What have I been up to since I posted last?

I've been terrible at updating the blog. SO... here's a quick update in bullet points and photos...

I turned 25.

I introduced Rudy Giuliani at the DLC Lecture.

Fayetteville flooded.

I was blessed by the Dalai Lama.

I graduated law school.

I met a lovely boyfriend.

I took the BarBri summer course.

I brought home a kitty cat to live with me.

I went to John Edward's psychic medium show in Branson.

I traveled to LR to take the bar exam.

I passed the bar exam.

I'm currently job hunting.

I'm obsessed with Mad Men.

I started Jillian's 30 Day Shred yesterday.

I got sworn into the bar this morning.

And now you're all caught up! :o)

Graduation Party Decorations

For my graduation party in May, I spent more time crafting decorations than I did studying for finals. Fortunately, I did indeed graduate and all my proCRAFTination didn't hurt my grades, haha. I went with a purple and red color scheme to match our graduation hoods, and it turned out really nice. I was super pleased. :o)

Cooler Crafting

I miss college and Greek Life at the U of A so much that this summer I surprised the new boyfriend with this super duper awesome cooler. I have to disclose up front that South Carolina is his alma mater, but try not to hold that against him - or me for that matter for painting a gamecock on the cooler (it is a pretty good one if I do say so myself). :o)

Wreath Obsession

Obsession might be an understatement... But they are all pretty stellar. Check 'em out. :o)

Pro-CRAFT-ination

If you follow my food blog, you've heard this before, but... I took a hiatus from my blog the past spring semester and summer as I prepared to graduate from law school and pass the bar exam. Well, good news, I accomplished both! And don't worry, all that didn't keep me from crafting - just blogging about it. So here is the last several months in photos to bring us all up to date! I'm happy to post instructions if there are any requests - just comment below!

Top 10 List from my Holiday 2010 Epic Road Trip from Fayetteville to Atlanta and Back Again :o)

I compiled a list of the top 10 moments from my Holiday 2010 Epic Road Trip from Fayetteville to Atlanta and Back Again and feel compelled to share, so here we go:
