WinkFlash's Flat Rate Photo Book Offer

OK, I know this post really doesn't have anything to do with a NW Houston event...BUT...you are NOT going to want to let this deal pass you by!!

So indulge me and take a peek below...


Last year after I went to Italy, I took advantage of Winkflash's amazing Flat Rate Book Sale.

I was able to make a 100 page book for $19.99.

Yep, you read that right..

And here is the BEST part.

I was able to enlarge so many of my photos to a full page because I had 100 pages to play with. Enlarging pictures of the Amalfi Coast is the only way to truly see the amazing detail and remember that kind of beauty.

Now, pick yourself up off the floor, find a reason to make a picture book and head over to their site. Use coupon code FLATRATE

I knew there was a good reason for procrastinating and not making a book from our fantabulous Florida trip yet.

Note: This great price is for the Classic Covers only...but seriously? A 100 page book of memories for $20? SOLD!

Offer expires 10/27/09

More Gift Markets, Festivals and Bizarres

One great thing about living in H'town is there is no shortage of places to go and people to see.

A big thank you to the Houston Chronicle for compiling a gigantic list of Fall Bazaars and Festivals....their words not mine.

Who even uses that word 'bizarre' anymore?

I think my friend's Hubs put it best...Bizarre Festivals.

I think you can agree there is some unique selections of items.

I owe The Chronicle a big smooch because not having to hunt down show locations and carefully select the Northwest choices saved me tons of time ...which is muy importante because I'm in the middle of watching Flash Forward...which is a bizarre festival all its own.


I'm not usually a drama-show kinda girl..I'm the type that reads ahead in books because I often can't stand the tension that has been created.

What a WILD ride that show was. I think I just might be hooked.

Anyhoo...check out the list and let the shopping begin! Fall is here!

Waller County Fair

There is just something about funnel cake and corny dogs with mustard that make driving to Waller not so far...

It's time for the Waller County Fair!

Mark your calendars.... The fair begins with a BBQ cookoff and Volleyball tournament on Friday September 25th and the actual fair begins Saturday September 26th. From the info on the website, it looks like it runs through October 4th.

Each year the Waller County Fair is held late September and usually running through the first part of October. The fair features livestock projects from area youth organizations such as 4H and local FFA classes.

During the fair time you can also enjoy a good old fashion rodeo with both professional and amateur competitors. There is always a good show with plenty of rodeo action.

During the fair they also feature carnival rides and various concessions. You can enjoy exciting rides, good food, and see a selection of crafts from area vendors. Come out and pick up a new hat, saddle, or that perfect western-style decoration for the house. It's all there for your enjoyment.

Finally, what fair would be complete without a dance. Each evening they have live entertainment provided by local and area entertainers with some coming from the renown Austin music scene. In addition, each main weekend they have feature entertainers and a dance in the main pavilion.

Here's the map...make plans to take the entire family down 290 to the Waller County Fair.
