Blog Swap with Camilla from Rosy Red Buttons

Hey Just Between Friends (friends)! My name is Camilla and I am so excited to be here! Jonie is probably the coolest person I know so I'm pretty stoked she trusts me to take over this blog... so here goes!  I am married to the greatest man EVER (I know you'll probably throw in the vote for your husband, but its just not true) ;) and we are expecting our first child ANY day now. Literally. I may go postal. I take pictures as a profession, can it get any cooler? Yes, my husband digs in the dirt for his. That makes for awesome conversations. I have a little blog called Rosy Red Buttons that I started in Septemberish, about the same time as Jonie. It has been all kinds of fun to do. I started it just because I was going to be doing so many remodels and projects in preperation for our first child, a little girl. She'll make her grand entrance in about a week. *Please.*
I also enjoy decorating and then re-decorating my house, so some of my projects involve that. I recently finished the master bedroom with all the furnishing and decor I wanted and said to my hubby, "Look it's finally finished!" He looked back at me and said, "We'll see." It has sat for 3 months relatively untouched, so I'm pretty happy about that. He is too. Here are some of my favorite projects from this year: Ruffled Mobile. I'm super particular about all the colors and patterns in the nursery, so I had to make my own. :) Personal Picture Clocks. You'll remember seeing these on Jonie's blog because we actually made them together! I have known Jonie since college so it's been way fun to be friends post college life.   

Nursery Makeover! Ok, I realize that most of my projects involve baby-ness, but I can't help myself. I can't wait till she's here to fill up this sweet space! Nursery Furniture Makeover. Oh boy were these ugly before.   Ruffled Table Runner. Yea, I'm kindof obsessed with ruffles. These can be made as short or long as you need!
 Custom Canvas Frames. I smile everytime I see it on my staircase.  I think that is enough to be sufficient for you. Um, did that sentence even make sense? Probably not. I'd love to meet you and see your fun ideas and blogs and have you follow along in my attempts to be a first time parent while crafting. Uh Yikes. Come by and see me at Rosy Red Buttons!  Thanks again Jonie for inviting me over. You rock! Have a great day!!

Blog Swap with Michelle from a Little Tipsy!

Hi There! I am so excited to be here on Just Between Friends today! I love Jonie's winter wreath and Ribbon Holder!

Michelle, from A Little Tipsy here, taking the wheel for the day!

Nope not drunk (what a relief you will not be taking your tour with a drunk driver), I may or may not be a bit clumsy though.

A little about me, I am a SAHM with one crazy 3 year old boy, a 8 week old baby boy, and a big geek for a husband (don't worry, he calls himself a geek). I love keeping busy and sharing all my projects and adventures whether they be Home decor, holiday projects, or discovering how to get permanent marker off granite counter tops.

So, enough about me...here are a few of my favorite projects to coordinate with the following New Years Resolutions...

1. Increase Your Faith

2011 Mutual Theme Subway Art
I work with the young women in my church (LDS) and wanted a fun way to display the 13th article of faith.

2. Show More Love

Earlier this year I started a little theme called "Show a Little Love" where I featured all sorts of ideas on how to show love to spouses, neighbors, parents, etc.

A couple of my "Show a Little Love" favorites are the Stay Home Dates. With the new baby we do not get out much so we have become creative.

Like Candlelight Scrabble



Chinese Themed Date



or for a trip back in time...

What if We'd Met in High School Date

3. Be More Organized

Make your own Key Hanger
and never lose those keys again!

4. Lose Weight

Use these recipes tonight and start your diet tomorrow! ;)

I'm kinda sorta known as the treat girl. I am asked to bring dessert to every family gathering and even have a feature on my blog called Cereal Treat Sunday. Here a fun little recipe to use up those leftover candy canes.

Chocolate Candy Cane Crunch Cookies



I love hosting giveaways and have a lot of really fun ones lined up so be sure to check in often!

Well, I guess that about wraps things up. Thanks to Jonie for swappin' it up and thanks to you for letting me be your tour guide today. Watch your step on the way out and don't forget to come visit soon!
