Not your usual bookshelf

Once upon a time I got this cute suitcase type thing.

I have wanted to use it in my room decor for sometime now but I couldn't ever figure out how.

Until I came up with this...

Its not your usual bookcase and I love it.

The End.

Happiness is...

Saturdays spent surfing so long your bronzed skin turns tomato like in all the wrong places but you are okay with it.

Saturday nights spent laughing with girlfriends about things that probably aren't funny at all but at the time you think are hilarious.

Foggy early sunday morning bike rides.

Sigh of happiness.

Craft Project Numero Uno

remember when I said that I was starting to feel crafty?

and that I wanted to make one of these?

well I did it. and I love it.

Don't you?

this is just the beginning. lots of new and fun projects to come!

yes please

I hate going to the movies. I think its a waste of time and money.

Especially after seeing this last weekend.

BUT

I can't wait for these three movies.

Happy Fall!

Today Autumn Officially Begins

although we are exempt from the crisp autumn air here in southern california. people across the western hemisphere are closing there windows, getting their sweaters out, and collecting the firewood. so here's to you fall. bring on the cardigans, boots, and warm apple cider.

Yesterday, following a lovely session of Stake Conference I spent the day Fall Cleaning

(you know like spring cleaning except its fall)

There is something so refreshing about cleaning, organizing, and de-junking your living space. Now that I have more space in my room to move around I am getting ready to start some fun projects... Starting with this one.

I love the feeling of losing yourself in the world of a good book. I have absolutely loved the last two books that I have picked up. The first one was Dibs in Search of Self.

And currently I am reading Three Miss Margarets.

More often than not I fall asleep with the the light on and the book in my lap and I couldn't be happier about it.

After cleaning my room yesterday I dusted off my trusty Key-Board and decided to spend a few minutes tickling the ivories (or whatever keyboards are made out of).

I can't wait to someday have a house with a real piano to call my own.

And in that house I want to have a room that has stripes painted on the wall. If it was today I would choose gray strips just like these.

Gray is my current obsession.

I can't enough of it.

And this statement couldn't be more true.

Today

I have the sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy head, fever, so you can't rest cold.

Don't know where I got it... but it can go back to where ever it came from.

Cause its not welcomed here.
