Good dull day/Current Loves


So nothing exciting really happened to me today BUT I feel like I'm on a high of some sort... I was just walking around campus and I couldn't help but smile... people around me probably thought I was silly but who cares... I'm happy :)

Considering that I'm not sure what's making me so happy, it's tough trying to put a list together of what I current love right now... but I'll try.

1. Professors that are on the same teaching wavelength I am on.

2. the cover of Michael Jackson's Beat it done by Fall out boy (I love the guitar in the middle) and
3. Guitar Hero


4. Finding things that I thought were long gone

5. Compliments on my paintings (they keep me going)

6. Regular dinners with my friends

7. Knowing that people close to me are doing amazing things with their lives

8. This flask I got from Urban Outfitters on sale (it says "You will be hungry again in one hour... in bed")

9. Looking at my old paintings and remembering the reasoning for painting it.

10. New opportunities

I hope you're all having a happy good day.

Enjoy!!

Sorry...

I apologize for my lack of posts... I've been trying to make sure everything is settled before I start blogging again... Plus I left my camera at a friend's place so I can't even put up my new pictures... Here are some old paintings I did awhile back. Both paintings are created from photos my friends took.
From my friend Hannah's photo.

From my friend, Pat's photo of a window lock.

Enjoy!!

Here are some more old pictures:

"Mini Adventure"
One of my simpler paintings :)

I also love smaller/more personal companies on Etsy. I purchased a tote bag from PiperBags and they wrapped the purchase so nicely that I had to take a picture.

Sooo busy!!


I've been pretty busy trying to get my room situated and all that jazz before classes start... which means I haven't made my typical trip to the stores :/ However I do have some old pictures of some items I bought awhile back... Until I get my stuff situated, these will have to do for now.

I bought both items for the total of..... $4.00
A lace scarf $0.99
Oscar de la Renta wallet $3.00

Enjoy!

Sell?


As I am moving from one room to another for the school year, I realized that I probably need to get rid of all of my finished art... I'm contemplating on selling them but I'm unsure if my effort to do so will be balanced by the profit I might make. If anything I'll probably try selling them on Etsy. Until then I'll still display them via this blog and will let you know if I do open a store.

Here are some more old paintings:
"Open Happiness"

"Where's my owner?"

Let me know what you think!

Enjoy!

I love LOVE the Salvation Army Family Store.

I got an really pretty leaf pin from there... it's just stunning... I'll probably use it as a pin or as a necklace... for just $2.99

I also got gold rope pin for $1.00! Probably use it as a pin/necklace as well :)

Cheers!!
