Happy Christmas--- oops I mean Thanksgiving!

Hello dearies!

I can't help but feel bad for Thanksgiving. . . . It seems that we have just skipped over it this year. :( I mean every store I go into was wall to wall Christmas decorations on Nov. 1st! Seriously?! I know that many people go shopping early for presents, but that is no excuse to skip over such a great holiday full of traditions. I personally love the turkey crafts and indian/pilgrim outfits that come along with "Turkey Day".

By this rant, I do not mean to say that I not guilty of this myself, but instead I want to point out how sad it is that Thanksgiving is forgotten.

OK, done with my rant.

Well, I decided to make my crafty blog! It is: http://craftswiththeladyinpink.blogspot.com/

I have not been able to post much yet, but am working on a new one right now :) I hope you enjoy!

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Crafty blog

Hello again!

SOO. . I am totally inspired by my new blog template & am even considering starting another blog. What do you think? I am thinking about naming it "Crafts with the Lady in Pink". In this blog, I will put up pictures of my old and new craft projects (I have tons. It IS my favorite pasttime. . ) & even some tutorials. I would also post links to other great crafty bloggers and answer any questions that come my way.

Should I do it??

Patience

Hello friends!

I know this blog is WAY overdue (my apologies!) But, in my defense, life has changed so drastically since my last post. SOOO. . . here is my life (aka the past 6 months) in 6 points:

1. I LOVED my internship at the American Cancer Society! I learned so many valuable things and now know that I definitely picked the right field of work for me. I was also blessed to meet so many people during that time that have helped me in so many ways. the ladies at the office were so welcoming and helped me with much more than they had to. . (for example: actually doing everything I learned in college)

2. I miss Bowling Green. I moved back to Nashville in August & I love my hometown and being around family and friends, but I was no where near prepared for really leaving college. For 4 years, I built up a life that I basically left cold turkey. no fun :( I know I have a great life ahead of me, but I have never been someone that is good with change & it was ALOT of change all at once.

3. Well, while I do not have a "big girl" job, yet. . . I am still trying. (I blame the economy.) Don't worry, though. I am still VERY hopeful! I know that there is a great job coming up in my future, I just have to be PATIENT & wait for it to come around. (easy enough, right? HA) But, in the meantime, I am working at Barnes & Noble. <-- perfect job for an English nerd like me :)

4. FALL! I. love. Fall. (& everything associated with it!) so, naturally, my mood has brightened lately! Why do I love fall? Let me list the ways: the colors, football games, bonfires, hayrides, pumpkin patch, Homecoming, pumpkin carving, BEST WEATHER EVER, Octobrfest, Halloween, Thanksgiving, SCARFS!!, boots, layers of clothing, & decorating for the season!

5. Okay, soo this has been the year of weddings! I have gone to, been invited to, and been in weddings this year. I feel so lucky to be close to so many wonderful people & be able to share in their special day!

6. Well. . . you guys know I LOVE pictures, so for my last point I am sharing some of my favorites from lately!

This is from the Luminaria service at one of the Relay for Life events during my internnship.

Do you like my pumpkin? I had so much fun carving it. Go Phi Mu!

For Halloween, I helped out with a trunk or treat. This was my car :) {I was a pig, too!}

As you know, I am a crafty person & I saw some ornaments like this on Pinterest. . so of course, I had to make own!

BINGO! I thought Bingo was an easy going game. . WRONG! But it was soo much fun!

Well. . . That's all folks! ha. talk to you soon!
