How sweet it is...

to be loved by you.

 Last night my love and I decided to start new art projects...

it was so much fun to share my interest of painting 

with someone that I care about so much!

we spent hours jamming out to some tunes while letting our creativity 

flow...we even managed to squeeze in a little macbook photo sesh..

Bryce painted a picture of Mickey Mouse.

It turned out awesome! Take a look...

As for me, I decided to work on a larger scale. 

It will take some time but I am so excited to paint my red daisy!

It still needs a lot of work but heres a little peek...

More pictures to come soon.

Overall, it was a very productive Sunday evening! 

I am so thankful to have spent it doing what I love with who I love.

Until next time,

Michele Kwan wannabe?

A few days ago my friend Kevin and I decided to feed into our holiday spirits and go ice skating. Let me start off by saying that I realize that I am no Michelle Kwan, but I do consider myself a pretty good ice skater. At first the ice was pretty rough in places but I managed to regain my balance and enjoy gliding on the ice... it was a blast! 

Heres a few snap shots of our ice skating adventure...

This is me trying to look graceful as I regain my balance... 

which was almost impossible!

 I am beyond thankful for our friendship.

All smiles on the ice...

 Kevin's professional ice skating twirl... before he almost fell ha!

Ahhh it was so much fun, I cannot wait to do it again soon!

Needless to say, ice skating was the perfect way to end the holiday season with a bang

Maybe with practice one day I will be the next Michelle Kwan?

Not a chance. Anyways, Happy Sunday!

Until next time,

New year, new obsession...

So recently I have accumulated another obsession...oh lordy!   

Besides my ongoing infatuation with bobby pin and dresses, I have added yet another one to the list... they are called Ear Wraps and they are simple adorable! They are the perfect addition to any daily wardrobe, making them a great new years gift for everyone and anyone. They do not require any piercings which is nice because you can pop them right on and off... seriously I am obsessed! I am happy to report that I invested in these little beauties this morning and cannot wait for them to arrive.

.. yes I know online shopping is kind of a problem of mine...

But aren't they just the coolest thing?

I purchased mine from this site but you can find them all over the internet.

Happy shopping and happy first day of the new year my loves.

Until next time,

Reflection

2010 was a year for...

   Being surrounded by the bestest friends a girl could ask for...

  ... for new friendships and new memories...

for being blessed with the most awesome roommates...

 who have made this year definitely one to remember...

a year for new accomplishments...that I never would 

have dreamed would be possible...

a year for a little bit of nerdiness...

 as well as a year for lovers...

  for smooches, hugs, and a new journey with the boy

who has stolen my heart... 

for family ties that will never be broken...

 for being blessed with new family memories and laughs...

 a year for milestones as well as disappointment...

 but also a year for family love that 

 can overcome everything and anything...

But most importantly,

... a year for living the life that I love with those who I love!

I am welcoming the new year with open arms. With hopes of new memories and new friendships.Wishing everyone a happy and healthy New Year!

Bring on 2011! Cheers!

Until next year,

The holiday recap!

Happy Holidays ladies and gents!

So its about time for the holiday recap...

I hope that everyone is having an great amazing holiday season, I know that I am! 

These past few weeks have been spent enjoying some good ol' family time as well as a ton of shopping.

Not to mention some time spent painting these cute little art pieces for a few families.

The tree is made up of the children's hand prints which was simply adorable

They made the perfect gift for Christmas!

This Christmas, I made sure not to miss the annual Java Jive holiday party.

It was so fun to sing along to Christmas tunes sung by the java jammers and spend quality time with such sweet people...like these sweet java jive boys (Bryce and Chris)

Christmas morning was pretty eventful to say the least

Here is the post present opening picture of our living room...

 Santa was definitely too good to me this year, like always!

 I am happy to report that I am now officially a mac user and loving it!

I am truly blessed. 

 Blessed that I can surround myself with such loving and inspiring people.

Like these three... my mom, sister and papa 

 and I can't forget my boys...

I am so blessed to have such handsome men in my life!

My broski and my loverboy

Christmas was simply a blast.

We spent time relaxing by the fireplace and shooting some pool...

(This is bryce pretending to know what he is doing)

 Even though I was pretty upset devastated that my most favorite holiday had to come to an end...it was all okay because the following morning I woke up to a beautiful winter wonderland in my front yard. 

:) The blanket of snow was the perfect addition to my already perfect holiday break! 

I cannot wait to see what the rest of my time off has in store for me. 

I will be sure to keep everyone posted! 

Wishing you all a happy,warm, and cozy Monday!

Until Next time,

Refusing Adulthood!

So.. I have come to the conclusion that...

 I am never growing up

.. end of story...period...the end... finito... fini.. NEVER, get the picture? In all honesty, I am not ready to graduate college, move into my own place, pay big girl bills, and  of course get a real job to support my lifestyle as an independent woman. Don't get me wrong, I am all about being independent, but I never thought that adult-like duties would creep up on me this fast! Wouldn't it just be so nice to still have a sense of childlike innocence again, like experiencing the anticipation of Santa Clause's arrival on your rooftop, or a sense of astonishment in the presence of Cinderella's castle? Ah, this all just goes to show how fast life flies by and how nostalgic memories can take over our minds at times...

Ok, ok, ok off of my soapbox and onto the point...

So tonight my lovely boy and I went to go see the new disney movie Tangled! You might say that disney/ pixar movies are kinda a weekness of mine...its the dorky side of me I guess, but if thats the case then I have no shame embracing it!  Overall the movie left me speechless, it was cute, funny and certainly uplifting. Definitely a must see I promise! It tells the story of Rapunzel (a story that seemed a bit hazy to me until tonight) and her struggle to make it out of her high tower.  

 If you have not seen the trailer here it is... I encourage you all to give into your inner dorky, disney, nostalgic side and take a look :)

Seriously guys... go see it! It is awesome! 

Anyways, have a great rest of the weekend.

Until next time,

Be an artist!

Now that winter break is here...

I have been painting like crazy and getting back into the artsy state of mind.

I honestly forgot how much I enjoy letting loose while letting my creativity run free!

I cannot stress how important it is to "do what you love and love what you do"...

Art is what I love and I am so excited to have an entire month of painting!

I have gathered some images of free expression through art:

Get inspired.

Pick up a paint brush, a pencil, an instrument, a camera, or anything for that matter

 and explore your inner most thoughts through art!

( P.S This is my all time favorite painting EVER!)

You might be surprised with what you can do!

Until next time,

-Meg
