Crafting time

One of the many blogs I follow recently posted the cutest craft idea. Turning antique tins into candle holder's so simple but they sure come out cute. For directions on how to make these beautiful creations check out Design Sponge's Blog.

A Sea of Red

Don't you just love the brilliant red color of cranberries! I've been daydreaming today about cranberries wouldn't it be fun to work at a cranberry field for a day and be able to wear those funny looking pants that cranberry farmers wear. I love the ocean spray commercials where the men are just standing with all those floating berries around them. Plus cranberries are so good for you cranberry juice dried cranberries and even cranberry sauce at thanksgiving, what could be better than cranberries.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Just Say NO!

Ok i'm so nervous about the fact that Halloween is going to ruin me haha i'm being dramatic. Really though i have zero control when it comes to saying no to candy! I'm going to try very hard to avoid eating candy this weekend I'm just going to say NO! but MMMM don't you just love candy!

Feeling Accomplished

I am so excited I received an A+ on my Psychopathology midterm. I can't even tell you how excited I was or shocked even, that class is one of my most challenging so I feel like the early mornings at Starbucks has really paid off! I think I feel so good about it because it is my first midterm since undergrad and that was two years ago. So I'm really liking graduate school!

Beautifully Carved Pumpkins

I haven't carved a pumpkin yet this year, I might do it tomorrow night last year I got carried away and carved an owl and a moon. This year I am tempted to do something similar to these beautifully carved pumpkins from design's sponge blog you can see the directions for how to do these on that blog. Due to my busy schedule and lack of resources I think I might just keep it simple and stick with your typical jack-o-lantern spooky face. But aren't these beautiful.

A Good Morning

What is a good morning to this Graduate Student. An early morning at the coffee shop where I am sipping on some hot tea while getting a jumpstart on my homework! I always feel accomplished and energized when I do something other than rush through getting ready in the morning and dash out the door just in time to rush to work. All that rushing makes me sick. So I'm happy to say that this is a Great Morning! for me sitting at the coffee shop as we speak enjoying a leisurely cup of tea plenty of time before I need to be at work.
