And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true
I have dreams of learning new things at work, growing this blog with possible sponsorship, starting an etsy shop with accessories and sewn goodies, improving in my photography, learning new recipes each month, finishing our basement, trying to eat healthy and workout while traveling, being the best wife/friend/daughter/sister-in-law/co-worker/blogger/stranger I can be, starting a family (eventually), all of this and trying to get enough sleep each night. Those dreams are somewhere… somewhere over the rainbow right? 😉
This week’s flavors to follow idea, as well as some of the links, were actually sent to me by sweet Erin from Slipcover Your Life. If you love cross-stitch, you must check out her shop! I’ve been so busy dreaming that I’ve been scrambling for ideas for this feature lately, so I was so happy when Erin sent me an email with this wonderful idea. I hope this colorful collage brings happiness to your weekend! 🙂

What a wonderful post Sandy!! I haven’t seen a rainbow for a while here.. which means there hasn’t been rain for weeks. At least not during the day. We need some.. everything looks brown.. well, not really, but not at green as usual.
I’m excited to see your etsy shop. I really need to open up mine soon, but need to get motivated… again. ha ha.
I hope you’re enjoying the rest of your Sunday. Hmmmm it’s probably already Monday where you are.. it’s 6:45pm here in Hawaii! much love girlie.
xx Love & Aloha
So many beautiful photos! The first one looks especially delicious. 🙂
What a fun post! #7 looks like it would be a pretty awesome place to live!
Love this post and this feature…full of such beautiful eye candy! The engagement image with the rainbow is divine!
This is perfect! It’s so colorful and so happy! That wedding photograph is just stunning.
