what a full month this has been already so far.
sports for five…..craft weekend….craft fairs…family visits….anniversaries….
and coming this week…BLOG SUGAR.
i am getting excited but nervous. (i sang a song called nervous but excited…..)
what if i trip? what if i say the wrong word?
(once my friend said organism instead of organization during a presentation. it could have been worse……)
what if people don't listen?
what if i forget what i was going to say?
what if i cry? how much will i cry?
i am wearing some fabulous shoes…. 
and right now….that is all i know about the entire trip.
don't know what i will wear.
at all.
nothing matches glitter shoes.
tomorrow i WILL find something….right??? tell me i will. i need to be reassured.
i picked up my barn treasures this weekend that i bought last week at craft weekend…..
a dirty OLD cabinet with glass knobs and doors and RED chippy paint!!!
did your heart just skip a beat?
red chippy paint does that to me.
so does white chippy paint. :)
on sunday morning i woke up in my happy place.
🙂
after a loooong night of POURiNG rain for hours on end…scary storms…got up in the night to check the weather.
we got to enjoy the pond full of that fresh from rain loveliness.
and go fishing in the morning!
we've never done that.
it was all girls except mike.
teeny baby frogs were so fun to catch.
"i need mo' woooooms"
talby caught one and macy caught two but neither two made it out of the water….they pulled free just as she was about to lift them out of the water.
no fish for annie or maya.
annie was talking quite loud all morning and one point shouted
"WHY DID GOD MAKE PATIENCE?!! IT"S SO HARD!!!"
so true.
i went to see The Help AGAIN.
loved it as much as the first time.
cried through 6 kleenexes.
that is a good thing….
i had pictures last night.
love this one…..
life.
plain and simple.
hope your monday is fabulous.
i ran this morning and that really helped my day start well.
yay.
………………………………………..

i want to share each of our CRAFT WEEKEND sponsors with you.
come see who i like today!
gatorade is teaching me about being a sports mom…. 🙂

nicole @ deliajude - i spotted your shoes at kohl’s today and thought of you…and prayed for you. blessings from afar.
ViVO Candles - Everyone needs a bright red chair in their life…it just gives you energy looking at it.
Cindy - Might just be the BEST family photo ever! It speaks volumes and I.Love.IT!!!
Kelly - i loved catching tiny baby frogs in my grandparents yard when I was younger! If they still lived there I would go and catch some. Kelly

hannah singer - BLOG SUGAR!
super looking forward to hearing you speak and meeting your lovely self.
and those shoes are the jam.
your chippy paint treasures are perfect! love! xo
Lisa - I wish I was heading to southern CA… It’s where I grew up. I think you are gonna do great speaking. Anytime you speak from your heart it will be well received! And I’m jealous of your fun chippy paint finds. 🙂
lindalou - love…………………the shoes i would kill myself wearing them 🙁
blessings,
Marcie Millholland - I’m a little in love with the white chippy paint – I am a chippy paint kind of girl, too.
You will pull off the shoes – of that I am certain. They’d be great with anything. From jeans to a ball gown 🙂
And on the previous post- I love Waffle stories. I have a “Biscuit” and you have a “Waffle” ! And I’m from the South so all I can say about his haircut is… Bless his heart!! Thanks for the great blog. Marcie
Jodi - THE SHOES FREAKIN ROCK!!!! WHERE DID YOU FIND THEM???
Sharon Kindall - As almost everyone else said; glitter shoes go with anything!!!!! I would wear any solid color with them. Meg I love, love , love your blog but what is Blog Sugar? I go up to The Pocono’s for my craft weekends and it’s sooo much fun, but I didn’t know anyone else did them. I’m glad to hear there are others around. sharon
Melissa Bolton - Meg! That family picture is fantastic!!
Not that I’m one who should be giving fashion advice, but I love those shoes!
I’d wear an understated outfit, like great jeans and a black or white shirt. Let the shoes and accessories steal the show.
Maria Bryan - So excited for you and Blogsugar…I live like 10 minutes from the Rose Center…you could stop by and I will style you up….you will be the chic-est one in the entire place…that I can assure! 🙂 Have fun…cant wait to see pictures!!!!
Melissa - That family photo is adorable!!!
janel - I think you need a really great black dress, that is all. Let the shoes “be” the accessory. a sparkly bracelet and earrings and you are good to go! Oh, and a little clutch.
Have fun!
elz - I have glitter shoes almost exactly like that (Mine are the kate spade Charm heels. LOVE). I usually wear mine for evening events. If I were to wear them during the day, I would wear black skinny jeans, a white shirt, a solid shrug or cardigan or a colored scarf. Let the shoes do the talking. You’ll be great!
andrea - Your sunflowers look so happy! I tried to bring some in and they were covered with aphids! I would think glitter shoes would match anything. That family picture at the end is priceless!!!!! Would LOVE to have a photo like that of my family that captures the family dynamics and personalities.
Candy - Are you kidding me? Glitter shoes go with everything! You always look wonderful, you will be amazing!
Kim - You WILL find something to wear! Love your new finds of old-paint-chipiness. So good. And I love the painted hallway.
Emily - Great finds! Especially love the old cabinet and glass knobs!
Would you mind sharing where ‘The Barn’ is or name so that I might find it? I’m planning a day trip from Olathe with friends to come down and check out the antique store and would LOVE to go to the barn as well.
Good luck this weekend! You’ll do (and look) fabulous!

Emily - Fabulous shoes! With something so sparkly, you can go basic black on the rest of the outfit. Skinny black pants or a simple black wrap dress. Good luck!
karen - okay..you can’t go wrong with a very fitted black dress with pencil skirt style and then add a super colourful cardigan with some of your cool accessories.Your shoes are awesome!
danielle burkleo - what you mean….orgasm? THAT would have made people smile.
😉
you are going to do fabulous! i can just see it now… killer little black dress, sparkly shoes, tissue in hand, ready to go!
five days!!!
Alice Nakles - wear a black sexy dress. it will make your beautiful shoes pop!!! post pictures too!!
Molly - I read that all you were going to wear was the shoes. Oops, you said that all you knew was the shoes… big difference!
shauna - that video (nervous but excited) made me laugh.
the shoes make me a little nervous (because i think i might look like a ragamuffin in boots or something)
and that last photo is priceless.
really good job capturing them!

Lori Austin - Love the shoes, love the hallway…
You’ll be great. God knows exactly what you need/want to say and He will help you do just that.
Ellen - think your glitter shoes are fabulous!!!
An idea: wear a cool, moderny black shirt, some awesome girly/sparkly earrings, an awesome chunky bangle, THOSE shoes and you’ve got it made. That’s what goes with glitter shoes 🙂
Can’t wait to see the pics!
Whitney S - Black pants… cute tank in ivory or winter white (like this… http://www.target.com/p/ME-Fashion-Tank-Assorted-Colors/-/A-13353739 or this http://www.target.com/p/Mossimo-174-Women-s-Racerback-Bib-Top-True-White/-/A-13138248 or this… http://www.target.com/p/MEC-Clarrisa-Slvls-WVN-top-Asst-Clrs/-/A-13348963… with a cute cardigan…and the pretty shoes will pop!

Anne Marie - Everything goes with glitter!
siobhan - bought those shoes at kohls,love them:))))

Naomi - A black dress with those sparkly heels and you are sorted!
Ashlyn@Pinecone - Ooooohh you found some great stuff!! I just got a giant sideboard on craigslist that I’m pretty excited about.

Nicole - Fantastic shoes! Have a wonderful time at Blog Sugar Meg!! You will do great and you will find an outfit for them. :0) I love the treasure you picked up, can’t wait to see what you do with them. I missed the “big” craft fair this year, but I’m so excited for the Hesston Barn Sale coming up. This will be my first one and I’m so nervous I won’t have enough stuff. Have a wonderful time! Wish I could attend Blog Sugar! Maybe, someday.

This Farm Family's Life - My cousin wore those same shoes in a wedding. The dresses were deep purple and they looked awesome!!! So maybe wear a dark purple top???? Love them! You will rock it!

Sarah @ Handbags*N*Pigtails - I cant wait to see those shoes in person in just a few days!!! Pray for me: I hate flying:) And I’ll be flying alot to get there.
xo
Jen - The glitter shoes are too much fun to drab out with a black dress…why not try royal blue or hot pink? (knee or tea length).
Laura - Yes to the glitter shoes! Everything goes with glitter shoes! Have fun and wear the shoes!
Laura Phelps - glitter shoes, I would imagine, can be treated like animal print shoes…”because they go with nothing, they go with everything.”
I want to go to blog sugar.
badly.
God had other plans for me this month…hate when he does that
miss you
xo
Lisa - I think a black dress would look good with the shoe(slimming too, not that you need it!) :), and maybe some colorful, rainbow-y jewelry? Glitter goes with everything!!
Kerry - oh those shoes…… those shoes!! divine! what a fun, awesome september you are having, and you still managed to fit a run in? wowza! :)) xxx
Allison H. - I consider glitter to be neutral, the new black you could say, it goes with everything. As long as you don’t pair it with something like a hot pink feather boa, you’ll look great!!
happygirl - EVERYTHING goes with glitter shoes. Break a leg. Just be your AWESOME self. 🙂
Vonda - Love your shoes!!! I have a pair that are very similar, just no peep-toes! I think glitter shoes go with anything! I feel like cinderella when I put mine on!:)
crystal - I’m sort of hoping that you have a Freudian Slip and say “orgasim.” I for one would laugh my head off — not at you, with you. Because it would be so funny, and you are someone who could pull it off.
Good luck to you. I covet those sparkly shoes. 🙂
Nikki - Honeygirl, EVEYRTHING goes with glitter shoes! Don’t be afraid of showing off your blogger badself!
amanda - oh…..glitter shoes go with anything!
Heather (One Take On Life) - First love the shoes, those rock! And that cabinet, I heart that cabinet, what an awesome find.
Jenna@MomofManyHats - Annie has so much wisdom! What a girl. My husband has taken me fishing so many times. So far I’ve caught a tree, the dock, some seaweed, a bush and the side of the boat. A fish has to be next, right?
Also, don’t underestimate a LBD with sparkly shoes!

kelley - I love the shoes! wore them as a bridesmaid in a wedding 2 weeks ago! We had solid purple dresses on. Honestly- I think any solid will look great! So what’s your favorite color? go with it! The material we wore was shiny, I think that helps.
Wendy - How bout some fantastic leopard print ensemble to go with those glitter shoes!
Secret Mom Thoughts - Love the shoes! I would go with a little black dress.
Tanya H - Looove the shoes, looove the antiques, looooooooove that family picture. Wow, that really just captures it all! 🙂
kat @ Pretty in Pink and Green - Great furniture finds and those glitter shoes are FAB.U.LOUS darling!!! Love them. You’ll do great!
Sarah B - I love white chipped paint…love love love it.
Also I love those shoes…I think they would go great with anything and everything. And it is a good thing you are a little nervous for Blog Sugar..it means you are human! I am nervous for it and I am just attending it..but yippee, very excited!
Rebecca - I wore shoes almost exactly like that for my wedding. They looked fabulous but felt terrible. I’m just warning you, girl: BREAK THEM IN!!!
Holly - Yes, chippy red paint is awesome! Here’s the plan: if you screw up while giving your presentation at BlogSugar, I will burp really loud and put all the attention on me. I love you that much. Looking forward to meeting you and burping for you this weekend. Now, I seriously need to go find some better shoes.
Karen Gerstenberger - You will find the right thing to wear – glitter shoes will go with “whatever” else you find that you like. It will match because the same creative spirit that inspired you to buy the shoes will inspire your vision for the rest of it.
I wish I could hear you speak.
I love your photos and your fresh perspective, Meg.
xoxo
seriouslysassymama - Glitter shoes go with EVERYTHING! I love the furniture, and cannot wait to see what you do with it!
Mrs. Edberg - I think almost anything would match glitter shoes. Especially a nice pair of black slacks or a cute black skirt. Keep the bottom simple and your sassy shoes will POP big time! So fun!
Holly - I saw the glitter shoes recently and almost bought them, but decided that nothing would go with them! ha! Cant wait to see what you come up with!
Nikki - My heart skipped a beat over those shoes! They are fantastic! I could never wear them though,I’d fall flat on my face!
Tamara - I think black might accentuate those awesome glitter shoes! Just so you know, I was in a bad mood on Saturday…and read through every one of your Waffle, the Wonder Dog posts…and they lifted my spirits. He really is a Wonder Dog!
Melissa - I love that cabinet and all it’s chippy paint charm!
I love those shoes but I could never in a million years wear them!
Am I really the first to comment?!? I rock!
