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)
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!

one day of 70 degrees

finally a nice fall day. october has been a very cold and wet month.
it was such a pretty day that my mom and i decided to take an hour drive to go to a pumpkin patch to take a few pictures! well.....apparently everyone thought it was a fine day to go also. IT WAS PACKED! packed as in like it was impossible to take a single picture without having someone in a shot! i believe that my mom and i were the only ones with a tripod. ok......and a remote HA!we thought this lady was hiding a pumpkin under her shirt....but she was really pregnant wearing an orange shirt! :)

wednesday and thursday of last week i had tryouts for volleyball. friday, i received the news that i made the regional team! i am SO excited...i'm really enjoying playing this sport!

that time of year is here again.

the cool, windy days. the leaves changing colors. the layering of clothes. homemade pies. i absolutely love this season!(went to a local farmer to help his business. bought four interesting pumpkins!)

my room is complete! the walls are a creamy white and it looks super pretty! i love it. i enter a place of my own and it's so relaxing!i made the letters LOVE TODAY with newspaper. cut the letters out, and pasted them onto black cardstock.....it took some time! yes, it's the name of this blog...but i really like the meaning of these two words group together. annnndd the MAC! my dad is currently teaching me some techniques with photoshop. not so easy. i barely remember the things he showed me. although it's amazing the things you can do with this program. it's wonderful. (i mentioned 4, but someone came in my room and took 1)

just finished knitting a neck warmer for my mom. (post pictures soon.....) i think it turned out really cute. thinking about making more as gifts.



b-back-soon

super quick post.

just thought i'd come by and share a scrapbook page i whipped up really early yesterday. it took me about twenty minutes! (scrapped my new room)

today i got the paint. and my dad has been painting my room this whole day...it's half way through, and it looks so pretty! i cannot wait til it's complete and the furniture is back in.

FALL IS HERE!!! today i could tell that it is here. i love this season.....it's very inspiring!

xo

a slow, wet weekend.

it drives me insane when i know i should blog, but i don't have a clue what to write about! yesterday my mom and i chose to get out of the house the whole day, because of football games on the television screen! we'd rather not listen to all the hollering. so my day started bright and early.....well not so bright because it was raining and dark outside. we left to visit a friend at the flea market. we hung out there for a few hours browsed through. not so much luck though....just an old ruler (mom's), and a old shabby crate that will be going in my room. (see picture below) there are many uses for this crate. right now it's an organizer for my journals.

speaking of my room. this shows my lack of blogging!

i am in the stage of picking out the paint color for my wall. i'm going with a white....but i'm not sure on the exact color! i have 20 different swatches of white to choose from. who knew white would be a difficult color of choice. yes, white is kind of plain and boring. i want my room to be simple, yet classic!

BACK TO YESTERDAY. after we left the flea market, my mom drove us to starbucks. after one pumpkin spice latte, and one mocha frappuchino we were ready to keep on moving. for all of you who haven't had a chance to catch up on a movie flick......i highly recommend watching Julie & Julia. (you can never have too much butter)

lately i've been using a my mom's nikon digital slr and i love using the tripod with the remote/timer. i'm sure you all know how satisfying it is to see the instant results through the lcd. i showed my mom some of my flickr favorites and i asked if she owned any film cameras. YES!
she owns two film cameras that i can use. a new passion. a new hobby. a new beginning.

wishing you all a great week!

feelin' crafty

i haven't much time to scrapbook or to create. school is back in full force, and i have homework overload! :[ i guess no homework on weekends would be wishful thinking. went to the first high school game, and hung out with friends on friday. the rest of the weekend was just concentrating on my school projects. i feel like i'm being punished. (you know pretty much locked in my room)

i decided to take a break. well, not much of a break...i spent about 20 minutes making this cute flower brooch. i guess going through my mom's magazines (for school project) isn't bad at all. below is what i found from her martha stewart mag. hmmm... maybe christmas presents. i think it would be cute attached to a jean jacket, a simple purse (that could use a little prettiness), or a headband.
(the scanned article from the martha stewart mag)
here are the steps if you are unable to read it.
1. a machine baste or hand baste.
2. Gently pull unknotted end of thread while pushing trim.
3. secure until trim resembles a carnation/flower.
4. cut a circle of felt, attach to back of flower; then glue a pin to the felt. i guess i know what i'm wearing tomorrow!

have a lovely night! b.

so many things

ugh......it's been so long. everytime i get on the computer i think about blogging, but it's just never happened! and i've been sort of busy this week because of school. it's already been a week and i'm ready for it to end! i know that sounds really terrible. so far the only thing enjoyable about school is clothes shopping (of course). i have so many things i want to share that has been going on in my life!

FINALLY, yes finally. i am getting used to wearing contacts. i had a little trouble with finding the right fit for my blind eyeballs. i can't see a thing without some kind of prescription for my eyes. well , let's just say that wearing contacts is much better than wearing the rubberbands on my braces. thank you to my ortho who said, "no more rubberbands".

photos. i've have done so many photoshoots & learned new things about cameras that i haven't shared!!! like this! how to take pictures with multiple exposures.
i saw so many bike photos on flickr, they got me very inspired! more here. down by the river! my flickr.
these 'clothesline' photos would have to be my favorite out of all the photoshoots!
(got the high socks in san fransisco). by the pond in my neighborhood.
i painted my own arm.......it was pretty fun! more here.annnnndd my lovely balloon photoshoot!i think that is it for photoshoots......whew!!

well i have mentioned before that i've been dying for a room make-over and so.....it's happening! yesterday my mom and dad started helping me re-arrange/re-do/re-organize my room! it is lovely! i'll post pictures of the fresh, new room when completed!

i will try to post soon if school doesn't get in the way!
