Gorgeous layouts, I love the 30 years one! :)
Brooklyn Flea : my layouts & mini! Beware : LONG POST!
Hello veryone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I was teaching in Perpignan, which is near the Spanish border, about 1h30 from home, and we had fun fun fun! Thanks to all the Colori crew and my sweet students! Today, I'd like to show you ALL the layouts and the mini album I made with the...
Happy Anniversary! XxX
Four Years:
Yesterday was mister husband and I's anniversary! :) We've been married for four years, now. Crazypants! They flew by! It feels like just yesterday we were huddled together in a freezing cold park: note, the raccoon friend in the background. lol. But, really - if you're new to my blog, we did g...
I love these too, I saw a short feature on the news about them last year.
The Little People Project.
Perhaps you've seen these little public art wonders, before, but my teacher pointed them out as examples in one of my classes last week and I love them so: 'The Little People Project' by Slinkachu. They are mini, mini little people set outside and photographed/left in sometimes funny scenar...
Oh no that sucks! Hope you get things sorted in time.
Gotta Love...
...dropping my camera and busting my only lens the day before the (only free) day I have to photograph a big project for presentation on Monday. :( Ugh! photo source. It happened in the silliest way, too - after making it to and from Hawaii and many a camping trip unscathed, in our back alley s...
Congrats to you Kirsty, what fab news! I can't wait to see all your projects, I love me a bit of Hambly. :)
Hello, Hambly
I'm thrilled, excited and still quite shocked to be sharing this happy bit of news with you today. It's been while since I was inspired to apply for a Design Team, but I love Hambly and the versatility of their products so much, I couldn't resist the call this time. Not for one minute did I th...

Palette Pingpong (No.39)
Morning, blogistas. I'd love to hang around and chat, but I'm all caught up in gazing at this bee-yoo-tiful picture. [source] See? Gorgeous. I picked it out as today's Pingpong challenge for Gabrielle. If she's managed to stop with the gazing for a few minutes, you'll find both a palette and a...
Happy Blogging Birthday! XxX
Three
So, I had a feeling it was around this time of year I first started blogging, and have been meaning to check the exact date for a few days now. I finally got round to it this afternoon, and what do you know, it's my blog-birthday. On this day exactly three years ago, I popped my posting cherry. ...
I love your new blog look, very fresh! :)
oh! and...
What do you think of my new blog design? I have to say that, een though I LOVED my old blog design (that was custom made by Freckled Nest), I was craving some more pure, clear, simple designs. I did it myself, with Typepad themes, and some HTML codes and I'm proud of myself :) Feel free to tell ...
Well you've just described exactly how I've been feeling about blogging for a while now, hence my break from it since July. I've still been visiting blogs and commenting, but just not posting anything. It started to feel like a chore and I have also been picking up this commercialism vibe, follow me on twitter, facebook, hop on one leg and I'll give you a prize. It's all getting a bit overwhelming. So I, like you have been thinking, I'll blog when I please, about the things I love and not because I feel I have too. I started blogging in the first place because I felt like I'd taken so much inspiration from other peoples blogs, and I wanted to hopeful, inspire and meet like minded people.
Thank you for being so honest in your post, it makes a refreshing change. You've always been a massive inspiration to me, even more so now!

Ho-Hum (On Blogging).
Let's get real for a second, shall we? I'm feeling kind of ho-hum, lately - about blogging. photo source. Well, okay - I take that back. I'm sure it's just a phase, cuz I love blogs of all sorts and blogging here. I always have. :) Possibly, it's because I've been crazy busy with work + school...
Hello, I hope you've settled into your new home and college routine now. I love your layout, pretty blanket too!
All You Need is...
Hello, old friends! It still feels super-weird to not be able to pop in here everyday, now - lol. Did you have a good Halloween? I had an English paper due, so my Halloween was spent manically finishing it the night before it was due...lol. But there was some candy noshing, oh yes. :) I have som...
Goodness me, you have been busy! I hope you are enjoying a nice rst this weekend. :)
Word is . . .
In case I haven't already mentioned it a million times, the last few weeks have been crazy-busy round here. Were I organised about numbers like my lovely pal, Julie, I would be saving this up for a nice, neat monthly round-up post all of its own, but I'm not. So please pretend to be suitably i...

Gosh your bag looks amazing!
Beach Bag Tutorial: Not for the Faint of Heart
It's been a long time since I really focused a lot of attention on sewing. But, after coming across some old Halloween costumes I had made years ago, I was feeling a bit of confidence. So I decided to tackle an idea I had for a beach bag using the new Salt Air fabric. First I'll tell you ...
Cute photo! :)
Autumn Press by Studio Calico
I've been terribly busy with the magazine these days, not feeling in the best of moods (but let's pretend it's because it's Fall) but I'll be back soon I promise! You can check my supplies list on Scrapbook.com or 2peas :) BISOUS!
Beautiful photos. I've got camera envy now... in a good way of course! :)
A Closer Look...
Here are a few more shots from my nature walk, the other day - from a closer perspective (these shots are always my favorites to do & see!)... :) I could take photos like this all day...he he. :) I love that there are still bri...
Beautiful layout, I love your journalling!

Aw, she is beautiful, congratulations to Jessica and your family!
May I introduce you to Lia...
Do you remember this photoshoot with my cousin Jessica, when she was 8month pregnant? She gave birth to Lia on Saturday night, at around 7pm! I'm so proud, feel so emotive :) I met Lia yesterday but I told her I have been loving her since her mom told me she was pregnant. I loved her the very se...
Oh wow that sounds amazing, and the scenery looks breathtaking!
Kayak, we did.
Aha! I was good and brought my old point-and-shoot digital camera with us on our kayak trip this weekend (on the salty ocean kayak, no less - it's old, so I wasn't really worried about it - but I missed my good camera!). Here's a little rundown of our overnight kayak-to-the-campsite adventure: ...
You can have an appliance made called a soft bite raise appliance. It is made out of soft vinyl and you wear it over your lower teeth, it helps prevent sensitivity from clenching and grinding. I grind my teeth in my sleep and found this really helped. :)
Sensitive Factoid.
Just before you go thinking that motorcycle riding is uber cool. My teeth have been bugging me, lately. After years of not having any problems (except for, you know - braces), they got really sensitive after the first few fillings that I got back in January and are still bugging me. I had a ch...
Beautiful photo!

Sounds amazing, hope you have fun!
A Kayaking We Go!
photo source. Off we go! I want to say, 'off we go, extreme camping' - but I feel like it's not...I mean, it's the most extremest of camping we'll have done. (People hike into the grand canyon and camp, for goodness sakes. They go down the sliding sands into Maui's Heleakala crater and camp - y...
Can't wait to see the rest of your layout. Scrambling to keep up is exactly what my summer has been about too! Roll on Autumn! :)
Little Life Bits.
Oh my word - there just hasn't been that much time to set up blog posts ahead of time, lately! My days are just running into one another, here, and I'm scrambling to keep up! I feel like this summer's been like that, all around, though, for everybody. The sun was shining here all weekend, and I ...
