Lots of Announcements!.....

Today I decided to post all "my announcements" all at once,....please forgive the "advertisement" atmosphere of my blog today,.... but this is all great information I am very excited about, & I hope you might be too!..... so here goes!.....
The first is about my monthly newsletter, "Living Little with Heidi". Obviously it is the middle of June & no newsletter has been sent yet?....I so apologize.....Our family ended up planning a little vacation, which set me back a bit & when we returned it has been busy, busy, busy!.....So I decided to combine the June & July issues, which I promise will be going out in the next couple days!....
I also wanted to say a very appreciative "Thank you" to all of you who have been requesting "Living Little"!....It has been overwhelming & humbling to have so many of you ladies asking to be on my mailing list!.....Thank you again!
( to receive my newsletter, e-mail me at heididevlin@gmail.com)

My next announcement is about my upcoming "Living Little" class on July 9th, here at my home in Poway, California!....I have just sent out the information sheet for the class, so if you are interested in receiving one, please e-mail me at heididevlin@gmail.com......It should be a wonderful evening of ideas, how-to's & delicious recipes!

And last but not least, I have to tell you about the incredible "giveaways" my daughter, Holly, has going on today over at her darling blog "mommyholly", to celebrate her 500th post!!.....You must go see for yourself & leave a comment to be eligible to win some of the most amazing items!....( I am giving away a pillow too!)

O.K. I'm all finished!....I love hearing about what others have going on, so I hope you do too!
Enjoy your Monday afternoon!....
Your friend, Heidi XO

June's issue of "Living Little with Heidi" is almost finished!.....

Good Morning Friends,

Hope you are all doing well!....
Well, June has officially arrived, so that means another issue of
"Living Little with Heidi" is about to be e-mailed off to you as well!

I wanted to take a minute to thank the many, many friends who have been contacting me, asking to have "Living Little" sent to them!...I cannot tell you how that warms my heart!.....
And for those who are visiting for the first time, or have not heard about my newsletter, I must fill you in!

"Living Little with Heidi" is my monthly on-line newsletter......& it's FREE!! It is filled with ideas for decorating, entertaining, crafting, gardening, along with incredibly delicious recipes.... beautiful pictures & lovely seasonal quotes!

The message throughout this little publication is...."Creating a beautiful life, with little money, little time & in little space"!.....If you're like me, you too want to create a home that is a warm, cozy, inviting place that family & friends gravitate to....without spending every penny you make!.....We all want to do a little entertaining, especially in these glorious summer months, but again may feel we cannot spend untold amounts of money doing so!.....And like me, some of you may be finding yourselves living in smaller houses, condos or apartments with a less living space, but just as many people & things as before!


This is what "Living Little with Heidi" is all about!....Being able to do all the things we love, but doing it with less!....money time & space!

I am finishing up the last details of my June issue...which as I mentioned above, will be e-mailed out later this week! If you are interested in receiving "Living Little", please e-mail me at heididevlin@gmail .com. I will be "tickled pink" to send a copy off to you!

Have a delightful day!

Heidi XO

"Living Little" Classes began in July!

Hello Friends, So sorry for being a bit absent from blogging lately!....It is a busy time for us all, isn't it!.....Last weekend, both our daughters graduated from college....next week is my grandson's last week of kindergarten & then it's time for summertime to begin!...so our household is definitely "buzzing" with activity!

One of the most exciting things for me,is the announcement of my
first "Living Little with Heidi" class!!...Many of you are receiving my monthly on-line newsletter by the same name. It is filled with my thoughts on decorating, entertaining, gardening, crafting & cooking.... Along with all these delightful topics, my philosophy for the newsletter is "Creating a beautiful life with little money, little time & with little space"!.....which I feel is very relevant for the times we are living in. We all want our homes to be lovely, but sometimes feel we either don't have the time or space or money to do the things we need to. And that's where "Living Little" comes in!..In it I share simple, cost-effective ideas which help us all create the homes & gardens we dream of!

Along with writing the newsletter, I thought it might be fun to offer an actual
"Living Little" class. My first class will be held here at my home & patio in Poway, California ( just north of San Diego) on Friday evening, July 9th at 7:00pm. My classes are very casual with everyone gathering in various areas of my home, while I share "how-to's", recipes, & ideas. There will be a seasonal dessert served, & each guest will go home with a booklet filled with everything that's covered that evening!..... The cost of the July class will be $45....Below is what I have planned for the first class....If you are interested in coming, or have questions, please e-mail me at "heididevlin@gmail.com"......There is limited space, so reserve your seat now!
