The Perfect Wreath

Happy Holidays! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving just like I did. Now it's time to move on to the countdown for Christmas!! I love seasonal decorating and this is the perfect time to showcase it for an even longer period of time. I'm starting as early as I can this year. I am currently on the hunt for the perfect wreath. Im doing my own Christmas cards this year and this will be the highlight since the pics will be taken outside on my front porch. I ventured out yesterday in what I thought would be Black Friday madness, which turned out not to be so mad after all. Things were pretty calm; I guess I got out too late, but either way the pickings for wreaths were very slim. I hit up HomeGoods and Ross and found nothing! I had my eye on one at Lowe's that I saw earlier last month but I still wasnt sure it what was I was looking for. This weekend I will be going to the Christmas Tree store. If you dont have one of those in your areas, shame on your area! Seriously, this store has the best Christmas decorations at such a great price. They have decorations for all holidays but their main feature of course is Christmas. I cant tell you how much great stuff I've found over time! So, if I dont see what Im looking for, I may let the DIY bug bite me and make my own LOL. But we'll see!! Either way, I'm going to have something by the end of the week. Here a few wreaths that I love so far..

25/8 Not Enough Time

So I knew when I started this blog that my time would probably be limited to the daily postings I imagined. With the demands of work, family, and just having "me" downtime, I struggle to post on this blog at least 2-3 times a week. When I started it I felt a sense of accomplishment because this was something that I wanted to do. It was meant to be a creative outlet for all my interests and just a way to document my thoughts, etc. Now a feeling of guilt comes because even though I don't have any followers/subscribers yet; I feel like I've let someone down. Myself. Starting things and not finishing them have kind of followed me throughout my life a few times and Im fighting to end that cycle. Hence, my degree, becoming a makeup artist, starting a blog?.. Im seeing a pattern here..hmm. I'm deciding that whatever matters most to me is where I've dedicated my time and the other things that I wanna do will come to pass. Now that I have had a chance to reflect on what those "other" things I want are, I now know where to begin. So instead of feeling guilty about not blogging daily, I'll become more happy about what's to come. I know that soon school will be done, I know that I still "do" makeup for friends when they need it, just like I know that this blog aint goin nowhere! I'll use this as my downtime to express my views on things while still giving doses of my creative interests on here. If anybody out there can relate to what I'm saying, let's agree that even though we all would like more hours in the day to do things; let's cherish the moments that have been where we've already accomplished things.
