Under my Umbrella

This photo is simply magical. I can't help but smile and feel inspired. Don't you agree??
I'm very sleepy, so I'm going to take a nap before dinner, but I'll come back later with a proper post.

Just something to inspire

I don't know about you, but I find inspiration in most everything. For me, it could be a photo, a simple melody, a tree, or a color... I love being inspired, and I came to the realization that I used to post many more inspiration posts than I do now... I'm going to work on this. This will be the first of many more inspirational posts to come. Hope it gets those creative juices flowin.







Pretty spectacular, no? What inspires you most?? I'd love to know what helps you create, or just makes you pensive... Sweet dreams.

Urban Day

So, the Mr. and I have a little tradition we like to do; it's called Urban Day. We drive to Dallas and go to Urban Outfitters and a delicious restaurant called Urban Taco. It's not really extravagant, but it's special and we only do it once in awhile. This Sunday was an Urban Day! :) We got struck in wicked traffic though, which led to these...


Yeah, we're silly, but we had a lot of time to kill... :)

Music Monday: Swift

Well, I'm not sure if y'all are fans, but I sure am. Today Taylor Swift's new album comes out and yes, I have been waiting quite some time for it. I think it's just the girly side of me that just loves sweet love songs^_^ And i'll be honest, I just like the girl. She's seems so nice and I appreciate her classiness; unlike many of the young starlets her age, she has managed to stay away from any scandals. I can appreciate that. And I think she's pretty.

Coffee House Fun

I got to have my own little table at my Dorm's Coffee House^_^ It was cute and I had a lot of sweet girls stop by. I'm sorry I don't have any more pictures, but it was a rather dark area... 


Tonight my church is sponsoring a little event. We're watching a movie in the park and I'm so excited. Now, if only these gloomy clouds would go away!

PS: I'm going to have a new giveaway this Monday, along with some guest bloggers {fingers crossed} Everyone is just so busy these days... Are you as stressed out too?  Life does seem unexpectedly busier than usual. Well, enjoy your Friday and don't stress!

I've ventured in doing this once before, but never followed through. I'd really like to make these pretty embroidery fabric covered circles^_^ Don't they look so pretty?? I have lovely fabric, but not nearly as beautiful as these Liberty of London swatches... If you're interested in giving it a try, here's a link to the DIY. Send me photos if you're successful!

I am human.

I realize that I haven't been as talkative lately and I decided to share with you on a level I usually don't. I tend to be a little less informative on my personal problems and this is kind of difficult for bloggers. How much is too much when it comes to sharing? Do you all even care? Well, looking through previous posts and what I've shared, it must at often times appear as though I have a pretty perfect life. I just wanted to say that though I tend to focus on the positive and bring out the inspiration of my days, I am far from perfect. In fact, I am fatally flawed, but that's okay, I'm human. I don't like to go on and on about annoyances in my day or tough situations, because quite frankly I'm sure you have your own issues and the last thing you want is to be bogged down by my worries, so instead I try to be a beacon of light to a rather dim world. I hope to be a sigh of relief to your busy day, a quick pick me up in the middle of a not so good situation and a friend to say hello when no one else has. 

I just wanted to be sure to say that I don't mean to hold this impossibly high standard of happiness. I try very hard to find joy in the simplest of things so that my worries won't get the best of my day. Usually, if I don't say hello from time to time it's because life has gotten the best of me and I'm simply a busy girl. Yes, it's true, I have a life. hehe. I wish I could devote my life to blogging and crafting; making pretties all the livelong day, but unfortunately I'm not quite at that place in my life yet {but one day, maybe^_^}

I'm not sure why I felt the need to to write this, but I just wanted to encourage you to be happy I guess. It doesn't matter how many "imperfections" you may think you have, you're perfect just the way you are. If you're going through a season of heartache, it's okay because one day soon, it'll pass. I guess this is a bit of a pep talk for myself as well. We're flesh and bones. And thank goodness God loves us just the way we are.

I love my readers so much and I hope you all know how much you mean to me. Have a lovely night.
