Five Question Friday

It's Friday and I've started my day with a delicious Star Bucks white chocolate mocha! Hey, it's Friday and I can treat myself, right? :)
What do I love most about today? It's the weekend, I get to play with my mini sweet cakes tomorrow around the house while we are still in our pajamas, I get to go grocery shopping (have I ever told you I love to go grocery shopping?) annnnddd Five Question Friday of course!

1. What is your favorite Halloween candy?
I am going to have to say candy corn, but I can't eat a lot of it. It's just plain sugar so I can only eat like 5 at a time, but they are oh so scrumptious!

2. Do you fold your socks?
Most of the time I just pair them together and connect them so they don't lose their partners :)

3. What is something that you wish you had been warned about?
I can't think of anything that I was not warned about that I should have been, BUT I do wish I would have not worried so much about what people thought about me growing up. I have often heard people say they have never been as happy as they are in their thirties because they now know who they are. I have to agree with that even though I am not quite 30.. I have grown more confident with myself in the past year due to learning and listening to myself and what I really want out of life. I've learned to make my own decisions and like the things I really like, not just because you like them and it's what everyone is doing. Does this make sense?

4. What is the most significant difference between you and your significant other?
He stays calm and I don't! LOL- I panic in situations while he just sits back cool as a cucumber :)

5. What are three words you would use to describe yourself? (And, just for fun...if your significant other is around, ask him/her what 3 words they would use to describe you!!)
I would say: ARTISTIC because I have lots of ideas about decorating, crafts, and various projects. I can plan some outrageous events too :)
CUDDLY because I love to love on people. I love snuggling and giving hugs and kisses. That is of course if I feel comfortable with you. I don't just give random kisses to anyone, LOL. and PASSIONATE because I get intoxicated by the passion and desire to love someone, to help people in need, and I do it with all of my heart. ALL of it!

Hope you have a fantastic weekend!

It's Friday people... need I say more!? Go visit My Little Life and start playing along with Five Question Friday! So much fun!
1. What do you listen to while driving? Hmmm.. my favorite thing is to hear my little boy oohing and ahhing over different things and I could never get tired of hearing "mama" over and over again.
As far as music goes- I have recently been enjoying my Kings of Leon, Switchfoot, and Far East Movement CD's.
I also love to listen to books on CD and classical music. I listened to it the entire time I was pregnant. Made me relax while driving and feel better.

2. What is your least favorite thing about Fall?

My least favorite thing about Fall is how Thanksgiving usually gets skipped over and everyone goes straight to Christmas. I can't explain to you how important that day is to me and how I believe we should all take time to give thanks on that special day.

3. What does your dream house look like, inside and out?

This is a terrible question to ask me because I constantly am coming up with ideas in my head about my dream home. I have always wanted to build a new house to look like an old one. It would be filled with antiques and vintage decor. Cozy for sure. I love a good entrance way (especially the one in the pic) I have had that picture saved for awhile now and hopefully one day I can accomplish that look.

 
 
 
4. Would you ever own a minivan?
Not by choice, but if that's what God provided for my family, I would indeed drive it with a thankful heart :)

5. Do you wash new clothes before wearing them?
Most of the time :)

Have a fabulous weekend! Be blessed.

Pretty Pumpkins

Over the weekend our weather here in lower Alabama shifted to the cooler side and all I wanted to do was be outside! I started getting all crafty too. Seems to happen this time of year, every year. I give you:

PRETTY PUMPKINS

and

FABULOUS PUMPKINS!

Aren't they gorgeous? It took me about 10 minutes to give them a makeover and voila! I just love them.

I got the idea from the sweetest gal, Leslie, over at "A Blonde Ambition". Her blog is absolutely fantastic so if you've never seen it, you should follow her like right now. No, seriously, right now!

Scrap Tree

It's inevitable- the fall season just brings something out of me! All I want to do is cook and make things! There is this urge to do creative things that takes over me and will not stop until I start working on at least a dozen different projects at home. One of my dearest friends, Toni, called me early this morning just bouncing off the walls with ideas for things to make. Toni and I think alot alike. That's what I like about Toni, lol. My first project this fall was canning homemade apple butter, now my second project was making a scrap tree :) So much fun and so cute! I just took old fabric scraps and cut them into various "scrappy" shapes and used fabric glue to stick them on a regular artist canvas. I have an old dramatic/vintage looking frame that I am going to put it in and hang it in our house. It reminds of the leaves changing in the fall. I love it! I got the idea from a mum made of fabric that I saw on pierone.com. It was for sale for $75. Mine was much cheaper :)
