heres to the new year!

2010 was bittersweet.

i spent 7 out of 12 of these months with the greatest man, then july came around and stole him from me.

although it might be tough, 2011 will be a great year.

lets conquer it together.

does anyone else like to dress for the new year?

i might not be hitting up any big parties but i'll still dress for the occasion.

farewell 2010, you will be remembered.

my corner round 2

this corner has a lot of meaning to me. 

-i inherited the spoons from my grandmother which influenced me to start collecting spoons as well.

-the small picture inside of the frame is of landon and i at the fray concert in the summer of 09'

-the body form is a symbol of my love for fashion design. 

-some of the necklaces were my mothers from when she was my age.

-landon gave me the black and white picture holder for christmas of 09'

-the pictures inside of the frames came from an anthropologie magazine, which i drool over every month. 

it is so fun to personalize a small space. there are endless options in my book. 

on to another corner tomorrow!

whats in my corner?

i have recently redone my bedroom so i thought it would be kind of fun to do a little tour.

and, it forces me to finish putting the final touches together.

i'm going to start with what i've finished first.

and here it is..

where i got everything:

 #1-if you have never visited qadesigns its a must. her items can make any room feel so personalized.
i chose utah because thats where i am from and i chose mexico because thats where my other half is. :)
#2-the planted earth is here in orem, utah. its one of our major thrift stores. i visit there at least once a month and can always find something i'm in love with.
#3-for christmas my family draws names and this year my brother tristin & sister in-law juanique drew mine. they live in colorado therefore that is where they bought it. its the perfect jewelry holder!  
thanks brother&sister!
#4-once again, this was a gift from my amazing nanny family.  
(jane is the best blogger, you should give her a visit!)

***

there you have it! i hope that was a little bit entertaining for you.
happy decorating!

let life begin.

i have finally taken a big step in my life. i have made a commitment that i am thrilled about. 

i started hair school.

not just normal hair school, i am an apprentice for the owner of studio 210.

 yes, i might feel like a fish out of water but i know it will only get easier as time goes on.

i will graduate in about 15 months and get this, by the time i finish school landon will only have 4 months left.

lets all jump for joy! :)

it has only been 2 weeks and i'm already feeling more comfortable. 

shampooing people's heads is my forte.

in about 3 months i should be able to trim some hair and actually get my hands in to the whole thing.

wish me luck! 

a very merry christmas

what a fabulous christmas i had.

we had a union suit christmas eve..

woke up to gifts from santa, mrs. clause, rudolf, the elves. you know, that whole gang.

watched these cute kids open presents of all sorts.

 

and i got to skype with landon. 

yep, skype.

it feels as if it was a dream. 

seeing his face, i know it sounds cheesy, but it was completely divine. 

to the best missionary in the world-i love you!

i hope your christmas was just as merry and bright.

ready or not..

every year this is what my wrapping corner looks like

now the present are wrapped and snug under the tree

 mostly newspaper and fabrics were used this year. 

{thanks jane for this great idea}

then i found these cute christmas tags from here.

ready or not, christmas is here! 

xoxo.
