Tub of Beads

I have SO many beads!  I had a bunch from old pearl necklaces and then I bought even more!  They are for a couple projects that I hope to get started on soon, but I don't know.  I have SO many projects I want to finish before Christmas!  I thought Tarcil looked so cute sitting in the tub of shimmering beads!  I love that little hammy!  :)

Sewing Machine

My sister let me borrow her sewing machine for a few projects that I had.  It has been such a blessing!  I almost finished all of my projects, and I am already thinking up more projects to start!  I just love making things soooooo much!  Tarcil enjoyed exploring the sewing machine to figure out how it works.  I don't think he understands, but he sure is cute!  :)

More Holiday Dog Toys

Beren has a lot of toys!  He LOVES the rope one!  He tosses it around and growls at it.  I always appreciate when he plays by himself, even if it does get a little rambunctious!  Anyways, enough about Beren.  Tarcil looks so cute!  He is quite a happy little guy, even if he isn't getting new toys every week.  Haha!  :)

Holiday Dog Toys

I found these weird dog toys for a great price for the holidays!  They seem to be sturdy toys that will be able to withstand my puppy's playing and chewing habits.  He is in the stage where he rips open the soft stuffed toys and spreads the stuffing all over the room.  So, I am slowing replacing the destroyed toys with ones like these.  I hope Beren likes them!  

Lauren Daigle CD

Today is a day when many people rush to the stores to buy discounted items.  Well, if you are one of those many people, you should make sure you grab this CD by Lauren Daigle called How Can It Be.  She is so incredibly talented!  I picked up this copy from Family Christian Store for $5!  :)

Turkey

Happy Thanksgiving!  Tarcil is my little turkey!  Isn't he so cute?!?!  He found some food to stuff in his cheeks so he is feeling very happy and thankful!  What are you thankful for?  

Pilgrim

Tarcil is getting ready for Thanksgiving by pretending to be a Pilgrim!  Haha!  It's too bad he can't help me in the kitchen with making food for tomorrow's festivities!  I do enjoying baking so it isn't too bad.  I just have  a lot to do!  I can't wait to spend time relaxing with family tomorrow!  :)

Tarcil Calendars!!!

Yesterday I mentioned that I have a fun announcement today.  So here it is!  I now have wall calendars available to order from Tarcil's gallery!  This means you can look at Tarcil's cute face all year round!  These calendars are completely customizable!  You get to design them using whichever pictures are your favorites!  There are over 100 pictures to choose from!  Below are some of my favorite pictures that made it into my calendar.  :)  I can't wait to see what you guys create!  You can make your own wall calendar by going to Tarcil's gallery at: http://www.rachelwilhelmphotography.com/tarcil.  These would make fun gifts for friends and family too!  :)

Creeping Around the Floor

Tarcil is creeping around the floor as if he is trying to hide from something.  I think that something is Monday.  I think everyone is trying to hide from Monday, but that isn't changing the fact that Monday is here.  Happy Monday everyone!  Haha!  :)  In case reminding you it's Monday isn't helping you get through your Monday, I will tell you that I have a fun announcement tomorrow that you can look forward to!  :)

Chillin on Couch

Tarcil knows that Saturdays are meant for chillin on the couch.  What I don't think he knows is just how cute his is when he is chillin on the couch!!  He is seriously so adorable!!  :)

I also want to give a shout out to my brother!  Happy Birthday!  :)

Munching

Tarcil loves munchin on his yummy food!  Although, I don't usually see him eating his food.  He likes to pouch it and save it for later.  Normally, I will just hear him at random times during the day munchin on the food he has stored up.  It makes my heart happy whenever I hear him munchin!  

Smart Dog Toy

And we are officially back to me spoiling my pets.  :)  I got this ball for Beren.  It has a hole where you can add food or treats that then fall out from movement.  Beren figured out quickly to roll the ball around to get his food.  He loves it!  However, he tends to get upset when it is close to being empty, and it gets harder to get anything out.  He growls at it and throws it through the air instead of just using his paw to roll it around.  Haha!  I think he has anger issues.  :)

New Jacket

So to follow this new trend of actually buying things for myself, I got myself a new jacket!  I love it!  It is the perfect mix of casual and dressy, and its nice and warm!  Not to get too deep and personal, but this time of year is so hard on me (August through November have the anniversaries of a lot of my loved ones that have passed away) that I think I cope by spoiling myself with new stuff.  Anyways, Tarcil likes the warm snugly pockets in my jacket.  :)

New Shirts for the Winter

So I apparently have a weakness for buying new clothes if they are only about $6 each.  Haha.  Now that it is getting colder, I am wearing long sleeves and sweaters, but I noticed that I don't have many left since I apparently got rid of a bunch after last winter.  (I have a vague memory of sorting my closet when we were getting ready to move and then donating bags of clothes, but the whole process of moving was so crazy that I nearly forgot that I did that.)  I am not upset that I had to buy more due to getting rid of what I had.  I didn't wear the others enough to feel justified having them take up so much space in my closet.  So I call this a win win!  Haha!  

Nail Polish

I don't normally spend much money on myself.  I have never been very stylish or up to date on trends, but every once in a while, I decide to do something fun and spontaneous for myself.  This time, I bought some  nail polish.  Of course I bought the cheapest I could find, but I don't mind because it still does the job and I really like it!  :)

Wreath

I finally got a wreath and a hanger for my door!  I feel all fancy now!  Haha!  Tarcil likes it because he can nibble on it.  :)

Food

I think Tarcil's favorite thing to do is to stuff his face with food.  I think he is a wise little guy.  I like his style.  Hahahaha!  :)

Arbonne Sampler

I recently started using Arbonne's FC5 shampoo and conditioner and I love it!  A sweet friend of mine bought me this sampler so I could try out the other products in the FC5 line!  I can't wait!!  :)
