You will be missed

My Grandmother was an extrordinary lady. She was so beautiful inside & out. Any creative energy I posess came from that beautiful woman. She taught me to sew, to make homemade apricot jam, and most importantly..to love God. She passed away on Saturday. You will be missed Olive..may you rest in peace.

8 day round up

By now I should be on day 27 of Kendi's 30 for 30 challenge, So Sue Me!
I've been having a rough semester at school. Things are crazy right now with next
week being the final week of school. I am cramming for finals and pulling my hair out!!
I'm not sure how long it will take me to finish the challenge but maybe I'll finish it by
next year (if i'm lucky:) I also just realized my pictures are not in numerical order...can
you tell how stressed I am..aghhh! Thank you for all of your wonderful comments along
the way....you help me see the light at the end of the tunnel in this challenge;) I'm off
to make a whole butt load of cookies atmy MIL's house. It's our annual christmas cookie
making party!

The 29 Before 30 list

Shirt:ON, Skirt:Vintage, Boots: Off Broadway, Scarf:ON, Purse: Vintage, Earrings & Belt: Hubby

Okay, so I'm kinda crazy for revealing my age...aww who cares!! I got this
creative idea from Elsie's cute blog! I pondered for awhile, scrached my
head, then created a list of 29 goals to accomplish before my birthday. I
have a fewmore months til the BIG 30, so we'll see how many of these I
can cross off my list before the party! I'll try to take some pics to keep
you updated on how I'm doing. I hope the hubby is planning something

spectacular...it's kind of a big deal;)

Sharing lunch with 3rd graders?

Sweater: BCBG, Cardi: ON, Skirt: Target, Socks: Hubby, Belt: Khols, Boots: FF, Lipstick: Revlon really red

I'm lovin' my new red lipstick! Just got it today on sale at Walmart
for dirt cheap! It kinda makes me look pale and famished. I was
even offered a partial lunch from my cute third graders! I told them
my stomach was growling because their chicken sandwiches looked so
tasty (I skipped breakfast). A few of them immmediately told me they
would share their lunches with me....what sweethearts;) Of course I
politely declined the offer. Made my day! I can't wait to be a real teacher
when I grow up;) All this red is getting me excited for Christmas! 24 more
days and counting, literally, with our little Advent calendar;)
Happy first day of December!

"Bust out some vintage!"

I'll try to keep this post short and sweet since I have tons of homework, and
should be doing it instead of blogging **shh...dont' tell hubby** I have been
so behind on the 30 for 30 I sound like a broken record now a days. So
I'm posting two outfits today, don't hate, what I wore yesterday and today.
I promise to redeem myself, just you wait and see! But before I sign off for the
evening I'd like to share a bit of Kendra fashion philosophy: when putting an
outfit together, it's not complete until you "Bust out some vintage!"
Nighty Nite!

Shirt: Khols, Skirt: AE, Tights:old?, Shoes:Thrifted, Purse: BUSTED OUT VINTAGE

Blazer: BUSTED OUT VINTAGE, Shirt: Boutique, Jeans: Lucky, Boots: FF, Hat: Gift(Etsy)

Looks like pie

I'm a little behind on Kendi's 30 for 30 challenge, like 11 days behind *blush*,
and it's posing to be that much harder after eating a months caloric intake
in the space of 2 days! (yes we had a second thanksgiving feast yesterday for
a family members birthday celebration...can I get an AMEN!)

A few days of non-stop Jazzercise and maybe I can fit back into
my clothes, there's the real challenge, remixing is starting to look like pie...
well everything looks like pie today... maybe I'm hallucinating?
Better go take a nap and sleep this one off;)

Happy Saturday!!

Happy Turkey Holiday!

Look who decided to grace our lawn this weekend;)
I hope every one is having a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!
