september sponsors!

I am now accepting September sponsors for Run With Scissors!!

Last month, the spots were a hit!

Run With Scissors is a cute blog with a big readership. 

Advertising on this blog would be a great way to get your cute shop or blog out there for others to see!

Here are the details:

*  all ad spots will be featured on my blog for one whole month.  

*  The ad spot will go up on the first and taken down on the last day of the month.

*  Anyone who purchases a large ad space will also have a feature blog post written about them sometime during the month!!  This would be a great time to offer a giveaway or discount code:)

*  You will need to provide a blog button that will be resized to fit the dimensions of your chosen ad space.

(If you don't have a button, Courtney is offering Run With Scissors' readers a discount on her button designs. She is incredibly talented and a wonderful person to work with for any type of design work)

If you are interested in purchasing a September ad space, or if you have any questions, contact me by clicking on the email icon at the top of my page!! 

Thank you!!

p.s  scroll down to see my Thursday post of my master bedroom for the home tour :)

the master bedroom...

Welcome to the master bedroom :)

This quilt was such an amazing antique find!! It is so old, and ornate, and still in such great condition :)  We love it a lot!!

This little collection of loveliness is another one of my most favorite spots in our home :)  We have some of our engagement photos, my Dolan Geiman original and my Rob Ryan original!!  Plus we have our "M" which I love!!

This cute little shelf was actually part of my nursery set when I was a baby :)  I cut it down so that it would fit better in this space.  We house all of the special little items that mean something really special to us as a couple.  I love love love this little corner A LOT!!

A closer shop at our cute owl couple from Skunkboy Creatures and my favorite little fall tree from hitree :)

I will post more bedroom pictures later, again running late this morning!!

share you space in the comments below!!

the spare space...

Why hello there!! 

Today's challenge was to document your spare bedroom/child's room. Unfortunately, we live in a one bedroom home so I don't have either of those rooms :)  So, instead I am going to give you a little tour of my entry-way.  I like to think it's pretty cute!!!

Here is my front door.

This is what you see from the outside:

and from the inside, going out...

The first thing you see is a closet with a mirrored door that says "Welcome Home"

This might be one of my most favorite places in our entire home...my little "Welcome" collage of art.

I love love love it!!  Usually this area changes with the season but as of right now...this is what it looks like :)

oh it makes me smile so much!!!

 A little bit further down the hallway, on the opposite side is this little set-up...

Adam and I like to write cute messages to each other here :)

At the end of the hallway (closest to the front door) I painted the entire wall with chalkboard paint and created  little message/organization station :)

and finally, here is a look at the entire hallway as a whole...all of those different shots made it look sooo spacy but seriously, look at how small this little hallway is :)

Leave me a comment and a link to your post where you share your "extra" room or space for today :)

Thanks so much for sharing!!!
