a good-bye and a warm hello

it's a fare-well to this holiday time. :(
so sad! i took down my christmas tree in my room and the rest of my christmas decorations in my room! i've been wanting to learn how to make paper snowflakes,some really cool looking ones. the trick to making them is all in the fold, and the first cut. i said googbye to the first ones i tried (2nd grade-ish), and worked on my technique. it becomes quite messy, and addicting. next season, i plan on seriously hanging them all over my room.if anyone is looking for a good book to read, i recommend Dear John, by Nicholas Sparks. i read it in 2 days, and really enjoyed it. (it actuallly made me cry) looking forward to see the movie, and channing tatum. hehe! I need to get started on Lovely Bones, before the movie comes out. the previews looked pretty intense.

news year's eve i spent the night with my girlfriends, and cheered on the new year. i don't have a new year promise to make myself. well, maybe just to read more. Last year i did a better job of reading every night. i can't say I don't have books, because I'm pretty much backed up with books. i'm having a difficult time completing Angels and Demons. my cousins gave me that for my birthday LAST year, and i just can't read that one at night. every time my mom want to rent that dvd, i tell her no, because i need to finish that book!!!!!!

great.....the next week is supposed to be in the 40's. which means the nights are in the teens. is it too soon to ask for warmer weather? i think winter has just arrived. YIKES! (thank you to my bros for my scarf,hat,and mittens)

happy new year to all. it feels great to start a fresh new year! i cannot wait to see what this year brings me!

winter nights

it is absolutely freezing outside today!! i really don't like cold weather, but dressing for it.....it's alright! i was walking outside and oh em gee!!! walking toward where the wind is blowing is not fun....i seriously could not feel my face!any way, break is here! NO MORE SCHOOL....for two weeks at least! i'm so happy! during these two weeks i'm going to try to accomplish a lot more!

our Christmas tree looks so amazing!

:) as well as mine!my vintage ornaments plus some new anthropologie ornaments being added on.
right now i'm watching some Christmas movies on t.v! YAY! love this time of year! the hot chocolate. family traditions. the scarves and mittens. Christmas movies/music. Starbucks!!!
mmm. Starbucks. i've been craving the new Starbucks caramel brulette latte!! yums.

B.

wood vs. plastic

thought i show you more progress on my goal of getting more organized. i've been using plastic hangers for a long time now, and now i think it's time to step up. wood....i think, is just a lot more sturdier than those plastic ones. now i still want to work on my closet making it PERFECT and organized.

happpy week!
i have just four more days til winter break! OH i'm soooo excited for the next two weeks!

TA DA........the wall!!!

here is that wall i promised.....,a while back. i say that i will get some pictures by 'tomorrow', but those pictures i want to take just get put at the end of the list! so, today i was like....alright for sure i am going to take pictures:

(it's not officially 'done' yet! i'll still add on)

on this extraordinary wall of mine there are many cute 'accessories'!

decorated with: and antique frame with instax minis hung across, a embroidered ring of a Polaroid camera, some of Elsie's adorable prints, clipboard with an anthropologie page i tore out, an old record (from my daddy), stenciled words on craft paper, annnddd the word 'FREE' with vinyl stickers!

and that just wraps it up!!

enjoy the rest of your weekend!

its been a good week.

my break has come to an end! the week i had off was fantastic! i accomplished some things i've been wanting to for a long time now! now i have that feeling, you know.......when you are so happy that is no longer on your 'to-do list'

this week i played with photoshop some more. hmmmm. i don't think i will be able to get a hang of it, but hey...i gotta keep trying!

and for once i really think my room is complete now! yesterday my mom helped me decorate/hang things on an empty wall space in my room! at first it just seemed like a little lonely white wall, but now it's fun and so me! i love it! i don't have any pictures to show you right now, so i am going to try and get some by tomorrow!!! (the wall is inspired by miss kara)

with the week off from school i was able to do some scrapbooking, which i haven't done in quite some time! alright, i am seriously going to get some sleep. the school week begins tomorrow! i'm gunna miss sleepin in. can't wait to hear that alarm go off at 7! :(

hello again

i've been keeping busy making small handmade projects to sell in my mom's booth. last month was a pretty good month with all that was sold. i was happy to sell one of my paintings. i also sold out of these cute knitted wristoh oh oh......there are matching neck warmers with them!YAY!
every color i knit my mom always asks....."can i have this one?"
me- "uhh, no mom. i thought we agreed to sell them!"
mom- "i know, but i like this color."
ohhh goshh mom!

i'm going to put these pretty canvases in the booth for this month. hopefully, these lovlies will hang on someone's wall. well, i must get to knitting my last neck warmer and then its ZZZZ(s) for me! have a wonderful week!

i think white is my favorite color!

white, white, & more white!
oh my gosh.....i love this color so much! this just might be a little strange blogging about the color of white. but i thought that i should share my love of white!
it is a color that is so pretty and simple!! you can do so much with it.

here are some lovely pictures that i love of whiteness:
i'm in love with this room. it is so pretty. when i see this picture i wish i would open the door to my room and it would magically look like that! sigh and this bedroom is so simple and perfect! i love Candi's style!mmm......i want! the pop of the color pink is brilliant! ohhhh......i cannot wait to have my own house. it will be all white! these kitchens make me so happppyyy! :) i really like the vintage objects/furniture in the room!
so cuteeeeek! i would love to have this kind of bed! it's so cool! the books at the bottom.....and i am liking the small space! ..............
(my desk)
taking with film and of course.......i changed my room to white! i would always change the color(S) i wanted my walls and my room to be. but i finally settled on the color white.
white is the way to go!
