MoneyExchange

Money blogs are my new weakness. I read them like crazy. I'm recently learning about "snowflaking" from blogs like I've Paid For This Twice Already.

After reading some back entries, I signed up for an account at MoneyExchange and received a $25 bonus for doing so. Here is what MoneyExchange is:

"MoneyExchange is an easy way to transfer money between accountholders—anytime you are online. Pay a friend back for dinner without hitting the ATM. Give a roommate your half of the rent without writing a check. Send a sibling cash to cover your half of mom’s present —without mailing a thing. Sound easy?"

Kind of like PayPal without the fees. I added one of their banners to my toolbar on the bottom left. If you click it and sign-up, I get a $10 referral bonus (up to $500). And until May 15, 2008 you can get $25 just for signing up! So please do! Who doesn't need an extra $25?

Doug, Jack and Me Boutique Inspiration

All images in this post are of the russell+hazel® store in Minneapolis. They were downloaded from the russell+hazel® website.

This is what I imagine/day dream/foresee my design boutique looking like in the future. Everything is just perfect. Colors, floors, the light... amazing! And I will definitely carry russell+hazel® items in Doug, Jack and Me when that day comes.

M is for Maya

My sweet friend Erika is having a baby girl sometime very soon (**fingers crossed**) and I would love to get her this "M" pillow from The Yvestown Shop. The fabrics she uses are just beyond adorable for any baby girl. Check out The Yvestown Blog as well - she always posts the most calming, serene pictures.

Living Room Inspiration Board

For a birthday present, my mom is replacing my ugly green carpet in my living room/hallway. But before the carpet is installed, I would like to paint the now white walls with a taupe color and repaint the molding & trim a nice crisp white. The inspiration board I made, pictured above, will be the look I'm attempting. All pictures used (except for the the bookshelf project in the upper right) are from the paint palette galleries at Domino.
