Journal

I had this feeling that 2013 was going to be a crazy one. I love scrapbooking (I get it from my mom) but I've never been good at journaling. I had everything I needed to make one, except for confidence that I would do it. Except, from reading other bloggers who do it, I learned that I don't have to do it every day, so I just do it on big days. It has been very helpful to get my thoughts down on paper. Since I'm no expert I won't tell you what you need, but I'll tell you something that helped me : have everything in one place, that way you aren't scrambling to find anything. I got the cutest vintage makeup case (at SPCA treasure chest for $4) and that is were all my supplies are. If I need to journal I just grab my case and go.

Do you journal? Or have any tips for a beginner? I'd love to hear, leave your comments below!

Happy Holidays!

Christmas is officially in the air (seriously though, I can smell Christmas tree from outside our house). We had a rocky start when decorating when we realized we didn't have any tree lights, then found some, then found more that were half blown out. I'd like to think I got my mom's way of working things out! 

 Although this is not Boot's blog debut, she deserves more blog time, so here she is being adorbs in her cute new festive collar!

                   

You may not notice, but I was also very crafty with the fact that we had no ornament hanger thingy majigs. So I used bakers twine! (3 crafty points for Sara!)

No holiday would be complete without you and your boyfriend being ridiculously cheesy with your two cats! No fear there will be a much better one in "Winter" attire. (If you didn't know I live in Georgia.. It was 70 degrees today.. needless to say, I don't own winter clothes)
