More Signs

This is going to be extremely quick - I'm still getting in the groove of being back in school for the semester - but I wanted to share the signs I made for my parents for Christmas this past year. Obviously I couldn't post these until after I gave them to them. 

For my mom - she is a little bit addicted to shelling. Like seriously, it is a sickness.

For my dad - doesn't really require much explanation. :-)

Cowgirl Sin Dip

Looking for an easy yet tasty dip for your Super Bowl party?

Pepperoni Soup {Crock Pot Recipe}

Y'all know how I am about soups in my crock pot, I'm obsessed! This is a great, easy recipe that I make for those cold and lazy days, makes my apartment smell great too!

Holiday Wrapping

I haven't been able to post much in the last couple of months and I apologize. First were finals (thankfully went well!) and then I was stuck under about a foot of snow in Little Rock...not only did we have a white Christmas, it was dark as well! 

Along with what seemed like the majority of Central Arkansas we lost power on Christmas day, though we were lucky and had it restored about 24 hours later...some people didn't have it back yet when I left for Northwest Arkansas on the 31st.

I know it is late, but I wanted to share my holiday wrapping with y'all!

I found the plain brown bags at Hobby Lobby (if only you knew the million of places I looked before trying there) and then just cut everybody's names out on my Silhouette CAMEO (the font is Lobster) in a dark red vinyl! Everybody LOVED them!

Honestly you can use this for any occasion, so I made sure I bought extra bags! 

Hopefully I will get my gifts and a few other posts I have ready in the next couple of weeks, so get ready to see more of me!

Vegetable Soup {Crock Pot Recipe}

The temperatures dropped again today (I woke up to it being 30 outside!) so naturally I had to continue with my soup quest! This recipe is AMAZING and actually fairly healthy too! 

French Onion Soup {Crock Pot Recipe}

After making the Enchilada Soup for three weeks in a row, I decided that I needed to branch out (again) and try something different. That's when I came across a recipe for French Onion Soup in the crock pot that I absolutely had to try!

Enchilada Soup {Crock Pot Recipe}

It is shaping up to be a cool, wet Fall here in Arkansas -  we are not complaining after the hot, dry summer we just endured - and that means I start craving soups pretty much all the time. If you don't love coming home to the smell of a soup that's been simmering all day in the crock pot then obviously you are not from around here!

DIY Wooden Sign

Very rarely do I start a blog post with a picture of the finished product, but I'm way too proud of this sign to hide all the final pictures down at the bottom of the post! 

And in other great news this past week, I got my first feature over at Etcetorize for my Not-So-New Dresser Makeover! Now onto my amazing wall sign/art:

The Big Move: Moving Day

Over the weekend I posted a brief tour of the new apartment prior to moving day. Today I wanted to share the ridiculousness joys of moving day and the moving in process.

A Not-Really-New Dresser

Enter: Dresser that came from my grandparents' guest bedroom many many years ago. 

I've used this dresser for several years now, and it used to have a matching mirror to hang above it but it somehow got lost, broken, or donated before I received it. Needless to say, there are drawers that go with it, I just needed the before picture...after I had started stripping the drawers. Yes, another blogger fail on my part!

The Big Move: The Empty Apartment

Moving is an art that I feel my parents and I have perfected over the last two years. Luckily my mom graduated from the "James Yarberry School of Packing" and my dad and I have graduated from the school of "stay out of Mom's way while she's packing". 

In the past two and a half years I have lived in my 1br college apartment in Fayetteville, a cute little farmhouse in Highfill, a large 2br/2bath house in Heber Springs, my childhood bedroom, and now full circle back to Fayetteville in a 2br/1bath apartment. I figured I can use this move as a excuse chance to blog.
