Treasure Jar Giveaway!

Well my lovely readers, the time has finally come! You can now officially enter to win this

Treasure Jar:

"Do you remember as a kid that shoebox, or jar, or windowsill that you
lined up your most prized possessions?

Your figurines and dirty river stones and lucky items of the marble, penny, and rock variety?

This is a way to get that back.

This Treasure Jar has been lovingly collected and created,

wished into and compiled with the greatest care.

It holds envelopes of secret notes, glass vials, river stones and your sisters earrings

(you borrowed a few weeks ago but forgot to give back.)

The tickets you won from the carnival last summer.

The letter from your best friend.

I wanted to create something that let you know how wonderful and treasured

you are, and we are.

I wanted you to remember what we knew as kids,

but have forgotten as adults."

Also, in these pictures I am wearing my new/old dress just purchased from Vintch. I completely love it. She was such a sweet seller, and has an amazing heartfelt blog as well!

I styled it to look a little like the blue dress Skeeter wears in the movie The Help, haha.

And yes, I was rocking the jedi braid ^__^

Have a beautiful day.

Instagram Update :)

Something Teeny About Me

I'm starting a new mini series called,

Where I do a little post telling you guys something about me. Just a small, little anecdote paired with maybe an illustration or photo :)

-----

In Highschool, I had to have a torturous 'palette expander' attached to the roof of my mouth, like a metal spider. It made eating food like a human impossible, the prospect of "making out" even more terrifying, and super difficult to pronounce
a lot of things, especially my name.

I still get self-conscious when introducing myself.

Lazy bloggin' :P

Oh sleeping in late, giggly sleepy kisses, yard sale shopping, teeny tiny adorable cabin renting, strolling through the city, shopping for rocks and minerals and soaps and jewelry, sweet little libraries, trees with scarves knitted all around them to keep them warm, matching hello kitty bandaids, swimming in freezing cold water, adorable floral bedspread, penny arcade, demonic monkey, plaid and leather camping outfit, sunny kisses and cuddelin, we miss you already :)

Keep our teeny one room cabin warm for us Manitou, see you soon <3

Floral Florida :)

We're back from our little 'camping' esque trip :) It was so darn nice to get away from everything, even just for a little while. Some pretty pictures from that will be up soon!

It's always so hard for me to go back to regular life after vacations, heh. We're STILL missing Florida pretty sorely. One of the things that I miss the most that you just don't see here is all of the beautiful and strange and sometimes adorable wildlife!

Those lizards just killed me! Too cute! I wanted to collect all 7 million of them and bring them home :)

That little guy was flapping his weird neck deal in order to keep us away probably, but it was adorable! hahah, I think I'm a reptile person as it turns out :P

Some fish and ducks got the idea that we were going to feed them while we were watching them by the dock, then out of the blue up popped two creepy necked turtles! I love turtles usually but these things had some seriously long scary necks, weird pointy noses and yellow eyes! Ick. Maybe I'm not a reptile person after all haha.

We're so used to seeing deer and ground squirrels and the occasional fox out here, but never all these crazy reptiles and beautiful flowers and plants growing wildly. It was awesome :)

Oh Florida *sigh* we'll come back for you someday.


Have a beautiful Monday, readers.




P.S. I've been working on the giveaway a little, and should have a sneak peak coming soon! 
It is for seriously rad :D

By the way,

:P

But really Friday, Sorry! DX

So sorry this feature is a day late!

Help me become a stay at home blogger and I will stop sucking at posting on time :D

Cause as it turns out, I may need some :(

My favorite colors! Which is your favorite? And don't you just LOVE

Spimow! I want this so frankin' bad!

 The coolest, nerdiest combination of my interests ever!

We've been planning today for our little spur of the moment trip this weekend!

Just to a close little town to stay in a cabin by a creek, it looks darn lovely. I can't wait :)) I hope your weekend is as wonderful, readers. You genuinely are on my thoughts all the time! I wish I could meet you all and have tea and braid your hair, haha.

Whether it is in your outlook on life, your observations, your intellect or surroundings,

have a beautiful day today, readers. You deserve it.
