Merry Christmas!

Etsy Bloggers- Favorite Color Combos

This month's blog carnival is dedicated to our favorite color combinations. I have to say that Eggplant Purple and Sage green are two of my favorite colors. And I plan on using these two colors for my upcoming wedding. The clock is ticking and it is time to get creative!!! Here are a few of my inspiration pictures:Bridesmaid dresses are going to be the purple. The green is going to be the secondary, which is perfect for spring!


Something else that is not shown that I am going to be creating is decorating all of the bridesmaids gifts and groomsmen gift bags with the two colors. I have had the opportunity to do the gift bags for a wedding through my Etsy shop and I thought that it was a nice touch.

If anyone has any suggestions for different ideas for these colors, please let me know, it would be a great help!

Time to get busy!

Oh my...

I had no idea that so much dust accumulated on my little blog. Gees. I have been busy running between Huntsville and Nashville and working with a couple of contractors for a project on the house. Please forgive me for the absence. I will be out again probably until Wednesday afternoon. Guys, I can't tell you how this move has lingered on. I can't wait for it to be over. "Hurry up Wednesday!!"

Anyhoo, I finally got over being sick and got to D1! Oh boy, that was insane, exhausting, invigorating, and puzzling that I have so many muscles. Let me tell you that I waddled around for days!! I went on Tuesday and just yesterday I could confidently say that I was back 100%! Can't wait to go back for more! hehe
Can't tell you the last time that I had to do a full blown pushup! Oh boy...no woman modified pushups allowed. But I surprised myself and knocked it out! So exciting!Well, I promise that I will do my blog rounds as soon as I possibly can. I hope that you all are doing super duper!! Take care!

Project D1

I start a brand new journey tomorrow. It is one that I know is going to change my life, and I'm so excited and scared all at the same time! It is a Boot Camp program that really is meant to kick my butt and get me into tip top shape. D1 is a training facility that is geared to training collegiate athletes and pro-sports players that was started by Will Bartholomew an ex-Broncos player, and is co-owned with Peyton Manning of the Colts and Philip Rivers of the Chargers. (you can click on their logo below for their website)
So why go to this extent? Well, I am one of those people who gets super duper motivated, works like crazy for a few days and then I either get hurt or I fall from exhaustion because I did too much too fast. It has been a very vicious cycle with me. I have never been good about pacing myself or being consistent. So I have joined D1 for help to get me on track so that I can look great in time for the wedding and fingers crossed, wear a two piece (for the first time in my life) on the honeymoon. Gotta wear a two piece if you are in Hawaii, right?? I can't think of anyone better to help me than some big 'ole football players and trainers?! I'm hoping that during this next year, I am set on the right track so that I can break this ugly cycle and start being a consistent "athlete". From there, I would love to get involved in running marathons (1/2 of course) and just being a healthy person.

These next 365 days are going to be crazy, not just for this new change with me but also because of the wedding and the new house. I am a very lucky girl for all of these wonderful things and for this great opportunity. I am treating it like my very own Biggest Loser competition.

Thank you everyone for your kind wishes on the house! You guys are truly awesome, and I absolutely love your support! I will let you guys know tomorrow how my first boot camp session went, but I am preparing to be one very sore puppy this week!

Hope you all had a great Halloween!

Any Interest?

I have an idea that I have been thinking about, and I am writing you guys to see if you have any interest in this. I have another blog, "that Kitty mama" and I was thinking about doing a sort of Furry Show and Tell. You guys have shown a lot of love when I have posted about my feline family so I would like to extend that to all of your furry family members.

I have an email link on that blog where you can submit your stories and pictures. I haven't seen anything like this and thought it would be fun to build a collection of our adorable pets!

Any interest in sharing your furry friends?? Please feel free to stop by!

Oh so, so close!

I'm getting so itchy! Not literally, but man I so cannot wait until I can say that don't live in an apartment anymore! lol We are oh so close. Here are pictures of the interior so you can see what we did.
I have an extreme aversion for beige, so we went blue.
We tore out the carpet and put in hardwood.
In the kitchen we put in granite counters, a backsplash, and a ceramic tile floor.
It is going to be so awesome to have actual cabinet space!

So that is the update on the interior! YAY! The rest of the house is pretty standard. Is it Friday yet?

Blog Carnival- Etsy Bloggers

For this month's Carnival, we were asked to talk about how we were going to be celebrating Halloween. Well, as much as I love the spider webs, pumpkins and super fun decor, there won't be much of that this year. Wait! Hold on...there is going to be a lot of excitement had by all! (well, us really) ;-)

The day has finally come and we will be closing on our first house next Friday! I know that I haven't posted much on the house lately, but I do have some photos that I will be posting for you this weekend. I promise. There were lots of interior changes that we made and they are finally done with all of them. It is beautiful! And we are so incredibly pumped!And not to completely disregard the holiday, I'm hoping that we will be able to put up a few pumpkins. Fingers crossed...
I do have a bit of Halloween fun in my Etsy shop. It is a set of three black gift bags that are accented with glitter embellishments and ribbon. Perfect for those treat bags!


I hope that everyone has a Spook-tastic Halloween! I know I will!
