Top buns are definitely my favorite way to wear my hair in the summer. It's simple and cute. What's you're favorite way to wear your tresses?

The Sketchbook Project.

 The Sketchbook Project: 2011

I recently ran across this new project that struck great interest in me. The concept is pretty amazing and I'm in love with the idea! I am seriously considering taking part in this and am hoping you might too:) It reminded me of our Project Thirty. Since I'll be used to documenting, I may just jump into this new project as well!! Let me know if you decide to, I'd love to share the journey with you ^_^

Days Go By.

I'm finally back home and I missed you all sooooo much! I really wanted to write suitable posts while I was there, but I simply could not find a proper internet connection {it's always the simple things we take for granted} It was a short visit to New Mexico, but fun none-the-less. I ate plenty of yummy Mexican food by the best Mexican cook i know, my Mom:) AND I got to visit with my aunt and grandma for most of the time {also two of my other favorite people} The car ride, of course, was verrrry lengthy, 11 hours to be exact, but my Papa and I found ways to entertain ourselves. Here's a few pics from the trip.
My Dad paying at Sonic 
Me and my lovely Mother
My sweet sweet friend and her adorable little guy
And of course those beautiful mountains
I promise to come back later with some inspiration and more news about the shop. Until then, enjoy your Sunday morning.

Hello from NM:)

I feel so weird not having the Internet at my fingertips. I stole away and was able to come say hello to y'all. Forgive me, this won't be long, but I did want to share a bit of loveliness with you:)
Hmmm....scratch that. Did I mention I'm also on an iPad... Which apparently does not allow me to post pictures! Oh deer.
I have SO many new ideas for our next update!! I cannot wait to get home and start working on everything.
Well I apologize, this was not what I was hoping my post would look like, but I promise as soon as I'm able I will bring you oodles of goodness:)
