Vegas or Bust!!!

I just finished packing for my trip to Las Vegas. My long time friend (who just happens to be my cousin's fiance ;)) is having her bachelorette party in sin city. I have never really gone out in Vegas so this is going to be exciting! Plus..all of the girls going I have known since kindergarten (we were all girl scouts together) We are staying at the Flamingo which I am super excited about because not only does it have a water slide( yes I am going to Vegas and yes my favorite part is the water slide ;)) but because this is the hotel where my grandparents eloped in the 40's. What a wonderful part of our history....well....off I goooooooo!!!

For my nerdy side....

aaaahhhhh I am so excited to see this quorra costume online! I have wanted to make a quorra costume ever since I saw the movie Tron but no companies had made the costume until now. I was even contemplating what kind of material I could use for the lights on the costume when I made my own. Although I am sure this is not the best quality costume..I am still excited to see that there is one out there. Still I think I might make my own.

Life as a Construction worker???

So today was a very productive and rewarding day...and I am not talking about the yummy lunch I was treated to by my future cousin in law/great friend.  Today I helped my friend put new grass in her backyard...we chose seed because it is waaay cheaper. Anyhoo...three girls...6 hours...and 25 bags of manure later..we had successfully laid down grass seed( well I hope it grows!) and we could not feel any more proud of ourselves. We are independent women and we got the job done! Although it may have been a long hard day we managed to make it extremely fun...theres something about listening to old spice girls songs while spreading manure that just makes it all better ;)

These Boots are Made for Walkin.......

So it is no secret that I am in love with cowboy boots...my dad is from Tennessee so maybe it has a little to do with that :) I have worn them since I was little...I even had a pair of red and pink boots when I was little. And to be honest I wouldn't mind picking up a pair of grown up red boots as well! Here are a few pictures of boots that I just love...most of them are on brides maids which I just love and hope to do at my wedding one day. Enjoy

I sneaked one in there of me in my favorite boots!

Tea for Two Forever: A Bridal Shower

Much to my rescue my beautiful cousin to be and long time friend had her bridal shower today. It was a much needed break from the hours of cleaning I was doing for my dad's party on Sunday. The shower was a lovely tea complete with the yummiest finger sandwiches. I am truly happy to welcome one of my best friends into our family and I cannot wait for the wedding!!! I just hope my bridesmaid dress gets here in time...yikes! I also got the chance to wear one of my favorite vintage dresses again...compliments of the long beach antique swapmeet :)      Today was a wonderful day and I can't wait for tomorrow...then back to work on my etsy store...it is in the works I promise!
