Halloween Weekend

I realized it has been almost a month since I last posted something. Boo!!! So many times I have thought about writing something, but I always get distracted. I have realized the best time for me to write a post is when I should be doing homework instead. For example, I should be writing a paper right now. :)

So, not too much has been going on these past few weeks. School is busy busy busy (as usual). I signed up for classes this past Wednesday. It will be my last semester of taking classes because next fall I will be student teaching. It amazes me how college has flown by so quickly. I try not to think about it too much.

I have been in a crafty mood recently, so I have been working on projects here and there.

I had tissue paper flowers left over from my cousin's baby shower. I didn't want to throw them out so I used them to decorate my room. I tried hanging them from the ceiling, but they all fell down. I came across this idea on a blogsite and thought it was cute. I might add a few more to this wall. It brightens up the room alot.

I had a really plain and simple J. Crew shirt that I never wore because it was a little too simple. I bought some fabric from Hancocks and sewed on some "yo-yo's". I really like the finished product!

Some of the other projects I have been working on were my halloween costumes. All three outfits were either made or adjusted in some way.  See pictures below!!! My next few projects are some re-fashioning of old shirts and then making a shirt for a friend. And don't forget about christmas presents too!! :)

Halloween (or should I say "Halloweek") started last Tuesday for me with a Fall Carnival put on by Residence Life. The children of faculty and staff came and participated in games and trick-or-treating. I was a cheerleader, but I don't have any pictures of my outfit from that night.

On Thursday, I have two parties: Campus Crusade and a friend's party. I was a ladybug for both parties. I re-wore this outfit from last year. It is so cute, so I had to re-use it.

On Friday, I went to a dance party as a "Jungle Woman"/ "Cavewoman". I LOVE dancing so it was fun to put on my dancing shoes and have a good time with some awesome ladies!

Saturday receives the award for my favorite costume. I was a Ninja Turtle! I don't even know where I got the idea to be one, but I just went with it. My dad made my turtle shell and a friend painted it to make the shell look more realistic. I had the most fun in this costume and will be wearing it again in the future.

Until next time....Much love,
