Chooie as "Mr. T" for Halloween!


Please go check out my friend Jenna's blog where she posted some pictures of my little cutie Chewbacca! We call him Chooie for short :)

Here's a little glimpse :)

He has a mohawk from the top of his head, all the way down his back...it's his signature hair cut now!

Wee Bit of Me Wednesdays :)



{one} have you ever crawled through a window?
Haha, yes...a few times!! When I was in high school there were a couple times my sister and I forgot the house key so she lift me up so I could climb in our bedroom window and unlock the door. Lol, and another time...(only about a year ago!) I had an assignment due that I needed to email to my professor, but I lived 40min outside of town and the school lab was open, so my friend told me to climb through her window and I could use her computer! (I have a key to her place now, thank goodness )  :]

{two} what’s one subject that you wish you knew more about?
Science...I've always enjoyed it and I don't think you could ever learn too much from or about it :)

{three} who’s your favorite villain?
Oh gosh, this is a tough one! ....but I think I'm gonna have to go with James from the movie Twilight...mainly because he is played by Cam Gigandet and he is SOOO good looking ;)

{four} have you ever hit a jackpot on a slot machine?
Sadly, no!

{five} what is your favorite disney movie?
It is really hard to choose a favorite! How about I pick two?! Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast :]

{six} if the whole world were listening, what would you say?
Jesus loves you unconditionally!!

{seven} if you could choose one song to describe you or your life, what would it be?
Difficult decision, but...I need you to love me by Barlow Girl

{eight} your desk: messy or organized?
Currently, very messy!

{nine} have you ever had surgery?
Yes! Last November I had my wisdom teeth taken out ...haha and that's about as much surgery as I've had!

{ten} if you could have any animal as a pet, what would you have?
I love my pekingnese Chooie...he is what I wanted and I got him in January :)
lol...I would like to get him a girlfriend...

Pumpkin Carving with Friends

This past week I met up with some of my awesome friends for a night of pumpkin carving :)
I know it was a little early to carve, but it was the best night b/n all of our work schedules to get together.

This is officially the first pumpkin I've ever carved!

I had fun with the girls and was really happy with the end result of my pumpkin!

Unfortunately, I awoke this morning to find my pumpkin looking a little lopsided on my kitchen counter....he was rotting :/  and therefore I had to throw him away ::tear::

Hopefully I'll get a chance to carve another before Halloween :)

Well here are a few pictures from our Pumpkin Carving night!




Haha, my friends are crazy...that's probably why I love them so!

Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween Decorations (1)

Just wanted to make a short post about my Halloween Decor...it's coming together!
I have been working a lot of hours so I REALLY have not had time to craft...in fact I haven't finished my Halloween Party invites yet and Halloween is a little more than two weeks away!

Anyways...last time I went to goodwill, same time I bought my candelabra for Halloween, I also got these candle sconces (lol I believe that's what they are!).

They were $1.91 apiece :) Happy Day! I didn't have to do a thing to them!

I just hung some eerie cloth I bought from the dollar store and a couple of red candles from Wal-mart. Can we say inexpensive?!



...a close up :)

Thanks for visiting!

Bushels of fun at the Apple Festival!

I had a pretty awesome weekend hanging out with some great friends :)

I don't get to do much, honestly..between working full time and spending a few evenings every week coaching colorguard at my younger sister's high school..it was nice to get away with the girls!

My friend Stephanie had been to this Apple Festival in Ellijay, GA last year with her family and thought it would make a good trip with friends. It's a 3 hour drive from where we live, so we drove up Friday night and stayed at a cute little hotel that was only about 5 minutes from the festival (and had a pretty awesome view).

Here is the gang...
Katrina, Antonya, Stephanie, and ME!

My friends are beautiful :]

It was nice seeing all the vendors and their crafts! Haha, my friend Antonya  saw a couple things she liked, but didn't buy anything. She was like, "Crystal can make that for me!" :) Anywho, I love seeing other people's creations!

After a few hours at the festival, we went to a nearby apple orchard for a mini photoshoot! You could pick your own apples too!


...and a few more picture...you can see the view a bit in these :)


...just a little bit of me ;)
