Treasury

I am featured in an etsy treasury of super fun woodsy things (which is so totally me, i love it!)

Thanks to Brydferth for including me! Check her out here.

MIA, i know

yeah, so, i've been a little m.i.a. lately, hey, it happens...
made another sale in my etsy shop yesterday! to someone in atlanta, so now i'm a local celebrity! haha jk.this one! (isn't she cute?)

and i'm working on a few new ones that hopefully i'll post this weekend. i haven't posted any new stuff in a while, i haven't felt like being crafty, just being bored.

i just ordered the "wreck this journal" book, i'm really excited, especially after seeing all the cool stuff other people have done in the flickr "wreck this journal" group.

take a look at some of these awesome ones:
1 2 3 4 5


on another note, madame white is getting a new job! but then she told me she's planning on moving away for a few years (this will be in like 4/5 yrs probably, but still) and that makes me sad.
does anyone wanna be my friend?
i should find exciting things to do. cuz i'm bored.

oh well. guess i'll go to lunch.

I used wishlistr.com to make a wishlist! Now I feel the need to just check random sites all day to see if there may be something I like to add to my wishlist. Click on the link to see all the exciting things I want!

1st etsy sale!

i am so so so excited! someone just bought one of my paintings! very first sale! i'm not quite sure what to do now, i was totally not prepared, i guess because i didn't wanna get my hopes up. so now i have to go find packaging to mail my painting to canada! (and hope that i don't end up losing money on shipping since i didn't make my shipping cost very high.)
my husband says now i am officially an artist and we can start looking for a loft in SoHo (by the way, we live in atlanta, ga).
so anyway, super excited! and now i am going to make more of that style artwork because it seems to be the one people like...

yay 1st sale! now i'll go back to concentrating on work.

busy, busy weekend!

so, my mom came into town on thursday for taylor swift and kellie pickler!

then on friday we went shopping, and on saturday was FOOTBALL! and we WON! YAY!kellie pickler

taylor swift!


football! go jackets!

i also got a chance to do a new painting this weekend, check it out!

new paintings!

so, finally posted paintings the madame and i did forever ago, check them out!

almost football time!

fall is seriously my favorite time of year. i love the weather and just the way i feel, like it brings back good memories that i can't pinpoint but that make me feel happy and excited and refreshed.

part of that happy feeling is football time! i went to georgia tech, and while we may not be the biggest football school in the middle of the SEC & ACC south, we still know how to have a good time.

i was going to make a treasury on etsy to celebrate the upcoming season, but since i can never snag one and they're so short-lived anyway, i have decided to make a little "my-favorites" blog!

so here they are, my pics for yellow jacket football season!

necklace by thesilverdog

(update: after looking at my own blog for a few minutes, i decided i could not live without the beautiful necklace above, so i bought it! but you can still check out her other awesome necklaces at her shop!)

tote by bebeandalice

bowtie by butteredtoast

clutch by girlbyaileen

jacket by joannagoanna

necklace by orangepoppy

scarf by beautifulbridget
makeup case by ruju

earrings by scorpienna

yay to all the awesome people who made all these super cute things!

she would...

of course, i ask the question who would wear these hideous shoes, and lo and behold, the answer is lindsay lohan. of course.
ok so they aren't exactly the same, these actually have laces! (which, i think, might make them worse)
on a side note, does she have on white tights, or are her legs just really that white? doesn't she have a line of tanning spray she should be promoting?
the pic is from people.com, & i'm prob not supposed to use it, so hopefully i don't get arrested or something.
