Zombies Eat Brains... Shows Skull

Anyone that knows me, knows how much I love skulls. I even have one tattooed on my side! Also, Matt and I are obsessed with zombies, more so now because of The Walking Dead. Maybe that will be our matching tattoo... a zombie!

The Walking Dead; Season 1 Cast

I saw this on a tshirt at Target!

Love it!

Looks like Dega to me

Skull + Flowers = awesome!

Sugar skull - Dia de los muertos

This is my most favorite skull EVER!!

Happy Halloween everyone!!

Halloween is Coming! Halloween is Coming!

I love Halloween. Or, actually I love skeletons and skulls. I have a couple that I keep out all year round, but ALL of my skulls get to make an appearance in October!

One day, I will have a Halloween party. Until I do I will stare at these pictures:

This is my favorite! Who says your decor has to be orange and black? Pish-posh!

Next post... How about ZOMBIES?!

Doubt vs. Patience

I'd say at least 99.9% of people have the ultimate goal to "just be happy." Of course, every one's definition of happiness is different. Mine is to have a career in my passion - the thing that makes me the most happy. To accomplish this requires sacrifice as well, (as I am learning.)

After quitting a job that was making me into a person I did not want to be; unhappy, mean, unsatisfied, angry... I made a decision to pursue my dreams. I wanted to be in the event world, specifically creating art with flowers. Floral design is where I want to be. It calms me, it doesn't feel like work, and the day flies by when I can use the left side of my brain. Being creative is my zen.

Now, because I chose this route, I have been having a hard time adjusting to the sacrifices: of being paid less than I was making just a month ago; of having to "pay my dues" by starting on the bottom of the totem pole; of stability, full time hours, and benefits. All these things are making me ask, "Is this happiness? Am I happier now than I was at the vet hospital?" Currently, I am feeling as if I am working extremely hard without reward. I am doubting my choices.

OR, am I not being patient? Time after time, Matt has to explain to me that I am starting fresh and cant have things handed to me. That I have to be patient, let people see what I can do, and give my all so I can receive that reward of accomplishment and happiness.

Things are going to be hard for a little, and I know that I will persevere and be where I want to be. Maybe not now, maybe not next month... but soon.

I am hopelessly hopeful.

Alice In Wonderland

With the help of Angel Wolf, I decided to create a tablescape based on Alice in Wonderland. Can you find all our subtle hints to the story/movie? Take a look!

We also decided to utilize another table as well....

Let us know if you need a table designed! We are calling ourselves: Emmay Designs
