If I was a Rich Girl...

BAGS! I need something to carry books in... and I'm just craving a new purse in general.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Whew!

Today we spent the day moving storage units to a smaller one! Getting rid of "stuff" is a goal of ours. We went from a 10x15 to a 10x5 and now a 5x5. But let me just say, when they say 5x5 they meant maybe 3.5x4. I sat on the floor with my legs out and my back against the wall and my feet were about 6" from the wall. I'm pretty sure my bottom half isn't almost 5 feet! Crazy! Anyway, we fit everything in and now our goal is to have a yard sale in a few weeks! I LOVE yard sales!!

Then we went on an amazing hike... and found out how amazingly out of shape I am! We brought 2 of the pups with us, Roxy & Einstein and got lost a few times because there were trails all over the place. About an hour and a half later, we made our way back to the car exhausted, but excited to keep this tradition going each weekend!

Horrible cell phone photos:

Reminders for next time:

-bring a bowl for the dogs (I love them, but using my hand as a water bowl was not the best part of my day)

-bring camera so I don't have to rely on horrible quality cell phone photos

I can't wait to get some new hiking boots. I told myself I needed to wait until we did it at least 4 more times before I could reward myself with those, though.

Working on some orders tonight & tomorrow hoping to get to do a little sewing for fun. We'll see how that goes!

Craft Hope for Haiti

Every needs to visit Craft Hope for Haiti!

If you haven't already heard of it, definitely go check it out! It's quite amazing how fast it's grown! They have raised over $20k in the last week through selling donated craft items made by various people all over the place. It's been amazing seeing everything sell like crazy and I know the people running it are completely overwhelmed.
Read their amazing success at Craft Hope.

Cupcakes!

A couple of weeks ago, probably a day or two after New Years my boyfriend, sister, dad & I went to Auntie Em's Kitchen for lunch & cupcakes! Sadly my mom was in Vegas, so she didn't get to join us, but she's not one for sweets so I guess it's ok. Let me just say that little place is amazing! I had an egg salad sandwich (I'm very picky about the egg to mayo ratio) and it was THE BEST. Not to mention quite large. Then we had CUPCAKES. Of course we had to try their Red Velvet. Now, I've always been a Sprinkles gal and while I still love them, I think Auntie Em's got them beat! These cupcakes were SO good and SO moist and they weren't so rich that it kind of made you sick afterward, like what happens to me with Sprinkles.
They were SO yum yum yum!

 

 

Being sick is...

...definitely NOT on my to-do list! I started feeling like I was getting sick on Wednesday and sure enough here I am... sick. Of course this happens the week school starts and the week my boss tells me I'm going to have more hours at work! I got through the week without calling in sick to work or school, though so I can't say it's been too horrible.

I watched Sunshine Cleaning this week, before I got sick. I actually quite liked it! If you have Netflix, you can watch it online - do it! :) I've been on an Amy Adams kick lately and also watched Julie & Julia. Pretty good as well!

    

I had all these great plans to craft this weekend in between getting homework done. Now, I believe I'll be pet/house sitting for a friend's family. I love their pups, so it's ok. Maybe I'll just focus on homework this weekend and maybe see what easy/portable crafts I can stash in my overnight bag. Then again, they're less than 10 miles from my house so I guess I could just come home and craft for a few hours. We'll see how it works out! Maybe I'll just veg the whole time, napping away my cold & watching movies all weekend. That sounds delightful!

Ta-ta for now!

If I was a rich girl (na na na na na na na na na na)

... did I put the correct number of na's? Ok well... most of these are more like "if I was a rich girl... and had a house to fill with these amazing goodies."

Divided plates. I would have so much fun cooking different things to put in each little section! (here)

 

A dime bank for my (in the distant) future children! Because I know I'll have to bribe them, but I'm cheap so I'll bribe them with dimes! (here)

Self explanatory. Nom. I need like 5 of these. (here)

Oh my. I need these adorable little guys all over my future home. For little bundles of flowers from my future garden to holding my pencils and beloved sharpies! (here)

 

This little wall hung house would be SO fun to decorate according to the season/holiday/etc. (here)

 

And for my love. This print of his dream car. When we get a house, I plan to sneak this into the garage to hang up as a surprise! But shh! (here)

I have this delicious pile of vintage clothing that I need to get washed so I can either sell or just drool over them.

Happy New Years my lonely little blog. My new years resolution is to fill out with photograph documented, living like there's no tomorrow goodness!
