Almost December! Let the Crafting Begin...

Christmas Time! Love this time of year--the lights, parades, decorations and my sister miserable over the amount of Christmas music on the radio, it really is 'the most wonderful time of the year.' Plus it gives me endless reasons to craft...for my house, the restaurant, my brothers house, random people on the street...you get the point. Saw this wreath and think I have to make one too!

Now if you're anything like me you too have a board on Pinterest dedicated solely to Christmas crafts! Mine started last year and therefore has a decent amount on there....I also promised myself that this year I would start in October to spread out the time and cost...oops. Here are some of my favorites!

 

 

 

 

 

 From the top left: Wreath made from two packs of Dollar Store snowflakes and some ribbon, no-sew burlap Christmas skirt, black and white copies of pics of you and the gift receipiant instead of cards, a yearn wreath and pepermint tray. All of these craft and a ton more are on my Pinterest.

I'll be sure to take lots of pics of these and the other crafts I'm making this week to share!

What a fantastic gameday! My Gators won and I got to spend the day with freinds and family! Plus the weather was gorgeous all day. Couldn't ask for a more perfect Saturday down South.

All in all this was one fantastic November! Now it's time for me to start prepping for December-decorating, baking and gifting!
And I'm already looking for Gift Ideas for family and friends so if you have an amazing idea feel free to comment it!

It's November!

It's finally November-home of my birthday, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, UF vs. FSU and did I mention my BIRTHDAY?!? Which means November needs to be started off right!

Sweater: LL Bean (old) similar-here, Jeans: Forever21 skinnies, and Boots: Sperry Hingham boot-here.




November in Tallahassee is already full of potential for an amazing Southern Fall starting with an event put on by the ever classy gentlemen over at Wm Lamb and Son. This coming Thursday, November 8, 2012 they will be hosting a Duck Call Night.

"We will be doing calling tips, hunting tips, PLUS A BONUS RETREIVER SHOW and just talking ducks in general, bring the kids or just bring yourself .... probably have a cooler of oysters..... Next Thursday 5:30-7:30 at The Barn, 2772 Millstone Plantation Road."

This event is open to the public and promises fun for everyone, I personally can't wait to get out there and see what it's all about! Now I just have to figure out what to wear!

Finally, my amazing friends Meagan and Matt threw me a perfect (early) birthday complete with twinkile lights in the barn, firepit and spiked apple cider-- as soon as I get all the photos together you can expect another post!
