waaaah, it is really over! I am not going to lie at first  I was like this is IT?! But these are the characters that I most connected with , so it is only fitting that they are all together at the end. AND after devouring every morning recap ( and here) and rewatching the ending, I am satisfied. your thoughts?

ps, weren't the target commercials awesome?! I still look at this one from the holidays,instant happiness, lol.

CANNOT WAIT! yes fully aware of the kanye caps but i cannot help it...lol!  i we need it, love our family vacations! already starting to gather things together, purchased the perfect new swimsuit from here in rosy peach, starting to mentally pack for my lil' pack and purge what they can no longer fit and buy replacements.

on a teaching buzz after my first two classes. i really did have the sweetest people in my classes, thank you guys for making my first teaching experience such a wonderful experience!


a quick lunch break at jack in the box, so yummy! My sister was not happy when I tweeted where I had lunch, we have good memories of jitb from TN...nom nom!

so thats whats up.

I can already tell this week is going to be a quick one. I had a great Mother's Day weekend spent with family. s2 and their dad gave me these gorgeous tulips + a gc to the movies! I can't wait to use it to see SATC2 for free!  I love flowers with tulips being one of my favorites, they're lasting well to my surprise! I guess the key is to keep them away from sunny areas in the house, will have to remember that when I bring freash flowers home in the future.

I am packing up supplies to share for my workshop on Thursday at Inspired Artist Workshop in Charlotte. I am driving south tomorrow morning, can't believe it is here! I would be lying if I didn't say I was nervous, be gentle on me girls! ;) But I am also very excited!

Another page down, in the lala mini, it is getting so big with very few pages left empty. I am glad it is almost done, so many happy memories in it.

Well, I am off to fedxkinko's to make copies of the handouts for the class, have a great week! I can't wait to share my experience at Inspired, look for updates via my tweets!

all about the nudes

I really have my eye on a pair of nude heels, I love all of these styles buy I am heavily leaning towards 3(the mules). I love the wooden heel and the touch I glitter, what do you say? I have way too many black heels and another color is a welcomed choice! :)

ps...the weather is blah today so I didn't get a chance to snap pictures of my finished mini, but I will post it tomorrow.
