So deprived!

The move to Los Angeles went well and we are really enjoying the city. Only downside is we cant get internet to come hook up our place until august, so over a month with no internet! We have been doing lots of puzzles and board games to stay entertained. Finished a few crafts that I will have to update once I have web in the place. :]

Happy Fathers day!

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.

moving announcements

The day after we found our place I was so excited I couldnt contain it and started making announcements to mail out. I wanted to print it on carboard pieces but didnt want to pay extra postage so settled on some brown cardstock. I drew some 'box' sayings on the front and when I got to The Ups Store, I put a bunch of different stamps on it too. I downloaded a type writer font to make it cuter and stamped and drew on it some more. I forgot our apartment number so made the owl exclaiming it. Mailed em out and cant wait for people to start getting them!

moving!

Soo my boyfriend and I are moving from our beautiful home in Santa Barbara to start our next chapter in Los Angeles. Its not a town I would choose to live in but we need to to both go to the universities we need. We looked for apartments yesterday and found the perfect one for our family :] Its adorable, has little built in bookshelves and 50's ish charm. We are excited to have our own apartment after living with roommates for 3 years and now we have one to ourselves. Lots of crafting to come and decorating. Yayyy.

Scrapbook Pillow

Im plugging along on my pillow and its coming along nicely, even though I've only finished one 'memory' on it but I'm happy with it and getting more and more excited. Heres a picture(sorry its not that great I didnt have any sunlight at the time) and a picture of the original photo that I was modeling it after, this is the street that Jason and I stayed on in England with my aunt. Enjoy!

Absence

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. :)

Beautiful flowers Jason got me for our anniversary(5 years!!)

So busy

School is starting to get down to the end and my anniversary(five years eek!) is next week and my boyfriends birthday is a week later so a lot of planning and crafting in secret going on here. I'm plugging a head on my London pillow and it's turning our better than I imagined. I got a new app too that allows you to do an inventory of embroidery floss and attach them to projects- now I dont have to bring it to the craft store and match thread I ran out of, it's awesome! Have a good weekend everyone :)
