Mail Time!

I love [lovelovelove] receiving packages in the mail, so when I found a nice sized one crammed in my mailbox the other day, I was pretty excited!

The package was from LeeLee of JustBecauseByLeeLee. We organized a fun craft swap/random happiness swap, and boy, did she delivery.

pins, jewelry, sequins, ribbon, unicorns, pink, and more!

I still need to finish up on mine--I hope she is just as happy with hers when she gets it. :D

New Post: New Nails

Remember that girl that use to post blog posts around here? heh  I know I've been pretty quite around here lately--but, I'm back! My posting will start to even out again soon, I even have some posts lined up, just need to add them to the queue.

However, while I was M.I.A. I noticed I've reached 200 followers. That is so awesome! Thank you all for thinking my little corner of the web was worth sticking around for.  I'm thinking that might call for a giveaway....hmmmm ;D

To add some color to this tiny little update, here are some recent photos of my nails. I haven't been painting them much, but now that it's warm again, I have a feeling I'll want to a lot more.

You see how my big toe is a dark shade? That's not polish, that's a bruise. That covers my entire nail!
The crazy thing is--I have NO idea how that happened. :\

I was going to put glitter over all of my nails. but then decided I liked some of them just a solid mint green.

Happy Friday the 13th!

Yay--blogger is back!  While it was down I managed to get some new necklaces up on my Etsy. There will be PLENTY of more new necklaces coming your way shortly, but for right now, please enjoy these. :D

....and to add some extra good fortune to today, use code FRIDAYTHE13TH to get 13% off of your entire order.

If I were a dog- I would be a hot dog.

Oh my wow--is is a scorcher today! The heat has officially hit the South!

I'm trying to stay out of the heat today and catch up on the Internet. Being sick really put me behind, but I'm slowly getting back on track. Hopefully by the end of the week I will have a lot of new goodies on my Etsy for you all to check out. While I'm working on that, I thought it would be fun to post some pet portraits I took last summer. I love taking portraits of animals--I'm hoping to get to photograph this super adorable baby donkey in the coming weeks. :D

Everyone, meet Katie. [and her wonderful owner of course]

-knock knock- Anyone home?

I've been pretty M.I.A. this past week. It's because I was knocked on my butt by some bug I caught. I walked around like a zombie for the first two days and then slept through another two. Now that I'm feeling more of the living I've been running around getting everything ready for the Athens Indie Craftstravaganzaa show this Saturday!! I'm pretty pumped for it- can't wait to meet some of you! :D
