Happy Wednesday! Do you like the new background? No red or green. I love.

Almost time
Almost December - woot woot! (my trademark.) In my brain it's already December. The calender is being a little slow - I'm waiting for it to catch up.
Now, with Christmas coming, everyone is getting in their Red and green mode. I refuse to be drawn in! I personally despise Red, green and gold Christmas stuff. Why does Christmas have to be limited to those boring colors, I ask. If you have a out of this world reason, tell me. If not, no green here and red is going on a serious diet. I'm okay with red most times. But not always.
This is so cute. Please notice that there is a way to convey Christmas without smothering everything in Red and Green. I strive for pink perfection this year.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You all should be pretty confused by this thing here...
But I will reveal soon! I love it. It's Christmasy, and pink. Keep guessing, you'll stumble on the answer sooner or later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ugh, I really want this. Give me liberty...or lip gloss.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My friend sent me this. I really wish I was cool enough to come up with something like this by myself.
"I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing.
I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick.
I believe in pink. I believe that loving is the best calorie burner.
I believe in kissing. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.
I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."~Audrey Hepburn
Although, I probably wouldn't have said it as well as Audrey. I agree %100.

Haul me off to jail....
I've trespassed. Yes sir, I did. Maybe If I were a smart criminal, I'd refrain from posting about it on my blog. But it makes a great Newvember (#26), so you get to hear all about it.
For my birthday, dad got me a new tennis racket (First person to guess what color it is might win a prize!) and so we went off to play. Unfortunately we could only find three balls and unfortunately I am a very enthusiastic tennis player.
So being my uber enthusiastic self, I hit the ball over the 13 foot high fence. And into a restricted area.
So I climbed the fence into the restricted city property, going right past all the NO TRESPASSING signs. I rescued 10 balls from their dirty, sandy grave. I was a hero. So I guess we can say that someone who trespasses is a hero?
In this case, you bet!

New Perspective
Same thing, but does this help?
Okay, probably not. But here's a hint: think Christmas.
Wouldn't it be nice?
Wouldn't it be nice if I had a lifetime supply of lip gloss?
Or lotion? Or Hand Sanitizer? Or body butter and perfume and shower gel?
You bet it would!
There is a box in our living room for me. It's big enough. And it's bulging. And it's from Bath and Body works. Sadly, I have to wait until my birthday to open it. But it gives me a lot of time to guess about what's in it. To shake it and smell it and speculate.
And...its BIRTHDAY WEEK! Three cheers for our family's awesome tradition. You are so envious. I know it.

Number 4
#4: Cranberry CiderThis probably would be considered more of a "Thanksgiving" candle, only because cranberries associate more with Thanksgiving than any other holiday. But limiting this candle to one holiday is pretty bad, because it smells so good! I really don't care for cranberries, especially fresh ones, but this makes them seem so wonderful and luscious.
I love this candle. And yes, I say that every time.
Happy Saturday peoples!
PS: And a little note of advice...cover your ears if you hear Justin Beiber's Christmas music.
Christmas Kick-off
Well folks, we've got one month to go until Christmas! I am so excited. Now, we can all officially listen to Christmas music and not overlook an important holiday.
And as you all know, its Black Friday. Probably the most awesomest shopping day of the year. If I do say so, I am quite good at Black Friday shopping because I am a bossy little cow. I weasel my way through the masses of people to find my prized item. And I scored a massage while we were waiting in line at Macy's. Seriously! Mother and I made about 14 dozen trips to the car and back. And all we got was pots and pans!
But shopping is so much fun. I just love it.
I am conducting a poll. Do you like eggnog? Please comment your answer. I think the results will be very interesting!

Unique talent discoverd!
I wasn't planning on celebrating today, I don't really have any unique talents. Well, I can talk a lot faster than most people, but I'm not really sure if that falls into the talent category. I can't wink. Rolling my tongue is not an option. I can't move my fingers in weird ways.
BUT! today I discovered I can balance a spoon on my nose! Is that unique or what?!?!?! Maybe every one else thinks that is so old, but it's totally new to me so I am a huge fan. Dad was trying to have a serious Thanksgiving conversation, and there I am balancing my spoon on my nose.
Seriously Awesome.
So that is my latest and greatest new talent and also Newvember #24. And by the way, we are not very formal around this joint. I was in my pajamas when we had our feast. That's how I like things.
Sincerely,
Rockin' the silver spoon.
PS: Brooke can rock the silver spoon too!
Sneek Peek
Accessory Color:
This is the color pallet for my Christmas outfit. It's going to be so cute! I'm going to try gold accessories this time...I'm usually not one for gold, but I think it will go really well with the outfit.
Are you planning your Christmas outfit yet, Or am I the only one? I sort of like to plan ahead. I'm already planning how I'll decorate my hallways when I get to be a cool adult and own a house.
I've got so many reasons to be thankful
10 Things I am thankful for:- That I am a daughter of the king
- Warm weather
- Fabric Flowers
- a fantastic family
- a cute/bedraggled puppy
- Laughter
- Eggnog
- Pumpkin pie
- Good Friends
- God's amazing and never ending love
Happy Thanksgiving girlies! Have a wonderful day!
Hippie Haven
If my hippie museum were real, hippies would be flocking to it.
They’d to anything to get a tour of the Hippie Van garden....
Or a chance to splash around in the Polka Dot Pond.
Well, its official. I'd be out of business in 3 hours.

Floral Flowers : DIY
Now, you get to learn how to make these cuties! Wouldn't they be so adorable on a headband, or hanging like a flower mobile? You can pretty much do anything with these, so lets get started.
You need 5 petals....
And needle and thread.Thread your needle and stitch across the flower...
(Clearly, I am in serious need of a manicure. Sorry girls.)So it looks like this....
And then do it again...
And you should have this! Now pull the thread and it will gather nicely. Wrap the leftover thread around several times and the knot it.
(like this.)
And there you have it! These are easy, but take a little bit of time. But the result is so worth it!
Here are some ones I made with scraps from my quilt.
And is a cute little pillow I made for my room. I am thinking of adding more flowers, they are just too cute!There's the template for the flower. Print it out and you will be good to go!
Hope you enjoy this little project - let me know if you make any and how they turn out.I loved sharing this with you. I really, really did.
Happy little day
Today was just one of those days. You know, when life goes well and you are happy. I am generally a happy person, but sometimes I'm just about the crabbiest person ever.
However that was not the case today! And here is why:
It just keeps getting better and better.
Yep, it was a good day.
However that was not the case today! And here is why:
- I made the cutest crafts. Crafts make me so happy. I am waiting until December to share them with you....uh which is only like 7 days away!
- I slept in until 10:00 (applause!)
- I killed a bug. I don't like death, but I am totally fine with sending bugs to their watery, bleach filled grave.
- I wrote a bunch of letters. I love writing letters. A whole, whole lot.
- I started listening to Christmas Music.
- I am planning my Christmas outfit. It is going to be so cute! It will stay 100% top secret until the big reveal!
- Daddy got back from his trip, and I am so thankful we in here in the warm weather this winter.
It just keeps getting better and better.
Yep, it was a good day.
Floral Flowers
Apparently, I make floral flowers!
Isn't this just the cutest? Even the pink thread that is not supposed to show is cute!
I'll show you how to make these later.

It just so happens....
...That a butterfly came into our porch.
It just so happens that it was a beautiful butterfly.
And it just so happens that it is Beautiful Day.
It really was a beautiful day today.

Thrice as nice
Yay! You are excited. You can't wait to find out what the next smell of the season is....right?!?!
So, lets get on with it.
Hot Buttered Rum.This just plain smells like Thanksgiving. Sort of like a pumpkin pie. Sort of like Rum cake. It is 100% fantastic and wonderful.
It also soothes people who don't care if public hallways have to equal 8' on a 1/8 scale and and people who wish they had all the items they need for a project.
Yep. It's been proven.
Highs and Lows
There are few highs and lows to having an early December Birthday. I know you June people wouldn't understand, so here is a list. Fact: Lists make life better.
Highs:
Highs:
- December is the most exciting month ever.
- You get to make your list earlier than everyone else.
- December is practically the stuff month.
Lows:
- Birthday and Christmas money must last you...ALL year. (Scary thought for a shopper.)
- The other 11 months are non celebration months.
- You can't get stuff from Vera Bradly's spring line.
And so which outweighs the other?
I say the its the highs for sure.....that is, until June.
I weighed my purse
I think we should have a "guess how much my purse weighs contest"! Wouldn't that be so great? But since there are only about 10 people who read this blog, the contest would be kind of lame.
So! I just might as well tell you the whole story.
Yesterday, or whatever day Thursday was, I was at Publix. Now, everyone knows that Publix has large scales in the entryway . Personally, I think it is a bad idea for Publix. Because if everyone who came in weighed themselves, they'd probably come out with a lot less food.
But anyway, I weighed myself. I was kind of like "Huh??" and then I got of. But then! The light bulb went off. How about getting on without my purse? It was a great moment for all mankind. And you know what, my purse weighs 5 stinkin' pounds!
The moral of the story is you should always, always, take off your purse when you weigh yourself in the middle of the entry way at Publix.
End of story.
Newvember #18: My purse needs to diet.
Just a little post....
- I am working on two really cute little crafts that I will share. They involve flowers. I am noticing I really like flowers. My room is filled with flowers.
- I am going to start collecting piggy banks. They have the cutest ones at Target (hint!)
- My purse might just start dieting. More on that later.
- One item was checked off my winter wardrobe list : Mustard Tights.
So that's that. Happy Saturday!
It aint easy
Being a ballerina always sounded so magical to me when I was a little girl.
And maybe when I was 11.
But anyway...ballerina's are graceful and cute and they have pink tutu's which is pretty awesome. And pink shoes that clank of the floor. And pink tights! They love pink just as much as I do.
Today I watched a video of my old ballet performance. Ahem.
I don't think I'll ever be a prima ballerina. Being graceful is absolutely not in my bones. The whole thing was pretty hilarious. None of us could really dance. We just sort of waved our arms around in different ways and moved our legs.
But we all had pink shoes and pink tights so it was still fairly awesome.
Newvember #15 Ballerinaisum is for the pro's.

Voluntary Vacuuming.
I volunteered to vacuum. And you thought you'd never see the day! Ha!
I have previously hated vacuuming. The whole idea of lugging it out, plugging it in, dragging it across the room, was very unpleasing to me.
BUT! We got a new vacuum. My feelings have changed most dramatically. Lugging it out is no more. Goodness gravy, that thing has wheels! Plugging it is, it seems so easy now. And the dragging, gone! We waltz around the room. I am serious, I can't even get the vacuum to stop moving. It just loves vacuuming.
Now I'm talking about our vacuum like he's a person and he's a he.
I think I'll name him. I like Geronimo.
So the whole point is, I volunteered to vacuum. And I named our vacuum Geronimo.

Girly stuff
I love being a girl. I love girly things. I love girls. I am one 100% girly.
And I absolutely love it that way.
Today I made bread. That's pretty girly right? I think so.
BUT...maybe its not girly enough.
So I made braided bread. That is super super super girly.
Loving the blue tint guys....I mean girls.
The end result - a perfect girls day celebration!
Okay, so maybe that wasn't the best celebration ever...
But then again, it totally was.
Happy girls day!
Sincerely,
Queen of all things girly.

The last week!
Yes! Another instalment in my online architecture course. I will be rid of my "peace bus" projects in a week. I am thrilled.
If you don't like that, you may as well leave. I personally am in love with all the retro people. I think this is a great ending to my wonderful architecture design.

Camping, Beans and other matters
I got in a bunch of Newvember stuff this weekend. I went camping with Emily! Camping is a relative term, we camped in Emily's bedroom. And I'm totally okay with that.
Newvember # 11. Sleep with the window open.
When we we were at the campsite, everyone was saying how wise and smart we were because we were not staying outside in the freezing weather.
BUT! During the night, Emily and I were absolutely frozen. When we woke up, we realized the window had been open all night. We were not so wise after all.
Serious smudge on my camera lens.
The cheese it tree!
Newvember # 12: Embrace my inner bean.
All the Pipa's had to do a skit on the three sisters. The sisters are corn, beans and squash. I was the bean. I had to intertwine myself around another poor girl. I thought it was wonderful.
She didn't.
But I embraced my inner bean. And that's #12
We are kind of awesome.
Fashion rule: never do khaki and ugg boots.
Newvember # 13 NAP!
I was so sleepy from all my fun this weekend. Today I went up to study Greek. And took a really immense nap instead. I'm usually not one for naps, but today it was terrific! And getting out of Greek, at least for the time being, its really terrific.

The Second Sniff
The second smell of the season is....
Winter Candy Apple.
I love this! Of course, I'm not really sure if there is one I don't love.....
Probably not. Anyway, it smells fantastic.
(Just don't ask Christian about this, because as far as he's concerned, my hand sanitizer smells like a dead body.)

Punk in Pencil
My wonderful friend Kelaiah offered to do a drawing for me a few months ago. I sent her a picture of Sophie, and the result was terrific!
See what I mean? I told Kelaiah that when I write a children's book I will have her illustrate it. I think she'd be pretty good.

Bold cooking
I like cooking alot. Maybe because I like eating alot too. Anyway! We had a another Sweet Genius battle. I always make bold food. Last time I made a chocolate chili sauce. This week, it was a spicy brown butter. It tasted like gingerbread, and it was bold.
Then I hit myself in the face with a broom handle! It was a most exciting day.
Sincerely,
I have it on video

The Weekly Post
Yes, It's already week 8. I know you have been eagerly waiting for this week's design!
Well, there is it.
I love this one! (I think I say that every time, but this time I really mean it!) The font is amazing, first of all. And then I adore all the colors in clip art.
I already designed week 9 because I'm having so much fun designing. It is the cutest one yet. But you'll have to be patient!
