Hello lovely, patient, forgiving readers. It is time for a little Sara confession time. I am buried. No, not under all that soil from our patio. I am buried under work work work. I am the lead staff on a huge gala bash that my work is throwing in a little less than two weeks. I’ve been working on it for seven months, and it’s now crunch-crazy time. I also took a special assignment within my organization, on top of my already brimming over plate…well, you get the picture. So I want to say thank you for sticking around and reading, though I haven’t had much to share over the past few weeks. At the very least, you have to stay to see the pictures of this amazing bash!
With all the crazy-Sara, it’s been hard to keep up with what’s happening in blog world. Maybe you find that tricky too? Just in case, here’s a wrap up of my favorite blog finds from the past few weeks.
Check out Decorchick’s breezy summer mantle.
I am having a crazy-good time following Dana at House*Tweaking‘s adventures in renovating her new house, which is lovingly called “The Underdog.”
Have you seen Rebecca’s new stamped concrete patio?
I am taking Centsational Girl’s tips for styling a bookcase to heart.

I never saw this commercial, but I love these bouncy balls. {via Cup of Jo}
Hi Sugarplum! really knows how to style a gallery wall for a kids room.
Did you know that Oh Happy Day is giving away a trip to Paris? Oh yes, she is.
What are you loving in the blogosphere recently?

I love the bouncy balls, too! It’s on youtube if you want to see the whole thing. The song that accompanies it is beautiful too. It’s such a lovely clip that I forget that it is actually an advertisement!
