Party, party.

Now that exams are finally done for, (hurrah, hurrah)
I just want to celebrate.
If it wasn't 10 in the morning, I'd be poppin' open a Corona right about now.

Then again, it's 5:00 somewhere, right?

 I guess I'll just hold off the celebratin' 'til tonight and tomorrow night.  Yes, y'all.
I'll be doing just that.
And I sure hope that everyone will be doing this same.
Tis the season.

For those of you preparing for a holiday party, here are some adorable ideas for your lil' get-together.
Thank you, Pinterest.

Peppermint setup

Veggie and cheese tray

Punch in glasses

Chocolate-dipped marshmallows

Reindeer beer

One of my pieces was featured in yet another treasury!
Thought this would be an appropriate time for me to share it with y'all.  It's all Christmas-y!

Everyone have a lovely Saturday!

Last stop before Christmas break.

It's exam week.

(Pray for me?  Thanks.)

If you are or were once a student, I'm sure you can remember those horrible and tiring days of exam week.

Reasons why I hate exam week:

1) The studying, of course.
2) Hibernating in either my apartment or the library, especially when it's sunny outside.  (Such a tease.)
3) I hardly wear any makeup, so I look like $%@! for 7 days.
4) The headaches.  Need I say more?

I'm just waitin' for Friday.  Friday means I'm DONE.  Until then, I'll keep living like a hobbit/cavewoman---except I will continue to shower.  

See, even Ollie is tired of all of my studying. Ha ha.  

Do it yourself.

I am alive.

Figured I'd let everyone know that bit of information.  I mean, shoot---it has almost been an entire month since my last post.  Please forgive me.  Life gets busy, busy, busy; especially during the holidays.  But don't worry about me.  My busy-ness is all fine and dandy because I must say, I have been spendin' my time wisely. 

You know, just spendin' time playing with my kitty and crafting my life away.

Wise, right?

Don't answer that until you see the picture below.



Ollie boy, the Christmas kitty.  Now don't you see why I can't resist?  He's a doll. 

DIY---(Christmas banner over window is made of patterned scrapbook paper, yarn, and a smidge of tape. 
Cheap and easy.)

Decorating the tree

DIY---(Christmas tree sitting on windowsill is made of styrofoam, yarn, buttons, and a mini pot.  Below, I added a picture that gives you a closer look.  I added the buttons for ornaments to give it a much more bright and fun sort of look.)

The holiday spirit is getting even more intense now that we have approached the month of December.  This is a good thing.  Now, maybe Pinterest people will begin to pin even more Christmas thingamahbobs.  Lets hope so, friends.  'Cause I really like to keep my crafty hands busy.
