Greetings all, I’m down in Southern California for 36 hours (without the kids!) to catch some rays and hang out with some cousins I haven’t seen in years. I’ve been looking forward to this mini getaway for some time and finally scheduled myself some girl time, I might have to do a little shopping while I’m here, yahoo!

This weekend I bring all of you décor lovers a great giveaway brought to you by one of my sponsors, Décor Steals (formerly WUSLU, but upgraded!).  Décor Steals is a unique shopping experience that allows you to purchase home furnishings and accessories at a fraction of their retail price.  They offer a new home décor item or “steal” every day at up to 80% off retail.  To never miss a steal, sign up for their daily email alert!  Shipping is only $5 (in the 48 contiguous states).

Here’s a peek at a few of the cool items recently available in the daily “steals”:

Hi everyone, happy weekend to you all!  Last night I was in Roseville and I gave a presentation for Home Depot in partnership with their resident garden expert Skip.  He taught us all a few new things about container gardening, and I chimed in the creative side, sharing some ideas on how to spruce up ordinary containers plus a few ideas on how to add beauty and whimsy to outdoor spaces.  I didn’t take any pictures since I was speaking, but here is a peek at one part where I’m showing how to create a mosaic tile planter, courtesy of Home Depot on Instagram.  I’ll show how I made that beautiful planter next week!

This weekend, the kind folks over at Home Depot are offering three lucky winners a $50 gift card to shop for anything you want!  Yep, there are three gift cards up for grabs this weekend.  Who’s in the mood for a little home improvement?
