Button, Shoes, Black Friday Ad, Oh My!

Happy Thursday! I want to show you some of the things I have bought lately and show off my new button!

As you can see, I have been doing small makeovers to the blog lately. I feel like I keep learning new things and I like to add them as I go. One of my blogger friend's Dayna had a friend who showed how to make your own blog button. I was very excited because I have always wanted to have one, but didn't know how. So now that I have a button, I want to share it with you all. If you want to swap buttons I would love to add yours in return :) Please leave me a comment if you are interested in swapping!


I also wanted to show you the shoes I bought last week!
Some of you may think they are a little different, but I love them
I found them at TJ Maxx, my favorite store

I also bought this cute elephant plaque (roll tide) from TheOwlsHollow
you can find their Etsy shop here

Walmart released their Black Friday Ad last night!
You can check it out here
I cannot wait to go black friday shopping!!

If you have any other blogger advice I would love to hear it!
Make sure to grab my button and leave a comment so I can get yours! 
Have a great day! :)

One Lovely Blog Award

Last week I was honored to receive the "One Lovely Blog" award from Life with Elizabeth! I am supposed to share 7 facts about myself and then pass on to 15 other lovely blogs!
1. I love to decorate and plan for parties. I love when someone in my family or friends have a birthday because I like to go all out! I would love to plan parties for a living!
Emily's Princess Party
Jake's Farm Party
Super Bowl Party: Saints vs. Colts
My birthday party with family
Bama gameday party
2. I want to open my own bakery. Since I have been decorating cakes and cupcakes I would love to open my own shop. I know this will not happen anytime soon, but it's ok to dream :)

3. For the next 3 weeks I will be employed as a transfer advisor at a community college, but since the job is based on a grant and it will end in the next few weeks, I will then be unemployed :( I have really enjoyed this job and hopefully I will be able to find one like it very soon!

4. I am obsessed with elephants! While attending school at the University of Alabama I would buy stuffed elephants and now I have a large collection. Here is the latest one from my Easter basket! He is sooo cute :)

5. I am excited that May is just around the corner! May is one of my most favorite months besides December because it always means school is getting out, summer is approaching and last but not least... My Birthday!!! Yesterday, actually was a month until my birthday and I forgot to post about it. I take birthdays very serious. haha If I could I would most definitely celebrate all month long! I did come up with celebrating "birthday eve" :)

6. I am a tv addict. Living away from friends and family this past year has been a little bit lonely so I consoled myself with tv shows. Each night I would have certain ones to watch to make the time go by faster. I just recently started watching The Vampire Diaries and love it! A few shows I could never get enough of are.. Friends, Sex & the City, The Hills, Grey's Anatomy, The Bachelor, One Tree Hill and several more. 

7. I am obsessed with bows! I don't necessarily wear them in my hair, but I really do like them. My friends have bought me rings, necklaces, shirts, etc adorned with bows. I posted my new sunglasses that have bows on the side here.  I recently found a pair I want to get from Sick For Cute: 
Now I get to pass this along to 15 other amazing blogs!
