i'm captivated by you baby, like a fireworks show ♥

okay wow i haven't been on here since january 2011 what
 
sorry guys. i totally neglected polyvore. my junior year was super tough, especially the last half, hence why i left. without notice. :x and the first half of my senior year was pretty tough, but now i'm in the home stretch and i graduate on may 17th! hell yeah!
 
i'm going to be attending murray state university to major in pre-veterinary medicine. :]
 
so from now 'til graduation, idk how much i'll be on. but this summer i should be on a lot! i'm super excited for summer, hence why i made a summery set lol i know it's pretty blah, but i haven't made a set in fifteen months. so please forgive me. xD

this set was inspired by the lovely @katrinaballerina. :] http://www.polyvore.com/hacked_katrina_hearts/set?id=41909219 fave her set!
 
today was a snow day for me. yay. =] the first one of the season which is very unusual for us. last year we had already had around eight by this time. hopefully there are many more to come. we are allowed to miss six before we have to make them up.
 
so i'm pretty excited for this now four day weekend. i'm going out with my friends tomorrow and then going to nashville sunday with my parents to celebrate my mom's birthday. we're going to shop then go out to dinner.
 
i hope you guys have a wonderful weekend too! :] hope you like this set, i haven't done a layered set in a while. i really love kate middleton's outfit in this picture. :]

i decided to make a quick background using this very nice template :]
 
these are just things i admire or like. it pretty well describes me. c:
 
edit: decided to change it up since it's been a couple years! :)

i've been really busy these past few days, but i hope all of you had a merry christmas and you have a happy new year. :]
 
i got a ton of clothes for christmas that i ordered online, but it was still a surprise when i opened them cause i had only seen a picture of it online. i also got sims 3 pets ;D and some room decor because i am in the process of redoing my room.
 
oh and did i mention i got a cat? xD i got him before christmas, but it still counts. i adopted him from our local shelter. he's seven, the same age as our other cat, and he's deaf. he is snow white and has two blue eyes. i named him ari. :3 but i call him sparta. xD it's kind of weird actually. he resembles the cat on the shirt in my last set and that was before i had ever seen him.
 
i know this set is pretty christmas-y as far as the deer and lights go, but it has been in my drafts since before christmas, i just never got around to finishing it until now. :3

i am so glad to be on christmas break. this time between thanksgiving and christmas was crunch time. i aced my finals though. so i'm pretty happy about that. :] got a perfect score on my business final and spanish II final. woo!
 
i'm going shopping tomorrow afternoon and all day monday. i cannot wait. i haven't even started shopping yet. i never start until christmas break because i never have time until then.
 
i'm not really sure what to get my parents besides the few things they told me they wanted. i usually surprise them with a few things. they're the only people i shop for besides my friends.
 
i love winter and i really wish it would snow soon. this time last year it had already snowed where i live. and we had a white christmas. which we never have.
 
this is the first set i've ever made in this format, but i quite like it. its different i guess. but i love that shirt. maybe because i love cats. :3
 
i hope to make quite a few sets on the break, i know i always say that, but i literally have nothing to do besides shop and bake. i love making christmas cookies and such. c: and i've been making tons of cake pops lately. i make them in batches of fifty and i could not even tell you how many i've made. so i'm definitely going to make a ton of those because they are so easy to make. :] they make great gifts too.
 
i would appreciate feedback on this set, negative or positive. and also if i should make more like this or not.
 
i'm going to go listen to john mayer again because i am obsessed with his music lately even though i really don't like him at all. i hope you guys have a wonderful winter break and did well on all of your finals!

i hope you guys have a wonderful thanksgiving tomorrow! i spent the day doing pretty much nothing. just tumblin' and baking some pumpkin muffins.
 
sorry i haven't made a set in a month. :/ i was pretty busy with school and my 'social' life. i got my license. :] so that's cool. i'm just glad i'm on thanksgiving break though. i had so much school stuff due yesterday. like my gsp application. and i had a lot of tests. meh. i'm ready to be a senior.
 
OH. and i went to see taylor swift a few weeks ago omg it was amazing. like i have no words. she's so humble. and awestruck. i took a ton of pictures. my mom is mad because i'm already asking for more tickets for christmas. xD if you guys haven't seen her in concert yet, it is so worth it. GO SEE HER. the whole show is like a broadway show. she has aerialists and dancers and everything. and halfway through she sings on this platform and i was like 10 ft from her omg.
 
so i'm happyyyy. i will probably make another set while i'm off on break. tomorrow i have to bake a sweet potato casserole and a pumpkin cheesecake and pecan pie bars. whew.
 
so i hope you guys like this autumn-y set with taylor swift representin' ;D ♥
 
i'm going to go play zoo tycoon now kbye x]

longgg time no see! i haven't made a set in forever. i've been really busy since school and marching band started, so i haven't been on here much. and i've had no inspiration for sets or much less the motivation to make one haha
 
so marching band ends this next weekend and i get my license this week! :] i'm going to miss band though. i love it. next year is my last year. D;
 
this weekend will be amazing but i probably won't have another chance to make a set for a while. school and band all week, then state semi-finals/finals (!!!!!!) and then on sunday i'm going to a taylor swift concert! and it's far away from me so i get to skip school the next day. ;D
 
hope you like this set, i love the outfit and pictures. i'd totally wear it. i love fall fashion. last year i took a pretty long break around this time and barely got to make any fall sets. so hopefully this will be the first of many. then winter! ;]

wow, i haven't been on here in forever! i had a pretty busy july. after we came home from florida, i had a week 'off' then i started band camp for two weeks. it was exhausting. had another week 'off' which i spent off the computer, then started school this past tuesday. here's my schedule if you guys are interested:
1st - fashion design & business
2nd - calculus
3rd - ap us history
4th - ap english
5th & 6th - equine science, next semester ap biology
7th - spanish 2
8th - band
 
yeah, 3 ap classes. i only have 2 now and its hard enough and i've only been in school a few days. already bombarded with homework. in case you are wondering about the equine/fashion thing, i can't decide whether i want to go into veterinary science or fashion design/business. so i'm just taking as many ap classes as i can, as well as electives that relate to both subjects. i'm a junior, btw.
 
anyway, i'm sorry for my absence! i still won't be on much though. just weekends. i have band after school from 3-6 and then i hang out with my friends and do homework and go to bed. but i hope to come on when i don't have band (wednesdays & sundays) :]
 
i might even make a set tomorrow if i have time, to make up for the lack of sets in the past month. i have to start reading the scarlet letter though. and read part of my us history book.
 
i hope you like this set though, i decided to do a more colorful set since i haven't in a while. comment/fave please. thank youu! ♥

just....wow. harry potter was my childhood. i started reading the books in 2002 when my teacher read harry potter & the philosopher's stone to us.
 
i'm going to be bawling my eyes out when i see the movie. all of our theaters are sold out, so i can't go tomorrow night, but i'm going to go see it as soon as i can.
 
if you are going to insult hp, just leave. i don't care what you think.
 
emma watson is my role model. she's brilliant. ♥
 
sorry for my rambling. but this series means so much to me. :] i just had to dedicate a set to it. well, to emma. haha. i love rupert and daniel too though. they are adorable. i'll probably make a set with them in the next few days. (: i seriously want a british boyfriend. all the guys where i live are rednecks. bleh. transportmetherenowplease.
 
anyways, life has been pretty boring lately. got home from vacation saturday. caught up on stuff on sunday. went to the dentist monday and went shopping then came home and made cookies for my grandparents and great aunt & uncle. also made little personalized gift boxes for them. (: tuesday, ate lunch with them and my mom and then they came to my house and i gave them the cookies. and it came a downpour. and stormed. i love stormsss. oh, and my mom made a coconut cake and we gave them some. (can you tell we love to bake?!) and then today i did pretty much nothing. i read a lot (currently reading banana splitsville, then i'm going to read the new PLL book, twisted. i got it monday. =] and then shania twain's book i got ;D) and i stayed on here a lot and i rode my horse. then i had to help my dad saw up a tree that fell on the fence in our horses' pasture from the storm yesterday. fun. xD
 
soooo i hope you like this set. (: i do, i think. xD haha. comment/fave pleasee. thank youu!

so as you guys might know, i went on vacation all last week =] i went with my family and we stayed in rosemary beach, florida. we've been staying in seaside for the past 5 years, but rosemary was only about 8 miles away from seaside so we decided to try staying there. we needed a change. but i biked/walked to seaside almost everyday because i love it there so much. talk about being sweaty! haha
 
as you can see, i've included pictures from my trip. i took a lottttt, but i'm not putting them all on here.
 
the top left picture is just a pretty house in rosemary. =] rosemary is so beautiful. it is a quaint little town and it is like a mini replica of spain.
 
the picture beside it is the entrance to the coquina pool. so pretty! the picture below the house porch is the entrance to the barbados pool. also neat. =] the actual pools were pretty packed so i'm not uploading any pictures of them.
 
the picture beside the barbados pool is an awesome ny&c store in pier park. pier park is in panama city beach and it is super cool. it's an outdoor mall with a ton of restaurants and ice cream shops and stores. you've probably heard of it before. xP
 
then the pic below that is me lol this was taken in alys beach at the entrance to the town inside those cute little white things. haha :] i was wearing a cami from charlotte russe, hollister skirt, and on stage wedges. and beside that pic is me at the rosemary beach sign. xD
 
above the pic of me standing by the sign is another shot from pier park, a starbucks. =] then beside that is the cutest photo booth EVER!! that was in seaside. and above that is a pic i stole from the rosemary beach site. tehe :P
 
so i hope you enjoyed me rambling on in this blog. haha. thanks for reading! (: ♥ i might make a fashion set later!
