Kizzy 365

I was really inspired by this post on the etsy blog this past week to start a project for myself. A lot of you bloggers are doing 365 projects where you take a photo a day for a year. Since I'm no photographer, I wanted to do something a little bit easier. If you haven't noticed, I love taking photos of my cat. She is so photogenic! Since I already take tons of photos of her anyway why not challenge myself to take a new photo of her each day and post it? That's what I'm going to do. Yes, I'm a little late starting on January 1st but I'm still going to do it... starting today! I created another blog to keep track of each photo so I don't bore or annoy you every day. I'm sure a lot of you do not care to see a new picture of my cat everyday. I don't blame you! (although she is the cutest cat in the world!)

I'm doing this project because I want an ongoing project that will keep me consistent and that will help me become more comfortable with my camera.

I'm calling this project Kizzy 365 and I have made a tab at the top for you to click to go to the blog of the project. You can follow me but I won't care if you don't. It's a project for myself really. Although... of course I wouldn't mind comments once in awhile :) :)

a few Christmas details

Just a few glimpses into our Christmas this year. Hope you had as nice of a Christmas as we did!

Happy Monday!

Whew! What a busy weekend it was! After sleeping on a dorm floor Friday night, that extra hour on Saturday couldn't have come at a better time! We had a great weekend but unfortunately I didn't take any pictures! I did notice when we got home how pretty and orange the tree in our backyard had gotten! I love this tree! The orange color reflects into our dining room. So pretty!

The Big Daddy Weave, Aaron Shust & Andy Kirk show Saturday night was really fun! I especially liked Aaron Shust's set. By the time Big Daddy Weave came out the weekend started catching up to me. I ended up sitting down half of their set. I still enjoyed it though! Big Daddy Weave even retweeted my tweet after the show! :)

This is totally random but it was too funny not to share. Sometimes when Seth takes off his socks for the night he will throw them across the room so they are at least near the hamper. A few nights ago he had done this not paying any attention to where it landed. A few minutes later I got out of the bed and saw that we had some new wall decor. I couldn't stop laughing and when Seth saw what I was laughing at we grabbed the camera to take a picture to prove that it had in fact attached itself to the wall! I left it there for a day until I needed to get the laundry done. I couldn't leave his other sock without a match!

Hey Big Shot

Right after I published my last post a friend told us to go to a house that was selling some vintage cameras. Seth found this camera called "Big Shot." It made us laugh so we had to buy it. I think it is Seth's favorite find of the day!

Weekend in Pictures

This weekend has been sooo nice! The weather has been beautiful & my allergies haven't been acting up. Saturday morning we woke up and headed out to an auction. At first it didn't seem like there was a lot but after looking harder we found some pretty awesome deals!

Seth got a tackle box full of fishing gear & I got a mirror with hooks. You know how auctioneers like to clump junk into groups so when you bid on one thing you get a ton of junk as well? We got one of those, however it turned out better than I thought! I just wanted the mirror with the hooks but he also included a flashlight and a super ugly owl wall hanging. This giant frame was holding a red velvety material with the owl glued to the center. I just laughed when we won it but after looking at it some more I decided to punch out the velvety center and tear off the owl. The owl almost matches another wall owl that I bought a couple weeks ago at a garage sale. Just painted differently and is facing the opposite direction. Awesome! So now I have a pretty frame that can be painted and an owl to match my other owl!

I found this lacy table cloth for 50 cents at a garage sale. I'm not sure if I will keep it there or use the material for something else.

The ugly to awesome owl hanging & the lacy table cloth weren't the best deals of the day though! We got this kitchen island for $13! It looks like it was hardly used. We only had to scrub some dirt off the top. Seth looked the same island up online and found it for sale for $119 at Walmart... awesome deal!!

See my awesome tea towels from Jamie?? :)

I wore my awesome fabric covered button earrings from Vividot that I won over at the our.city.lights blog to church today! I also have 2 other pairs of earrings and 2 rings. She also threw in extra buttons and a keychain! Every piece is sooo pretty! If you haven't already you must check out her shop!

A couple pictures from church.

After church we drove to Columbia for lunch at Olive Garden & to meet up with Jill & Jacob and their cute little daughter at Barnes & Noble. (By the way I don't really ride like that. I just put my feet up for the photo! :) )

I also want to let you know that I am now a contributor to The Nocturnal Nest blog. If you are an owl lover you must check out this blog for your owl fix!

How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun?
