Vote on tips for a more organized life

Self magazine is giving away a gift certificate to the Container Store. All you have to do is enter a tip that you use to better your life and let others vote on it! I entered one about keeping the car tidy. If you like it, vote "great tip" for me. Let me know if you enter a tip, too - I'd love to hear about your answers for a more organized life!

And the winner is...(warning, spoilers ahead)

Christian Siriano on Project Runway Season 4! I thought that all three of the finalists had a really good chance of winning and I loved all of their collections. This has been my favorite season so far. I love the peeks of red that Jillian put into the lining of this jacket.

And I loved the antique lace dress that Rami put together. I think I could get married in that dress (I know, I'm already married, but you get the point.)

But overall, I'm secretly glad that Christian won. I predicted it from the start. His clothing is art. And this dress was a show-stopper. Fierce!

What were your favorite outfits?

The Garden Swap

I participated in Nicole's Garden Swap. It was so much fun to receive something random in the mail! Jana from Lola Again sent me this gorgeous patchwork tote. It will be perfect to take shopping along with my new flip and tumble bag that I won from Rachel. She also sent along a cute little card and some great coasters. Very Martha-y. Thank you Jana! I love it!

I sent my package of seeds, garden inspired beads and charms, vegetable soaps and little books to Amy of The Life and Times of Monkey and Scooby. I hope she likes it! I like doing swaps. I'll definitely do it again.

I won!

I entered a give away on Your Heart Out and I won! They are shipping me awesome stationary package from Seraph. The cool part is that I was just shopping for stationary because I'm all out! I haven't ever won anything either, so I feel very special! (Except for the time I was in college and they called my name at a basketball game to say I had won $5,000, but I WASN'T THERE! so they gave it to someone else. Carrie was the one who broke the news and my stomach hurts to this day when I think about it.) So now my day has come! It's not $5,000 but I don't care. I'm super excited!
