Welcome to the Corner News! In the past two weeks, I have been working, going to school, and working…yeah!

But, mom and I did do something fun last night. It was another Do-It-Herself at Home Depot. So…we took a pre-project selfie.

Then, we found out that we weren’t going to be making the mosaic mirror that we thought we would be making…DISAPPOINTED! I was really looking forward to making a mirror and making it my own. But alas, we had to settle with a blanket ladder. It was extremely simple and something that I didn’t need (not like I needed the mirror either). But nonetheless, we stayed for the project.

There were quite a few problems. First, there were only two drills that people could use. Second, said drills stripped the screws that we were given. Third, we were given nails. And fourth, most of my nails ended up like this.

URGH! But, with a lot of help from my mom, and a few other friends who joined us, we were able to complete the blanket ladder. Mine is the one of the left, mom’s is on the right.

They still need to be painted, but they are done essentially. I don’t know what I will paint mine…maybe pink? Hopefully next month, it is a better project and it is more organized.

So that was the most exciting thing that happened these past two weeks. Hope you have a great weekend and we will see you on Monday!

It’s October everyone! Halloween is just around the corner! I have no idea what I am going to be for Halloween or if I am going to even dress up. It depends on if I have to work that day or not.

These past two weeks have been school. Yippee. Here is my excited face.

Also, my iPhone imploded. I was charging it in my car when I heard a pop and smoke started to go everywhere in my car. I honestly didn’t know what was going on until I saw that my cable was smoking. Now it won’t hold a charge. But thankfully, my phone company has been really helpful and is sending me a replacement phone. Hooray for technology.

Other than those things, nothing real excited happened except for work and school. I hope you guys have a more exciting week than I had!

It’s Friday!!! What a week it has been! I am so ready for a weekend! Last weekend, my poor Ezzy was sick and I ended up taking her to the emergency vet. We had to wait awhile, since she wasn’t high priority. After the vet ‘talked’ with her, she said she should have come in much sooner, because Ezzy was such a sad case. She was like her own martyr. 😦 This is how she was while waiting. She is much better now though. Thanks for asking!

This is what I read while waiting in the vet office. What an awesome dog magazine! They also have a cat one. This had so much great information and fun stories.

I have also been going through my clothes, pulling everything out of my closet, one type of clothing at a time. First the shirts, then pants, then skirts and so on. I ask myself if I really like this or will wear it. If the answer is ‘eh’, it goes. This is my ‘to go’ pile. I do have to be in the right mood though. I can be awfully sentimental. Next up, jewelry!

It feels really good to clean things out and to know that what is left is stuff I really like and looks and feels good to wear.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! I will be back on Monday with my Fall Home Tour, so stop by!

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of The Corner News! Here is what went on these past two weeks.

Number 1: Sorry that this post is late…ooppss…

Number 2: I got a promotion at work! Hooray! I am now in a supervising position where I am a Team Leader. I have to work at the other location than where I was originally, but I started this past Wednesday and I am still very new to it. Thankfully, the other Team Leaders are very nice and have helped me with the differences.

Number 3: Mom and I went to build some rustic pumpkins stand thingies…We had quite a bit of fun doing it.

First, we took a selfie!

Then we hammered the nails in that we needed to build the box.

Next we drew our designs to cut them out. I didn’t want to be traditional and decided to draw out a cat instead of a pumpkin.

Here is my cat.

And here is mom’s pumpkin.

They aren’t done obviously, but this is how far we got. And this is the exciting things that have happened these past weeks. Hope you have a great weekend!

Hey everyone! It is Friday! Hip hip hooray! It the end of the week and onto the weekend, where everyone can relax. So, here is what has been going on in my world this week.

I started school last week…bleh…can it be over yet? If you didn’t know, I am a Kinesiology major and I would love to graduate with a degree in Exercise Science. I am hoping that will happen in the next school year, or maybe the fall semester.

My roommates and I have a study session

Also, I started my own Periscope! Not only am I do the #SeptemberScopers challenge with my mom for the blog, but I am going to try to vlog…livestream…scope…whatever it’s called everyday as well. So please follow both our Periscope accounts to get double the fun!

And finally, I have been making more signs like I made for my coworker Kelli. I made this one for my coworker Lola.

Owl Always Love You

And this one for my coworker Braydan.

The Smooth Sea Never Made A Skilled Sailor

And I have more orders in the works! If enough people are interested in these signs, I might start an Etsy account to sell them for others. Let me know if you would be interested so we can get that ball rolling if needed!

Well, that’s all that happened these past two weeks. Hope you have a great weekend and see you all next week!
