Happy Friday to you! Here are 5 notable things from this past week:
1> Well, you pretty much can’t top my 2nd blogiversary, now can you? I ate quite a lot of cookies in celebration. {Or maybe I would have eaten them anyway.}
Have you entered the $50 gift card giveaway for Shabby Apple? It’s as simple as a few clicks! And if you’re a male figure, you can totally enter and give the card to the female in your life. Or just mail it to me. Either is acceptable. Click here to enter!
2> I absolutely love this Valentine’s idea via Emily at Jones Design Company. Write a little love note to your kids everyday sharing 1 thing you love about them! Emily even provides a free printable to pretty things up!
3> I came across some pretty great links this week and thought I’d share:
Victoria shares 10 beautiful Valentine’s wreaths. Check ’em out to get your creative juices flowing. {oh, and 1 of them looks somewhat familiar!}
You can make homemade bread in 5 minutes.
Why you should consider getting rid of Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, and your scale. <—- excellent read
Funds running low? Here are 32+ date night ideas plus links to 350+ more!
4> I’ve had my eye on attending The Maker’s Summit for several months now. Ever since they announced it, really. I even sold some of my items to raise money for it. And Jonathan gave me the “go-ahead.” But I never registered because … well, I just never made up my mind.
So I was pretty bummed to see this notice when I checked the site this past Sunday:
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? SOLD OUT? No way!
I e-mailed the organizer and said something to the tune of, “I totally want to come. Please let me know if anyone cancels.”
On Tuesday, I got an email. They had 1 extra spot someone wasn’t going to use. Which took me to this lovely screen:
Awesomesauce! So, I’m headed to Greenville this weekend for The Maker’s Summit. Pretty excited. And scared. Let’s be honest. I will instagram some moments, so follow me {@BrownSugarToast} if you like crazy things like that as much as I do!
5> Last, but certainly not least…a new series!!! Starting this Monday and “airing” each Monday for the next 6 weeks:
Join me Monday and I’ll share one of our fave freezer recipes. Happy weekend!

happy friday! xo, sarah grace
Ooooh, I like the heart banner idea! Maybe I can tweak that and do it for hubby. And it just so happens that the 15th is the 5-year anniversary of when he asked me out for the first time. 😀
And I’m totally interested in hearing about what you learn at The Maker’s Summit! Any chance you’ve got some spare time before you head back home? 🙂
thanks, Sarah Grace! I’m pretty excited about it! thanks for stopping by!!
that’s a great idea!!! and unfortunately, no, I don’t think I will have spare time. 🙁 I need to fit in a 4 mile run in Gville before heading back to Charlotte, and I’m hoping to get home in time to tell my babies goodnight! 😀
so excited for you to go to the Maker’s Summit!! I hope you are having a wonderful time today!
looking forward to your series too! 🙂
thanks, Christina!!
