You better watch out! Christmas is only a 3 weeks away! Are you ready!? I am ready for a break from preschoolers and to just be able to relax at home. This time of year at school is just so crazy!! The children’s heads are filled with Santa, Elves, presents, parties and not school!! It’s fun to see the season and excitement through their eyes.

One project I worked on last weekend was making some stockings for our furry friends. All we had were some cheap ones in red and green. They so didn’t go with my Rustic Glam decor!! 🙂 I bought some sweaters at a thrift store in colors or designs that I liked. I turned them inside out and traced one of the old stockings with a pen. Then I sewed around the stitching, except for the top opening. After it was sewed, I cut it out. I sewed it first so it wouldn’t fray. I used some of the trim from the sweater to decorate the stocking, such as buttons and pockets. I love how they look! I will add a monogram as soon as we can decide who gets which one!

This tree is in my dining room. It’s hard to see, but it is decorated with Shiny Brite ornaments and the colors start with silver at the top, down to gold, and then to turquoise. I love it! I keep finding these ornaments at the thrift stores and I snatch them up. I have found a bunch of pink ones for Lauren too.

Here is my new addition to my fireplace! Oohh! I am so excited to curl up by the fire!

Have a wonderful weekend! See you on Monday!

Hello and welcome to another edition of the Corner News. I hope that all of you had a great Thanksgiving and good time with family or friends.

So, because I like fashion and taking pictures of my family, I am going to share how my mom and I celebrated Thanksgiving.

First of all, I actually had the day off from work. Hooray! So, I was actually able to dress up and get ready to celebrate with my family. I decided to start off the celebrations by posting a picture on Instagram.

And, here is the actual outfit!

The jeans are the same ones as the blue skinny jeans from my fall fashions blog last week. The blue shirt is actually a men’s shirt that I purchased from a thrift store. I also had some brown boots that were Haley’s that she was getting rid of, so I took them.

I also added a gold flower necklace that I bought from Forever 21. I used it as my statement piece. I then added small brown bead earrings as a little extra.

So enough about me, here are the centerpieces that my Aunt put together. They were very cute! And on each of the pumpkins were a small tag that told us who was sitting where. This was a great idea!

And finally, we took a family picture because we hardly get the chance.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving! And…now it’s on to Christmas!

Happy Friday! This week is a bit better than last. Last week Friday, I didn’t feel so well :(. It wasn’t terrible, just blah and yukky. Glad that’s over with! Next week at school we have our Thanksgiving Feast and the kids are very excited! We have been practicing a couple of verses and the Gobble, gobble song to perform for their parents. Then it’s time to eat!

Rozy has already been eating her share of pumpkin! She created this nice hole and then kept making it bigger until she could get her whole head inside! She would eat some pumpkin and spit out the seeds.

While Rozy is still celebrating fall, I started wrapping presents. My closet was overflowing and I wasn’t even sure what all I had anymore! In fact, I found some things for the girls I had completely forgotten about!! But I have my list now, and it’s all organized. I bought some wrapping paper last year, but I tried using up the old stuff I had.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! If you are preparing to travel for the holiday, be safe. Enjoy your time with your families!

Sunshine and Blessings

Welcome to the newest edition of the Corner News! It is finally getting colder and darker here in California…unfortunately for some of us who prefer the warmer weather it isn’t that great.

But, here are some of the things that have happened these past weeks.

I want to apologize for not posting yesterday. We thought that because there were so many blog posts this week that you MUST be getting tired of us. Just kidding, I know you love us! So, to let you know what I have been working on, here is a sneak peek!

Isn’t this a great sneak peek?

Next on the agenda, my roommate, my dad, and myself all went to a concert called Winter Jam. It is a Christian concert and it is only $10 to get in. The company my dad works for has a box in the stadium where the concert was held and we were blessed enough to get tickets in the booth. It was absolutely amazing! My favorite band, Skillet, was the main act and they were incredible. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any good pictures of Skillet, but here is a picture of Lydia and I.

Sorry for the terrible lighting

Finally, I want to remind everyone of the giveaway that we are hosting with ParrotUncle. And, if you don’t think that the lamp will look good in your house, maybe it will look good in someone who you know’s house. Here is the link again for the raffle.

Thanks for stopping by for another edition of the Corner News. Hope you have a great weekend and keep warm.

Good morning! This post is really late. First of all, I totally forgot it was my turn to post. Lauren reminded me Thursday evening, but I had a meeting that night and didn’t get it done. Then I worked Friday and when I got home, my computer started acting up. So now I am on Haley’s laptop trying to get this done! So beyond all that…here is Corner News!

Of course, our puppy again! This picture was just too precious not to post!

I also thought I would share a couple of our Halloween costumes. Several people wanted to see the Mary Poppins costume, so here it is. It was dark already, but hopefully you get the idea.
