Happy Birthday Sister!

 

She's caring, nurturing, & the best cook in the WORLD! Her house looks like Martha Stewart or Nate Berkus(whom ever you prefer) came through & fixed it all up. Just because she's in Ohio, she's still a sassy southern belle! She's a precious wife & a momma to two sweet cocker spaniels!

 

 

She's my sister & bestfriend!

 

 

Happy Birthday pretty girl!

Y'all know I love any reason to celebrate! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to celebrate with my sister today. Come Monday--It will be a week full of FUN!

What I am loving

 

It's that day of the week again, halfway to FRIDAY! Time to share what I am loving this week!

 

Two of my classes are cancelled tomorrow! Thursdays are usually very busy days for me but not tomorrow! I plan on spending a little "me time". ( I've already got a date with the sale rack at Dillards!)

 

 

Loving these leopard flats at Target! You can never have too many leopard shoes. Super cheap & super cute. They aren't sold in stores so order them here.

 

 

 

 

 

90's temps all week? Who cares! It's time to get fall festive!! Check out these pumpkins. Glitter & chevron? FABULOUS! Time to get crafty...

 

 





& my favorite person to craft with=my sister! She's coming to town on MONDAY! (Yes, I'm like a kid at Christmas counting down the days)

 

 

 

 Most of you know, I'm totally hooked & Sunday can't come soon enough! So ready to be back in the Hamptons for some drama!

Several of my favorite blogs have done lots of posts about the Cameo! I did some research and I am IN LOVE! Wow! (Talk about a future teachers bestfriend) I've definitely added this one to the top of my Christmas list!

 

 

Have a good rest of the week. Friday can't be too far away!



Single's Day @ Kelly's Korner

Callie (left) & Courtney (right)

Hey, y'all!  I'm Callie, Courtney's older sister.  Today, I'm hijacking Courtney's blog!!!  It's about time that I step in and tell you about my fabulous sister!  Oh, and to the "single and ready to mingle" fellas...listen up!  I am linking Courtney up to Kelly's Korner for single's day.  So, let's get down to business...

First, as you have probably already realized from reading Courtney's blog, she is as cute. as. a. button.  This girl has style and class.  She is the perfect southern belle.  You may see her on the runway or at the grocery store.  Guaranteed, she will be dressed to the nines, from her gorgeous dark hair, all the way down to those perfectly pedicured toes.

But, don't be fooled, this Texas girl can kick it in the country, too! She likes to fish, hunt, and loves cook-outs.  Courtney is studying to be a teacher.  She keeps those kindergartners in line, all while providing cute, crafty art projects, in a fun learning environment.  

My sister has such a caring heart for the elderly.  She is the light of our grandparents' lives and keeps the humor and practical jokes flowing.  

With her fun personality and adventurous spirit, Courtney is a blast to be around!  She loves country music and knows just how to enjoy life and have a great time!  

Courtney loves Jesus, and if it's in His will, she's ready to find a special guy here on earth to love, too.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,

Callie

Art walk & A special Birthday

This month for Art walk I decided on a fall theme. The weather has been totally fabulous & fallish so it worked out perfect!

My precious Grannie picked lots of leaves off of her tree for me to use! (God bless that woman for always lending a helping hand) First I had the kids draw a tree trunk on their paper. Then we dipped the leaves in fall colored paint & stamped them around our tree. (I just had paper plates with paint in them for the leaf dipping. It wasn't too messy & the leaves turned out great) I got the leaf printing idea here. Of course to finish it off we added some GLITTER! The holidays are coming & you can never go wrong with a little sparkle.


On another note..Saturday was my Pa's birthday! We had a fabulous lunch at Perinis with family. If you are in the area, check it out! Trust me, your tummy will NOT be disappointed!

 

 

 

The weather this past weekend has me totally convinced Fall is pretty much here! I can even handle the mid 80s. As long as we aren't near the 100s I am HAPPY! ( & no..this fabulous sign is not in my yard, but it should be!) Another pinterest find..suprise?

I am also convinced I'm turning into the crazy weather lady. In other words-all I blog, tweet or talk about is these fabulous temperatures. (& the fact I wore my favorite brown boots this weekend!)





Have a blessed week y'all!

Fashion's Night Out

This past Thursday night all around the world it was Fashion's Night Out! Of course there was a fashion show with all the new fabulous trends, prizes/giveaways, food etc. If you're interested check it out here. I modeled in the fashion show for Dillards. They were going for a wild/"out of the box" look. So, they ratted us up some wild Texas hair and applied some heavy funky make up and we were ready for the runway. It was a fun experience, and a great excuse for some shopping!!

 

 

I told you...we looked pretty wild!!! Check out all the news trends at Dillards here.

 

How about the weather? (If you've been reading lately, you know..I'm ready for fall!) Cool weather just makes me smile a little bit more each day! Saturday, I was definitely grinning from ear to ear! It was in the mid 80's and so FABULOUS. The best is yet to come my friends.

 

Have a blessed week!



Dove Hunting

It's that time of year again and down here in the south, it's a day to celebrate. Opening day of Dove Season my friends. (for those of you offended by hunting, I wouldn't plan on coming to Texas) Dove season/football is just a weekend to celebrate & that is just what we did...

The hot day started out with Hunting!

Note: The dryer sheets. Rub the dryer sheet all over your arms and legs & keep it in your pocket and it will keep the mosquitos away. MYTH! It did NOT work for me. Several mosquito bites later & finding out we were hunting by a creek (breeding ground for those nastys!) ... I was back in the AC!

We had a dove hunting party that evening & cooked out!

& what's a dove hunting party without a camo theme?

 

 

How was your weekend? Are you big hunters/ football fans?

 

 

Since football season is here cold weather can't be too far behind! I'm not sure how much longer I can handle this Texas heat. Bring on the Fall weather! (Can I get an Amen?!?)  Next update: Dillards Fashion show
