Creative sparks..

Felt creative...Here's a pic from my craft area...I'm on the prowl for a new art table. Same shape maybe, but wooden, and long...more room....the space is absolutely large enough, but the table isnt...Hmmm... And for the record...i most def. just ordered the lot of 17 stazon ink pads for 60.00 bucks! I couldnt pass it up..i do not have a store here to offer a discounted price...and..for all the stuff i stamp, the regular inks just prove less adiquete (ummm i know i butchered that word)...so i cant wait to get that in...plus i ordered something for el' tiffo's birthday in Aug.....i gotta start my lil collection before it comes and bites me in the ass.. I have soooooo much fun shopping for her...shes soooo EASY to buy for...seriously...

And here's what was for dinner tonite:
Greek stuffed peppers & Arugula and Celery Salad with Lemon-Anchovy Salad. The peppers needed something..the salad was EXCELLENT. the pic is blurry-sorryAnd this is a 12 x 12 I'm currently working on...

Sooo...some stress flies my way with this whole wedding preparation...not that i expected it to be smooth sailing...Jeremy's parents and his brother jesse (inlcusive of my niece-the flower girl) probably cant make it for the scheduled date of the wedding....Too busy...Too much work. Jesse quit the company he worked for and started his own gig, making things super busy for him and jeremy's mom has started a new nursing contract which doesnt end until mid august-the PEEK of hurricane season.... Stressful...i cant imagine having this wedding without them, and if we postponed it, it would be closer to cold weather, no room for a barefoot/beach wedding...and if we waited much longer, we arent really sure our timeframe on being in florida-and i dont want to make a huge road trip back just to hold my wedding...that seems like it would just add more stress...What to do..i dont know..but im pretty upset about it.. ::SIGHS::
goodnite...

ONE WORD

YUM...MMMYY...

I love to blog...it is true...

Here in blogworld again...I really like being able to come home and blog about my day...since you aren't here. It makes it feel more real...like you're here...or get to experience it..you know?

So we went to Sanibel Island today to fish, and sunbathe. You should google it..REALLY..anyone who comes to visit-gets a free trip to the island...b/c it is my favorite...seriously...when you get on the island...there is nothing but tropical plants and flowers EVERYWHERE..with beach-houses...and beach...and NATURE..all is lovely on Sanibel Island....Seriously....I WILL have a tan for the wedding...it will happen...even if i avoided the sun-here...in florida..there is NO avoiding the sun...
And then Jeremy caught a fish....that he didn't realize was "gold." A guy came over and snatched it so quick (well he asked for it in an ever so please please kind of way)...Apparently it makes fabulous bait...So the man caught a HUGE "snook," an ever so popular fish around here. Needless to say, the next fish we caught like that we kept for ourself....Lesson learned...But hey..good karma came...And even though we caught no big fish, the guy came and gave us enough snapper to have a nice dinner for tonite...All is well in fishie land..

And this bird made me smile...over and over...he kept following people around and of course searched for food...but he wasn't really afraid..so you were able to get pretty close..cute little fella'.

This is the bridge that leads to the island. It goes from fort myers, to a small island before sanibel and then continues into sanibel. The view is breathtaking...

Finally got crafty...made this for my sister. It's on a canvas. Lot's of paint...and all that jazz ;)

But maybe the highlight of my day...We bought a mojito kit...(rum not included)...and it is magnificent! Soooooo...again..when anyone comes to visit....I will be your special mojito bartender..and prepare the most fabulous mojitos....by the pool...

LOVE.

he got-got

Went fishing here today..on this pier about 2 minutes from our house-at the yaght club...Love that place...so peaceful..

Found a rue 21 today-hence the shirt...i swear i have a shopping problem...well its no problem to me ;)

And then i caught a fish...too small to keep..but surely made me smile.. and nooooo im not pregnant....the shirt was a flowin' in the wind....so dont go gettin any ideas..... ;)

That's all she wrote......until next time. love.

Whew! Ok...well I finally got around to uploading some photos..Ok ALOT of photos...Lot's of eye candy goin on....

So this is a work in progress.....Been finding some pretty cool frames to add to my already large collection...Why does this obsession continue???I love i must admit...

Here are a few frames I've recently bought at thrift stores...My personal fav is the one in the bottom row thats a light grn...(go figure)
I found this dress today, at plato's...Had to get it...Too bad i can't remake this dress in white (with crm lace) and make it long....B/c it is HOT...Seriously...

And here are two wonderful necklaces I happenned upon...and absolutely couldn't live without...But then..if you look at most items you've never seen before..they were all things I couldn't live without...But hey-with the exception of a few-most came from thrift stores or garage sales...Including the second necklace below..

Just playing around with the mirror. new dress. Thrift store..::smiles::

ps-im getting married!

ok so its been quite a while since i last posted....b/c of the simple fact that my blog is super unappealing to me...and im sure to others...and ive been super busy moving to florida...plus-IM GETTING MARRIED!! im scared and suoer excited all at the same time. Quick planning, as we have moved to florida and must have the wedding here. On the beach-barefoot. Below is a sampe of the color scheme im interested in..i want everything to be more vintage/free people looking...so with the help of the very best friend a girl could have..i think i can make this happen. as of right now, the date is set for Aug 2. 3 months.. i only have 3 months...but at least im not having a huge wedding, which should take some o the stress away....

As far as my art..its a-comin...im getting inspired again now that ALL of my supplies are unpacked...i can get to work...plus im looking seriously into interior design schools, and lon still but whichever makes my dreams come true will be the winner...Soooooo hopefully all works out...

As far as this crappy blog....i have ao wonderful friend "freckled nest" as you will find her listed in my friends, is going to give me a major transformation...that im dying to see...and super excited about.. i can hardly wait...sooo...i will post more..sooner..i promise..
