I'll Paint Anything

Like Rocks, for example. I pocketed some on my walk home from the mall a couple of Sundays ago, and Dude & I got to work.

My favourites...

I also "borrowed" some a neighbour's alley pile. That he probably paid for. Oh well...they look even better with blue polka dots!

May Goals DONE! Well...almost...

It looks like I just needed a break from the blog to get things done. Yay me.

Clean Up Yard > I still need to move some pots to the front and get some new plants in there, but we are getting a new fence this year so I don't know if I want to risk having a bunch of handymen trampling on them. Poot.

Make a Mini Album > It's coming along nicely. Messy, artsy, just the way I like it.

New Clothes Shopping > Target Grand Opening...a couple days later. Note to Self: The boys think "give me one hour" means "give me 32 minutes then start texting me to see if I'm done yet". So next time, no boys tagging along.

Be Brave > I'm working on it. Truthfully, it feels more "completely idiotic" than brave...but....

What's special-lovely-wonderful in your life lately? Do share!

Here comes the bride

It's been 10 Years + one week.

Some Facts About My Wedding:

1. I'm still good friends with all of my bridesmaids.

2. We had a big snow storm earlier in the week, but all the snow had melted and it was absolutely gorgeous by the weekend.

3. The lady DJ was flirting with my Uni buddies and actually played "Strokin"...dear...lord....

4. My sister got married at this same location in 2009, and Nadine was married there in 2008 (oh man, I hope I got that year right!)

5. Our wedding photographers (and most others) were still using film back then. The only digital pictures I have of my wedding are from some relatives, including this one.

6. My hair was REALLY SUPER BLONDE! Yikes!

There are loads of wonderful things I could say about my wedding, but we'll leave it there. It was a good day.

#springishere

And it's about damn time.

So the topic for What to Wear this week is "my favourite spring dress". Well, I don't know if it's my favourite, but it really needs to get more play. And the colours are weird, and the shape & fit. And it's not quite long enough....oh man. Can you tell this was an impulse internet purchase? I've cut myself off!

Dress // Modcloth (I think...)

Sandals // Saltwaters from Modcloth

Full Slip // Thrifted (is that embarrassing? I never can tell.)

Headband // Secondhand scarf

That face is cause I just ate a HUGE burger and some delicious beer-battered onion rings. Full belly! Oh dear...and then I played with my cotton candy. I am a laugh riot people, I tell you. That's why I'm such a popular dork.

For all the What to Wear goodness you could possibly handle on this gorgeous Thursday evening, check out the full link up on Nicole's blog. Cause I guess that was the whole point of this post! And also this...

that is all.

Sunrise over the South Pacific

Insight into my soul #1: I would love to watch the sunrise one morning. Wake up early on purpose, and find somewhere lovely and quiet to sit, and enjoy some coffee and my thoughts.
