Tortue and I have been very very busy with a wedding lately. Though I didnt have alot of time to take pictures...so I want to keep them safe. Here's a little peak..


He helped me catch the bouquet   ( )

Yay! I picked up my package today and I love it!

I'll take pictures tonite when I get home.


Here they are (pardon the crappy pic taking skills)

the whole shebang:

the awesome notecards. I think im going to hoard them..i dont like sharing (wink)

a closeup on the awesome turtle bag!


I tried over and over to get a picture of the handcarved turtle soap, to no avail. However, my favorest thing (which I couldnt photograph either) was the stuffed turtle with interchangeable shells!!! I've already changed him a few times, teehee.

Thanks so much craftADDchick, you were an awesome partner!

So, Tortue arrived last week, and I finally found the camera cord.

A few pictures to update everyone.

As soon as I got him out of the box, he wanted to nap..it was a long drive home, so I buckled him in and took off


When we got home, he saw 1 of the 4 tv's in the house and wanted to   explore. However, the remote doesnt seem to work well with turtle flippers.


So, he asked Steve, the wonderful SO, to help him out. Needless to say, they became fast friends, and Tortue was given the honorary position on top of Steve's head when he plays videogames.


haha. He's fitting right in.

Well, now you've all done it. i was trying to keep it a secret, but my silly little Ridley caught me.

he's already started preparing for his trip....

ooooook, i need help. massive help. i have no artistic ability, in the least..period. (zip)

im looking to get a tattoo of my heroes, (mama, daddy, papaw and granny) in the form of their birth flowers. (rose, carnation, marygold, gladiolus) in a bouquet. i found little coloring pages of all of them and i did some cutting and pasting to put them all in here, but can someone with photoshop or some other amazing skill help me out a bit?  i'll love you forever and make you a present!

Alrighty, after two of the busiest days of my collegiate career, i managed to take pictures


the whole turtleygoodness


the most wonderfullest bracelet ever. i havent taken it off, cept to take the picture, since i recieved it on tuesday and goodness..i adore it.


the scarf, which i wore today, and the windchimes hanging over my bed.

thanks sooo much akakaylamay

I'm itching to get my next tattoo, i just cant quite get the specifics right. I KNOW that I want a lotus flower on the inside of my right wrist. I know I want it really simplistic, just an outline, but I cant seem to draw one just right..

Any great artists out there that can help me out? I know I want it similar to the one below, minus the heart...

ok, so I know im WAYYYYY behind the times, but I finally made my own

I adore it. It's me from the style to the flipflops to the weird eyebrow cocking thing...

With 3 neices and nephews (soon to be four) under the age of 2 in my family, birthdays get difficult. They all have to be similar, and since I'm the one of my family in college, they almost expect presents from me to be "educational" ...so what's a girl to do?

Make felt books with their names in them. With each letter on a page with an image of that same letter,


I cut their name out of felt "Makayla" in this case, for the front of the book, and bound them with thread to make them kid friendly.

these were my favorites, I love dinosaurs


overall the babies were content, trying to read them to themselves, and their parents were amused too.

what do YOU think?
