Little Bit of Everything

Hello my fellow little friends! This post is a bunch of randomness, but oh so fun!

So if you were on Twitter, Facebook, listened to the radio, or possibly turned on your television set you might have heard that Fayetteville had quite the tornado warnings this October evening. Cool. Not. I spent this warning in the company of several friends over dinner. Afterwards Kirsten said she needed to run to Lowe's to pick up something. So what did I do? Tagged along! DUH! Tornado.. tornada.. WHO CARES! Yep, thats right. Kirsten and I spent some of our tornado warning being the only customers in the whole store. The ladies at the front register looked pretty shocked when they saw our dripping wet selves bebop-in our way through the door. But really, do you expect any less from us? Hobby Lobby or Lowe's that's where we can usually be found!

My latest personal project has been a chunky full length mirror. In my attempt of making this a week ago I broke the first mirror, yes I know, 7 years of bad luck. Tonight was the night to finish this project! And WA-LA!!! A teal chunky mirror with accent colors of deep red and gold, and with balls!

Tomorrow's project: Full length mirrors for Riffraff.

Second project of the evening: MR. PIG #2

The original Mr. Pig now has a loving home. So I made this one tonight and I personally think he is much better than the first. This little guy will be making his way up to Riffraff in the AM with some of his other friends I'm working on.

FINALLY! A picture of Kirsten and me. The kid and I are together 24/7, but the camera is usually never in sight. So at Strut for a Mutt a few weekends ago we got a snap shot.

And last but certainly not least, my precious little boys! This picture was emailed to me tonight from their Momma. It was taken at their Dad's football game he was coaching earlier in the season. The love I have for these two little guys, and the fun that we have, I can't even put into words. Meet Cooper (L) and Tyler (R). (And please note Tyler's posture. Unbelievable.)

Off to sleep I go! I'm keeping those two little rugrats in the morning, completing some projects, dropping goodies off at the store and preparing for a large weekend of festivities. All in the flood I'm sure.

Have I told you one of my God sent gifts of this year is coming in town, or is already in town? BEYOND EXCITED! I haven't seen Cristin in forever and a day it feels like. She is a true blessing, and basically my twin at heart. Our story is to be posted on a later date along with this weekends highlights.

Night Friends. Stay dry and warm.

Mr. Pig

TA-DA!!!!

My latest piece of fun art that can be found only at Riffraff. If you just love this little guy send me an email, or email Riffraff. He can totally be customized with different colors, different background designs, and in various canvas sizes! Let me know! He is super cute!

This little Piggy would make a great gift or a great addition to add a splash of color in any room of your home!

Happy day!!

Kenlie

The one in the picture is a 24x30 and about an inch thick.

To keep you in the know

With nothing else to say, here is what I've been up to lately....

** Wednesday I was driving to work in the "first day of school traffic" and had several thoughts:

1. I'm completely thankful for my college degree. And the simple fact school is no longer in my everyday schedule.

2. I'm totally loving what I do. And 100% content with it having absolutely nothing to do with my degree. And I have completely excepted that. It makes me happy, keeps the bills paid, and allows me to be me and also use a talent I was blessed with. And that is all that matters to me.

3. I am so glad I didn't spend the end of my summer worried about decorating a classroom, learning names of students, writing lesson plans, and trying to figure out the easiest way to germ-x a classroom.

** I have officially finished season 1 of GossipGirl and can not wait until tomorrow so I can mark "Target- GG S2" off my ToDo list

** Sorority Recruitment is taking place this week. Kind of a weird feeling to not have work week for the first time in 3 summers. Not complaining though.

** My youngest sister started her SR year of high school. Talk about making you feel old. I'm still not over the fact she started driving 2 years ago.

** Clare moved to Dallas. Kind of a weird feeling to not be in the same state. But she is down there for grad school, so I guess that is ok.

** I recently took someone's last name out of my contacts in my phone. Now identified on a first name bases. That's a big step.

** I am sick of summer and ready for a change of season. I'm looking totally forward to seeing what the "real world" is like without balancing a class schedule. I'm ready for football season. Wearing fall clothes and all my boots.

** I've had many laughs lately and lots of classic quotes. A few involving:

1. Account Kirsten's accent and completely unaware until I called it out by laughing "We can just tie the candy onto the "ada badle." AKA WATER BOTTLE. We still laugh 4 days later and convinced that we will never use "water bottle" in our vocabulary.

2. For those of you that know me, know a third grader could beat me in a spelling contest. Spell check, dear friends, and this lovely red line the MacBook offers are all true blessings to me. I wrote "diamods" in a quote on a canvas to sell in the store. Suppose to be "diamonds." Classic Kenlie.

3. Blake informed Alex and me that "she knows all the juicy gossip up and down Maple St because she is a gamma chi!" Anyone that knows Blake, knows she is a mess and this quote fits her to a T. HAHA!! Alex and I probably wont ever let her live that down.

** Starbuck's shaken green tea with lemon aid is what I now crave on a regular basis.

** "Fabulous" has been a word I have been using day to day for about a month now in my vocabulary.

With the busy days I've had, I thought I would share with you my thoughts, changes, and obsessions. I guess everyone is entitled to a pointless blog, here is mine. : ) I hope you had a wonderful week. Happy Friday!!!!

**And Remember: If you know anyone going through rush or moving into a dorm room, don't forget us at Riffraff!!! We will be open on Sunday due to Bid Day being moved to 9AM Sunday morning. Good luck to all the girls out there turning in a pref card as well!!!

Always,

Kenlie

Riffraff is ready for RUSH!!

Life since the beach has been very.... creative! As you know my great sweet little friend Kirsten owns a local interior store here in Fayetteville. Merchandise she sales in one of a kind, full of bright colors, funky styles, and best of all, created by local artists around the area. If you haven't stopped in at Riffraff, shame on you, but you better go!! I promise you will fall in L-O-V-E! If you follow Kirsten or Riffraff you know I joined her team a few months ago to help her with just about anything that needs to be done. Or I try to anyway. Our mission here lately is operation RUSH! Oh yes, you got it right! University of Arkansas sorority recruitment begins this week and oh is Riffraff ever so ready!! Here is why life has been so creative lately...

You take one of these...

Add some of this with a spice of idea...

And TA-DA!!! You get this...

And the Greek display looks fabulous!!!...

Pretty cute huh? So.. If you, your sister, best friend, cousin, neighbor, daughter, loved one, aunt, old elementary friend, girlfriend.. ANY FEMALE, is going through rush. Go to Riffraff!! All of the greek stuff is oh so cute, and Riffraff would love to help you find that perfect unique gift for anyone!

On the same note, if you don't know anyone going through rush, remember Riffraff is an interior store, THEREFORE, it has GrEaT dorm room stuff as well.

So here is the deal.. Go to Riffraff for your one shop stop for all greek and dorm room stuff!

* * * * *

So that's what I've been up to lately. 9AM-4AM working on fun store stuff with my best pal Kirsten. We've made quite the memories and had lots of laughs, we have realized we have a unique talent in packing the car, we are waiting on our Thank You note from Sonic for keeping them in business, and in return, we should probably write them one for helping keep us awake. But don't worry.. its not stopping here. Our fun ideas and unique creations only are going to get better! So fun!!
