My First Pins!

Hey y'all! I'm so sorry I've been MIA for the past few days! I've been so busy!  But I promise to get back on my posting right away!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!  Mine was really good! We had a wonderful dinner, then waited for a while and went to some black Friday sales.  I found some pretty good deals, but no outrageous ones. I think we were gone for about 8 or 9 hours! Needless to say, I took a nap when we got home! 

After my nap, I was checking my email and saw that I finally got my invite from Pinterest! YAY! I was so excited. For the first hour, I did nothing but pin, pin, pin! Here are some of my favorite pins from today!

1. Organization- I wish my craft area was organized like this! Hopefully one day, I'll have a whole room devoted to crafts, just like this one.

2. Tshirt Scarves- I love these two designs! They are so easy, and pretty at the same time...who knew!?

3. Jewelry Display- I want a cute way to display some of my earrings, and this is perfect! I think I might try to make this tomorrow!

4. Simple Packages- Sometimes, I really just want simple, and this is it! I love the way these monogrammed Christmas presents look! I think I'll wrap some of my sisters gifts like this!

Have y'all pinned any of these? Hope you all have a great Sunday!

My Latest Shopping Trip

Lately I have been in a buying mood, more so than usual!  So when the opportunity came up to go to the JC Penny Outlet, I couldn't pass it up!  The JCP Outlet is full of amazing deals, but you have to get there quick before they are all gone!  I totaled up my shopping trip and the full retail price would have been $120 but I only spent $30!  Here is what I got:

 

Gray leopard print scarf, Blue/gray/white scarf, 2 packs of socks, Pink V-neck knit shirt and a pair of flats. (not pictured are 2 shirts Neil got) 

Any time I come home from a shopping trip, this chair in our bedroom looks like this. I love to lay all my stuff out so I can see it!  Obsessive? Maybe. Crazy? I think not!  When I get a good deal, I'm seriously  super proud of myself!

Anyways, I also found these really cute passport sets. I remembered Ashley's post about chevrons, and not being able to find them in real life, so I thought I would snap a pic! I didn't get them, but they had plenty, so I might go back and pick some up!  How cute and preppy are these!?

Do any of you ladies get as excited as I do when you get a good deal? Should I go back and get those travel sets?
