I’ve been Framed!

Well I saw this a few days ago on pinterest…

Source: shelterness.com via Kerry on Pinterest

And conveniently in the corner of my room I had an old frame that I had been avoiding doing anything with, because I envisioned it becoming something spectacular. So I ended up making this.

(ps. i took that photo crooked accidentally.)

I think there either needs to be more things in there or less, and more darker colors. I can’t really decide where I am going to go with it.

Like Dog Tags, but for Christmas

So Kerry over at the Tragic Whale made a post a few days ago on DIY holiday gift tags and I loved them.

She made stamps out of erasers. I decided to make some of my own, but switched it up with holly instead.

I don’t have a typewriter like she does, so I was forced to go all marker on it.

Here they are on the presents. Go small families!

Merry Christmas!

Eggs 4 Sale

I just found out I can sell my eggs for $10,000. I have a great idea.

Seems like a ripoff since you can buy a dozen at the supermarket for two dollars.

Damn.. that house is old

So I may not like the TV show This Old House, but I do really like old houses. Which is why I loved this poem my mom sent me earlier today:

Houses

by Rachel Field

I like old houses best, don’t you?

They never go cluttering up the view

With roofs too red and paint too new,

With doors too green and blinds too blue!

The old ones look as if they grew,

Their bricks may be dingy, their clapboards askew

From sitting so many seasons through,

But they’ve learned in a hundred years or two

Not to go cluttering up the view.

That’s a picture I took last November of the chipping paint on my house. I think the best part of old houses is the chipping paint. Perhaps because of the disproportionate amount of lead paint chips I ate as a child.

Bulletin Boards!

I took down last month’s bulletin board on writing a great paper yesterday. Then I put up this one today. It’s twister themed, with the headline, “Study Tips that Don’t Suck”

A Sad Truth

A sad and poignant point brought up by aerie, the teen underwear store.

If you didn’t notice it says, “Pretty doesn’t last forever…” Which can be translated to, “Your ass and face will never be as tight as they are now.. so buy our small clothing while you still can…”

Weeka, weeka, Weekend!

It’s the weekend, but since I got off work Wednesday, life is a weekend! Hoping to spend my last week at home enjoying the beach and the nature and the books.
