Chuseok is "Korea Thanksgiving." Many Koreans head back to their hometown and spend time with family. According to visitkorea.com, many partake in Beolcho, weeding your ancestors grave. This year Chuseok fall on a Thursday, but the day before and the day after are also considered as part of the holiday. Thus, I have a FIVE DAY WEEKEND! If you'd like to read more about the holiday check out Visit Korea's page about Chuseok.

Courtney and I also made some decorations for your apartments. I'd been eyeing this project on Pinterest for over a year now and I finally did it. It was fun watching the two of use work. I am such a perfectionist and I wanted EVERYTHING to be perfect. Where as Courtney is more loose with her approach, but I think so far both are very lovely. I however injured myself and now probably have a scar with the hot glue.
If you want to know how we made(are still making) the flowers, here is a link to the blog I found through Pinterest. Her directions were a little confusing so if you want some clarification just ask me. Hint: make sure you draw the petal with the lines on the paper going up and down. If you don't the petals will come out limp.
