We should all be so Free

I know this has absolutely nothing to do with quilting or finishing furniture or even our everyday lives.  This just is about having fun and not being afraid to have fun.  This comedian was on Oprah and said "Control the things you can and let go of things you cannot control."  He learned this dance so when he was done speaking to a group of people he could connect with them and show them it is ok to have fun no matter what.  Everyone loves to dance but is afraid to make a fool of themselves.  I just laughed and laughed as I watched this.  Hopefully you will too!

Be sure and go to Chez Fifi and enter for her Fabulous Fifi sparkling giveaway.  She is giving away 10 sparkling things that are just beautiful.  Ballet slippers, pink pumpkin, wings, ornaments, this picture is a collage of what is in the give a way.  Fifi does setups for magazines, she is fun, french, romantic and very creative.  In fact, she redid a garage into a guest/studio with just construction help from one man.  She painted the floor herself and everything.

Homemade Swiffer Duster

Look what I found at Little Dear Tracks Blogspot.  She swears by it and uses microfiber cloth from the car section at your store or a carwash.  Give a try, saving money is always in style!!

Now for the othe fun thing I found.  Cinnamon rolls baked in a 1/2 orange, hollowed out.  You just have to try this one.  Ozzing with frosting and goodness.  I can feel the calories as I dream of the yummieness of it all.  Here is the link for you.
