Huge Congrats, Elise! That's so awesome! I'm considering doing the Tinkerbell Half at Disneyland the end of January. I'm really out of shape right now so it would be a huge accomplishment to train & finish it. I bet it would feel amazing. :) Looking forward to your tips!

That's awesome, Elise! You're moving to Ventura? I live in Santa Barbara and work in Ojai. Let me know if you need a friend in the area. :) At the very least, I'd love to meet for lunch sometime.

Oh wow - that is so generous of you! Thanks so much for the chance to win. The kit is adorable and I love what you've done with it so far - can't wait to see the rest. :)

Oh my gosh - this is the greatest!!

How cool is that??! Grilled Cheese is the kind of food truck I can get behind! I can imagine how fun that must have been for Claire. :)

Oh wow, that sounds amazing - going to try it this weekend! Thanks!

Awwww - she's so cute! Congrats on the new family member! I hope I get to meet all the members of your household one day. :)

I've loved your posts this week. :) Thanks so much for the chance to win!~

That was so cool - thanks for the tour! I'd like a job in your big creating room, please! :)

Your halloween collections are always my favorite! Thanks so much for the chance to win!

I see your posts on my Facebook page and then click on over to the blog to get more info. Thanks so much for the chance! I love Maggie's layout!

You are so funny, Suzanne! This made me laugh and laugh! What an arduous task you gave yourself - searching for pictures of The Avett Brothers. :) It is helpful though - they do change their looks a lot and can look very similar. I'm going to be sure to come back and study this often. ;) I loved that video with Kick Drum Heart and European footage. I can't wait for lessons 2 & 3!

This weather is the best! As we were driving home yesterday evening, we watched the car thermometer tick downward until in was in the low sixties - bliss!! Ethan and Noah can actually sing that entire album - a cute product of their mother listening to it EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. :) I just figured out that November Blue is one of the songs that I hadn't heard before Friday night. It's so wonderful. I can't believe you've been listening to them since 2008! I did a search for The Avett Brothers in my Google Reader in order to read the Posie Gets Cozy posts and found that Elizabeth has mentioned them a few times on her blog, too. I really enjoyed all of your links - thank you! And I'm sorry, but doesn't your Bob look a bit like Seth Avett - especially in the November Blue video??!! I love your new playlist! I'll have to give Grooveshark a try if I can ever manage to make blogging a habit.

Wow - it looks incredible! Those little trick or treaters are so cute and I love Claire's preschool ghost. :)

Your description of the show is so great, Suzanne! Yes, they played Kick Drum Heart (Ethan and Noah's favorite) - there were also a couple of songs that I hadn't heard before. Had you mentioned your love for The Avett Brothers on the blog in the past? Maybe, deep in my subconscious, I knew that you liked them and that's why I was prompted to tell you our Friday night plans. Hmmm. But my message to you was about something else all together. It's all so strange and wonderful. :)

Oh wow - these are so cute - I love the ruffle!! My favorite city to photograph is Minneapolis. I just love all of the old mills and stuff along the river. My favorite city strap is Chicago, just in case I'm lucky enough to win. ;) Thanks so much for the chance!

I always used to clean the house with my mom to ABBA and the Free to Be You and Me soundtrack. I need to get both of those on my ipod and put my kids to work. :)
