I love black and gold together so I plan on getiting lots of use out of my new washer necklace and wrap bracelet.  :)

::Recipes::
Along with crafts, we try to make new recipes from Pinterest to bring to our parties.
We had some amazing food this time around.
I made little bite-size S'mores that were delicious.

We also had...

Talk about a yummy spread!!

::Relay for Life::

Our Relay for Life event was Friday night.  It was so rewarding seeing all of our hard work come together.  My team had a pretty good turnout and we raised a lot of money.  We had pizza and balloons donated to sell and I had also had T-shirts made.  My sister and I did face painting and we also had cornhole.  Our community raised close to $30,000.

This was a cause near and dear to my particular school because we have had a couple of teachers with cancer this school year and we also have a third grader that had cancer this year.

It was really amazing what this little girl's classmates raised in honor or her.

::School::

I cannot believe that there are only 4 more Monday's of school before summer break.

May will be a busy, busy month.  There is something going on every weekend, including tons of IEP meetins and transition meetings.  I think I can, I think I can.

::Books::

I finished the first 50 Shades of Grey...OMG so good!

Someone instagramed this picture the other day saying that he would make a good Christian Grey and OMG I couldn't agree more.

I started 50 Shades Darker Saturday night.

To come...

50 Shades Freed

The Fame Game

Insurgent

There are so many great books out right now!!

Speaking of, I am going to get in bed and read right now.

Happy Monday lovelies!

{Craft Party}

Friday night was another successful craft party.

I'm loving my map frame that I did.  

I chose 12 places that I've been, I will make another when I have 12 new places to add.
I realized that I forgot about Indianapolis, Stanford CT, Myrtle Beach, and probably a few more so maybe I'll have 12 more to add sooner rather than later.

{Fishtail}

I def rocked a fishtail braid this weekend. I wore it to my niece's birthday party.

My nephew loved that it was called a fishtail. Haha

I'm always looking for easy fixes. 

My hair is soo long so somtimes I just need a break from straightening/curling.

{Brooklyn Bridge}

My sister and I started and finished this puzzle yesterday.

I can't wait to frame it.

It's even cooler to me since I've actually been there!

{Birthdays} 

Unfortunately, I couldn't get this to upload right side up.

I wanted to share a pic of her at her birthday party.

She really is a precious little angel.

Love her!!

Little Colin also turned 6 months.  Happy 1/2 birthday boo!

These are his lover boy eyes.

Any time that I talk to him, he gets all bashful.

Cutest thing ever.

Happy mingling lovies!

Have a terrific Monday!

This weekend I did 4 things...none of which was go to the beach.

More on that later.

{Princess Party}

Addison turned 3 this weekend.

She wasn't feeling so good, but she made such a pretty princess!

I only got one pic of us and she was blinking, but she is too stinkin' cute!

 {Christmas Decor/Crafts}My sister and I had a weekend full of crafting.Christmas tree for the front door.

I bought these cute little case fillers and put them on my desk in my bedroom.

I spray painted some pine cones red and green for this vase on the mantel above the fireplace.

I love how they turned out, but it is really hard to see in the picture.

I LOVE THIS.We painted wooden letters, made these ornaments, and hung them from the ceiling between the kitchen and the living room.FYI.  Great idea if you want to make ornaments with glitter.Buy the clear ornmanents.Pour Pledge Wood Floor Finish (nothing else works that I know of)  into the ornament and swirl it over the entire inside.Pour out excess.Pour glitter in (whatever color you desire).Cover hole and shake it all around.Pour out excessThe finished product is a very glittery ornament that won't lose the glitter over time.(Because the glitter is inside)

Candy Cane wreath...still in the works.

We spent the majority of the day yesterday making these...

Our tree skirts.  I love them!!

And last, but def not least, we now have lights outside.  Thanks to my brother-in-law.

{Coral}

I dropped Coral off at the vet on Friday to be spayed.  They had to keep her overnight.

I almost cried when I dropped her off.

I was soooo excited to pick her up on Saturday.

Riding in the car...

The vet said to try to keep her calm, but that def hasn't happened.

She hasn't slowed down at all.

{Christmas Cards}

I went to the dam in my town to get family portraits made.  By family portraits, I mean pics of me and Coral for my Christmas card.  I designed my card last night and hopefully will order them once I get the rest of my addresses entered.  I like to do it the lazy way and have them sent straight to their recepient.

I saw this great idea of sending Christmas cards to blog friends.  If any of you would like to receive my Christmas card, leave your info in a comment or email it to me.

I would love to send you one.

Moving on to link up #2 with Neely and Amber!

Today's topic is Christmas treat/dessert.

Peanut butter cake is my favorite dessert ever.

But because I am typing this post at 11 PM, I am not going to post the recipe.

If you are interested, email me and I will give it to you.

 Also, I love Rice Krispy Treats anytime!!

Happy Monday lovelies!
