sneaky shadows

Bloggers are so cool. The creativity is overwhelming! Seriously.



Color Me Katie created the Shadow Project to answer the question "what do our shadows do behind our backs?" She cut shadows out of black butcher paper and pasted them up around Brooklyn. Then she waited until passerbys lined up with the "shadows" and snapped their pictures. The results are hilarious.

P.S. Check out this Alabama girl who is selling all of her posessions to the highest bidder. Kinda rocks.

handle me at my worst

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." - Marilyn Monroe

I know that true love is loving someone because of their flaws, not despite them. I am honored to be loved by those that love me, and I pray that I can truly love them in return.

inspiration, martha stewart style

Did you know that THE Eddie Ross from Top Design/Martha Stewart fame has a blog? (You probably did.) It is chock full of crafty, Martha Stewarty home decor inspiration courtesy of repurposed flea market finds and (my absolute fave) antique treasures. The archives are a treasure trove if you are looking for a little bit of pretty. I have always loved me some MS (p.s. Did you catch her on Top Chef last week?) and Eddie's experience there shows in his meticulous attention to detail. Also, he was a little over the top on Top Design, which of course I loved! He was a fave, and I definitely did not think he was "granny" like they accused him of being. He is fab!

Enjoy the archive diving!

genius

This homemade photobooth on Inchmark would fulfill one of my goofy Christmas wishes. I really want a few silly strips of me and C to add to my inspiration board. (Is that really so much to ask?) I will need to work on this when we take our road trip across America in a few weeks. In the meantime, if I had half the creativity Brooke has in her little finger, I would attempt to rig one of these up. Until then, I will keep on wishing for a photobooth run-in.

Wouldn't this be perfect for a newlywed couple? Good thing I know a few. So maybe ummmm I need one too. It's a strong possibility.

couple cuteness

I think this umbrella built for two is just too cute! I am not sure how it would work if the two people were not similar in height, but it certainly makes for a cute picture!

a holiday haiku

Christmas time is here.

Joy found not in boxes, no.

In family, dear.

A little bitty bit of poetry I came up with while shopping for angels from the Salvation Army Angel Tree. I plan to use it on all my gift tags this year.
