The Things I Like Post

(that I was supposed to put up two days ago...whoops!)
So right now here are 10 things that I am LOVING! (In no particular order):

1.This "Up" themed engagement shoot. It. Is. Perfect.

Those are part one and part two.

2. The Diana. Quite possibly the cutest little camera ever. The one from Urban Outfitters is my favorite, it's such an adorable mint green color.

3. Cheese Balls. They totally take me back to childhood. Nathan and I ate them while we watched Toy Story and Toy Story 2. :)

4. Rainbow of Stitches embroidery book. It has AMAZING patterns in it. And thank goodness the library had it for me to borrow.

5. Netflix on the Wii. Need I say more?

6. Fresh flowers. Nathan bought me some for our 11 month-a-versary. I keep putting off throwing them away, even though they're a week old now.

7. Banana Bread instant oatmeal. It might be the best oatmeal I've ever had.

8. Katie and Alyssa are coming to stay with us for a week, starting tonight!

9. Camping with my entire family. Cannot wait!

10. Possibly landing a job as a writer for an internet marketing company.



There you go, ten things I like right now!

Blog Fail.

Oh yes, that would be me.
I am a BLOG FAIL.

I'll work on it, Blog. I promise.

I've been crafting like crazy. I started crocheting a blanket, which has been a lot of fun. Mom and Dad also gave me my birthday present early, so I've been sewing like a fiend on my... new sewing machine!

I'm currently getting ready for the girls to come and visit for a week. There's so much stuff that we're going to do:
Aquarium
Fisherman's Wharf
Downtown
Library
CRAFTING
Picnic

I have an idea for an "Up" themed embroidery project that I think would be really cute (and possibly a good wedding present for a friend).

Nathan should be home in seven minutes for lunch! :)

I think later today I'll do a post on things I like again... there's so much more that I've found!

Time to talk about books!

Okay, so I haven't posted in a long time, but I'm going to try to get back on the wagon!

I've been reading a series by Lauren Willig that I really enjoy. They're part guilty pleasure novels and part historical espionage. It's a pretty darn good combination.

I found the first one at the library when the cover caught my eye, and now I've read all the ones that are out!

The next one is called "The Mischief of the Mistletoe" (they all have flower/plant names in the titles) and there's actually a contest for it on her website!

I would highly recommend this series if you like: romance, adventure, espionage, history, or just a good book!

here's the link to her website if you want to check it out!

Summertime!

It's almost here! I can practically feel it.
Tonight we're heading to the farmer's market to get some more fruit (so yummy).

I cannot wait until the Carpinteria camping trip with my family in July, it's going to be so much fun!

All I have left to do for this semester of classes is this costuming project, which I am so close to finishing! I only have three complete drawings to create, and then just add little things onto some of the other ones that I've already done.
I've been having a really good time in the classes that I took this semester, and I feel like I've gained some valuable experience while taking them. Especially in the costuming class, which I had never taken anything like before.

Okay, time for me to finish this project and, in doing so, that class!
