loved this part

hello

so i went and saw (500) days of summer yesterday and i loved...very much! i felt so inspired by the movie...they play house in an ikea and his clothes were so awesome, skinny ties and all. i am also quite obsessed with the soundtrack for the movie nick and norah's infinite playlist.

i am really excited to start working on a custom etsy order. i also have to finish my summer reading for school. bahhhh. it put me to sleep at 8:30 last night. i can't believe i start my senior year next week. life is zooming by. i hope it is an awesome year!

i also spent some much needed time journalling yesterday...it had been so long and i needed to write about some stuff. the other night, my friend was out of town on a college visit so we babysat his little sister and filled his room with balloons, streamers, post it notes, and paper signs. it was really funny. i don't think he appreciated it, but it made for a good time.

well, i hope all is well.

rainbows

so i made this little guy after overhearing a conversation between a little girl and her dad. i was sitting in barnes and noble waiting for a friend when i heard them...

girl: look at the rainbow!

dad: there is probably a pot of gold at the end of it...

girl: that's fakeness, daddy

dad: how do you know? just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it's not real.

then they got into this whole funny conversation about how she hasn't seen santa claus or the tooth fairy, but once on accident she did see the Easter bunny at the mall.

then she proceeded to tell her dad that she had never seen jesus or god, but she believed in them. this was where i stopped listening because she was getting too philosophical for me. although she did mention that Reese's peanut butter cups were her favorite "junk food" besides gum and sun chips...then i thought since when was gum considered junk food?!

she also mentioned if she could have all the juicy fruit gum she wanted, she would stuff giant balls of it into her mouth.

little kids are the greatest sometimes.

ps...i'm listing this in the shop.

today i...

cleaned.
organized.
restored the feng shui to my room (i don't really believe in that, but i did it).
listened to jack's mannequin...all day.
sat and thought.
played with my pups.
tried flying a kite in my backyard...key word TRIED aka epic failure.
watched 27 dresses.
made stuff.

tonight, i don't know what i will do. we'll see. there is potential.

happy wednesday!

good bye and good luck

these past couple of days have been spent at going away parties for some of my really close friends from tennis...it's really sad. we have been so close for such a long time that it's hard to believe the rest of us will be going away next year. the top picture is a gift i made my one friend. on the back i wrote a story with all of our inside jokes from a recent tennis tournament trip.

i really hope we all keep in touch. i see some of these girls coming to my wedding and being friends when we are all older with careers.

to new beginnings...

ohymyyes

i made this pillow...it's going into the shop!
