bags

I found this packaging via dieline. How fun and fresh!

fall lovebirds

This has such a wonderful quality about it. Usually I don't like paintings of birds because usually they are cliche. But this one I like. To see more paintings from this artist, click here.

Yesterday, I officially became enthusiastic about fall. I had been holding out because we had such a perfect and beautiful, honeymoon summer, I didn't want it to end. But now we are sharing our first fall MARRIED!!! And I am excited about that too! It started me thinking about having our first holidays married AND in our new home!!! That about made me burst with excitement!

ballet flats

If you know me, you know how much I like ballet flats. These are simply adorable. I really don't need any more,...but they are fun to look through. To see more click here.

rethinking architecture

These are amazing and force you to re-think how you define a building. I am showing some of my favorites, but to see many more fabulous designs click HERE.

furry friends

I really like these prints by Lauren Gregg.

happy fall!

What a wonderful time of year! These are some of the pictures I have taken celebrating fall. Enjoy!!

mr. pitiful

In lieu of my anticipation for the great state fair of Oklahoma's opening tomorrow, this one-man-show/carnival themed music video seems to be a good topic today. It is overall jolly and pleasant. Please enjoy!

pop pop POP

Origami based packaging concepts can be so fun and seem to be a reemerging crave. This was designed by Packlab, a package design studio in Finland. As your popcorn pops, the package unfolds and becomes a cute origami serving bowl!

nails

How cool is this! My mom showed it to me. He does his art with only nails and wood, very unique.

remembering

It seems wrong to to let today pass without remembering the tragedy that occurred eight years ago. We learned the frailty of life. No image or illustration seemed right for this topic. So, I post this picture I took, because it reminds me that in the darkness there is hope.

Love hard.

Laugh often.

Live with no regrets.

God bless America.

hair

Today I am celebrating adorable hairpieces. These are absolutely fabulous and under $5 (except the cap)...I know I sound like an advertisement, but none-the-less... I just might have to get me some of these pronto.

Too cute!

How cute is this crochet hat from Etsy! Perfect picture prop.

nine . 9 . ooooh NINE!

Well, Jeff and I are both sick, but I did not want to miss this opportunity to celebrate 9 (like Seasame Street--today's number is NINE!) So, I decided to post nine things I love...not in any order and not to be mistaken for my 9 favorite things. (I hate picking favorites) These are simply the first nine things to pop in my head.

1. making something beautiful

2. bubble baths

3. snow cones

4. snuggling

5. taking pictures

6. singing disney songs

7. anything soft and cuddly

8. watching a good old movie

9. Italy this summer with Jeffrey

flamming lips

Check out these pictures by Wes Stringer! He is one of my good friends, a picture-taking enthusiast, and very talented. These are from a Flamming Lips concert at Red Rock Canyon. He managed to get on stage for these. You can check out the rest of the pictures he took that night on his blog. Thanks for sharing, Wes!

fun finds!

How cute are these funky accessories! Above is a teddy hold my toothbrush holder that can stick on your mirror or wall. Below there a tape holder/utensil cup for your desk, a whale ashtray, and a mouse shower cap! All so cute and unique finds from Urban Outfitters.

pick-me up

I am between my excitement that Pixar's art director, Jay Shuster, is coming to town and design fatigue. So, Pixar is on my mind and I needed something to make me smile. Pixar's Boundin' is just the thing and I decided to share!

Pixar's shorts are great...if you haven't seen them all, you really should. (If you haven't seen any of them, let me know and I will remedy that!) I will post some occasionally. For now, enjoy!!
