OYE!

Do I know what Oye means?? HECK NO!! But I'm just gonna take a minute and talk about the things I've been lovin lately, and the first is OYE!!



Thank YOU ward Zumba for introducing this BEAUTY. I listen to it while I study, and often catch myself movin in my seat JUST a little...

The next thing I'm obsessed with lately is BREAKING DAWN. I know, I know, Twilight is so cheesey, and the honeymoon scenes were a little too steamy and gosh, it was BORING... but I liked it. I've seen it three times, thank you. Twice in one day.  and THANK YOU Twilight for bringing this little number into my life. This is on repeat in my room today. Love.



I'm loving the braid. So easy to throw it backk.
 COUNTRY STRONG!! this is up there with Twilight lately.  I was sick last weekend with the flu and this saved me.  I watched it three times.
 OMLETS!! I finally bought a frying pan and learned how to cook these suckers... WHEW. Eat them every other day at least. I'll be working at the Hyatt in no time. That's how good these babies are.
 FAMILY TIME. Love my Niece and Nephews. TO DEATH. Drew has been into "Andews" these days. I'm loving that.

 Missing this little lady, but still loving her, you know?? 
Thank goodness for Skype, eh??
 So grateful for this guy.  Keepin it fresh over here at Conto Road. Seriously, a great friend right there.  We've been having some killer hot chocolate weeknights. Get together, drink hot chocolate with marshmallows, and "Talk about our days, you know?"
 My new instagram app, slash instagram in general. Havin so much fun with this. Hilarious! haha
 My new Christmas banner I made in my family room. Makes my day everytime I walk inside.
 Watchin my little guy. He came over to my apartment today and we had a blast together as always.
 CHRISTMAS TREATS!! Yum. Made great use out of these.  I've been usin all the things I already have and it's great.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
I finally finished my family's Christmas card... Voila!

A worthy report

HEYO! Okay, so Thanksgiving rules. Thanksgiving BREAK rules.  I've been so busy doing so many fun things! I always say I don't love Thanksgiving because I feel like I'm just bored. Not this year, no way, uh uh. I promised myself to keep busy every waking moment. SO, I planned some craft times, and my family did a bunch of stuff together which I LOVED.  I'm blessed to live so close to all of my brothers still, and hang out with them every Sunday for a couple of hours, but it was nice to spend an entire 4 days just hanging out and doing fun stuff with everyone. I loved.  Okay, so I started making this quilt in August, but then school started and I'd just had it with cutting and sewing and cutting and CUTTING, so I stopped working.  But I finished over the break, and I love it.  I'm so proud of my first quilt. I'm like a small child.  Anyway, I just wanted to post about my lovely quilt and Thanksgiving break and how splendid it was. Back to the grind on Monday. FML.


Tying it was rough, cause we had two little rascals running around trying to step on it, and hide under it, and crawl around it, and throw cars on it.... we eventually got her done when we moved up into my mom's bedroom and locked the door... Thank you to my mom and Andi for the help on this beast.


Extra fabrique for some ninja time? Yes.


Hailey joined me. HIEEE-YA!
(Don't know what's up with Hailey's eye there in the left shot...woops)


 And THIS is my pinterest wreath. Isn't it just lovely? I had so much fun making it. One of the more FUN crafts I've ever done, actually.  And I have one more thing that I made that I just love love, but I haven't hung it up at my apartment yet, so no pictures.  But they will come when I get them.


Happy Holidays everyone.  I can tell already this Christmas is going to be one of my best.  It's been one of the seriously best years of my life, 2011.  I can't wait to see what 2012 brings.

Love.
