Selling on Etsy?!

 I have decided in 2016 I will open an Etsy shop! I'm pretty excited. I love all things party planning, decorating, and creating. So it will be something along those lines. I've been busy working on new projects that I can't wait to take pictures of and share with everyone. Maybe this will help me organize my crafting clutter I have habiting the corner of my bedroom.. Small hoarder status (:
Thank you in advance to everyone who will partake in my beginning stages. I'm so excited to finally be making time for the things I enjoy most being crafty and sharing with everybody. Friends and family don't be shy to make a special requests I'll need a little practicing. Stay tuned for some more exciting things coming very soon!! Also some exciting news Copper's birthday is on Sunday and he will be turning two. I think I'll take him to the pet store to grab his favorite treat and snap a few pictures. ha Here's to exciting news!! CorinaH

Halloween 2015

Happy Halloween.
This Halloween I had to work sadly. So, copper didn't get to trick or treat in his costume but, I did have him model it around the house for me before work. Since I was going to be spending my afternoon at work I wanted to create something special for my coworkers. Warning!!!!  Walmart will be packed on Halloween although I thought so I wasn't expecting it to be that packed! Anyways I made candy bags placed them on a plate and wrapped them in black tape for a spooky effect and topped it with a spider.
For next year I have already done my shopping thank you clearance section at walmart ha.

Thank you for stopping by as always! Yay finally I'm catching up. Hello halfway point of November please slow down now. CorinaH

Ventura

Late post.

Hi everyone! This weekend we went on our last vacation before the holidays. I most likely will be swapped with work holiday hours. My family stayed at a campsite called " Ventura Ranch KOA" just 2 hours away. The weekend we went there was a few mudslides in the grapevine making our trip longer.

By the time we reached the campsite it was dark outside. We made a small fire and just hungout.
On our last day we went to downtown Ventura to shop at all the second hand stores. Sadly we didn't find any treasures.
However, we did find a succulent heaven!
I wish I had planned to take plants home because had I would've taken one of each.
After all our shopping adventures it was time for lunch. We were meeting up with friends at a burger place they had chosen.
I choose the Bombay burger with sweet potato fries it was very good but I got half way and I was full.
I wanted to go to the beach but it was time to head home. It was too windy outside and by then I was full an wanted a nap ha.
Funny story the whole time on our way camping I thought we were going camping at the beach. I guess I just associated "Ventura" with "Ventura Beach" turns out there is a lot of mountains around. So yes I packed dresses with sweaters and boots. Fail?
Until next time CorinaH.

Summer to Fall Decor

Hello Fall! How I have awaited your arrival since you left me last year.. ha
Every holiday/season I like to change my restroom decorations. Although, I keep old decorations I still like to add something new.  
 
 
 
Each item below I found at the dollar store for $1 each.
  
This could be altered anyway you'd like. You could also buy unique vases at goodwill or a thrift store. I paid about $9 altogether for this simple but cute addition. I hope you like it or can get ideas from this. Add a candle and your set.
Thank you, CorinaH  

Labor Day Weekend

Every Labor day weekend my family goes camping the location changes sometimes. This year we went to Bass Lake. I feel like the older I get the more I procrastinate the packing process. I began packing about an hour before we left.
 
 
Aren't my donut socks cool? I think so. The socks are from forever 21. 

The cabins we stayed in had an apple tree in front which drew in the deer. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Sorry the post was a month late. I had a blast and I can't believe it's been a month. Welcome fall!

Update on school

Hey everyone! I just wanted to add a quick update on school. As you may have read in a post I wrote I completed my high school credits. Upon completing my credits I had to take the CAHSEE tests before I received my diploma. I took the tests at the begging of May. I was super nervous about the tests. I took the English and math tests on separate days. When we completed the test we were told that we would receive a letter in the mail in about two months! It felt like the longest wait of my life. Well about a week ago I received a phone call that the results were in and that I had passed both tests with really high scores. I was so relieved, but I still had 5 credits of electives pending. I hadn't found out until the last week of classes that they had over looked the missing credits. Independent studies were to contact me, but they never did. So on Friday afternoon I contacted the adult school to see what my status was. I had completed my English credits, passed the CAHSEE, and was now waiting on elective credits. The adult school told me that if I was working during the time of school I could take my W-2 in and receive my credits and be officially completed! So I went home picked up the form and went straight to the adult school. The transcriptionist took a copy of my W-2 and had me fill out a form of how I wanted my name on my diploma. That was it, I couldn't believe it. Friday just so happened to be the last day of summer school, the school will be closed until the second week of august.. I was in awe. God is so good, had I waited until Monday to call I would've got voicemail and who knows how long I would've had to wait. This whole experience has made me so grateful. GOd has all the timing in his control. Ahh I'm finally an official high school grad. My next step it to register for college, but I'll update you when the time comes.
Thank you guys, CorinaH

Legoland and more+

A weekend down south. I went on a trip with my brother, sister in law, niece, and nephew. Our three day weekend started at Legoland.  We happen to pick the weekend the new Star Wars expo came out. The park was filled with characters who I failed to get a picture of or can't seem to find.
These pictures are of mini figure town.
The day warmed up really fast! After we left Legoland we went to coldstone for a refreshing icecream. 
The kids continued to ask to visit the beach. So even though the sun was about to set, we took them so they would have a good night's rest. After the sun set, we returned to the hotel to wash up. The kids were out immediately after. 
Sadly it was finally time to head home.
On our way home, we couldn't pass up a stop at La Tiendita in San Clemente.
I ordered a asada torta it was massive! Although it was very delicious, the other half had to be taken to go. I've mentioned this before, but if your ever in San Clemente it's a must try.
True story..Weekend traffic is always a killer, but when you have good music, and cool sights to see the trip gets easier. 
After a few hours on the road, we made it home safely.
 Sorry, I don't have in depth details of the park. It has been a few months since the trip and I can't find pictures or remember too well.
