I know that its almost July, but summer didn't start until June 21st (my birthday!).

And I know that after July is August, then September...then summer is over :I. But nonetheless,

here are a few of the songs that make my summer days bearable.

Enjoy!

Moby - Porcelain, Natural Blues

Bishop Allen - Butterfly Nets

Little Joy - Don't Watch Me Dancing

Camera Obscura - If Looks Could Kill

Jenny Owen Youngs - Bricks, Hot in Herre

The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize?

The Airbourne Toxicity Event - Sometime Around Midnight

Miniature Tigers - Cannibal Queen, The Wolf

Kira Willey - Colors

Sonic Youth - Superstar

Erin McCarley - Pony (It's OK)

Alela Diane - Dry Grass and Shadows
Boaz - No More

And here is what my room looks like now...just the one corner is clean for now. Thats why its such a squished picture:

its been a long time since i rock and rolled

And since I've posted. I have neglected you my most precious blog. As I've been away for some time, many thing have occurred. I've grown older, I've gotten a tan, and my sister has gotten married. And since it is Sunday also, I'd like to share some things I'm digging right now. Then onto the pictures!

For starters, I'm really into photography and scrapping and everything, and recently I've been visiting this blog to get inspiration. She makes these little books that are so spontaneous and creative that I've started to make some myself. Check out her site and let me know if you'd like a little art journal or crafty book of your own!

Crocheted back tanks are one of my favorite things about summer right now. Before vacation, I bought about five of them. And I wore every one in Myrtle Beach! And I bought one the other day that turned out to be too big...but I might fix it with my sewing machine!

(the one on the far right is the new one.)

Vintage sunglasses..I mean its nothing new. I have always wanted some vintage frames for my face but haven't been able to find the perfect pair. Elsie Flannigan always has super cool ones.

Wedding receptions. I forgot how much I love dancing at them! Because as much as I look silly, other girls look silly too. I had so much fun dancing with my Mom and Dani and Alison.

Cloud wallpaper. I could do some serious crafty damage with that stuff.

Now I'll share some photos from vacation!

Have a happy day!

Today

Today is lousy. I feel lousy because the day is lousy. A good thing about today is that I did not work. That is a good good thing. Also I am going to swim with Alison and Hannah, also a good thing. I came across this blog and have been browsing through it all afternoon. I watched a video for Cadbury chocolate. Its called Cadbury Eyebrows. Look it up on youtube its awesome.
I wish I did something more today than I did but I'm glad I didn't have to work. I really hate it there.
Luckily I will be on vacation for a week and some days so I can relax and not think about my stupid job. And hopefully take some happy pictures.
I'd like to embroider some words onto a shirt of mine. What should those words be?
Small post for today..but tomorrow may bring bigger things.

Don't be sad, Vlog!

So glad that I have not a popular blog. Simply because my Vlogging skills are not so good.

Nonetheless I did it. I tried to cancel my membership to stupid Urban Active but those jerks screwed me over by not telling me things so I'm stuck. Might as well use it I guess. Maybe I could get a couple free tans for my misfortune..Maybe not.

So today I swapped Sara's room with the pong room and my crafts. I swept and cleaned both the floors and washed the walls in the pong room. It was gross. Next is cleaning and organizing my room which is the real challenge. I should also get around to doing laundry but I am a very provrastinative person.

Elsie from A Beautiful Mess just did a 24 hour blog. Posting every hour. Intense. I don't think I have enough to talk about for an entire day. Props to you Elsie.

Oh also, check out Color Me Katie's blog. She's so cute and creavtive. She makes thought bubbles, shadows and fun shapes and spreads them throughout Brooklyn to brighten people's day! And she spent a day dancing with strangers in the park! So lovely.

Well I guess I'll be going now.

Stay classy, world.

Ten Things Monday

Howdy Blogland!
Long time no type..and still as corny.
As inspired by awesome Elsie Flannigan I wanted to do a daily list of some of my favorite things of today. Every Monday, ten things. Also today a little update since I've been gone so long.
Off we go!

1. Ali Edwards' Week in the Life Project. I want to tweak it a bit to use my 365 pictures, but still the same idea.

2. Starbucks. I mean, honestly need I say more?

3. Trips to Michaels and picking out things for Myrtle Beach.

I got some so cute little projects for my cousins and I to do on rainy days in Pat and Dani's luxury camper. Plus a new scrapbook for me!

4. Afternoon rain to cool the temperature.

(This is me collecting rain water for my plants.)

5. Decor8. This website inspires me so much. So many good ideas and awesome links to nifty shops, websites and crafting projects.
6. Progress. Getting things finished is hard for me sometimes so when I accomplish something it makes me smile.

7. This pattern from Etsy shop reeneegurmi. If I could crochet I would buy so many patterns from her shop!

8. Ryan being off work. My boyfriend works third shift so his afternoons are usually spent sleeping. It was so nice today to have him awake and next to me, even though I was watching Top Model and Jon and Kate. But I let him watch the game. I'm a good girlfriend :).

9. Bagel dip. Yea I made some last night and had a bit for breakfast. It was awesome.

10. Finally, remembering responsibility. I have forgotten to make schedules for work...I should probably get on that.

Well farewell for now world!

Thanks for stopping by.

I'll update later.

creative type

I've always considered myself a creative kind of person. Lately I've been going through a period of lack luster craftiness. So after visiting this fabulous blog, I got lots of inspiration. Especially from her mini books and photo projects. I digress...and as a result of Elise's blog I will now unveil to you (Alison, because you are most likely the only person with my blog site, except maybe my mom..) my creative list for the summer. These things I hope to complete..at the least start with the intention of finishing..before it turns cold. My first will be to finish my I Love... book and put it to-freaking-gether. Like that? Yea me too..

Alright so without further ado, here's the list. Alison feel free to steal this if you wish:

Love Book-complete and adore.
Hold a little art show in my apartment showcasing new and old art. Open to friends and family. Serve horderves.
Camping booky thing, using my RVA kit I absolutely cannot live without. Buy their stuff!
FINISH THE QUILT.
Get out more in order to get more variety with my 365 project.
Stop taking things for granted. (Technically this isn't a creative craft thing but nonetheless important.)

I will add to this list as I think of things and continue to be inspired by the lovely blogs I visit everyday.
Here's a photo to share today:
