Spring is sprung

I've been so horrible at updating lately! I'm just settling back into the swing of things, getting used to working full time instead of being in school, and my roommate just moved out and another moved in so that threw everything for a bit of a loop.
I think life is calming down a bit now, though, and here are some pictures from Easter weekend! It was gorgeous here, I even got a sunburn! In April! In Nova Scotia!

1+2: Easter make-up! I tried for spring colours :) I just LimeCrime, obbvious choice for the occasion.
3: Grainy mirror-shot of my Easter outfit... Good news! My new roomie promised she'll help take photos for me <333
4+5: Easter-coloured houses, in the beautiful April sun. The first is the view from my bedroom window, the second is my Aunt's place in the valley, where we went for a big family dinner.

[ps: I changed my Tumblr; it's now whateverasalways ]

St Patrick's Day!

St Patty's is one of my favorite holidays, no contest. Dressing in green is always fun, and everyone's just so cheerful and friendly!

Yesterday, I had an appointment to get my headshot done for Dal's upcoming production (I'm the head dresser!) so I got a bit more dolled up than I normally would. I'm not usually one for foundation, powder, etc, but I went for it yesterday and I'm pretty pleased.

With my Dollar Store tiara

We went to one of the Irish pubs downtown, stayed there from about one until eight. It was such a fun day! As all the pictures prove :)

You're Just Jealous 'Cuz We're Young And In Love

Some sweetheart left this outside my door for me this morning

Homemade Valentine with Sailor Jerry flash? Wonderful. Only thing better was the envelope - made out of Colt 45 labels.

Holiday Tradition: Baking Marathon

Every year my family descends upon my father's house in what I call "the family invasion." They come on the 27th, and, in honour of that, I spend all Boxing Day baking goodies so we have something to munch on (we're a big family).
This year I made scones and cinnamon rolls from family recipes, and then molasses cookies (the soft ones) from a nightmare of a recipe that I will NEVER repeat, and, finally, these deliciously different German cookies called "pfeffernusse," (you can find lots of recipes for them on the internet; that's where I found one).
I literally had mountains of baked goods by the end of it.

Just one of my mountains 

The pfeffernusse take longer to make, but they're fun to make,
and so yummy!!!!

I had lots of compliments tonight on my baking, and it was certainly a delicious night because, in addition to all my hard work, my father made homemade bread, seafood chowder, and beef stew.
I love Christmas eating!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Hope you all had a great morning!!

Hope you got as exciting presents too!
(This was actually on my wishlist <3)

Christmas Spirit

It hasn't hit me like it used to, but I have fun wrapping presents!! I hope it snows; I think that would fix things.

My helpers

My shiniest present :)

[[edit]] I'm at Dad's, and it's snowing! The family will be over soon and my Christmas spirit is picking up :)
