I guess everyone hates my favorite winter jacket because I got THREE new ones over the holiday.  No complaints, but HINT TAKEN.  Doesn't mean I'm not gonna still wear it, though.  😛

[My favorite coat is the one I have to tape shut. Has holes in it from puppies. Stained. I love that damn thing.]

I feel pretty accomplished.

I feel pretty accomplished.  Despite the fact that I am exhausted (woo, holidays!), I finished a necklace for one of my best friends.  Might not seem like much, but I made the stone in August of 2014... so it's been over a year that I've been "working on it."  LOL

One of the major hold-ups was the chain - metal bothers her skin, so I had to do something different from my usual for her.  I ended up grabbing several colors of these rubber cord things and she picked the purple / gray one.  I had gray, a blue / gray, and also black, but not surprisingly, she chose the more odd color.  This stone does include a purple / pink shimmery polish in it, but it doesn't show in every light.  The cording is also weird because the purple in it doesn't always show.  I got a few pics in different lighting to try to show that.

All in all I think it kind of oddly works together.  I probably would have put it on the gray or black if it was my choice, but I'm boring and Laurel is not, so that's ok.  As long as she likes it I'm totally happy, too.  😃

So that's one down - I have one more to go!  I'm hoping to finish Emily's in the next few days.  I'm trying to complete what projects I can before school starts back!  😃

I really wanted to do some holiday nails, but tragedy struck when my thumbnail met the doorknob. It broke off down beyond the quick and not only does it hurt - it's ugly, too! Then, while attempting to work on some jewelry I slipped and sliced the same thumb with pliers - right near the cuticle. It is a very sad thumb. I think a band-aid and bed-rest are in order!

I usually don't post holiday greetings, but I like this too much.  😃

Emma's face can make me laugh until I cry.

Emma's face can make me laugh until I cry. She has the best face ever. 😃

Either I'm jolly today...

Either I'm jolly today, or the internet is funnier than usual.  I just laughed SO HARD at this.

Is this what relaxed feels like?  😳  I must have forgotten!

I cut loose this weekend.

I cut loose this weekend.  I drank TWO Vanilla Lime Dr. Pepper's from Sonic, we watched American Ultra (which was awesome), and oh yeah - I did my freakin' nails!  I'm a happy girl!  🙂

I know these are far from the most impressive nails I've ever done, but I REALLY REALLY wanted to use the awesome flaky polish that I bought myself for my birthday.  It's Ferris Wheel by ILNP and it's BEAUTIFUL.  Also, check out the foil stamping polish - it pops over black!  So excited!  *-*

These were meant to be celebratory nails - Woo for finishing a year of college!  I guess they would also work for New Years.  Didn't mean to skip right over Christmas, but I have a few days left yet.  😉
