c.

a little birdie...

they are just so cute, i wish that I was marrying them in mexico!




only a few more months until our wonderful mexican-excursion.
vamos a la playa!

c.

skyscrapers, i'll never look down again.

lasting memories.

with each adventure i find myself saving numerous, seemingly worthless items from the journey.
ticket stubs.
maps.
restaurant menus.
flyers.
food & wine labels.
the list goes on.

the thing is, these items are not worthless. they are memories from my trip, and with each seemingly worthless item, i recall a specific memory that has become priceless.

luckily allison found the perfect way to display these treasures (from martha, of course), and we have been working on them all afternoon!

i've finished the eurotrip 2007, and now it's on to merida! it's so neat to be sifting through these memories once more.





and now, it's redbox + chocolate bar.

c.

simple silhouette.

as i continue to change my room, i've been inspired to create a few pieces of my own. this afternoon i created this classic cameo by using a simple flocking technique.

fun.fast.finished.

i started by printing the image on heavy-weight paper & applying a layer of glue.


then, i applied a liberal layer of flocking powder in 'pewter'.


a quick shake to dust off the excess powder.


and voila! a delicately fuzzy little silhouette.


to finish, i placed the lovely lady in an 8x10 frame with a grey matte.


a wonderful addition to my room in under an hour, and the project cost less than $20.00!.

c.

waiting!

i have been itching to change my room up a bit lately, and i've found the perfect inspiration piece on etsy (where else?!):

just look at that wonderful detail!





i am so anxious to explore the vertical city in person.

oh, and it's impossible to stop bopping my head to ok go's 'white knuckles'!
it's so jazzy!

c.

kitten fever!

lately i've been giving some serious thought to the idea of adopting a kitten. allison & i went, just for a visit, to the pet adoption location near our house, and there was a photo of this cutie kitty who was waiting to be adopted!




i just fell in love with little Linus (this is what i feel that his name should be...).
i cannot stop thinking about him.
great...and i was not even sure if i wanted a kitten.
