Or if you want me to customize your own holiday card, message me or e-mail me at katelynjordan7@hotmail.com

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!

One Picture

I only took one picture from Thanksgiving weekend and it was of Grandpa Pettro sleeping  at the kitchen table while watching tv. Lol he does this every single time.

Isn't funny that the day after we are done Giving Thanks black friday hits and everyone gets greedy!

Just Because

Because I have been sitting here all night reading blogs I felt the urge to blog something. So I found a picture from the Marine Ball weekend in Las Vegas. Too bad when I look through pictures of Wes and I it makes me want him home so dang bad. Im crossing my fingers he will get out sometime in April, but that's just a wish because I know how the military works. I guess that just means I can sit her and "try" to save money and get bills paid.

Well nighty night y'all sweet dreams

Oh yeah, when I put this dress on Wes said I looked like a polygamist. I guess you would have to see the whole thing (Not at all polygamist looking) I had to convince him it was trendy. Maybe it looked that way though because I was wearing flats and it should be worn with heels. But anywho.. still trendy, Trust me! Lol 

We had a "Ball"

Happy 236th Birthday to the Marine Corps!

We celebrated the Marine Ball in Vegas at the Rio hotel.

This was our third and our last Ball we will ever be going to.. Sadly :( 

 Wes's Grandma and Mom

 The cake they present at the ceremony, I hurried and snuck a picture before walking in.

And another a pic of Wes that I made him pose for. I will say though, that he was so proud that he got to have red stripes down his pants and extra badges (or whatever you call them) because he was promoted from Lance Corporal to Corporal about two weeks ago :) 

Getting ready to sit down at our table.

Our table.

 I love how it says Guest of CPL Jacobson 

 The ceremony. 

Where they do "ceremony stuff" like cut the birthday cake and march. 

Afterwards we get served our dinner. YUM.

Witches Tea

The girls in my family all get together and go to the Witches Tea at the Grand America Hotel.

This year it landed on my mom's birthday, so here we are singing happy birthday to her.

(Happy Birthday To You Mom)

Me, my niece Ryah and sister Candice

I'm sad I didn't take a picture of the sandwiches that came before this. 

 But here were the deserts. So Cute!

Oh and my coconut hot chocolate was Yummy! 

This was in their little bakery shop! I wish I was this talented to make these

31st is my favorite

I knew when I bought this pumpkin I wanted to do something creative with it. I came up with the idea of using the i-rock on it. 

 This is how it turned out! Isn't pretty fabulous!?

Oh and did I mention this pumpkin was from the Dollar Store!

 For those who don't know what the i-rock is, it's a tool my Imaginisce. You place gems where you would like them, turn on the tool which heats up and hold the tool on the gem until it melts to the surface. 

Here is my halloween decor for this year! 

I say this all the time, but I NEED a house. This is all the space I have to decorate and I NEED MORE!!

 These were also Dollar Store pumpkins. We glittered them (you can see on my shelf the end result) they were so much fun to do. We used Mod Podge and sprinkled the glitter on then coated them with a clear coat of spray paint.

Again.. Dollar Store spiders. We glitters them as well!

Beauty Stuff

I always love to know what people's choice of beauty products are

so I thought I would share some of my skin care products I use daily.

These products are from The Body Shop

I use their Seaweed line for combination/Oily skin

-Seaweed Deep Cleansing Facial Wash

-Seaweed Clarifying Toner

-Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream

-Seaweed Clarifying Night Treatment

I used to use Clinique but one day decided to totally try something different and ended up loving this line! 

I just go this face mask, also from The Body Shop

Honey and Oat 3-in-1 Scrub Mask

Cleanse, polish and moisturize in one,  with oatmeal grains and organic honey.

It smells Yummy and OMG made my skin oh so soft and smooth. 

I absolutely love this product and recommend it! 

I love having all my makeup brushes all in one place and I really like having them all stand up that way they are really easy to grab.

I saw this idea via Pinterest :)

My newest polishes

The first one one the left is OPI- DS Classic. It has a hologram effect when sunlight hits it. So PRETTY!

Middle one is OPI- Princesses Rule! It's a tinted pink shimmer.

Last one is OPI- Mod About You. I love this one it's just a simple pink.

Have you seen these? I love the idea to use them as an earring holder.

I bought this at Tai Pan. I think it was only $5.

Hoped you enjoyed this random little post. 

More of our hotel

Here are just a few more pictures from our hotel in Vegas.

Seriously I can't get over our awesome hotel, the pool was amazing!

We stuck just our feet in before the pool closed. 

The pool closed at 7, lame huh!
