Tell Your Story....

Image
Yay! This week the class for Tell Your Story began. It's been fun and thought provoking! I want to try and keep pace with the sessions. So far these are the pages that I've completed! This kinda reminds me of a journal my English teacher had us do in high school. She would write a quote everyday and we had to journal how it made us feel or what we thought it meant. There was no art but that was a pretty cool idea. Hmmm...I wonder if I still have that journal somewhere? See ya tomorrow! xoxo Alicia

Business Cards!

Image
I have new business cards! I ordered them from Moo . They're the mini cards, with my pictures. I thought it would be fun to use a baby picture on the back with my info. I can't wait to give these out and also ordering more! See ya tomorrow! xoxo Alicia

Something I Made and a Bargain....

Image
I made this little book reusing magazine pages and card stock. Where it was too dark I added card stock for writing space. Each page has a pocket! I can't wait to use it. Okay sorry for the pretty bad picture. But I had to share the bargain I found Sunday. If you get a chance you should head over to Michael's. I got 2 Canson sketch pads which were buy one get one, 3 Hello Kitty Activity books (for gifts, $1 each), 2 Hello Kitty letter sets ($1 each), the yarn was $.99 each! The yarn was a close out deal, I think I need to go get some more! See ya tomorrow! xoxo Alicia

Monday Pretties...

Good Morning!!! I hope everyone had a great weekend! We had pretty nice weather this weekend and I was luck enough to enjoy some of it yesterday. So here we go: What I'm loving.... I LOVE and adore this red booties! I think I need a pair right now! They're red, which is one of my favorite colors, A+! Well, I'm not the biggest fan of the high top Converse but if I had them in all these colors, I definitely wouldn't mind. Especially the pastels! I can't reduce this little face! Seeing little guys like this makes me want to go out and get a puppy :) After plumerias, peonies are one of my favorites! I want a plant of my own! Ummm...I wonder if I have a green thumb? I know, I already mentioned loving bicycles, but I really like this floral pattern. It makes the bicycle more unique. So there you have it! I hope we all have a Great Week! See ya tomorrow! xoxo Alicia all images found via weheartit

Travel Daydream Thursday...

Image
all images via weheartit Ahhhh.....This is what I'm hoping for this summer. A getaway to the coast! In my imagination we're staying in a seaside cottage. It doesn't have to faraway either. It could be here in my state. Waking up in a sun-filled house, drinking coffee, watching the waves crash on the shore. Night walks along the beach, the star-filled sky, bonfires! There's so many possibilities..... Where do you want to go? xoxo Alicia

Finished!!!

So the Indie Biz course is over :( I miss it! But this means that now I'm better prepared to handle my Indie Biz. Other than that I'm spending the day researching future topics for the blog. Drinking lots of coffee and tea. And working on my art journal. Here are some pretty cups I want! See ya tomorrow! xoxo Alicia

Art Journaling...

Image
Hello! These are art journal pages that I made for my sister. She and I have a journal that we send back and forth to each other. We share things that we love at the moment, inspire us or what we know the other likes. We actually started this journal project in 2003. But after a few months my Sister got bored with it. So I held onto it. I had been thinking about using it for my own personal art journal. But that didn't feel right. So I put it away and forgot about it. When I pulled it out, it was fun rediscovering our entries. These are all the more recent pages I've made. See ya tomorrow! xoxo Alicia

Ooops! This was supposed to be posted earlier but I had way too much fun last night with my friends! So much fun sitting by the bonfire, sharing beers and stories... okay on to the things I'm loving This armchair is gorgeous. I would love to have it in the corner of my bedroom, so it could my reading chair. This is the work of Audrey Kawasaki. I LOVE her work! Her work feels dreamy. It would be great if she had prints for sale. Because I'd buy a ton! Bat for Lashes! I love her style and her music! If you get a chance to check out her music, do it. My favorite song from her first album is "What's a Girl to do?" I want this wand to blow bubbles with! I LOVE vintage suitcases! I have a pretty cream colored one but a pink one like this would be great too! all images found via weheartit Well I hope everyone has a great week! See ya tomorrow! bye xoxo

A Find...

Have you seen this magazine around? I found it by chance about a week ago, when I stopped at Rite-Aid for something to drink. I was perusing the magazines like I always do and there it was. The cover and the name are really what caught my attention. Once I flipped through the mag the images and articles were too good to pass up. If you love flea market finds, advice and reuse ideas Don't pass this one up! P.S. They have are great ideas on reusing readers digest books!

Art Journal~ Tell Your Story

Image
YAY! I worked on my pages this weekend and I'm happy with my results! I wish there were more bonus pages to work on because now all I want to do is work on the art journal! Maybe I should do this in my personal journal just so I have an outlet in the meantime. Okay here are the my pages and one detail image. Can you tell the detail image was an accident? LOL... Somehow I prompted the scanner to grab two images. hehe bye xoxo

Good Morning! Here are the things I'm loving right now, especially since it's so gloomy outside. I LOVE this little robot and his camera! I want this little guy :) I want this bicycle! I love the color and the basket. This would be great to have around this summer. I'd look for any excuse to ride. I love this room. The only change I'd make would be a bigger bed! LOVE! I want a ton of mini gardens like this all over the place. I've been dreaming about this for the last two months. LOL... And I really like this container. And lastly, I swoon over this cottage! Well cottages in general really but this one is pretty amazing. I love to fill it with cozy furniture, lots of floral patterns, vintage tea cups and vintage books. Have a GREAT WEEK! bye xoxo ps. oops I forgot to mention all the images were found via weheartit
