the time has come.....

helllllo lovers & Happy BLACK Friday!!!! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving & ate your little butts off! My Thanksgiving was simple & perfect. It was just my sister, mom & me this year.....& well you know 4 cats & 2 dogs...oh wait I'm sorry 6 cats. My sister brought her twin cats over as well to celebrate with the family. It is defiantly animal farm over here...& I love it. In the morning we went to Starbucks, got warm drinks so we could have the Christmas Cups (duh) & then took the dogs to the beach. It was such a beautiful day. The weather was warm & the sun was out. I wished it was a lot cooler than is was because I am so so sick of dressing for the warm weather, so I just pretended it was cold outside & dressed for that.....#fashionistaproblems

After running around & sitting on the beach, we came home & watched Oprah's Favorite Things. I was super excited that even though the show is over she still wanted to continue with her favorite things extravaganza.....& I was even more excited because the audience was filled with only military wife's & God knows they deserve it, so I was happy to see them get everything. Even though I enjoyed watching the process of Oprah choosing & deciding her favorite things, I was disappointed in the way she presented everything to the women. It just felt awkward & it didn't have the same exciting feel as it usually does....but nonetheless, it was wonderful to see the smiles on all the military wife's. 

While my mom cooked our dinner we had some appetizers which included the usual veggies & dip, cheese, pickles, pasta salad, shrimp & more. My mom decorated our dining room table so pretty. It was the perfect Thanksgiving Shabby Chic decor.....& our dinner turned out fabulous!!! We had turkey, mash potatoes & gravy, green beans, corn, rolls & pumpkin pie....all my favorites. It was delicious. 

& we ended the night watching Lifetime movies together. It was perfect.....& now today I am baring the crowds & shopping on black Friday. To be honest I'm not going to get any deals, I just love being at the mall on this day because its' all decorated & there is so much excitement & holiday spirit in the air....sooo &speaking of excitement I am excited about the fabulous girls I have here today giving away some pretty awesome stuff! So sit back, grab a cup of coffee, meet some new bloggers & enter to win some fun prizes!!!! So without further ado meet my 

Hi I'm Vanessa but most call me Vanniee & I write over at Love My Charm Bracelets. My fav. accessories are my husband Osmel, you'll see me refer to him as "Stud Muffin" & our sweet little boy Jacob, a.k.a "Baby Muffins". In our family Jehovah comes first. When i'm not in my mommy gear, my femininity is defined by the length of my heels, getting dolled up, shopping <--- hubby says it's cheaper therapy than paying for a psychiatrist, & getting bi-weekly mani & pedi's. In my blog you will find everything that is currently inspiring me, as well as my personal style & little adventures. Hope you all enjoy your visit, & decide to stay! 

Hi there! My name is Shawna and I am the Doe from Doe Loves Buck. Buck is my dear sweet lumberjack-looking man and we live in Northern Michigan {the northern, lower part to be specific.} I am a lover of the great outdoors but it doesn't always love me back.  Oddly, for being such an outdoors woman, I am a major girly girl.  When I am not knee deep in a swamp marsh {wearing high heels boots of course} or tripping over acorns for that matter... You can find me baking up a storm in my kitchen, preparing for my new puppy and writing about all my crazy antics over at Doe Loves Buck!.

Hello Messy.Dirty.Hair readers!  We're off to a good start as blog friends, since we both love Kelly. :-)  Ms. Kelly and I have hit it off pretty quickly, probably because we have so much in common.  We are both So Cal girls. We are both dog owners/lovers. We both don't wash our hair every day... haha  Match made in heaven! On my blog, Living In Neverland, I write about my life: the food I eat, my boyfriend of 18 years, things I lust after (or laugh at, or just love) online, our dogs, books I love, stuff we do and places we have been.  Once in a while I also write about being a homeowner, or something I cook, or (rarely!) something I actually DIY.  Come on over and say hi!  New blog friends are like my pixie dust. ;-)

I'm Kim, and you can find me over at The K.O. Jewelry. I make jewelry that I sell on Etsy, and my goal is to design pieces for any kind of woman. You'll find delicate charm necklaces, bright colored statement necklaces, casual stone necklaces, and collegiate jewelry sets. I'm even working on a children's line right now! I'm also a wedding planner wanting to start up my own business soon, and I'm a wife to the sweetest brewmaster of a husband anyone could ask for. Come over for some jewelry, crafts, laughs, and food- I can't wait to meet you!
