What a week and its only... Tuesday!

I have officially started my internship! I am working at a CPA firm and in one day I have already learned so much. I filed a Corperate Tax return, individual tax return, and did something with extensions! Not to mentions learned 3 new programs and Quickbooks (kinda). ha... a little overwhelmed, yet so excited. Everyone in the office is so funny and inviting. I have A LOT of questions and they are all more than helpful! Can't wait for Tax Season! ha ha ha.

On top of that, school (although only on the second week) is getting hectic. Quizzes are flying my way, readings to be done every night and test will be here before I know it. Even though I am a little stressed, I really like a few of my teachers. I am hoping to learn a lot and hopefully it will all correlate with my internship.

It is also Fraternity Rush week. I made the CUTEST buttons for the girls that were helping and we all wore them last night. I will post a picture soon! I only made a few and was bombarded with girls (and boys) wanting them, guess I should have made more! To say they least they were a hit! And on that subject I love Kappa Alpha boys- True Southern Gentleman!

Last...well kinda... I started a new Taebo workout class. It was great!!! My friends and I are going on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It totally kicked my but and I loved every second of it. The instructor is motivational and constantly keeping your energy up. Today was a really good workout and I will most likely be sore tomorrow. Hopefully I will be seeing some results soon!!

So thats a recap on my crazzzzzyyyy week and most likely all of fall semester!!
O WAIT! I forgot to mention FOOTBALL SEASON!!!!! Monday night: FSU vs. Miami!! GO NOLES :)

All moved in!

I am all moved it! Here is a quick picture of my bedroom at school. It is quite eclectic with lots of bargains! The iron rod bed is almost 100 years old, my mom found it when she was very young in a burnt down house and had it restored and painted. The little white desk was also a restoration piece. Although it was not too old, it was very boring before my mom and I added our touch! Originally it was a very light pine color and looked very "modern". I was going for a shabby chic look in my room. So we painted it white and added the crystal knobs on each drawer. It turned out perfect and was very easy!

(this is the desk in the middle of the project! I sanded it and did a spray primmer, then continued to spray paint the desk.) I was a little worried about spray painting it, but I did my research online and looked at quite a few blogs as well, and decided to just take the plunge! It turned out great and I got a very nice even coat! We added little crystal knob like these to add a girly touch. And the next picture is of the other side of my room, I love the mannequin. I actually found it at Wal-Mart a few years back, my parents got it for me as a Valentine's Day gift! I use it to hold fun pins and some jewelery. Sometime its even gets dressed up for holidays!




This is a quick picture of my bathroom. I LOVE monograms (but what southern girl doesn't?!?)I love my new place! But if it weren't for my parents' hard work and help, it wouldn't look like this at all! We had to clean A LOT and move lots of heavy furniture! So many thanks to them. xoxo

Lilly Photo of the Week!

Welcome back... to me! ha ha ha. I need to get my act together, to say the least! A summer job, starting school, moving in, sorority recruitment, and a new internship has taken over my life! But I have lots to blog about now :) I am Miss Janice's Lilly photo of the week, so check it out!! If you want to know more about my Lilly trip ( where the pictures are from) I blogged about all the details at the beginning of the summer!! Hope you enjoy looking around my blog for anyone who is new!!

Giant Paper Flower!

This is the cutest project ya'll! I was watching The Martha Stewart Show on Friday and this is one of the projects they created! I am always ready to make any thing crafty, especially something like this where I had all the supplies already and I knew would turn out so perfect! The directions and a Video can be found right here!

I put my giant paper poppy flower on top of a card for a bridal shower to dress up a 'his and hers' gift card set (Sears for him and Bed, Bath and Beyond for her). The Shower theme was 'around the clock'; each girl was assigned a time to theme the gift. For example, 8 am: She received a pancake skillet with batter and all, plus a few spatulas to flip them! Then she would open 9, 10.... so on. A few funny ones were 12(noon) with a gift themed "Afternoon Delight ;)" , so on to 5 o'clock with wine glasses, martini glasses, Koozies, and drink mixes, even a zester! I received 3 o'clock... I figured what better time to go shopping! ha ha ha ( Although any time is good to shop for me!) Really gift cards were something where the Bride could pick out a gift she really wanted or needed! But EVERYONE loved the flower on top. The room was filled with teachers ( mostly k-2nd grade) and of course they wanted to make it a project for their kids in the classroom! It would make a perfect spring craft or Mother's Day gift for the little ones! And it really is that easy! Everything can be found on the Martha Stewart Show website ( Directions, Video, and Templates!)

I haven't worn a Skort since 1st grade!

...and now I can't get enough of them! This is my new workout obsession. I love buying workout clothes because I want to wear them and then inturn, I have to workout! Not to mention when you go to a university gym you have to look good! It is really just another social place on campus. These skorts are feminine and very comfortable. They are skirts, but still funtion for workouts because of the cute little shorts under them! Most have slits or zippers on the side to adjust for your workout or stride. There are no "wedgies" or riding up because the spandex stays in place well under the skirt, but it is a lot more modest than just wearing spandex! I think the fit of most are very flattering and make your legs look long and girly! Everyone is selling them now and I even picked up a few at TJ Maxx!

Snapshots for Charity

On Friday I took these pictures for a charity event. In the Spring my Mom's elementary school held a Relay for Life event; the event helps raise money to fight cancer. For her Relay for Life team she put a photo package up for auction (She is also a professional photographer). The highest bidder would receive a sitting and a few prints, as well as a CD with all the pictures. Now, my mother is an amazing photographer and her pictures turned out a lot better, but here are a few I shot. I just tagged along on the shoot to help set things up and make sure the details of the pictures (like spacing, seaweed on the ground, signs out of the way) were taken care of and the triplets were all looked after! While there, I snapped a few myself! These aren't edited at all, but they will be! Hopefully we can add these into the package!

A. Tierney

A little bit ago I won a A.Tierney bangle from the Pink Tutu! I got it in the mail while I was on Vacation and couldn't wait to wear it! I have worn it many times since then and have received so many compliments! The bracelet is even prettier in person than the website shows it! I thought I would share a few pictures of it with ya'll! These were taken before Phillip and I headed to dinner at the beach, we snapped a few quick pictures :)




Thanks again! I love it so much!!
