A few from this weekend......... 

:)

I hope everyone had a beautiful weekend! I've got a super busy week ahead but next week is Thanksgiving Break....... :) :) :) *happy dance!*

This Morning....

Well at....I don't know......2:30 maybe, I was still up.....


and I was sitting in my bed getting sleepy.....(trying to work while sitting in bed....is just dumb....I know this but I continue to fall prey to this all the time)......so where was I...
yes....I was getting cozy and sleepy and I thought....I could sleep for a couple of hours (no big deal) and wake back up....I set my alarm for 4:30 and I was out like a light.....


This never works......for whatever reason...it never does, it may for you...but not for me....ever....I knew better....


My eyes popped open after what felt like just a little while...I rolled over and saw the clock  7:11!!!! 
(class starts at 8:00)
.....and for a second I panicked and then I was like no! I didn't turn that clock back! It's 6:11! I immediately got up threw clothes on and dashed to Studio....yes I dashed! hehe (after applying mascara of course....and grabbing a bagel).....
Despite the fact that I wasn't going to be late for class I was still a little concerned that I hadn't finished everything that I needed to finish....(I thought about skipping...but I didn't) (I am not a skipper at all, seriously)....


I survived.....before he made it to my desk to talk to me I got a good amount accomplished.....He marked my stuff up gave me some helpful advice and.......finally.....for the first time since August, I think I saw a small glimmer at the end of the tunnel.....


Since it's November......I'll just let in be known that today....... I am thankful for that small light at the end of the tunnel and for God tapping me on the shoulder promptly at 6:11..... 

 I don't think I shared this picture before...but i have a very good/awesome/amazing reason to share it with you now.......

Friday from 1:00 to 6:00 the Interior Design program will be hosting a silent art auction.

All the art for this auction will be donated....

and the proceeds will be given to Smithville, Mississippi....

The town of Smithville was ripped to pieces by a tornado earlier in the year.

This is a topic that pulls on my heart strings.

By no means can I comprehend the hurt that these people (and those in Joplin, Tuscaloosa, and everywhere else on the map) must be dealing with......but our program made the decision to reach out and make use of our talents and creative minds.....

The image above is one that I made a few weeks ago.....This is my piece that I am submitting to the auction...

I've always been told if you don't use it, you lose it.....talent that is......

I plan on using mine...

I couldn't think of a more perfect way to do so.

:)

Mabsoot Monday.....

it means happy ;) I promise....you can check my honesty here >>>> Definition of Mabsoot


I hope everyone had a beautiful weekend! :) This is going to be an awesome week! I am completely determined. :) Tonight will most likely be an all nighter.....but other than that (which I don't even really mind, except for being sleepy the next day) this week is going to be amazingly productive and stuff! hehe.....I'm optimistic at the moment despite the fact that I left some of my work at my house... that I could have worked on while I was at work this morning......it's all good :)

I love this time of year and all the pretty colors!

I saw this card and just had to share it!

It's adorable!...from Rifle Paper Co.

I think it would be cute to have one framed to set out this time of year!

Someday when I have the time and money I want to decorate for every holiday.... :)

These just make me feel Fallish too.... :)

Minnetonka Booties! 

I now have a pair like this but they are a lighter tan color...

I love Minnetonka Moccasins.......I like to think they love me back........

Smile and have a wonderful day! :)

Catching up :)

It's Friday and I finally found a few extra moments.........

I must say that I have truly missed blogging and I promise that as soon as I can get a grip on my multiple final projects I will be back... :)

I've been busy busy and there's always something more to be done......

Two weeks until Thanksgiving break (which probably won't be too much of a break).... I'll be swamped with finishing up projects because the week after Thanksgiving, finals start and final presentations are scheduled......

but thennnnnnnnnnnnnnn................a whole month of NOOOOO school! yay! 

I absolutely love Christmas time and spending time with my lovely family! :) I just hate that the times you enjoy so very much have to pass by so quickly......

So here are some pictures of what's been going on and stuff....... :)

So very happy that it's chilly now and I can wear my awesome yellow coat!

That button up I'm wearing underneath is the J Crew button up I thrifted a few weeks ago! I love it and it's super soft and comfy.....

This is....

 how interesting shopping trips with my mom and sister can be......

(notice that her jeans and boots look like the wall landed on a person???)

......wouldn't trade shopping days with them for anything!

Sketches of the floor plan for the space I am designing..... 

 look familiar??

It's the same model that I hand built and the actual building that I posted pictures of a while back...

I drew this model in Google SketchUp.....  :D

....and these are materials that I am thinking about using in the space! yay! fun! :)

This past Sunday I was inducted into an honor society (Phi Kappa Phi)...

I was super excited and honored.....even more so that my parents and sister got to share my special day with me (oh, and of course, my sister's sweet boyfriend....he took this picture)

There he is :)

......this is me after the ceremony.....and those are the cords I received from the honor society to wear when I graduate.....eventually.... :) :) :)

and yes I know I look crazy in this picture ;)

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend :)
