This is what the world

looks like when you finally have a car of your own to drive again: 

Haha :DD 

Not terrifically economical or 'green' but maaaynn its got some low mileage and makes me feel like i'm driving a monster truck.

(those super sweet trees and such were added using Picnik!)

They finally decided (after two dang months) to total my little car and write us a check. It was all kinda sucky and frustrating considering I didn't cause the wreck, and I LOVED my Rio, but ah well, it all happens for a reason. Let this be a warning though- Don't take cell phone calls and drive!! Cause it might just take someone's perfect little car away, or worse their life, and make your insurance go way up. 

Have you ever been in a wreck? Was your insurance experience as insane as mine? I've heard tons of people where it was easy as cake but gosh, not the case for us. Annyyways :) Have a great day peeps!

All the best,

Room ReDec!

We finally finished! :D 

The downstairs bedroom is now officially my craft/ clothes/ and spare bedroom room :D 

I think it turned out so rad, but don't take my word for it! Tons of pictures!:

The three little illustrations shown above are prints from the amazing crazy talented Ambird. Who also now has a blog!! ^_^ check her out here: amberlynnseegmiller.blogspot.com

The best part is, we only spent $100 on the whole room! I used a ton of thrifted finds I had that were mismatched throughout the house and combined them in this lovely sparkly room! I wish the pictures came out clearer to accurately represent all of the awesome haha. It's full of color and brightness and tons of art and gemstones and crafts supplies and cloootthhess! We were running out of room for all of them in the rest of the house heh. Speaking of sparkly awesomeness, I tried Sally Johnson Salon Effects nail strips today and they came out amazing! 

I'll have to do a full review sometime! They were pretty time consuming, but pretty worth it I'd say! :)

Not everything this weekend was as awesome though, on our way home from shopping for all of these things, a truck turned into our lane and smashed up my little Kia pretty bad :( 

Thankfully no one was hurt, (except a pretty whopper bruise on my knee) and I think the insurance will cover everything, but it was just not a fun way to start the weekend ya know?

Ah well, everything will work out.

I've missed you guys!

All the best and brightest,

Grace Elizabeth.
