Sunday Kind of Love

I know it's not the 7th yet...but I'm finished with my presentation that will be given tomorrow and have seriously felt the need to blog! 

It is the most wonderful feeling in the world knowing that I no longer have homework, that I no longer have to feel guilty about being cuddled up on the couch with the computer in my lap and the soft glow of the Christmas tree lighting up the room. I have lots of plans today that I'm excited about:

• Our usual Sunday tradition: grocery shopping {not so fun, but much needed} and Five Guys burgers
• Flipping through cookbooks {I'm determined now that school is over to play with lots of new recipes and I am so ready to do some holiday baking}
• Wrapping presents {I thoroughly enjoy wrapping gifts, choosing from an assortment of paper and lots of fun ribbon}

What are your Sunday plans?

must push through

blogging hiatus until December 7

{i.e. my last day of the MBA program before graduation on the 12th!}

2 presentations and 1 paper left to go...why does it feel like these 2 weeks are the longest of my life!?

must push through...

Things I Am Loving

Love this sweater from Anthropologie - looks so comfy and warm!

The new Vera Bradley pattern, Paprika!  I am totally digging the orange and hint of turquoise. 

I adore this dress by etsy seller Amanda Archer...she has some great dresses and tops:

These giant candleholders from Pottery Barn are to die for!

Ribbons & Rickrack

We had our first Craft Fair on Saturday and it went well! Our little shop is called Ribbons & Rickrack Designs and you can find us here.  The site is definitely still under construction, so bear with me!  Hop on over and maybe you'll find some Christmas gifts or Christmas cards to send out this year!  Would love to hear your thoughts : )

Back to the craft fair...here is the "before" of our booth - lots of boxes!

And the "after":

Sister, Mom, and I

Too Early?

I might have started listening to Christmas music this morning...is that bad?

I love Christmas and look forward to it so much every year!  This morning I just couldn't resist Olivia Olson's amazing voice singing All I Want For Christmas Is You {from the Love Actually soundtrack}. 

I am so ready for cold weather, warm sweaters, and egg nog!  I have been craving some grocery store egg nog for weeks now...let's get to it HEB, it's not too early to start stocking the shelves. 

Anyone else with me!?

Last First Day

Today is my very last "first day of school" and boy, am I excited!  I start my last class tonight with Chelsea, Transformational Leadership.  I'm hoping these next 5 weeks of class just fly by. Cross your fingers for me!

We had a very low key Halloween weekend...mainly spent getting ready for my first craft fair coming up this next weekend. 

My mom and I started a business and will make our big debut on Saturday! Can't even express how excited I am - praying that everything goes well.  Will post later this week all about our little venture and give you a sneak peek at our products!
