Snow Day ZZZZ

Okay, so it's freezing! We've been iced in all weekend. It's been nice. I've been productive. Woo!

So, I lined the drawers in the bathroom cabinet with a super fun piece of scrapbook paper and some contact paper. I made some yoyos out of some of my moms old clothes she gave to me to throw away. (The yoyos are for a secret project I have planned. ) I organized more of my craft supplies. I cleaned the whole apt. We finally started working on cleaning up some of the random music equipment that's been lying around for quite some time. A LOT of girly movies were watched in our house this weekend. I started organizing my closet. Overall, I feel like I can sleep easier now. I like getting things done.

I wish there was just a teensy bit more snow and a lot less ice. Then I could do this!!!!


Until then, I'm getting some sleep.

Venus & Mars

Venus & Mars in Nashville, TN is exactly the source I've looked for forever! Just looking online, I've been inspired and am dying to take a trip to Nashville just to shop there! If you don't already know about this incredible vintage store, you definitely should! Check it out girls!!!

iPhone Shooting Tips

Before, when I just took pictures like a maniac...LOL


If you're like me and find yourself taking a lot of pictures with your iPhone, you're going to love this helpful tips from the interns over at Craftzine. I surely do. :-D Now if I could just go back to NYC. Sigh.

Beautiful Things Can Come From The Dark

Someone else’s boy, you’ve had it so hard,
Will you grow up to be you,
Or a sum of your parts just hanging in the air?
Someone else’s boy, tell me your convoluted stories through half-rotten mouth,
I will decipher them, to tell the world of your heart,
How beautiful things can come from the dark,
Oh, boy




Someone else’s boy, I have seen your face,
Light in the stars, it was then I knew,
That your heart was pure, that it had not yet been destroyed,
Oh, no

Someone else’s boy, I have hope for you,
That you will keep your love for the world,
Even though it beats you down, every day,
For the rest of your stay

If you could sweep up the pieces and watch them swirl,
You could even find love in the arms of someone else’s girl

Someone else’s boy, though your life has been short,
You’ve seen more pain than most of us know,
If you make it through this, vacuum up the mess,
Smile to yourself, lying on your nice new clean floor

"Beautiful Things Can Come From the Dark" by Azure Ray

More than anything, I love the lyric "beautiful things can come from the dark". I truly believe that. Maria Taylor is amazing on this track. The melody is haunting. Gosh, I love this song!!!!!
