Irrisistibly Chic Test Post

Hello Renee! This is a test post.

3 things that make me happy

Firstly, I am really excited about my new challenge! Hopefully I'll stay excited, right? :)

Secondly, my new picture wall! I was at D.J.'s house, and she has a wall full of pictures in her room, and I thought it was so cool! So right away I gathered all my favorite pictures, and had them printed! I got them from Snapfish, and I found a 50% off coupon, so I only ended up paying $10! Whoot-whoot! :) So here it is:

I have 14 beautiful pictures on my wall now, and it makes me so happy! 

I can't decide on my favorite...

I really love the one of Joelle and I {the middle one}, but I also love the puppy mug! The awkward tree picture shows all of our personalities, and I love the one of Joelle and I holding hands... It's too hard to pick my favorite!!! Do you have a favorite?

I was counting my pictures, and realized that I was missing one... I looked around, and found it!

I'll put it underneath the birdie and beside the picture of Joelle and I :) I can't believe I missed this one! It's definitely one of my favorites :) I made this wall so that I can always add pictures! I will change out the winter pictures with all the other different seasons! Some of the pictures will stay up year-round though.

Thirdly, I found this on someones blog {can't remember who's...}, and I loved it! I went to Barnes and Noble that day and snatched it up! I decided to wait a few days and start it on January 1st. It's a beautiful 5 year Q and A journal!

It's tiny too! It's a little smaller than my hand, but I absolutely love it!

It has beautiful gold-lined pages!

Everyday there is a new question...

 If you could go back in time and change something, what would it be?

What is YOUR mission?

What makes you happy?

From Snowy to Slushy

Yucky, yucky, yucky. Snow is great, but NOT in October! I'm supposed to be raking leaves, not making snow angels! Gah.

 {BTW, I didn't go play in the snow. I am not a real 'play-in-the-snow kind of person'}

 It was so weird to see the beautifully colored leaves covered in snow...

 I was afraid that this tree was going to snap! Lots of tress around here were bending down really far...

 I thought the blue scarf looked cool against the white!

 Oliver was cold today {he got a trim on Wednesday}, so we covered him up nicely in his blankets {Are we crazy or what???} :)

And the snow finally stopped, the temperature went up, and snow started melting!

 Hallelujah!

I saw this beautiful leaf while I was walking with Oliver, and it was too cool not to take a picture of!

 {both SOOC, BTW. Actually, all these pictures are}

Today's newspaper said 'First October flakes in Valley since 1979 Fall'... It has flurried since then, but nothing that amounted to anything.

I hope this snow goes ALL away soon! It came way too soon! I like snow, but only when it's Winter, and when it's actually snowing, but I don't like it once it stops snowing. Weird, huh?

When packages come in the mail

Here's a little secret for ya:

Yes, I have been cooking something up, and no one {except for Kathryn and my family :)} knows about it :) Until now of course... Yes! I'm making a business! I've been busily working for weeks on a new site, Facebook page, and everything! But you'll just have to wait to see it :)

 Isn't it so beautiful? I am SO pleased with Moo! I will never order business cards from anywhere else! Seriously, the date I was told my cards would come in was October 27th, and I got them October 20th! I ordered them October 13th! They got here SO fast!

Eep! There they are!

I used one of Moo's options called Printfinity, where you can upload up to 50 different images and they all have the same back! So that's what I did! I got 8 different pictures, with my logo on the back!

 What do you think?

Haha! I've made my new site private so you can't see it! *evil grin* I will post as soon as it's ready! 

Ooooh, I looooove business cards :D

Isn't it magnificent?

We went out this afternoon to Riven Rock to scout out a location for our family picture {hoping to get it done one Sunday!} and I found the perfect spot! But first, isn't God's creation simply breathtaking?

And Joelle is too cute:

I had mom looking the other way, so I could stand in the middle of the road. I'm so glad I did, because I love these pictures!!! Especially the second one :)

And here's our family picture spot!

Hopefully it won't be rainy/too sunny, and the leaves will be dry!
