High Five for Friday

dress: old navy  boots: kohls  scarf: store in Lake Geneva

1. I believe that I do not need any more scarves, however I keep wanting to buy more!

2. Sisters. Target. Starbucks.
  Those three things make me very, very happy.

3.  Today we are off to cut down our Christmas tree.  This is probably my favorite day of the year and will definitely take up a whole post soon.  Here's a picture from last year:

4. I do have some Christmas presents already, and now that we'll have our tree after today it is time to start wrapping some gifts! I love this idea for making gift tags using paint chips.

5. December is drawing near and I have a few large ad spaces for $10 and medium for $5 available! Check out more information here and email me at katiejvale@yahoo.com.
I'd love to help promote your blog or shop!


Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are still getting to spend today with your family!

Dear Lauren and Lauren,

dress: discovery (worn here)  shirt: jcpenney  necklace: old navy

It figures that my Laurens not only share a name,
but have birthdays within two days of each other.  

Dear Lauren, 

I know I say this often but you are truly my best friend.   I am so thankful to have a sister that I can laugh with, talk about anything to, and get encouragement and advice from.  I'm thankful that we share a love of coffee, blogs, Target trail mix, shopping, clearance clothes, and desserts. 

I admire the kind of friend, mother and woman of God you are.  You are one of the greatest blessings in my life and I am beyond thankful for our relationship.  

Dear Lauren in Law, 

I couldn't be happier with the woman my brother married.  Not only did he get lucky, but our family did too!  I love your sweet, funny and loving personality.  I am beyond happy that you live 5 minutes from me and can't wait to spend time more time with you.  

I admire you for your outgoing personality, your humor and your attitude.  I am so lucky to have an amazing sister in law who I know will be one of my closest friends.  

Happy birthday Lauren and Lauren.  I love you both SO much and know I am one lucky sister!

Love,
