Who's Excited?!?!


I finally registered for a half Marathon and am beyond excited!! There are 4 of us going, and we are all ready to start planning! Already have our rooms (rented vacation club points this time and saved money!) and are working on getting our meals reserved. Now to decide if I should run this race in costume or normal clothes - ha! Only kidding - normal running clothes for sure (There is a youtube video of running costumes from last year - too funny - can't wait to see what people wear this year). Crowds are low while we are there, so we are staying a little bit longer than we normally would to enjoy shorter wait times. After going at the busiest time of the year last year, I am ready for a somewhat slow time. :) 
I may have some more WDW vacations to plan but nothing for sure yet! :) I even had someone call me today to help them plan their vacation while I was in the middle of mine. ha!

Recent Appliques

For some sweet and precious twins I can't wait to meet! 

Love how the name gowns turn out but boy are they rather difficult to make. :) Good thing they turn out so cute or I would definitely stop making them. 

Picked this flower/paisley print out on a whim and love how fun it turned out! May have to do more with this fabric. 


Also loving all of the sports themed appliques. Lots of new ones online this year that are just too cute not to use on something even if it is not the "right" team! Ha!

Bake Sale Cookies

We had another bake sale at work this past week and will have another one in October. This time I lost my mind and made and decorated 152 (really 155 but 3 broke)!! All 152 cookies sold! Well, my mom did buy the last 11! ha! It was a great success with all of the other goodies as well! Now to start planning what cookie cutters I will use for October - definitely will have a fall theme. :)

Five on Friday

1. Ran 6.4 miles today - at mile 2 I was so bored - not good. Glad I finished though!

2. Received my Life Planner in the mail today - so cute and fun!!! So excited to try to get more organized with events, etc. It even came in a "happy" box! :)

3. I will be up to my eyeballs in cookies tomorrow as we are having our first bake sale of the fall starting Monday. Thinking about trying out some new shapes/cookie cutters! May do some classics as well.

4. I think I have finally recovered from pulling "all nighters" during rush week last week. I am too old to stay up that late. :) They got a great group of new members!!! It has been 10 years since I was a new member - great memories of that year!

5. The weather has been absolutely wonderful this last week after a very hot summer - wish it was this nice all the time!
