The {A} List.
Tags:
1. Flowers. Love them. Passionately. My parents stopped by today on their way up to Seattle and brought along five new hanging baskets for the back porch - mom called and asked if I wanted them even if we were hoping to move soon - Yes, please. They also brought along a bucket full of bearded irises. Huge ones. Still have all the violet ones left to put into a vase.
2. Creations from Sally Jean. Especially the vintage fairy charms.
3. Yumm! sauce. A local company makes this and it is really fantastic. Looks like you can order it from their site - we love the Roasted Garlic and the Original Yumm! sauces. It is the best tasting thing without wheat, corn, gluten, casein (milk), animal products, eggs, cholesterol, or artificial flavors or colors. We have it about once a week with chicken, brown rice and a vegetable or two.
4. Pure Color Pigment Inks from Delta. Love the packaging on these guys - you can put them right onto stamps or right onto your page. Pretty cool.
more to come...

Thanks for the yumm sauce link- I am planning to go gfcf (my son is already gfcfsf), and I am starting to compile a list of foods I will be able to eat once my diet gets started. The yumm sauce will definitely make the list-
Thanks,
Nicole

Oh, I love the charms!!
I also love all of the e's surrounding the flowers. It makes a really nice touch. It does make me ponder - what do I do since I kept Sackett and my husband and sons are Uphoff? Do I get to do a mix of s's and u's??
