Take Two

Please excuse the following plug. Awhile back I started a little bloggie graphic design business. Not a whole lot happened so I decided it needed a new look and feel. I have upgraded Shannon Elizabeth Designs to it's own blog. At my design blog you can view the services I am offering, the pricing…

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

I am still stranded in the smokey mountains. But boy, is it beautiful! (I took these photos on my iphone using the app Hipstamatic. The setting: lens- John S; film- Blanko; flash off)

Flashback Friday: Christmas Edition

Tonight we will be doing what we have done every Christmas Eve since forever: Opening one gift, always pajamas, and listening to my dad (or possibly my grandpa) read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. I will eat too many cookies and I will try my darndest to feel those butterflies and the pure j…

Me Time?

My roommate left yesteraday.
Peter left on Friday.
Sister left on Wednesday.

I officially have a lot of time to myself until I get to leave. Not sure how I feel about that but here's how I'm spending it:

1. Talking to Charter for the zillionth time to figure out why my cable and internet are no…

Conflicting Christmas Couture

Last week I went to Peter's fraternity's closed night and I wore this:
On Saturday I went to his fraternity's "Grinch" party. It's their tacky outgrageous Christmas party. I wore this: Yes Peter's sweater has a fur collar and yes my dress is covered in multi-colored ornam…

Wish List

I may have been a little excessive this year, but I by no means expect everything/anything on it, but it's still fun to make a Christmas Wish List! 1. This lovely "Taupe of the Morning" colored coat from Old Navy. 2. Frye boots. My list had a few different styles. 3. A new daybed slip c…

Christmas Countdown: 10 days

1. What does it mean to have the holiday spirit? I think it means that you are filled with the hope of the season and the promise that this time of year brings. I think means that you don't get caught up in the stress of travel plans, or the amount shopping or baking or cleaning you have to do.…

Cornbread Muffins with a Twist

Tonight I made chili. I just crave a big bowl of chili on cold days. Nothing better. I also LOVE cornbread with my chili. Here is my recipe for Pimento Cheese Sweet Corn Muffins! They are so moist and yummy and you don't have to like pimento cheese to love these. Really they are just a versio…

Restless Reflections

So I am still struggling with blog content and it's annoying. These days I am also struggling with feelings of resltessness-probably why I can't pin down anything interesting to blog about. I am frustrated with my job, with how I spend my time, with the same routine. I am anxious and ready …

Sleigh Bells....

1. Have you ever been on a real sleigh ride? My family was blessed with a wonderful winter vacation to Austria, where we took a cozy, but cold sleigh ride to this beautiful castle:
2. What's your policy on chain mail? Well... honestly, I pretty much just delete them all. If I do read one I pretty …

Tuesday Tunes: T-Swift Needs to Breathe

That's right folks, if you couldn't tell from the title, the best concert ever will be coming to a stadium/concert place near you in 2011! Needtobreathe (probably my favorite band) will be joining Taylor Swift on tour! Pause for screams of jubilation and much jumping up and down..... I lik…

Happy December! I am home from my little Thanksgiving vacay and it was just what I needed. I will take time and go through some of the highlights later but right now I am just going to participate in the hodgepodge. And it's not too late for you to do the same!
