I finally developed some old photos...

I recently just developed a disposable camera that I've had since last June (or so). I kept forgetting and putting it off. And even those these aren't the greatest, and I only got a handful of *good* ones, I want to start using disposable cameras more often. They're way too fun!

There seem to be a lot of Blake... I guess I have nothing/no one else to take photos of! ;)
Speaking of disposable cameras... my favorite photo app on iPhone is Hipstamatic Disposable! It works exactly like a real disposable camera, where you have to use a whole roll of film before "developing" the photos and seeing how they turn out. It is by far the cutest app ever! AND it's free. What's better than free?!

Adjustments to Le Bedroom!

I added this little bit above my bed a few weeks ago, and am so pleased with it! I later added a row of paper doilies above the "I love you" bunting. So sweet. I've been "wanting" a headboard for my bed for so long, but finally decided to get creative with headboard, and I had some extra fabric hanging around, so here it is! Although, with the addition of my little reading corner... (sharing later this week, I promise!) nothing in my room really matches anymore. So that's my next goal. Achieving one total look for my room. I may need Colby's help! 

And this sweet addition has been up since a little before Valentines Day! I've been trying to come up with something else to put up there, but I'm totally blanking. I'll probably spend my afternoon on Pinterest trying to scrounge up some ideas! 

I promise to be back later this week. I've got a monster of a speech to give on Tuesday! Yuck. And then I'm off to St. Louis on Friday (Blake is going to see Radiohead, and I'm not much of a fan, so I'm hanging out with my aunt and cousin Max). I will definitely try to squeeze in some blog time while I'm there!

Picnics, bare legs, Spring Break, growing closer to Jesus, pretty weather, reading lots of books, 30 Days of Lists, wearing more dresses, painting more, enjoying a season of change, baking more often, learning about vegan baking, making tattoo appointments, blogging more, organizing and making my apartment feel more like my home, hanging out with my best friend.
 This is going to be an amazing month, I can tell.

Currently.

My BFF Colby recently blogged this fun little post, and I thought that I would join in the fun since I'm currently lacking major inspiration and desire to blog. Sad face.

Obsessing Over the new reading corner in my bedroom. I bought my first piece of furniture a few days ago, and I'm in love! I had a bit of buyer's remorse (like I always do), but I got over it quite quickly when I saw how well it fit into my bedroom! My next goal is to actually achieve one total look for bedroom. Yikes. I promise to share it soon!

Thinking About what I'm going to eat for dinner (probably Ramen noodles...) and how I have to be up at 5:30 to get to work by 7 tomorrow! Yucky. I've also been up in the middle of the night a lot lately trying to think of people that my boss could hire this coming winter as a new nanny! I don't know why, but I'm stressing over it!

Anticipating getting my scholarship money back so I can finally get a new Macbook Pro. I need it. Badly. I also need wifi in my apartment. NEED. Also, anticipating the DVD release of The Swell Season documentary. Somehow... I totally missed that one. Not sure how!

Listening To The Civil Wars, at the moment. I've also been listening to a ton of Lana Del Rey. I bought both The Civil War's Barton Hollow and Lana Del Rey's Born to Die on vinyl last week, and they're so good.

Eating nothing at the moment, but I just finished a tasty Chick Fil-A lunch! I'm addicted. And to think that once I used to hate it... silly me!

Wishing for lots of things right now. But most notably: wishing I'd hear from Janel about baby Amelia! She's coming today!!

I hope you all have a good day, and I promise to be back soon... as soon as inspiration hits :)

Bringing Amelia Home.

In the past few years, God has blessed me in so many ways with the amazing friendship of Janel. She's been such a big sister to me, and she'll never know how grateful I've been for all of the texts and emails full of advice. :)

Janel and her husband Adam are adopting a little girl soon (in like, a week!), and as overjoyed as they are and Auntie Haley ;) ... Adoption costs money, and with a little over a week to go, $25,000 is a lot to come up with!
If you follow Janel's blog, then you are probably aware of all of the awesome opportunities available to give to this amazing family. But just in case you don't, here are some different ways!

* Quilt squares for Amelia
* An online yard sale full of original Elsie paintings
* Option to donate any amount of your choice
* Janel's Etsy shop is open for business! Her shop is full of cute prints all in the theme of helping her adopt, and her past online classes!

Be sure to stop by Janel's blog and wish her luck and maybe even help Janel & Adam bring sweet baby Amelia home. :)

Love you Janel! Your sweet family is in my prayers. ♥
