A very interesting creature

A confusing creature.
A curious creature.
A cute creature.

Oh dear.

One thing I love...

I love, love, love wax sealed letters. It is kind of a run off of my love for Jane Austen movies. They are gorgeous. Romantic. Girly.Grown Up. There is nothing not to love about a wax sealed letter. I've never received a wax sealed letter. Does anyone want to make my day?

Another reminder that little things are the best things.

Vintage Design

Since the Garden of Happiness went random, posts, sanity and everything else I hold dear went with it. Do not despair! I have much planned for you. And yes, it might just involve my feet.

I am participating in an online Architecture Class this semester. I really really love it. My favorite part has been designing my website for it. I decided make it vintagey (Is that a word? If not, it is now!)(These are alot smaller than I thought they would be, sorry!)

For the first page, I kept the background white and added a vintage piece of clip art. This paged turned out to be one of my faves. I do love little things.

Another favorite, week one. I used a simple scale background and added a cute post card. I do love post cards too. I love how colorful the background is and the cute design of the card.

Week Two has some cute floral's on it. I had some white space on the image I was using for the background. To work around it, I made the lines into "dividers" for the title.

This was by far my least cohesive page. I really loved the background- the soft grey and powered pink with little birds. But because this was a repeating pattern, I couldn't piece it together like I did some of the other images. I used the image 4 times to make the background and then used stamps to try and cover up the "seams."

More Postcards! Week 4 is similar to week one, different post card and background though. I centered the postcard to make if more of the focal, since I didn't have the dividing lines on this page.

Same scales as from week one. I decided to re-use them because I loved the colors.

So there you have it, my vintage graphic deign. Do you like it? Please share your thoughts! :)

Litte things

I love little things. I get so excited over a bottle of hand sanitizer. A small candle. Pretty nail polish. I desperately want a salt and pepper shaker collection. I caught myself drooling over clothespins. (Not literally.)

So Happy Sunday to you, my friend. Remember to stop and enjoy the little things in life.

UPDATE: Two teenage boys are playing with rubber bands in my house. They are taking my post to heart, what good boys!

NOT a celebration....

I'm sick. It's actually a providential time, I don't have to go to Economics! If there's any time to be sick, Monday and Tuesday are most certainly it. I used to get sick every month (sick: cough, fever, sore throat.) I knew the days I would get sick. It always lasted for 5 days. It was pretty much a routine. Thankfully, I got over it, surprisingly by having teeth removed. Now, I get sick before my birthday, and after Christmas. Seriously! I have it written down.

Sincerely,
Even my sickness is organized!

PS: Can I just say I am sorry for doing such a terrible job celebrating? I have missed almost every day this month. I promise to do better. Make me keep it.

Wut I been doin'

(Had to throw in some mespeak in the title. It just wouldn't be proper without it).

So you have a question for me. I know it. Why haven't I been posting properly? Why haven't you been hearing every time I apply lip gloss? Well, maybe you aren't lamenting over the latter, but as for the rest, I know you are. May I apologize? I'm sorry. I have been so busy. I can't believe Its OCTOBER! I am having mental issues with that (and other) facts. What am I so busy with? I made you a list.

1. Homework
2. Watching Jane Austen Movies
3. School
4. Homework.
5. Fun
6.Homework
7. Baking
8. Homework.
9. Being amazing.
10. Homework.

Are you seeing a trend? So anyway folks, that's wut I been doin'. Thanks for listening. And me using homework 5 times is not that much of an exaggeration.

Sort of.

Baldness.

My father is bald. I wrote about it on Parents Day. Go ahead and look. I could write a very long post about balding, baldness and such. Or you could just re-read that and save us both some trouble. I'm so glad we're on the same page. :) I will return to my regular posting schedule soon. I promise.

Sincerely,
I drink cocoa at 8:30. This has nothing to do with balding, but you still need to hear it.

PS: Oh my. I am realizing this post was sort of "bald" in a sense. Celebration!
