Operation get organized for Christmas!

So it's July... and maybe I've been a little slack on my blogger self. Erg. Sorry about that. I think I just got wrapped up in school and friends and life. But I've really missed it and I think I'm back for good.

To prove just how dedicated I am, I'm going to post um... everything you've missed during the past year. That's right, the entire year!! Pretty darn amazing eh. So here goes!

Here is a photo of my Christmas mission. My mission was to get organized. I inherited all my mothers Christmas items, and just like me, she LOVED Christmas. Having to sort through everything was pretty daunting, but in the end I tackled the challenge and came out victorious.

My favorite part of this was the labels. I made them look worn and old and adorable. Each box got a label on 2 or three sides with detailed named of what each box contained. When I get home, I'll upload a closeup of my label design!

We moved in!

This is probably a good time to get this blog going. It's a new start to the school year and I'm finally getting into the swing of things. So we (me and the mister) are moved into our new place. It's big and beautiful, and just 30 seconds from a lake and a mall. What more could I want? My favorite thing about our new place are the ceilings in the living/dining room.
They are so high!! I feel like I could crawl up there and just hang out. Sorry for the messy picture. That's all our crap not sorted out. Maybe when I get my act together I will take some lovely after shots to see what it's like in here.

Anyways, it will probably take some time to get it the way I want it but for now I'll just hang out with my lovely ceilings.
