Getting Ready!!!

We have been running a muck getting ready for this Disney Cruise in 17 days!  :)  So, the best way I know to showcase this is of course with my nails!

From last week.  LOVE this look!  So very Mickey Mouse! 
This was easy and FUN!

AND, Jake's Autograph book is now ready too!
This turned out so great! I hope it works out for the characters too!
I made it with 4x6 white card stock inside so I can take those pieces and put them in our big scrapbook, and will use this cover to make Jake one for him so he can take it to school and show his friends! 
I did this with my Cricut and old stash paper from CM from ages ago!
I sure do wish CM would do Disney again, I miss that!
 

AND, this week, I went with the whole cast of Characters!

Christmas is coming!!!

So, we had a successful Black Friday to Cyber Monday weekend!  We got most of our family shopping finished, and are really knocking out the gift list this week as well!  This will leave us more time to shop for Jake and each other, and to plan and attend parties!

We have several things going in December, so I'm glad we had an Extra Week of Christmas Time this year!  Really gets me in a festive mood!  So to start things off, we decorated the Christmas Tree!

Jake did so AWESOME with the tree!

I got some non-breakable ornaments set out for him, and HE LOVED putting them on the Christmas Tree!  It was a complete DREAM come TRUE!  Watchin his eyes light up with each ornament i handed him!  He is DEFINATELY MY BOY!

 

The finished Tree - YES!  Started on Wednesday before Thanksgiving and finished on Sunday!

 

Saturday, we went to the Galleria, i'll have to add the pics I took of the tree later, but here is a "good" one of the three of us.  :)

 

Once we got our tree finished, we celebrated AGAIN with open mouths AAAAAAAAAAH! 

That's our boy!

 

I'm also working on decorating my finger nails, of course, what do ya think?

AND, since my work Holiday Lunch party this year is western theme, I made myself a hat to wear!

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 

 

Growing Boy and other things...

So, I've made Jake a costume, it's really cuted!  Jake is going to be, well, JAKE from Disney's Jake and the Neverland Pirates!  LOVE THIS CARTOON!!!

Just a hint as to what we will look like this Halloween!

Anyway, I can't wait!!!  Except, for one thing.  I made these really cute "boot covers" to make Jake's Ropers look like pirate boots.  Well, he has grown out of them THIS WEEK!  Oh well.  We will make do with some other Brown shoes!

Halloween is less than a week away!  And, I've had a bit of fun with my nails!  YEY!

Candy Corn nails with Matte About You top coat from Essie!  Sweet!!

 

Frankenstein!  What fun!  My ring finger got messed up so i'm doing it again, so Mr. Thumb is hiding him for me. :)

 

What are YOU going to be for Halloween???

 

For that Polished Look

I have found a new love in my life!  Nail Polish!  Yes, silly, I know, but I have been experimenting with my toe nail polish since my mother MADE me go to get a pedicure a few months ago. 

And, I've also started doing my fingers as well!!  I have not recently liked having my finger nails painted, feels weird to me, but they look so cool now!  With all the AWESOME pinterest ideas on what you can do with nail polish, I had to try a few things. 

So, I played around a little yesterday:

Saw this R2D2 idea on pinterest, said I can do that! So I did.

And this is all it took to get that look!

Then, I spotted this polish at CVS, had to try it, it's AWESOME!

Sally Hanson Magnetic Nail Polish - in Polar Purple

This is so cool!  It looks different at every angle!

I also tried the crackle stuff (from OPI).  Gold over Black polish

Looks really kinda cool!

I wasn't going purple this time, just wanted to try that polish, so I ended up with this, which I do love:

So, sticking with the Star Wars Theme, since Celebration VI is just around the corner, I used Revlon's Carbonite on my toes -with Star Wars written on my Big Toes with a Sally Hanson polish pen.

I Love it!  What have you done with your nail polish?!?!?
