Friday Photo Montage

Happy Friday - the weekend is almost upon us! I woke up this morning to inside temperatures of only 68 degrees......not cold, but this is the first time in weeks that we have had the temperatures dip so low. The nights are getting dark earlier so I know that even though the calender says that fall is still almost a month away it it creeping up on us! In my house the kids are gearing up for school with new clothes, school supplies, hair cuts - all signs that summer is on the way out and fall is getting ready to make it's appearance.

My business - Country Gourmet Home is getting ready to launch it's new Fall/Winter product lineup and it's new compensation plan too. So many changes and I am looking forward to them like a kid at Christmas! I did manage to snap a few pictures over the summer, so before it is gone I thought I would share a few of my favorites!

Look at my "Country-fied" Kitchen

I have been so behind on any personal posts that I thought I would share. A while back hubs and I actually got a whole day to ourselves and we hit a giant tag sale. Needless to say I was in heaven. The tag sale was being held by a woman who used to own her own second hand store so the treasures and bargains she had were un-believable!

This is my kitchen window sill (right above the sink). The Red dish to the far right is holding a candle and it was bought as part of a larger set.

My Primitive Welcome hung above my buffet. I think the cost was $4.00 

I have this awesome space above my upper cabinets which houses all of my favorite new and old bowls and dishes. I just love my new Rooster bowl! 

I am not a very good photographer, obviously! This whole compilation was purchased at the tag sale. Total cost was about $20!

 I thought I had taken many more pictures than this - it always seems like I am taking too many, but when I go to post them on my blog there are never as many available as I thought. One of these days I will actually remember to take some pictures of the kitchen when there are no dirty dishes and the kid's junk stuff is off of the island! At least now you have a little glimpse into my Country Kitchen!

The Pink Tent - Camping in Style

Yesterday was somewhat of a milestone for me.....I dropped my youngest off for her first overnight Girl Scout Camp-out! She has spent the night away from home before, but this felt different somehow ~ maybe it is the sleeping outside in a tent that made it somehow different. As I went through the rest of the day I often caught myself looking at the clock and wondering what she is doing now? 

I stayed long enough to enjoy watching the girls set up their tents......a whole row of Bright Pink two man tents. I was so proud of how well she set up her little sleeping area which included her air mat, pillow, little LED night light and of course her favorite stuffed animal. She definitely inherited her Mama's "nesting" and "organizing" affinities!  
It's almost time to go pick her up and I know I will hear all about the memories she made during her trip and I couldn't be a more proud Mama, but it is bittersweet too ~ she is my youngest and I know that as I watch her reach her milestones I won't get to watch another until I have grandchildren and although watching them will be fun it just won't be the same.

FREE Income & Expense Form For Direct Sellers!

Are you in direct sales and struggle to find simple forms to help you keep track of your business? I am too much of a cheapo to pay for a form when I know I can create it myself and this one is hot off the press and FREE for you to use as you desire! I designed it to fit within my own Country Gourmet Home Business and our Commission Plan, but if you have any photo editing skills you can modify it to work for your needs.
To use this image you will need to save it to your computer and then paste it into a word (or similar) program.  It is designed to fit on an 8.5" x 11" standard size paper.

 I use one of these per month and is just a simple way to keep track of monthly income and expenses for my business. These will work great in a three ring binder along with pocket dividers to hold all of your receipts or create 12 file folders (one for each month) and fill out the form as you go along and toss your receipts in there too!
The only thing that I ask in return is if you are going to use this please leave me a comment with how you will use it and a link to your website and/or Facebook page (hey it's free advertising too).
I look forward to hearing how I am helping with your business.
