Silent gratitude isn’t much use to anyone.

Our Top Three Posts

What has been catching your eye this month? Here are our top posts!

1. I’m totally with you on this one. I’m a sucker for these mummy cookie suckers! It’s hard enough to resist food, but when it’s so darn cute? Impossible!

2. I am speaking from experience when I say you’re gonna LOVE this. We made this Family Night and it was a HUGE hit. I was practically drinking the stuff by the end of the night. Yes, I have no self control where sugar is concerned. I’m sure you’ve got your sweet tooth in check. But then again, you might be surprised what you’re capable of when this stuff hits the taste buds!

3. Do I see a theme here? I see I’m not the only out there with 6 sweet teeth. No worries, the dentist will be on board with these sweet treats since they will be adorning your home and not your molars! Who knew you could use candy in ways other than adding padding to the hips? And in such gorgeous ways? Love it.

And Our Sponsors

I can’t say enough about our incredible sponsors. We love them, and value what they do, and we believe in what they provide. They are the BEST of the BEST and we want to take a second to shine a spotlight on them and their wonderful sites!!

I know, if you are like me, you are always on the look out for that one unique gift. The one that says, “Hey, I’ve been thinking about you a lot, and this gift is uniquely YOU!”. Chantelle Nicole designs has just what you are looking for. Take a second and see for yourself!

I know this sponsor has caught your eye already when we hosted a giveaway a couple of weeks ago. If her shoppe name hasn’t dragged you in, I just KNOW that her bath and body products will. Can you smell them from here? Ooooooh, delectable. If I start coughing up bubbles, it’s because I couldn’t resist tasting one.

So Stinkin’ Sweet!

I get goosebumps when I think that Silhouette sponsors us. Do you have this totally versatile die-cutting machine, yet? WHAT?! Okay, I can’t really hear you, but I thought that added some dramatic effect. If you don’t, I’m not sure we can be friends. Okay, we totally can….but, as a friend, I have to tell you that this machine is SUCH an amazing tool for all of your paper crafting, vinyl art, wood crafting, fabric transfer, home decor, and general creative working needs. It really does all of that…. and more 🙂

It takes a village to keep a website going, and we couldn’t love our fellow villagers more. Did you know that YOU are a part of that village? Every time you comment, each time you post about us on your blog, each time you “like” our facebook updates, and each time you talk to your friends about HowDoesShe is helping our little village to grow. So, we want to sincerely express our gratitude for you, and all you do. THANK YOU!
