Some of today's Five Friday Favorites go back a little more than a week, since I'm playing catch-up here on TSL. But it's nice to be back into the rhythm of blogging again, now that I have rejuvenated my creative juices!
1. My apartment complex is doing a Halloween porch decorating contest, and I'm trying to win! Since I started decorating though, several other porches have stepped up their game, and since I'm trying to keep mine as low-budget as possible I am going to have to get creative. Next week I'll be sharing my final porch design, so wish me luck as I add the finishing touches!
2. I started the Save the Date design process with Wedding Paper Divas after receiving my sample package in the mail, and I just got the email yesterday that they are being shipped. Eeepp! I'm so excited!
3. Last weekend, my parents flew out from Colorado to spend the weekend with my brother and I, creating their own parents weekend. (The university wide one is Halloween weekend, not sure who thought that would be a good idea!) We went to the game, my dad did his thing fixing a couple things in my apartment, and my kitty Berlioz loved having more people here to love on him!
4. I broke out my tripod and took a ton of outfit pictures that you'll see in the coming weeks on TSL. I finally felt all this outfit creativity coming to me, which was so nice! It helped that the light in my bedroom was just perfect for pictures... I find that when I'm using my tripod (inside, because I think my neighbors would think I was quite strange posing for my own pictures outside in my apartment complex) the light coming in from the windows has to be just right, otherwise they come out not so great.
5. We have, of course, started our second and final project of the semester in Studio 4. Not sure what direction I wanted to go with finishes, and because they look so different in person than they do on the computer, I ordered about 50 free samples through different companies. Some of my carpet samples came in, and they are certainly not sample-sized!! Holy cow! I could create a small rug with these guys! #CarpetSamplesForDays
Wishing a happy weekend to all my readers!
