Happy Fourth, everyone! I hope that you all have an absolutely wonderful red, white, and blue day with your friends and family. This is one of the greatest days of the year for parades, barbecues, picnics, pool parties, and (of course) fireworks! I painted this frame yesterday when I was crafting with my friend, Rose, and I was feeling particularly patriotic. I love the way it turned out and I thought it was the perfect holder for this happy holiday message!Have a wonderful Independence …

Valentine’s Day
Today is one of the sweetest and most sugar-coated days of the year, Valentine's Day!Valentine's Day is definitely a love/hate holiday for many people. Those of us who are in relationships tend to love it, but are also nervous about what to give to/what we will receive from our significant other. Meanwhile, those of us who are single either choose to go on and on (and on) about how it's actually "singles awareness day" or simply do our best to ignore all the pink and red hearts, lace, and …
What I Received for Christmas
Hello lovely readers!I thought I'd share a few of my favorite Christmas gifts with you today, because I'm still in quite a festive mood. It's possible that some of this lingering holiday feeling has to do with the large number of candy canes and gingerbread lattes I've had recently, but I digress. The single specific thing I asked for this year was a monogram necklace from Personalized from Me to You, which I received from Santa. I also got an adorable bow ring and …
Holiday Traditions
Hello lovelies, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!This year I spent Christmas Eve with my family, our family-friend Mary, my uncle, and one of my best friends & her family.

This year we had a delicious vegetarian lasagna that my mom made, Mary brought lots of sweets including her famous shoe cookies (pictured below,) and Marina's mom brought her …

Christmas Shopping
I can't believe it's almost Christmas!2 MORE DAYS!!!This past week I went to get my hair cut and now it feels so much shorter even though it's still relatively long. We took off approximately three inches, so it's a pretty big change for me even if it's not that noticeable to others. My stylist was really sweet and also took the time to curl my hair after she was done cutting it. It's things like that which cause me to love going to get my hair done!After my appointment, my mom …
Favorite Holiday Ornaments
I can't believe that Christmas is this Tuesday! I'm obviously super excited, but where has the time gone? Finals week has come and gone yet again and my winter break officially started on Friday at 1:00 pm. I think that my finals went pretty well for the most part this year. I did plenty of studying so I could feel fully prepared for each of my tests (notecards became my best friend haha). I'm very anxious to hear back from my teachers as to how I did …
