WEEK IN PICTURES: THANKSGIVING IN VEGAS


THANKSGIVING 09


woah i've been out of touch since wednesday..i took off to my moms who lives in Vegas on a thursday road trip...my plan was to do a little work at my moms but i was having too much fun, eating allot of great home cooked meals and just spending much needed time off with my family..


i got home safe and escaped a crazy traffic jam coming back from Vegas to L.A. by leaving at 6 a.m. this morning..now it's time to get back on track and get back on a balanced work schedule with both my full time job and bella.


plans are to get the store stocked this week in time for Christmas for both set price Vintage on Etsy and auction set prices on Ebay as well as D.I.Y.'s post on le blog and Christmas ornaments crafts with my Zoe..


for this week in pictures i am posting pictures from my road trip to vegas..i noticed i took none of the hotels and vegas itself but most were of the mountains and desert it's what caught my eye...


5 a.m. start..need me my venti starbucks..
