I would like to go on the record saying that I have borderline the best boyfriend ever. He searched high and low to find a holga lens that would fit my camera! What he didn't know was it also came with a pinhole lens! It was one of the most thoughtful gift ever AND it takes awesome pictures! Here is just a sneak peak of some of the pictures we took!

I wish you all a Merry Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate! I hope you had a lovely day and spent your time with the people you love the most! I got some pretty sweet Christmas gifts and I'm sure you will get to see them soon! So what did you get for Christmas? Anything awesome?!

(Taken Thanksgiving day)
My life has been a blur since the last time I have posted. Full of class work, writing stories, a terrible partner that did nothing, aggravation, anguish, and grief. I'm so glad that I only have two finals left. Today at 2:45 and Monday at 1:45. This semester was by far the hardest semester ever and I had to be on my A-game. I don't start next semester until January 17th ish and I so need this break. Hopefully I can make a post a day, or at least 3 a week, until I start school. I feel like i have so much to expand on!
Hope everyone is having a perfect holiday season! I just finished Christmas shopping yesterday except for the liquor store!

Well, Strumpet is having a new swap, a Valentines Day swap! But here I am at last blogging about the ornaments I received.

My package came all the way from Mexico and i was so excited to get it! My partner, Sara, Sent me treats, a ring, and two ornaments! I was so elated when i got the package that i ripped it open! Now i can't wait till next Christmas so i can display them!

The first ornament I opened was this one. It's so simple but so complex. I love how cute it is!




I love this one so so much. Green is one of my favorite colors and i think it was embroidered perfectly. It is one of my most favorite hand-made gifts I've ever received!

I went to get my oil changed on Monday after a little fiasco involving a lost oil cap and oil all over. Well while I was waiting to get my car back I stopped over at the thrift store. I found the most amazing cups I have ever seen in my life and for only 50 cents each they were such a steal! I scooped them up even though one of them is missing (there is supposed to be 12)

Oh how I wish they had the twelfth day. I bought all of these cups for a whopping $5.50. I’m so glad I had to get an oil change!

The day after Christmas there was a huge snow storm and I had to venture out to work. Well after I got to work they sent me home after like an hour. So I stopped at the craft store and picked up some yarn, I knew it was going to be a long next 24 hours! Here are some pictures from the storm about two weeks ago!





A lot of tea drinking went on during this storm! I hope anyone who endured this storm along with me stayed safe!

Remember this post oh so long ago about a mystery ornament i was making? Well I finially decided to take pictures of them and by them I mean the one I put on our christmas tree. The other ones were either sold or are buried some where in my room! Also, I know its a new year but I still have some Christmas stuff left, I just received my ornament from Strumpet's Ornament Swap, so I will be posting that soon and I also had the best find EVER at the thrift story today (Christmas related). Hopefully by the end of this week I will be totally done with Christmas related posts!

This year we started a new tradition at my house, Gingerbread wars. Every year on Christmas Eve we have a party where all of our friends and family who are free come over and party hard. Well this year we had a challenge to see who would have to clean up the mess after the party. This is now our new family tradition! Although we didn’t have papers so people could vote we all know who the winning house was, me & Eddy’s house!

We used regular icing out of a can (like Betty Crocker) lesson learned. Next year we invest in a icing that hardens right away!

Deep in thought processes ;)


Eddy hard at work!

Pretty good for amateurs!

Now you tell me who you think the winners were;

I know who really won!!

So Aunt peg has the cutest house. Its so family oriented and i really wish i could of gotten more pictures of what she had going on around her house. She has chalkboard glasses that you can write your name or a message on. Often times she said she see's her kids glasses lying around with "Just Water" or "There's nothing else to drink but water" written on their glasses. they leave messages to each others on the glasses. To bad i forgot to take a picture of them, however she did get them at pottery barn!

This was her tree and the santas in the window were such a wonderful touch.

These little santas and a bowl of acorns were so adorable. She had her record player and records right under this table, it was a lovely set up.

The gingerbread house her and her grandchildren made together complete with the abominable snowman!

This is my neice Juliana, They all call her Ju, She is the ornery little girl i ever met, but when you get to know her she is FANTASTIC!

and this is what we taught her to do, make moose ears. From left to right is my stepsister Jen, Ju, and my mama.

Remember a few posts back when I told you I had never seen a bigger tree than Laurens (except Eddy's)? Well here is Eddys Christmas tree. Christmas morning i open presents with my family and than go over to his house to open gifts and watch them open gifts. This is his Christmas tree!

(taken from my phone sorry it's not that great.)

The Day After Christmas

This is what it looked like while driving home from work last night. We were hit with an almost blizzard and got about a foot or more of snow. With winds up to 45 mph there was no way I was going outside! So I have been stuck inside all day! Pictures of the snow to come I'm sure. I watched a lot of movies, drank a lot of wine, and crocheted! Were you snowed in yesterday or today?

I went over my friend Laurens house the other day and we made some delectable cookies. Okay, we went shopping and came home to premade cookies (she made earlier in the week) and decorated them. I had no help in making the cookies just the decorating and boy some of them came out so pretty! (others not so much!)

Lauren has the biggest Christmas tree i have ever seen, until I got to Eddy's house. It puts out little 5 and a half foot tree to shame but thats okay. I was in aww of this gorgeous tree.

Her step-dad is an avid hunter and her brother, Kyle, thought the deer should be festive too. I think he did a wonderful job!

This is Lauren, she gets that crazed look in her eyes when there is tons of sugar around.

Here are a few pictures of the cookies I decorated. I was to busy getting my hands dirty that I had no time for more pictures!

This was my prized cookie. It would of won a gold metal.

I'm so sad that Christmas is over. I feel like i spent so much time preparing for it and not enough time enjoying it. I hope everyones Christmas was more than lovely.
