love

nick got me a bunch of tea lights for christmas;
in cherry blossom, peony, and vanilla scents.
at first, i wasn't quite sure what to do with them,
but i've been obsessed with hearts all day today
so, go figure~


sending you love and warmth this sunday,
marie

just too good!

i LOVE LOVE LOVE her!

queen of hearts

no sunday school this morning (winter break)
so i the kid and i spent the morning together and walked to the park.
on our way there we stomped through fallen leaves,
practiced counting to 100~
me counting off on odd numbers, her even, then switching it again and again,
and stopping every now and then to look at pretty flowers.
i was able to snap a quick camera phone pic,
before she spotted the playground and made a mad dash for the swingset.
here she is, holding a singular hello kitty glove.



spent the rest of my sunday morning
drinking orange pekoke tea,
listening to Queen
(i'm loving "you're my best friend"...
i've been playing it again and again!)
and dreaming about making photo/art/decorations like this:

some days

need a little bit of extra help making it through.

today that extra help came in the form of:

*sunshine coming thru the blinds, casting pretty shadows
*sips of ginger peach green tea
*morning star farms chik'n nuggets
*a new colour-coded notebook/ journal
*a tuberose and gardenia scented soy candle
*art orders coming my way
&

an old skool polariod found the other day in the storage room (still dusty!)...
i can't wait to order film and photograph something fun!

oh, and hello kitty panda. she just made my day.

whats up?

howdy...
did everyone survive thanksgiving ok?
food, family... washrinserepeat?
me too.

i feel like (almost exactly a week later) i've just started to recover...
and of course, christmas is right around the corner!

normally, i cringe at this time.
but this year, i'm feeling the spirit :)

earlier this week i sabotaged my sisters cute little christmas tree
and decorated it my own little craft-thingy and hello kitty.
(all this while she went shopping for xmas decor and accessories)

she, of course, took my stuff down, explaining that she was looking for something more 'classy', which was totally fine.

i'm glad i got a snapshot of my little interpretation though!


i freak out at the crowds at the stores during the shopping season, so i bought all my christmas items at last years after christmas sale...

all i had to do was bust them out and get to adding small touches that i thought would be fun.


l'm so not into that cheesy photo greeting card everyone sends around, though i think it's a good idea... i just prefer to make something customizeable, but also have each piece be individual and unique.

anyway, i'm not giving out gifts this year, so i thought i'd spend a little more time and effort with the cards.

it want it to be that way in everything that i do.

more to come!

hey baby

happy 1 month baby jasmine! <3 you!
