Oh Spring!

So.....its finally here, Spring is approaching!!  And what is the best part of Spring????  Tax returns!!  This year my tax return is being used to makeover my bedroom.  Well, maybe not "makeover", but definetly spruce up.  We are buying a new bed, a king size bed!!!  I have been waiting oh so long for this.  So as you  can imagine I am online window shopping for the duvet cover and bedframe.  I am not one for buying online before I see it in person, so I only look at sites that shops that I can go check out.  First stop as always is IKEA.  This is what I found....

I like the simple design and rich
color of this bed frame. 

I thought the colors in this would play
well off the rich brown of the bedframe.  

Stay tuned as I will post before and after pics of the final result sometime this month!

Snail Mail

Some more great stationary.

Since Henry is a mut and a rescue we have no way of actually knowing what breeds he is made up of.  Because of this it is impossible to find novelty items with dogs that look like him, so I have been slightly obsessed with looking for Beagle novelties since the coloring of a beagle is so similar to Henry.  

Find these and other great designs at Crane & Co

New Wave Holiday Party

So I finally found a dress, I've been looking for a month online and I still ended up spending at least 6 hrs total at the mall.  It was awful! I love to shop, but I hate when its down to the wire and you have nothing to wear.  I usually get a few options and then return what I didnt wear, things look so different once you get the home.  The party was at Crimson in Hollywood and it was great!  

  I finally decided on this Rachel Roy number, I figured it was modest enough for a company gathering and still fun enough for NYE.

Thanksgiving!!

Of all the Holidays Thanksgiving is probably my favorite.  Its a day to reflect on everything you have to be thankful for, to be with those you love, and to eat an amazing meal and RELAX!!  That is exactly the Thanksgiving I had, it was fun and the food was delicious! I even helped in the kitchen, which I love to do!

The flowers we brought for Cyndy,
they ended up being the centerpiece
of the table.

The potatoes Au Gratin, the dressing
(that is what you call stuffing not in
the bird), yams, and the green bean
casserole.

The amazing and beautiful turkey platter!
