Hey, everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving! If you're reading this on Thanksgiving, then I'm at my grandparents' house enjoying a feast with my family and getting fatter by the minute (heehee).

Crouching Tiger

Hey, everyone!

I'm catching up on all of my manicures from the last month or so! I hate editing pictures, it's by far my least favorite part of blogging.

I'm more than happy to share this tiger design with you, so keep reading for all the details!

Hey, everyone!

This post is (again) long overdue... it was originally planned to celebrate my one year anniversary on Instagram, but that day was on July 16th. Oh well!
