Want some free jewelry?

I have a dear friend that I have known since junior high...she is super fantastic...I couldn't even begin to tell you all the fun memories we created together (it would be the longest post in history)! I lost touch with her shortly after she got married and I moved out of the state of Washington...and then a couple years ago, I hunted her down and found her through her website homerestyle.net...it was the craziest thing (love google search) and I couldn't have been happier. Since then, I see her whenever I make it back up to the great northwest...which really should be more often. I've even been to her gorgeous home on a few occasions...maybe you have seen pictures of it????...I'm just guessing you have passed by her blog:

It's the Little Things That Make a House a Home

have you met Karla...?

She is seriously the most talented person I know...I wish I could just duplicate her home right here in Salt Lake...I tell her quite often that she needs to live closer to me, so she can decorate my home! Pretty sure I'm not going to get her to move from that house of hers. Oh...and you know that super talented and crafty husband of hers...I spent my senior prom with the 2 of them...I just love them...and love that they are together:

(Karla...you can blame Will for putting this on facebook...just made it WAY to easy not to share.)

(the couple on the right...Will's sister and her then boyfriend/now husband..

guess I was the only one from the group that had to wait 7 years to find my husband:)

Okay...so why am I telling you all of this?

I'm not just "blog name dropping here"...
