Tea Party

This will be a fun post!
First of all, I found out this week that people actually read this blog. (!) Thanks to all of you kids for making this possible....Wow I'm a cheese dog.
Second of all, my sister had her sixteenth birthday party, she decided to have a tea party. It was a real party, we all dressed up in our mother's frilly 80's dance dresses, and our grandma's hats and gathered round a very decorated table for some soup and finger sandwiches.


We mostly spoke in British accents, which was the best part. My sister asked me to decorate the table, so here it is:





It was really fun, and luckily, my grandma already had some great porcelain and tea sets.

Here is the bestest birthday cake ever, my aunt from krazy cakes made it:
And we thought Cake Boss could make cakes. Well lookey here Buddy, Lor can dish out the cakes without the distractions of a large Jersey family with class.

Here's our birthday girl, sixteen year old Caitlin:


And to end this sweet little post, I will now show you a picture of my decorating our splendid tree. Is this a candid? Yes. Would I lie to you? Absolutely. Who smiles like that without meaning to? Santa. That's the only person. And the Joker.

Notice the awesome Senior sweats my mom bought me. I can hear your thoughts, I know I know. They are lame. That's my one pair of sweats, and they are comfy. Sue me, okay? And yes, people make fun of me:
"Hey Nicky, What grade are you in? Oh, just kidding, I now see that you are a Senior. I would have never guessed."
Har Har, guys.

Anyways, Merry-beginning-of-the-holidays-to-you,
Nicole

Happy Turkey Day!

Poor, poor turkey. That little girl looks very happy to get her hands on some of him.

Anyways, I just wanted to wish you a great day filled with full bellies, and black friday shopping.
Which, by the way, this will be my first experience with this madness. I'm scared. But oh so prepared.
Everyone better be prepared for a little whooping from my part, because I'm ready to fight for everything. Even the things I don't want, just to prove that I could. I am the Black nightmare. That's my cover name.
Ima dork.

Anyways, here's a list of things I'm grateful for:
Generic, but true goes first:
  • The beautiful gospel
  • My family
  • An education
  • art
  • friends
  • the lady that always works on her yard
  • pumpkin shakes from dq
  • the dark meat on a turkey
  • music
  • movies that are cheesy
  • movies that are sad
  • the milk after I eat my cereal
  • cookie dough, with milk
  • making the most ugly faces possible
  • you

Anyways, I hope you ate much.
And are grateful for more.
Loves,
Nicole

Holiday

I had a beautiful most-Christmasy day today.
It involved a beautiful play called Savior of The World, and lot's of family time.
Now I'm typing by the fire.

I am so in a mood for the Holidays this year, it's wild. I am so excited for it all, especially being with family, and relaxing from the real world.

In other news, my sister had a bridal shower today! It was beautiful! Something I did notice was that she got a lot of cleaning supplies, and cooking supplies as presents. I guess that just comes with the title!

I think it won't be nearly as bad as that toilet scrubber made it look. Hopefully.
Here are some pictures:

 The sweet couple on their lovely bridal shower day.
 The yummy dessert table. Look how beautiful those silver pieces are!
 More adorable decorations, including glittery stenciled letters.

And here's for a little holiday cheer, by ending with this print by Sandra Dieckmann:

Beautiful, huh?
Love Nicole.

Long Time

Sorry about this long wait for a post from Nicole life you are living right now.

I have been so busy, and up to the tips of my knees in Student Body things, and trying to get into college.
Eh, college. Maybe I'll just skip that section of my life. Wouldn't that be nice?
But I need an education.. Oh brother.

Anyways, beyond that little tidbit, I have some more art for ya. No need to go put on your diaper, they are only sketchbook sketches. But I thought I might as well just post them up here.

Remember that I love you, no matter how bad I am at posting.
