So I have fallen off the wagon a bit- well I still talk to myself but not though my blog hah. I have a few crafts I still need to post but to get me in the habit for 2012 of posting more regularly I have challenged myself! It's a photo challenge I saw on Strumpets Crumpets blog and I'm using the my 365 app for a cool way to sum it up at the end. Today's picture is if myself! Oh did I mention the whole challenge I will do in hipstamatic :)
I am so blessed to have my daddy as my best friend too. As a little joke I made a 'paw' print plaque for Jason from the dog for daddys day :] Hope everyone has a good day filled with family.
So I haven't been blogging lately with so many things going on right now. I have been having car troubles for 4.5 months now and then had a gnarly cold for two weeks now with no end in sight. I will be crafting again soon though. I've made a couple cards but bought more stuff then I have made recently. I'm going to start powering through me pillow cause I want it finished cause I'm so excited about it. Here's some hipstamatic pics for now and hopefully I'll have some craft pics up this week. :)
Were finally home and had an AMAZING holiday abroad. We managed to have some awesome adventures that im sure we will be telling our kids about one day. The architecture is so amazing, I probably could have taken photos for years but I think my boyfriend would have finally left me. My favourite thing: the wildflowers in England are daffodils, I think its the coolest thing ever that they grow everywhere and theyre wild. We did a lot of antique shopping there, I tried to hit every market that I could and ended up coming home with a few things, but it wasnt the antique finds that I was expecting. My aunt was telling me that they are a very throw away society so stuff just doesnt end up at the antique or seconhand stores the way that it does here. Kinda sad really cause I thought it was going to be some of the coolest stuff. Oh well I did manage to bring home 2 secondhand fur coats--that being said I would never ever buy fur that wasnt secondhand. Well heres some photos from our trip and Im already working on a couple crafts that ill post in a bit, I left my camera at my bfs moms house so she is mailing it to me. 
So were all packed and ready for our trip...for the most part. I've been packed for almost a month now and felt so prepared. Luckily we didn't forget too much, just a bag of stuff I needed for the next few days while I stay at my parents. The only important thing was our cell chargers and my laptop charger, luckily we have extras. Be back I'm two weeks from our London adventure!
Only 6 more days til my boyfriend and I go on our London adventure. I am so excited for all the thrifting and hipstamatic to come. In preparation I actually got my boyfriend crafting. He embroidered a pirate ship to make a luggage tag. This was his first embroidery and I was very impressed. I sewed it to some black denim and used an old pleather bracelet as the tie on. Not so bad :)
Just for fun. :] Busy packing for our trip, only 11 days left but we are staying with our parents for a few days before so we really have to be ready in 8! So much to do! so i thought i would just put up a couple hipstamatic prints since i dont really have the time for embroidery. 
It's been a while, I've been busy planning my trip to London this month! It was kinda spontaneous by me and my boyfriend but we are so excited. I've got a chalkboard countdown in the kitchen that I change every day and I have some big plans while we are there. Today though I went thrifting in San Juan capistrano with my mom. Ended up getting a vintage set of Pyrex for only 25 bucks for four pieces, steal!
So this week I cooked a shepherds pie for my boyfriend. My dads from England and makes a mean pie and so I thought I would give it a try.
