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.

Nov 15, 2011
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!

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...

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 ...
Beautiful photos. I've got camera envy now... in a good way of course! :)

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...
Sounds amazing, hope you have fun!

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...

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 ...

Bella on Santa's Knee.
This is my other favorite Bella Blvd page...he he. :) Mostly because of this funny old picture from my youth: That's little me with my mom on 'Santa's' knee. This picture always makes me giggle, because it's quintessential defiant little Michelle. lol. And - looking back at it now - I know t...
Love the kraft on kraft, nice effect. Glad your worry is over. I used to be a dental nurse, so instead I'm completely paranoid about my kids falling on their teeth, or not brushing enough. :)

A Bella Favorite.
You know sometimes when you finish a scrapbook page and realize, once it's done, that it's your new favorite? Not just the favorite of the batch you just made (am I the only person who scraps in batches? Perhaps deadlines have formed this way of doing things...lol), but a favorite favorite? Th...
