Sorry It's Been So Long! ):

I've been super busy with a lot of stuff lately, and haven't been able to post. Thankfully, I think I'm getting a laptop for Christmas, so I should be able to blog more around that time. 

I'm also super excited that my Fall Break starts on Wednesday. I'm sick of school, bleh. All the school days just drag by now.

I've been making TONS of cupcakes lately. I've been hired as a little side job to make some for a little boy's birthday next month, and I have to make a batch for Tuesday as well. I'm glad to know people love eating my cupcakes as much as I love making them! It puts a smile on my face.

So much has happened since I last posted that I don't even know what all to say! Nothing too overly exciting of course. 

But you guys remember how I said I had reserved the Vera Bradley stuff in my last post? Well, I went back last week and also reserved a makeup bag in Hello Dahlia. And the store also had this really cute orange magnet board, and the owner had just tied a purple bow in the corner, it was so presh! So of course, I had to reserve that, too. How can I turn down something cute AND Clemson? It's just not possible.

I'm also starting to regret not signing up for powder puff football this year, but practices were everyday after school, and quite frankly after 8 hours of school, I WANT TO GO HOME. But, I'm definitely going to do it next year, because I feel like I missed out!

I hope you guys have been doing great!




XOXO,

I'm tickled...ORANGE AND PURPLE!

So, I know this my second post of the day. But, I'm absolutely ecstatic after coming across this on Clemson's athletic website. Clemson is hands down my favorite college football team. And Terrance "T.A." Ashe is from my hometown, so imagine my excitement when I came across this and it mentioned my hometown so many times in the first paragraph. It sounds lame, but it just makes me proud to be a Clemson fan. Check out some tidbits from the article:

 "Growing up in the small town of Cheraw, SC, Terrance Ashe, also known as "T.A." to his friends and teammates, was a multi-sport star. He excelled not only on the football field, but also on the baseball diamond at Cheraw High School. In fact as a junior, he helped lead the Cheraw High baseball squad to the state championship after an all-region season on the gridiron.

Ashe had a breakout season on the football field as a senior, when he scored 10 touchdowns, made the all-state team, and helped Cheraw High School win its first lowerstate title in 17 years. But even after this breakout senior season, Ashe still did not receive any scholarship offers. He had some contact with Coastal Carolina, Newberry, and Tusculum, who thought he would make a good walk-on, while a few Division II schools contacted him for baseball.

Knowing that he was going to have to walk on at any school he chose, Ashe decided to follow in the footsteps of his older brother and walk on at Clemson. Phillip was a walk-on defensive back for the Tigers when Terrance was in his youth. It was not only his older brother that led Ashe to Clemson"

Cliff Matthews, senior defensive end for the University of South Carolina (yes I know, how funny, Terrance and Cliff on rival teams), is also from my hometown. To read more about him, go here: Player Bio: Cliff Matthews

So I guess after this post, it's no surprise that I absolutely love college football. What's your favorite college football team? Are any of its players from your town? Why are you a fan of the team you like?



XOXO,
