New Assignment

Hey everyone! This semester seems to be flying by and with that, a flood of assignment due dates. My new assignment in my painting class is a self-portrait from life using a mirror as my only guide. Yeah, rough. So to prepare myself for the assignment, I googled portrait artists (because I just love google) and came across this amazing artist Sam Dalby. He's got a really cool style that I'd like to replicate in my painting. Here's some examples of what I'm talking about...


I like his combination of blended and rough strokes. It really gives a dynamic feel to the painting.

I'll be sure to upload some pictures of my progress soon if I don't drown in the work load first. Hope everyone has a good week!

Yep, it's true...

And an old one at that.

Yes sir! I turned 21 today. And I'm kinda shocked I've made it this long (and so would you if you knew how clumsy I am). I figured I'd feel older at this age, but honestly... I feel more like 16 than 21. Maybe it's my height... oh, well. Hope everyone is having a great week!

"Clean up on aisle 3"

How cute is this video?! I'd totally go to Walmart everyday if I had the chance of running into Michael Bublé. Enjoy your Valentine's Day weekend!

You, I like.


Valentine's Day is coming up soon and I'm actually kinda excited! First time in a long time that I'll actually be single on V-day, but that doesn't mean I can't spread the love! Here are some pics and ideas that might make you feel like you've been hit by cupid's arrow!
(Excuse the corniness, I just had to get it out of my system.)

I want this stamp.


Super cute "Darcy proposal" hand towel.


Hilarious love note.


Dresses from Martha
