Hallie, thank you so much!!!!!

Last night I received a lovely box from my ornament swap partner, Hallie! We joined the Natural Suburbia ornament swap at the beginning of October and oh my goodness these snow men are just darling!!! I have a slight obsession with knickknacks and quirky little things so I have a feeling these little guys will find a home all year round out on display instead of being packed away when the winter ends.

I love all the wonderful things you can do with wood!!! This reminded me of some earrings I wanted to make. I picked up a pair of pink wooden star earrings probably a year or two ago. I don't remember where but I believe I bought them mostly because I wanted to recreate them.

I'm starting to doubt I'll be able to come up with the balance I need for school. I'm extremely bummed out about it and I really don't want to spend another winter with nothing to do...it seems whenever I try to move forward with my life I get pushed back a few feet. I'm supposed to start in 12 days. Unless I get a miracle, I'll be spending a lot of time twirling my thumbs hoping my case will settle. I wish I could work. I'm so sick of being in pain. I wish I had family that was supportive of me going back to school and would cosign loans for me. I'm surrounded by people who want and expect me to fail.

Man, if I ever needed a miracle...now would be a great time.

Happy Halloween!

Just a bit of how I looked this evening. It rained when I went out trick-or-treating with my little brother, Matt and mom so the make-up doesn't show well...oh well...
