Drinking it up

Too bad today is a work day, I’ll have to celebrate tonight.  How are you going to celebrate?

 

*Please note:  These pics were not taken today and I would never drink on my lunch break.

To do list

Here are a couple of things I have been working on lately:

The Dazzle sketchbook is one of my favorites.

 

Hand Stamped Bike Dividers

I love the hand stamped bike dividers.

 

Yellow Wallpaper Notebook

This notebook is covered with wallpaper!

 

Hand Stamped Woodgrain Dividers

 

I added calendars to way more notebooks for this festival.

 

Perry Mason Front

Let me know what you think!

This past Friday, The Reflector (Mississippi State’s student newspaper) did an article on me and my blog!  I am so excited and honored that they chose to write about me!  Read the article here.  And to make matters even better, they also wrote an article about my husband’s band, Poacher which was in the same issue.  Friday was a good day all around.  Read the article  about Poacher here.

New Year's Resolutions

  1. Go to bed by 11 pm on weeknights.  I always stay up later than I should which makes being at work at 8 am much harder.
  2. Take off my makeup before bed.  Occasionally I will fall asleep with my make up on and hate myself the next morning.
  3. Drink 2 glasses of water a day.  I know it should be more but I am trying to set goals I can actually meet.
  4. Get in shape! This should be easier since my wonderful husband bought me a bike for Christmas!
  5. Update my Etsy store and add vintage items.
  6. Start my Happiness Project.
  7. Floss more!

I have been so busy trying to finish making Christmas presents and finish decorating my house this week.  My craft room has seen better days, but who cares?  It is Christmas after all.   I will be sharing some of the things I have been working on soon.  I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season!

Cheers
