I GET A KICK OUT OF MYSELF!

I am a collector of cute beverage napkins and these pretty much say it all about me!

Yes, sometimes I crack my own self up! Tonight, I'm in my office...tweeting, facebooking, and going through my Wish List Book. It's also my Style File. It contains photos and information about cute loot I want to buy. Every since I've been married, I have always kept a file of stuff I wanted...some of the stuff is extravagant--but it still stays in the book, just in case my husband hits the lottery!

I went to a seminar years ago and the speaker was talking about "getting what you want in life". He said "you must first visualize it"! "Visualize yourself having it and you will get it!" HA! As we all know, that doesn't always work, but I still keep filing photos in my book, just in case.

Here's my Wish List Book. The photos on the cover change from time to time, depending on my little heart's desire!
Inside the binder I also keep a Lilly folder, with estimates, vendor names and contact information.

Fabric samples...

My big project on the horizon will be to get my cottage repainted. This is how it looks now...it's a light green stucco with olive green doors and shutters. I want to paint it a pretty bright yellow with brighter green shutters and doors.

This is a photo of one of my favorite houses nearby. I love the vine which drapes from the top of the porch. This is definitely on my list of things to do! {Y'all, I love this house so much, I ride by it all the time...I go real slow and drool. I have even knocked on their front door once to ask about the name of the vine...it's a variegated bouganvilla. The lady probably thought I was crazy.}

Gonna add some window boxes with pretty red flowers onto the front windows...

If you follow me on Twitter, you know that recently I was fretting because I went out and bought birdseed and no birds showed up for about a week. Well now it's like McDonald's after school lets out...mucho bird feedin' action going on! So I must get some more bird condos...something a little more upscale than they have now!
Don't even ask me why I don't already have a white wicker swing on my front porch...I have no idea why! But, it's on the list:)

This comfy hammock would be pretty on my back porch.

I've been meaning to buy these for my front or my side door...so cute and so Southern!


Mlle. Coco Chanel needs a new bed and this one is just perfect for her...maybe with a cheetah print covered pillow!

Saw these copper molds in a magazine and I search for them all the time.

This is BIG TIME on my list! Want this bad y'all!
Of course, this would be on the front...

Another must-have accessory for the inside of my cute little Beetle...
This is on my SHORT LIST...I hope I get this bike for my birthday...It will match the house color and the VW Beetle color...I told y'all I crack myself up!!! I haven't been on a bike in years, for personal reasons, but I'm ready to try again!
This Nantucket bike basket is a must-have bike accessory...along with a bell! Ding. Ding. Again, I get a kick out of myself and that's all that matters!!!

Now this beautiful sterling tea tipper has been in the book for YEARS! Husband needs to hit the lottery so I can buy this pretty thing...and a pink Chanel pocketbook...and a pink Chanel suit!!!

These Sperry Topsiders are a must-have shoe to the preppy wardrobe. I'm embarrassed to admit I don't have them. You can be sure they are on my short list:)

Do y'all have a Style File or a Wish List Book? If you want cute loot, VISUALIZE IT! Yes ma'am!
