Special December JUNK PROM!!!

Hey Everyone!! I had to write a blog about the FUN, FUN Special December JUNK PROM the Junk Gypsies held for their TV Series coming out (on HGTV!) in March! We had a BLAST! They held it at a little dance hall at Marburger Farms in Round Top (my little hometown)!!

Here we are all dudded up!!

Gotta show of them boots!!

Last year when we won the Halloween contest we went and took our winnings and put it to good use dancing in Corpus. Well...when we found out that the Junk Gypsy Girls were throwing ANOTHER Junk Prom we were ALL ABOUT it!! So all the KISS girls plus my little sister, Kacie´s BF and my friend from high school - Jonathan, and Kacie´s brother (AKA The Ultimate Warrior) came along :).

I had to add the KISS picture again b/c we pretty much ROCKED it!!

You can tell by the pictures we had a GREAT time! I´ve said it once and I´ll say it again..... I´m PROUD of those GYPSY Girls! I met some pretty cool people and had a GREAT time with ALL my friends!!

The letters were pretty much AWESOME!!!

Here we are on the PINK carpet!! Lucky Ms. Shannon won a door prize!!

There were some really cool characters, DELICIOUS food from ROYER´S ROUND TOP CAFE, YUMMY JG Sangria and AWESOME entertainment AND.... The BEST Port-a-Potties I think I´ve ever been in! Way to be HGTV!!

DEB was there!! I used to work with/for her at her sister´s store LA FINCA in Round Top! You may also recognize her from the Junk Gypsies Pilot Episode! She´s the gal that painted the stripes on the wall!!

Besides all this fun...I´m making some headway with my AUCTIONING also....actually A LOT faster than I expected. I just helped out at a VERY professional auction (I had to go out and buy a navy blazer and khaki skirt) AND...they want me to start helping them out more often. They don´t have an auction every month or anything, but I´m glad for the exposure. PLUS... I still have the RTC Education Foundation Auction coming up at the end of January and an auction benefiting the Humane Society mid-February. If that isn´t enough....(on top of having my REAL job) I´ll also be helping out at ELCO Auctions in Odem, TX! This auction is pretty stinkin´ cool! I went and helped out Saturday morning before Junk Prom and they auctioned off a nice Classic car, golf carts, trailers, scooters, Rolex watches and SO much more!!

Stay tuned for more on my CrAzY life :)!! I just have to keep tellin´ myself... BUCK UP BABY!!!

KISS This!!

Hey Everyone!!! So guess what! WE WON THE COSTUME CONTEST THIS PAST FRIDAY!! I really am not one to brag, but WE ROCKED IT!!

When I look at the pictures I can´t believe we pulled it off as well as we did. Our entire thought process was we have to TOP the Ninja Turtles. Well....I´m pretty sure we accomplished that, but have NO IDEA what it´s gonna take to make next year a 3peat!

Jammin´ Out!

Here´s the $$ shot w/ 3rd place winner and DD for most of the night THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR!!

I will add that as much as we ROCKED it...I felt it the next morning. We partied like rockstars all right and am pretty sure that I can physically take only one of those nights a year.

As long as these are the only shots we get from police officers - We´ll be in good shape :).

I am NOT the only prize winner of the family! My sweet little Kylee Jo won 3rd at the little Halloween Contest at the Maritime Museum in Rockport. I think there were close to 30 entries in her age group (2-3 years old). All I´m saying is I think that is pretty darn good considering she DID NOT want to wear her hat and the guy dressed up as "Swamp Thing" was freaking her out and she really didn´t want to be ANYWHERE near him!

Kylee in her Cowgirl Duds!!

My nieces and nephews were there and Kylee had fun playing with her cousins. So much fun that I had to climb in the "Jump Castle" and drag her and Little Miss Kinsey out... Talk about a SCREAMIN´ fit!

Here they are jumpin´ away! Kinsey is the little Bumble Bee in mid air to the left.

As soon as we figure out the theme for next year´s Halloween party...you better believe that we´ll be thinkin´ about our costumes. Everyone else better BUCK UP BABY and Bring It!!

I want to say a SPECIAL THANK YOU to Ms. Alice for being able to watch Kylee last minute!! You ROCK!!

More posts to come!
