Christmas Pictures!!

Tonight we had our friends Katy and Ross come over to TRY and take our Christmas picture so we can get those out in the mail this week. I could not believe how ROTTEN our dogs were! Bella was a terror.... Is this how it's going to be once we have kids? Am I going to get stuck with the child who throws a fit all the time?? Lola on the other hand, was a delight! Very well behaved and did exactly what she was asked. 

Here are some of OUTAKES!!! (I am NOT posting the picture we chose though!) :)

Lola was such a good girl!

Me and V :)

Again... And no he wasn't crying (He has horrible allergies!)


Definitely did NOT pick this pose... We look soo awkward!


Well, it's back to work I go tomorrow! But, only 3 WEEKS until I'm on CHRISTMAS BREAK!!!!!!

My first Pinterest craft & ramblings

After talking to my mother-in-law (Check out her blog HERE!) today and seeing her love of crafting, I decided that I was FINALLY going to attempt a craft from Pinterest (One I have been wanting to do for weeks now!)


Here is the original idea:



I knew that I wanted to change it up a bit, so here is my final product!





Please ignore the pencil lines still on the wall! I wish I had a better camera, because I swear it looks better in person! But, I am pretty pleased with it. For my first 'craft', I think it turned out alright!

I started by buying the wood letters and painting the sides black. Then I mod-podged scrapbook paper on the wood (red and cream to match our black/cream damask bedspread and red to match our accent pillows and curtains!) Then I bought flowers and glued them together and glued a diamond jewel in the middle and glued them to the letters. I then glued 4 diamond jewels on the letters themselves.

I am hoping that during Christmas break, I will come home EXTRA crafty after hanging out with my mother-in-law!!!!!! :)


*Other life happenings....


I am on THANKSGIVING BREAK!!! We have 9 DAYS OFF of school!!! I couldn't be happier, I needed a break BADLY!!!!

While sitting at home the other night BORED while V worked, I decided that I was going to dye my hair DARK BROWN. I was getting sick of my blonde hair (although, I was happy that it no longer had highlights in it, so minimal upkeep!) But, I decided to change it up and dye it DAAAARK. I am soo excited to see what my students say on Monday!!!!!


Here is a picture of my hair before (blonde!!!)

A few weeks ago - Me and V at a Halloween party!
This was the most RECENT picture I could find

I'll try and post a better picture tomorrow!
