I’ve been adding to my new art journal slowly. I sort of deviated from Elsie’s prompts and have been journaling things that I feel match the theme that this journal has beginning to take on. I’ve named the journal Cool Kids, the title from the Echosmith song called “Cool Kids.” I thought the song fit very well with the theme of the Free People catalog images I’ve been using. I…

mini book reviews – 12.07.13
Read moreThese are just some of the last few books I’ve read that I found to be fantastic reads and felt like I needed to share. I’ve been horrible lately about reading. I have stacks of books from BEA that I need to get through and I’ve been really lazy about it all. I’ve realized that I spend way too much time watching morning talk shows and reruns of Boy Meets…

journaling something new
Read moreJust some new art journaling pages I’ve done in the past month. A few of the pages were created using prompts from Elsie’s (from A Beautiful Mess) Art Journal All Year class. The others were inspired by this Free People catalogue that I’ve been tearing pages out of for a while. So I kind of kept with the catalogue’s color scheme and theme, I just loved it so much. I’ve realized…

a few of my favorites #2
Read moreJust felt like sharing a few of my favorite things of the week. I spent the better part of the week reading, so not much happened to blog about. I did want to write up a post about a couple of books I’ve read that I wholeheartedly recommend, but this was quicker and there were a few blog posts that I read that I wanted to share as well. (But…

coming home / a mixtape
Read moreI felt like it was time for a new mixtape. I actually had most of these songs in a playlist already, like four or five of them, but never really added more in order to make a decent list on 8tracks. But there were a few songs that were on my mind lately and they both seem to relate, so I thought I’d share. This mixtape is called coming home mostly because…

my greek remains of the day junk journal
Read more If there’s one thing you need to know about me is that I love to make things. In the past year, art and crafts has become a mode of therapy of sorts for me. I’m always searching different lifestyle or scrapbooking blogs for what’s new or what other people are doing that is sort of scrapbooking, but just a different take on it. I personally don’t really scrapbook the…

trips and friends
Read moreJust a little video I made yesterday. I was very bored and I was going to delete these videos from my computer after saving them to my external hard drive. But I remembered that I had wanted to see if I could put them together into a cute little video. I think when I first got back home from this trip, I started, but it was so time consuming that…

project life october 2013
Read moreSo, I decided to give a go at Project Life. I’ve been meaning to try it out for a while now, but made up tons of excuses not to. One, the system itself is a bit expensive. What with buying a 12×12 binder, the clear journaling sheets, and a set of the journaling cards, the total price could come out to around $100 or more. I also was put off…

i solemnly swear to participate in nanowrimo 2013
Read moreNaNoWriMo, aka National Novel Writing Month is November every year. And every year, for about the last four years, I’ve promised myself that I was finally going to participate in it. As you can guess from the tone of that previous sentence, I have yet to participate in NaNoWriMo. I think last year I tried. About two weeks into November I began and I got about one page typed, single…

what i know now
Read moreI’ve been a bit down lately. I never know exactly why, I just go with it until it blows over. And it almost always does, only to come back the next month. I’m starting to think it may be hormonal. But regardless. It always has me thinking of all the things I haven’t yet done. I suppose, when you feel down, you feel down. You start to think of all…

just a thought
Read moreHi. So, for the last week I’ve been working on a website for a new music artist that my cousin is now working with. Normally, I work on these types of sites until my brain is spewing code in its sleep and I’m driven completely stir crazy. Naturally, all those things happened. And in one of my many periods of annoyances, I said mostly to myself (though I did mention…

citylove: barcelona, spain
Read morebarcelona, spain I was thinking about Barcelona recently and realized I hadn’t written about my time there yet! It was fantastic and one of the best decisions my friend John and I made on our Eurotrip. We were initially going to go to Barcelona for about three days then go to Madrid and stay there for about four or five days, but something in me decided to do a bit…
