Hello my sweet friends! It's here! I just received my copy of Country Living Magazine in the mail today and SILVER BELLA is featured in it!!!!! What a beautiful and visually stunning article! The Queen Miss Foof-a-La Teresa host this AMAZING YOU MUST BE THERE yearly event! I attended last year and had the MOST FUN weekend of my life!!!!
The spread is so pretty and truly captures what the whole weekend is about. Yours truly (hee! hee!) is pictured in the froofy pink and cowboy hat shopping at the vendor faire.
I am SOOOO thrilled to be attending again this year and CANNOT wait to meet so many gals with whom I've had the wonderful opportunity to grow very close to thru our blogging community!
We gals, Fall has FINALLY arrived in the deep south! Cooler temps, leaves starting to slowly change, and the State Fair in town is a true sign that Fall is here!!!
Hubby and I took the kiddies to the State Fair this past weekend and the kids had a BALL! We got to the fair early before it got super crowded and it worked out perfect! It was a bit overcast, but we didnt let it dampen our spirits!
There is something about going to the fair that is so nostalgic. I remember in high school it was a big deal to get a whole group of your high school friends and go at night. I remember the chilly nights, bright colored blinking flashing lights, sounds of games,rides,screams and laughter!
The best part of the fair is the YUMMY food! Food that I only eat when Im at the fair. Funnel cakes, caramel apples, corn dogs, cotton candy, and fried OREOS. "Yes!" I said right. FRIED OREO COOKIES!!!
I WISH I could have this exact sign hanging in my studio. Flashing lights and ALL!
I took some cute and fun shots of the kids that I'd love to share with ya!
The smirk on Grant's face is a hoot!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YUM!!!!!!!! Corndog!!!!
Daddy and Vivi on the Flying Elephant ride.
After the rides and a little lunch we took time out for the petting zoo.
The face on this llama just cracks me up! Those teeth!
This shot is such a HOOT! The goats must be use to having their pictures taken. They pose so well! hee! hee! Jeez. I wish I knew how to photoshop the guy out of the picture. LOL!!
Thanks for stopping by my friends! Hope you are all enjoying the beautiful fall weather and gearing up for Halloween. We are shopping for costumes this week! 😉
Hugs & Kisses,
Adorable fair pictures! ~Mandy
I’m a sucker for cotton candy stands, not only do they smell and taste yummy, but the colors are so pleasing! Great pics!

Being a small town Texas girl, the fair brings back memories for me too! Loved your pics! And I just got my copy of Country Living in the mail today too! The spread on Silver Bella is fabulous! Congrats on being famous! 🙂
Wow how wonderful, you looked adorable! I’m sure you will have a wonderful time! Hope I can go next year! Hugs, Kimberly
I saw that lovely photo of you when I looked in my magazine!
Fried Oreo- you didn’t?!?!? Was it yummy? I’ve heard there was some new fried foods introduced at the Arizona State Fair this year- I can’t imagine!
Your photos of your family at the fair are so delightful!!

I have never tried the fried oreos but I can only imagine that they are delish!

Hey you! I owe you an email!! This will have to suffice lol! How adorable of the sweet ones and the fair. When I saw that sign in your Flickr I thought of how you would love to have that in a studio and then you said it here…laughing now!
I am so so sad I will not be able to make Silver Bella this year, but next year for sure! I can’t wait to see all the photos from everyone about their experiences and see all the fun treasures!
You look scrumptious in your Bella frock! Stunning Jenn!

Jenn,
You look so glam in your pink & cowboy hat.
The Fair looked like so much fun. I have
tasted the Fried Oreo’s they are delicious.
You have a beautiful family! The picture of
the goats posing is too funny.
Great post!
Andrea
Your photos are terrific and it looked like a fun time. Look at the baby eating a corn dog-she’s something. : )
I was just going through my almost 22 yr old son’s photos for Halloween pictures. Found similar shots of him with animals. Boy does the time fly.

I so hear ya on the cooling off. I can finally turn my central air off tomorrow and hopefully for good! Fall in the Deep South sure takes its time.
LOVE the fair pics and your sweet ones! I can’t wait to get my Country Living. I swear my mail lady reads all my mags before I get them 🙂
I just put up Dev’s First Birthday pics on my blog.
Toodles~~Kris
LOL, what a CUTE post of the kids Jenn! I love goats, they are so cute. That llama is hilarious, lol! I have to show that pic to my boys, they will love it, lol! I know EXACTLY what you mean about the fair!! LOVE it! The food and those signs are my favorite part too! I can see you creating something like those signs too 🙂
I will have to get that magazine since I cant go to Silver Bella!
Big Bunny Hugs,
Amy
Jenn, I just showed these pice to my youngest two boys. According to my three year old, we are wrong and the llama and the goats are actually HORSES, lol! My four year old said the llama is a moose. kids are so cute and funny, lol!
Love ya,
Amy
Jenn, you made me hungry for Cotton Candy, so we have the International Rice Festival this weekend, so gonna grab some. First time I won’t have a booth, so it will be fun seeing instead of selling. Great pics and looks like you all had a great time.
Another question for you. I have seen so many people use gathered crepe paper for edge trimming and how do you keep it from getting wet and running? I think I may stick with some lace or tulle, but have lots of crepe paper, but so afraid to put that much work into something for it to get wet and bleed. Any help would be appreciated. I have got to use my bling and all the rest of the goodies I got from mom’s craft shop. Hugs, Pat
Jenn, Grant is the CUTEST with that little smirk!! I’m so glad you made the magazine – you truly encapsulate what Silver Bella is!!
~Jamie
Congrats on the photo of you in Country Living! You SO deserve it, you looked SO cute that night!! Can’t wait to see you soon. **smooches**
I loved all your pictures…looks like you had lots of fun…and I LOVE the sign…I’ll take one too!
Looks like a fabulous good time! Come by I’m having another giveaway!
To the Bella Queen: You looked like a movie star in the magazine. I am also looking forward to Silverbella again. I think it is the highlight of my year. I still feel like I have so much to do and so little time. Kara
How AMAZING that your picture is in the issue! I am so excited that I get to go to SB this year:) Your kiddos are just ADORABLE!
Sand
Hi Jenn,
congrats to your pictures in Country living and thanks for showing us all the nice pictures from the fairy. They are all sooooo beautiful, but honestly the one with the lama on it is my absolutely favorite one, it makes me laugh out loud while watching it. The teeth are the sweetest, hehe…
Have a nice day,
Sabine
Isn’t the petting zoo fun for the babies? We just love them here. We spent more time looking at chickens and ducks than doing anything else at the pumpkin patch this weekend!
Ooops,I forgot to pick up a Country Living! I need to get one, thanks for the reminder. You look gorgeous in the magazine!
YOU’VE BEEN TAGGED! View the details on my blog! Love your blog:)
Blessings to you!

Jenn, I wanted leave you girls a personal note about the Sweet Six Retreat.
It’s always sad when the party’s over and it’s time to say good-bye….
The wonderful thing about this “Sweet Retreat” I get to take the lessons and new friendships with me. On a rainy, dreary, day when it seems there’s no sunshine in sight. I can pull out your craft lessons and create my own sunny day. Thank you girls!! For your time, energy and incredible talents shared!!
I look forward to your next event.
Sara
Jenn, absolutely adorable shots & congrats on the photo, you look as adorable as ever.
Take a minute to come visit my blog I have tagged you.
