Good grief, where has the week gone?! I swear, last time I checked it was only Wednesday!! Anyway, it's Friday! Yay! Time for more pictures! :) This is Dixie, my brother & sis-in-law's cat. Apparently, she was tired? This is my nephew, Baxter. Ain't he a cutie? :) My Florida book came! (And so did my brother's weird screaming monkey thing.) My favorite ornament from our tree. XD This was SO much fun! (More to come on this soon, I hope!) Sock monkey hat! Hello Kitty hat in progress. So, I wrapped a few presents...and this isn't even all of them. I had to stop because I ran out of bags. Hehe! Pepper has grown fond of hiding cookies in my bed. This was the most recent occurrence. Crazy dog. Monkey parts!  Wellll, that looks like all of them for this week! I have a backlog of photos and such I need to post, but it just didn't happen this week. Hopefully next week!  Until ...

Peanuts Nativity , a photo by Smree on Flickr.

We decorated our office last week! I love decorating the office. I have no clue why, but I just think its fun. Most of our decorations are, for lack of a better term, cheap. I think the most we’ve paid for anything has been maybe $3. It all works, though and looks fabulous (or at least I think so.) Want to see? Of course you do! :) This little Nativity is adorable, right? I picked it up for $1 at Dollar General. I found this at the Dollar Tree to replace our ugly wreath/spray/thing that was beyond repair. I like how it matches the colors on our sign. It’s also not overly flashy, which is nice too. And then: the tree! New ribbon! Last year our poor tree had two different ribbons on it. It turned out looking cute, but I really wanted to do something different this year. Mis-matched just wouldn’t cut it. Plus, it matched the other tree trimming items we had. Tree trimming = done. XD (I actually was starting to put the ribbon on and got distracted. Oops.) Th...

I don't know about you, but I love Instagram Fridays. (which is why I post them here, hehe) I think it stems from my massive love for Instagram. Makes sense, right? It's actually one of the first apps I downloaded onto my new Samsung Galaxy player. XD Anyway, enough of that. Let's get on with it, shall we? "Oh crystal tree, oh crystal tree, your branches look like broccoli.." Selfie using the Galaxy player (which replaced my iPod. Yay Android!) Pepper the incredible snoring dog. Yarn explosion! Wheee! Dollar Tree decor at the office. :) Don't think this is right...hehehe! Newly completed owl hat! Annnnd that's a wrap! Hopefully good things to come next week. Lots of ideas :D Happy Friday!!

I am super, super late on the bandwagon, but... Do you realize how awesome Shutterfly is?! I've heard good things about it, the products and whatnot, but I hadn't really played with it much until recently. When I bought my newest computer at Best Buy, I got a code for a free 8x8 hardcover photo book. I had absolutely no idea what to do with it, so I almost let it expire. (I know, I know.) Well, I got an email reminder about it, and decided to use some of my photos from my epic Florida adventure earlier this year to make a book. And you guys, it is AWESOME. I had SO much fun choosing the photos, picking the layouts, arranging everything just so. I even have a nifty photo-book preview to share with you!  It'll be at the bottom of the post, as it's making my formatting wonky. Anyway, the book is gorgeous, and ended up costing me around $8 for shipping. Not bad at all. I have another code I'm planning to use for a Christmas gift, I think. I can't w...

Happy Friday! Did you all have a lovely Thanksgiving?? I hope so! I definitely did.  Hopefully, you have all survived Black Friday as well. I ventured out about noon-ish, and it was insane enough for me. Anyway, its once again time for the Instagram round up! :) Delicious cheesy goodness. A new (to me) pattern for owl hats! A Pinterest idea in the making... And the completed ornament wreath! This is such a wonky picture, haha! Happy Happy Thanksgiving! :) These were labels for some little gifts I took my grandparents on Thanksgiving day. Pepper missed me a lot on Thanksgiving, apparently. Daisy is not amused. ("I am not amused." - bonus points if you get that reference!!) And that's a wrap! Until next time! :)
