(via i am blessed)

I didn’t want to oversleep this morning.
I woke up on time. (Early even)

I don’t want to have cancer.
I don’t.

I didn’t want to get into an accident on the way to work.
I haven’t.

I didn’t want it to rain while I was taking photos for this post.
It didn’t.

I didn’t want Harlow to drive my company crazy last night.
She behaved.

I didn’t want to pay a $317.82 bill for my cell phone.
They fixed it.

When I heard about a bad truck accident down south I didn’t want my dad to be involved in it.
He wasn’t.

I don’t want my strawberry plants to die.
They haven’t.

I didn’t want to have to train the new guy at work.
I haven’t.

All I can say is thank goodness summer is finally here! It’s no longer pitch black when I get up at 5am, the days are longer, and my flip flops are finally free of the closet!

These awesome cat photos…

Maybe I’m really tired but these are so funny to me right now.

Some beautiful pieces by Fuss Jewelry.

can’t remember where i saw these pieces first… but aren’t they gorgeous??

The lovely ladies over at Paisley Petunia asked me to do a little piece on the best way to spend $30 in Santa Barbara.

Only $30? I didn’t think it was possible… it turns out it totally is! And I had a fantastic day as well!

Check it out over here…

Thanks again to Christina and Stephanie! xo

How awesome are these Carved Crayons by Pete Goldlust?

I am loving these illustrations by Danny Roberts.

I’ve always been one for creative projects and art and crafts.
When I was five, I convinced myself that pouring mud onto cardboard was how to make concrete.
I began drawing as a young child, but it wasn’t until a few years ago when I decided to practice everyday, that I started getting better.
I would draw some days for 15 hours straight till my hands were swollen shut.
When I was 13 I starting my own clothing company and ran it with the help of my friend till I was was in college.
I studied Photography at Cal Poly SLO, and then later studied Fashion Design at the Academy of Art in San Francisco.
My artwork was honored by being the first featured portfolio of 2007 Graduates on the WGSN Generation Now Website,
a unique showcase of graduating talent from the world’s leading universities and design colleges.
I’ve been blessed to have my artwork featured in multiple publication in countries I hope to visit some day
