glitter is the herpes of the craft world.

it's true. once you bring glitter into your house, you'll never get rid of it.

ok. so today is supposed to be "finally finished friday." however, it seems i have been especially non-productive this past week... out of the six to-dos i posted last week i have accomplished: zero. none. not a one.

i almost got one tackled. i made an appointment to get juliet's nails cut today. but then i got distracted and missed her appointment time. what was i distracted by?

arts and crafts time! yay! {hence the glitter problem}.

i am anxiously awaiting being able to decorate for christmas. i've seen that a lot of other people have already done so, but austin says i have to wait until after thanksgiving. so until then, i will craft my little heart out in preparation.

today, i made three wreaths. one for our bedroom door, one for our bathroom door, and one for guinny's door. i made them each color coordinated to the decor of the room!

this is the one on our bathroom:

and here's the one on our bedroom door:

and, my personal favorite, the one on the guest room/guinny's room:

i got all of the supplies at the dollar store or wal-mart. i bought the wreath forms, the pine garland, doves, and ornaments at the dollar store. then at wal-mart i got the glittery things sticking out from behind the wreaths, the "peace" sign and the ribbon at wal-mart. very inexpensive and super cute {in my opinion, anyways}.

but now my house has the glitter disease. oh well, we'll call it festive.

now then, what, if anything, did i accomplish the past seven days {back to that finally finished friday}? let's see...

finally, we got to see mcs in concert, with our v.i.p. access.
{does that even count for f.f.f.?}

finally, i finished a deep cleaning of the house. thus, the reason you all got an inside tour of our house the other day. i organized, vacuumed, mopped, and even dusted. i know, who am i?

finally, i got a job interview. actually, two. with the same people though, but i'm hoping it's a good sign that the first interview led to an immediate second interview with the company owner's. haven't heard back yet, though. keeping positive thoughts.

not much accomplished as far as my to-dos, but oh well, we'll just move them on to this week's plan!

so, by this time next week, i hope to:
  • finally, post a blog about our halloween dinner party
  • finally, assemble our headboard
  • finally, plant daffodils {still hope it's not too late}
  • finally, get juliet's nails cut {appointment made for monday}
  • finally, send our wedding photographer our picks
  • finally, fill some of the empty picture frames
yeah, it's the same list as last week. we'll see how much of it really gets done this week...
