ignore the crappy quality of the pictures, but I organized my bookshelf by color and set various things on top of it. Ye.

Today I am not feeling well.

But the weekend was great. Stayed in and spent the night at Laurens on Halloween. Sunday we picked up Nicole, went to Laura's apartment in Pasadena and hung out. Met Shannon at the Getty.

I really really loved the Irving Penn exhibit. I loved seeing the way everyday people presented themselves in the past, there was a sense of pride that you don't see today. And it's always nice to see the Van Gogh Iris painting and the Monets and my very favorite Spring by Lawrence Alma-Tadema.

After that, we headed to the Sunset plaza and had a delicious meal at Clafoutis on the sidewalk. That was followed by too many red velvet cupcakes back at Laura's, the best ice cream ever and astrology.


This is the color I'm painting my room. Okay..it's a little lighter in person, but my monitor isn't calibrated so..whatever. It's called Restless Seas by Valspar and it's part of the Seaside Retreat collection. I think it'll go well with my intended decorations.



Other than that..I'm going to put out a new Blurb Book. Only it's not going to cost an arm and a leg and I hopefully wont be telling people NOT to buy it because of the price. (such a good saleswoman)...I'm going to start shooting in Nov-Dec-Jan and I'm aiming for March or April as an intended release date. Throwing around ideas for a title still and I have a basic premise. At this point the book will be less about me making money off of it and more about me making it affordable so people can have it. And all my friends are beautiful, wonderful models so it makes that part of the equation quite simple.

Felting! I want to felt something. What is felting, you ask? It's awesome. That's all I have to tell you. It's all autumny and pretty without any of the talent required for knitting or crocheting. Which I unfortunately do not possess.










Now..I'm pretty positive this is probably going to go the way of my quilling escapade...but who cares! You get to stab things with three pronged needles!


Also, I want to make this.

I return triumphant!

Actually not really, I'm really tired and I miss Dan a lot. But we got to see the leaves AND the Anthro in Glen Mills AND Terrain AND carve pumpkins. It was fall-tacular and I loved every minute of it. Pictures on the FB.

If there was a terrain nearby, I would definitely want to work there.

Other than that, I'm still working on photos from my shoot with Gabby. Here is a small sneak peek.

I've been kind of MIA on this blog...Nothing really has happened lately.

Tomorrow is my photoshoot with Gabby and Lauren for Gabby's jewelry line, GabbyBella. I am so happy to have so many beautiful and talented friends.

After that, I've got a few days of school and closing shifts at work and then I'm heading to the east coast for an extended weekend in Philly. Thankfully the cold front over there is going to pass by the time I get there and it should be in the low 60's...which is still cold for me...but at least it's not snowing or something.

Other than that..I'm trying to save up for things that I want...unfortunately they're all expensive things. A new Camera, a Mac, a pug, a trip to Hawaii.. They all have their pros and cons. Blah, I'll probably just end up buying clothes.

Hawaii 2007 - life is good.
