happy {belated} thanksgiving!

Happy belated Thanksgiving to you all! We had a lovely Thanksgiving with tons of turkey, stuffing, and other food! It was heavenly! :) My mom's brothers and sister came with their families and we had a big gathering. I also did a photo shoot with my cousins and brother. I'll share some of the pictures we took. :)














 













^ above photo taken by my cousin.














I know these all kind of look the same (we definitely took more than these five!), but due to faces being in the others, I can't share them here.

Thanks so much for stopping by the old bloggo today! :) It truly means a lot to me to have visitors!

Happy {black} friday! xoxo - Kasey

paws, light & paint splatters.

Hello everyone! Just wanted to pop in quickly and share a few things. I've been really getting into photography lately and wanted to share some stuff, as well as a project I made for my art class. Here we go...













^ I love this one! The perspective of it, puppy's little paw, and the toy. It's just a picture that captures puppy so good! That makes me smile!


























^ My project. It may look messy, but that's the point. I painted all of the objects & the base white. Then, I took six different colored Maya mists & misted & splattered all over the project.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and have a lovely Sunday evening! Enjoy that extra hour of sleep tomorrow! :)

happy halloween!















(via Creature Comforts)

I just wanted to pop in and wish everyone a Happy Halloween! I got back from walking around with my friend about an hour and a half ago. I'm just ready to crawl into bed right about now. :) My Alice in Wonderland costume was a hit... and my friend was Belle. My brother went as Harry Potter. He looked so cute! I'd love to hear what you or your kids went as. Leave me a comment & share! You can even share what you did on this spooktacular holiday! I love to hear others stories.

Have a lovely night! xoxo - Kasey

P.S. Have any of you seen Scary Godmother? It's an animated movie for kids on Cartoon Network. It's one of my favorite Halloween movies. I watch it every year!

currents, again.

It seems like all I ever post on this blog anymore is... currents. I really love doing them, though! And they're quick and easy to post when I really have nothing else to share (or am short on time!). Which is good because y'all might think I've forgotten about this blog or died or something if I didn't post from time to time!
So, here's another currents post. I think I'm going to start doing these weekly! :)


listening: Sara Bareilles - Bottle It Up & Ingrid Michaelson - Maybe.
eating: Nothing.  
drinking: Nothing.
wearing: My workout clothes. I didn't change after practice.
feeling: Tired.
weather: Dark, windy.
wanting: To eat something.
thinking: About food and sleep.
enjoying: The light next to me. It's great to be able to see in the dark.
needing: To finish my powerpoint.
wondering: How long it will take me to finish that powerpoint.

Have a lovely night! xoxo - Kasey

a market, four pumpkins, and one huge mess!

Thanks for stopping by and happy Sunday! Today was a holiday prep kind of day in my household! We stopped by a local market type place to buy our pumpkins. They sell them for a cheap price, too! Which is awesome. More for less! While we were picking out our pumpkins, we were informed that they sold a variety of foods in side the little house. So, we went in to investigate. We ended up leaving with some cheddar cheese, a large slice of Zucchini Nut bread, and a large slice of Pumpkin Nut bread... and, of course, four pumpkins! All of the food was made by local farmers... which is a huge plus! It's great to be able to support them. Now, onto some pictures! These are of pumpkins and some other items at the market.
















 I hope to be back soon with something crafty! Have a lovely evening! :)

halloween decor {exterior}

Today has been a fairly lazy day. The only real thing I got accomplished today was putting up our outdoor Halloween decorations and a little bit of homework. Well, in the spirit of Halloween (t-minus 14 days!) I'm here to share some pictures of our outdoor decor. This post may be a little picture heavy... so be warned.



















Don't you love the tape job? It was the only way to get the web up on the house like that. lol.











Mom wants us to place bets on whether or not these tombstones (they're styrofoam!) will be stolen.

I hope to be back soon with the interior Halloween decor. We need to get it up first, though! hehe.

Have a lovely Sunday night! xoxo - Kasey
P.S. - Are any of you planning on doing a December Daily this year?

studio calico {new blog!}



Studio Calico has a new blog up! It's pretty fantastic. The new look is so fun and fresh! And, to celebrate this event they have decided to do a couple giveaways. So, if you were referred to Studio Calico by someone or you referred someone else, you can be entered to win a prize "pair" (this means that both the referrer & the referee will win the same prize!). And, SC members can "refer" other SC members! How cool is that?

Some of the awesome prizes include the Elementary collection, a spot in Amy Tan's new online class, a free one year subscription to SC, and so on! All you need to do is be told or tell someone to go the new blog and leave a post stating the referee and the referrer's name & username. Easy, right?

So get moving over there and leave a post on the new blog. Tell them Kasey (pumpkinmuffin7) or whoever sent you!

Oh, and Studio Calico is also having a sale! 20% off all of October's add-ons (that are still available). I'm not buying anything this month, but you should certainly take this opportunity! I'm sure it'll give you a push to pick up those add-ons that you held off on! 

Have a lovely Sunday! xoxo - Kasey

currents {wow, it's been so long!}

I absolutely cannot believe it's been a month since I last blogged. I feel so bad, too. I kept planning blog posts and meaning to actually post it, but I just never got around to it. Well, now I actually have some time to do a post. lol. It's a quick one, though! Just some currents [Tina].


listening
: Somewhere in Brooklyn - Bruno Mars
eating: Nothing, but I did eat some fries earlier.
drinking: Nothing... did have some iced tea earlier.
wearing: Pink hollister tee & hot pink workout shorts (just got back from helping at a cheer practice)
feeling: stressed and somewhat sad
weather: Sunny & warm
wanting: More time for everything
needing: To get ahead on work
thinking: I need to get that text book back from the "borrower"
enjoying: Listening to music
wondering:Will I have a date for the dance in three weeks?

Well, thanks for stopping by, ya'll! Hoping to get back into blogging and scrapping mode soon, but there's just so much stuff that needs to be accomplished! My "me time" has been pushed to the back burner.


xoxo - Kasey
