Judith Ann Braun - finger drawings these are beautiful.

Baby Dreams - oh my uterus, so cute.

shopkick - I love this app. I've earned several Target gift cards just for walking into stores. It helps that I work at the mall. Ha!

Also, is anyone having trouble seeing GFC on the side bar? I've noticed I can't see mine on my blog and I can't see it on several other blogs as well. I just get an error message. Is there a fix for that?

I don't know what the heck this is, but it's cute and I want one.

 I feel like it's possible I've posted this before. If I did, well...it needs to be repeated.

seriously though. go here to print this out and hang it on your wall and look at it...EVERYDAY!

 Yes! I'd love to be brave enough to do this some time.

the amazing brain, with stuff like this floating around, I don't understand how people get bored

she's cute.

pretty cool shit ver. 12.4

This is a short one since I was out of town all weekend and I'm still catching up on blogs and perusing the webs.

this illustration for pincurl magazine.

the night sky in her hair and something about her eyes. i can't even explain it.

i don't really eat ham anymore, but this looks delicious.

it is, isn't it though.

sometimes i wish i didn't wear glasses so that i could have fun with things of this nature.

true story.

I normally try not to complain about it being either too hot or too cold because complaining isn't going to change that. But today, ugh. My hands are swollen and are making me super uncomfortable. I really want to hide out  in some place that's nicely air conditioned or at the pool with my feet submerged in the water.

It's off to Milwaukee for work tomorrow morning. It'll be a long and hard weekend. But that's okay. There is s strong possibility that I'll get to see my BFF from college and the whole trip is paid for by my job. I love it, who wouldn't?

these village of 100 posters are pretty neat. i think the smaller number makes each classification easier to grasp.

this space, the simplicity. i'd love to have a little get away like this in my future backyard. a place to escape to, to take a break. maybe some music and reading. rent it out on the weekends.

these ALL NATURAL red velvet cupcakes look so red and delicious. check out the recipe, it's pretty interesting how she got them red, i wonder how that adds to the flavor.

 these nails remind me of my blog background. very cute. i don't have the patience for stamping though.

OMG! This video...I love it!!!

this space, I wanna crawl up here and take a nap and read some books

these apparitions by Soasig Chamaillard, seriously, click the link to check out more of them.

this is my advice, though I don't always take it.

 this cute to boot pillow case, stuff it with a nice fluffy pillow. it'd be my new best friend

 Yeah, pretty much.

Yeah, I'd planned to post this earlier today, but I was at work. Day 7 of 9. Two more days until the weekend!!! This is some of the pretty cool shit that's dashed across my computer screen over the past week. Enjoy!

this pumpkin bread looks delicious and only two ingredients

 this door and the shutters are amazing. i love bold, bright color

this cute little fashion girl necklace needs to be mine

 these avengers dresses, I'd totally rock the hulk dress

mmmmm...tacos, no war...tacos

these nails by the dainty squid, they remind me of rocket pops. i never get to paint my nails because of my job

this comic pretty much sums it up

these underwater ink photos by mark mawson are UH-mazing

this graphic design group, this guy works HARD and this is hilarious

Also wanted to add:

we all have feelings aka the golden rule

this girls voice, have a little listen on the left hand side

pretty cool shit ver. 12.1

Today is my Friday. Yay!!! That's how it goes when you work retail. I'm glad it's a short day at work. Now that school is out I'm gonna have to get used to working more hours, business is sure to pick up.

It has been hot the last few days here and I broke down and turned on the air. I'm not looking forward to the electric bill. Thankfully it's supposed to cool down a bit this week. I can dig that for sure. With work, the heat and my limited funds I haven't been up to much. My Little Black Bag should be shipping this week. Yay! I can't wait to get it.  Check out this post, if you'd like to know more about LLB.

Nearing the end of the month I'm starting to think about my goals for June and how much I didn't accomplish on my May goals list. Post to come about both of those.

Slowly, but surely getting back into the blogging game. I'm still working on what features I want to add here and what kinds of things I want to share this go around. I like the idea of sharing things that I come across as I'm perusing the interwebs. What do you think?

these faux snow cones, don't they look like a delicious summer treat

this wedding bouquet, I'm just getting into embroidery

this camera bag collection

 it's so true though

this bed, I'd be afraid to flip right out of if though

this experiment, a neat earth and money saver

 this map, how fun to have a map of your city

 this hoop piece, I don't know what's cuter, the balloons or the floral fabric, this inspires me to find some vintage fabrics to make quilts

this tasty looking treat, doesn't it look delicious. I wanna lick the rim and take a huge gulp

I keep changing my blog background and color palette. I can't help it. I can't find anything I'm happy with, but I think I really like the background I just added (I found it at over at colour lovers). I like the colors and the pattern seems a little bouncy. Not so sarcastic, but whatevs. It's my blog.
