Oh Joy!

Okay, let me start by saying woo! So much to share with you.

First and foremost, I've truly been trying very hard to talk to you everyday, but I haven't been very good at it. SO, this summer I promise to give you my full attention! Expect lots of inspiration, DIY's, giveaways and just all around loveliness:) I'm excited!

This weekend my sis and I are going to the Renegade Craft fair in Austin! EEEEE! I am so excited! I love seeing what other artists are doing and often find my inspiration from such inspiring people as the ones that are going to be there:) Cannot wait!

This past week, boyfriend and I went to New Mexico to visit friends and family. It was fun to roadtrip with him. We ate so much Mexican food & I was pretty sure I gained 50lbs! AND we had bubble tea (3x's!!) but it wasn't enough! I still need to find a place nearby to give me my bubble tea fix...

As for shop news, you can expect a GIANT update very soon! I simply cannot wait to share with you all the lovely things i've been working on! They're pretty beautiful if I can say so myself. A LOT of new things are going to be added... including jewelry! I think you'll like it, I hope you do... is there anything you'd like to see in there? I always like suggestions:)

I got new canvases today and fully intend on being outside all day painting! I've been thinking all day about what I want to create... I'll show you some pics tomorrow:)

Love Loves. Melisa

Boo.

Well there's no Lost tonight. Just a repeat, which I can

enjoy, but not nearly as much as I would enjoy a neeew

episode. Disappointment. Do you watch Lost? You should.

It's only the greatest show... ever!

So I decided to take a break from studying, mostly cause I

feel pretty confident that i'll do well on my finals, to share

with you two handsome faces. Look at em!

Aren't they just the sweetest things?? I'd name the top one

Nigel and the llama Alfred, because they look refined.

I know i'm odd, but I know you can appreciate my

willingness to share it with you:)

Thanks for reading friends.

Sunny Day.

Happy Day! Today I only had two classes! Fancy that. I decided to... Create! I made 23 new things for the update (TBA) No peeks yet, but soon. aaaand Pack! I just have to pack up my clothes and i'll be good to go! Excitement!!

Soon I will be enjoying my very last trip to Chik Fil A for the semester. All in all my day has been pretty fantastic. I'll try and take photos of my new pretties later tonight, but for now I have to fill out study guides. Finals are just around the corner! Eeep!

Loves. Melisa

Oh me Oh my!

I'm trying very hard to be more diligent in writing to you daily, but sometimes the whirlwinds of homework and to do's just get the very best of me. Sorries! Okay now that we've made up, here's some pictures of a lovely wreath I made!

I was inspired by my beautiful Liberty of London pillow. I hope to get the matching quilt soon too:) I can't decide if I should keep this lovely, or post it on my Etsy. Hmmm.....

I had to send home my bike today:( I'll see it in a week though!

Hope all is well and I shall talk to you soon.

Rain Rain Rain

What a lovely rainy day! You may never hear me say those words, because I detest the rain, but today is just perfect because I have nothing to do, but stay in my warm bed, watch movies and read all day! I'm a happy bug:)

Have a sweet rainy day filled with good reads and warm blankets!

How He loves us so!

It's Easter weekend and I can't help but feel

totally and completely overwhelmed by God's

love. It's beautiful. I'm not sure where you

stand in your beliefs, but if you have an

incling that you may not agree with what

i'm about to stay, I ask that you read anyways...

I believe in Jesus. I believe He came to this earth,

died on a cross for my sins, and rose three days

later! I believe that I am loved. While I may not

understand a love so great, I am so very grateful

{to say the least} for it. We'd be hard pressed to

find a love like Christ's. We won't find it in friends,

or family, or signicant others. In fact the love we

do find in our loved ones are but tiny echoes of

God's everlasting love. There is something

beautiful and overwhelming about God's love. It's

like a warm blanket wrapping itself around me on

days when I just don't feel like enough, or the

nudging elbow that says, "don't worry i'll be right

next to you." It's anything and everything I have

need of. It's unashamed, undignified, unrelenting

and never-ending love. I am so grateful to have God

in my life. This weekend I remember the sacrifices

that that love was willing to make, for me, and for

you. I hope you have a lovely weekend; and

remember how much you're loved.

x's and o's,

Melisa

Spring-a-ling

Eeeeep! It's here it's here! Spring, that is. Or at least it

finally feels like it's here. It was in the 80's today and it

sure did feel nice... especially because I got to have class

outside! Under beautiful trees with the breeze just light

enough to feel it in your hair and sun shining warm on

your cheeks! It was delightful to say the very least. Here

are some of my favorite spring things...

1. Riding bikes!

2. Pretty Spring photos:) I just want to be outside all day!

3. Kittens... um, I know they exist every season, but i'm

reminded of their sweetness in the Spring^_^

4. Flowers! Of course, we can't forget flowers...

5. And lastly, traveling... ie end of school!!

Can I just say that I am so so excited for the Pi N' the Sky

shop update!? It's Saturday at 6pm. All things Spring and

pretty new looks! Be excited! And in case you haven't

heard, there's a new FB group that you can and should

join:) You'll get all the latest updates and news. Here's the

link...
