Christmas Vignette

Don't worry, I'll be back later today with the 18th installment of Dressember {two posts in one day, wow}. First, I am participating in the Christmas Cheer Link Up over at A Thoughtful Place!

Not only do I get to hang out with lovely bloggers, but I get to feature my themed bedroom shelves (check out previous decor themes here, here, and here).

Today's theme is, obviously, "Christmas".

My favourite thing about these shelves is the fact that I can change them up whenever I want and however it suits me! Plus, this latest arrangement adds just the right amount of Christmas Cheer to my bedroom :)

Can't wait to see some of your entries!

Happy Tuesday and Merry Christmas!

12/8 {Springing Saturday}

So today's Dressember challenge is Springing Saturday, which basically means that you take a picture with both feet off the ground. Thanks to Brother, I was able to capture a springing moment {despite the cold . . .}.

And now for the proper Dressember photos . . .

Sweater: Gift // Scarf: Bargain Shop // Dress: Sewed
Tights: Shoppers Drug Mart // Boots: Bargain Shop

Here is your Week 1 recap :)

Happy Saturday!

12/1 {Dressember 2012}

First post of Dressember 2012! I am excited to begin this project although I may have to invest in more tights due to the extremely cold weather {-19 today}.

This dress I wore way back when I was a teenager. It was packed away in a box back home, but I dug it out when I went back this year. So comfy and bohemian.

Today, I am linking up with Joanna from ModaMama for her weekly Dressember link up!

Leave me the link in the comments below if you're participating in the challenge!

Fact Is . . .

At the Kaos 91.1 skate party on Sunday afternoon.

Morning, kudos to Nicholl at The Chiffon Diary for this linky party!
Here are the facts on this snowy Saturday morning.

Fact: I am getting really excited for my Halloween party on Wednesday. I hope it'll be super awesome and full of fun costumes.
Fact: Don't even ask me how many times I have listened to Taylor Swift's new CD Red. Don't even. No shame.
Fact: I often travel all by myself. I have flown by myself so many times, that the couple of times I have been with people, I didn't know what to do with myself. Do you make constant conversation? Do you sleep on each others' shoulders? What are the rules?
Fact: Tomorrow is a very special day on the blog *insert big, mischievous smile*.
Fact: The best three female roles in Broadway are as follows: Eponine from Les Miserables, Hodel from Fiddler on the Roof, and Christine from The Phantom of the Opera.
Fact: I miss playing classical music on big, grand pianos. However, I don't miss the amount of time and effort that went into piano.
Fact: I often sing very loudly when I am by myself at home, which is a lot during the day. Hopefully, the neighbours can't hear . . .
Fact: I love the snow. Sorry, but I do.

Little Letters

Fort McMurray is the prettiest in the fall. I'm in love with the changing trees.

I was going to link up with Emily from The Freckled Fox for her "Little Letters", but I don't think she's having that linky party today. Either way, kudos to her for the idea!

UPDATE: Linky party was on Thursday. Whups, my bad!

Dear September: Where did you go? First semester is almost halfway over...
Dear Once Upon A Time: You were everything I hoped and nothing like I expected. Best episode yet!
Dear J. K. Rowling Book: You are a grave disappointment. Expect a full blogpost book review soon.
Dear Final Exam: You are NEXT WEEK!?!?! Um, what!?!?! Surrender flag being raised now.
Dear Sister: Happy travels as you're off to the Amazon. Love you.
Dear New Taylor Swift Songs Begin Again and Red: Love, love, love. I am so excited for October 22nd!
Dear Halloween: I am getting excited for costumes and the party I'm hosting :) Gotta love dressing up.
Dear Music Covers: ~~Occasionally~~ ~~Sometimes~~ Most of the time, I like you better than original music. Whups.
Dear Thanksgiving: I hope you are filled in an incessant amount of turkey, pumpkin pie, football, friends, and laughter {oh, and of course, studying}.

Happy Wednesday!

Friday's Letters

Check out this picture I took on Saturday night.

This is what happens when I actually brush my hair.

Brother said I looked like "that red-headed girl from Brave", which prompted me
to go around in a Scottish accent saying, "I'll be shooting for me own hand".

Anyways, today I am participating in Friday's Letters featured by Ashley from Adventures of Newlyweds. I've been wanting to do this for awhile now, so here goes . . . .

Dear Labour Day Weekend: You were a wonderful time that prepared me to go back to school. Dear Once Upon A Time DVD Series: You are an amazing solution to a show that doesn't begin until October 30th. I am learning so much that I didn't pick up the first time around :) Dear Autumn: You are my favourite season. I love boots and scarves and hot chocolate and falling leaves and crisp mornings and pumpkin spice lattes and coziness. Dear Flaxee: YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED TOMORROW! How awesome is that? I am so excited to see you start this new chapter of your life. Dear First Week of School: You have been a lot less scary than I originally mentally prepared myself for. I have a really good feeling about this year. Dear Traveling: Please be nice to me. This is a record fast trip for me, and I don't do well being rushed. Dear Young Adults Group: I love just being around all of you. That is all. Dear Tuition: My bank account and you don't get along very well. In the future, please refrain from robbing me. Dear Blog: I am starting to get in the swing of things without the 365 photo a day challenge. I think posting every other day {with a few extras} is working out quite nicely for us. Dear Meal Planning: I want to figure out how to incorporate you into my life. Dear Lord: Thank you for grace.

So excited to read some of the other Friday's Letters. Happy weekend! I'm off to Crowsnest Pass ♥

Today in church, we talked about living with the presence of God in us instead of doing it by our own structures and methods. Perfect reminder for going back to school. What did you learn in church today?
