lazy sunday morning

Pin It Now!
i wish every day could be sunday morning.

i love being able to sip coffee slowly with pajama's on in front of the computer, instead of the usual am scramble where I feel like i have to guzzle coffee to keep my eyes open.

i have some exciting news up my sleeve that is scrapping related but can't share it just yet.

wanted to pop in and share this layout i did using my studio calico kit (i scraplifted the design from one of davinie's layouts from an issue of sb trends):

Have a happy Sunday

Labels and Baskets and Scrapping oh my!

Pin It Now!

I bought a LABEL MAKER this weekend. Be still my beating heart. I have wanted one for a while and got one this weekend, i think it was under $45 with tax and now my basement is totally label-ized. It's so nice.

If you are thinking of getting one here is the one I got. Also bought 7 baskets for storage, just random things that were causing clutter; magazines, CD's, photos, etc.

Am rocking out right now to the Glee soundtrack. If you have not yet bought the entire thing from itunes go and do so. Right. Now. It's that good (and I also decided that if I had a gay alter ego it would be Kurt from Glee. Love him, i have also just discovered via google search that he has a Facebook fan page. wicked.)

Here is what's been keeping me crafty:

A few pages from Disney:

(those darn letters took forever to cut out, I decided to mount them on paper and then pop dot them.)

Love that pic of M. with the Mickey cone. I think we have one of me at around that age with the same thing. So cute.
Love this pic and love these girls. This was 10 years ago? I can't even believe it. These girls are still the ones that make up a big part of my heart. I really love them.

Finally this one of K and I - using the new stamps I won from Davinie's blog (love this blog BTW) this chickie is a hand sewing superstar, I am inspired, going to have to buy a needle and some floss for and J and my upcoming scrapbook weekend.

Real Mail

Pin It Now!

I like email.  But I love real mail. 

Traveling pants

Pin It Now! Here's what I love about traveling:

• Getting boxed lunches to eat on the plane
  
• looking at (and laughing at) book titles in the airport bookstore (how to have a new husband in one week - not sure how any husband would feel about seeing that title on the bedside table)
  
• that it's an adventure
  
• shopping after work
  
• shoe shopping at nordstroms
  
• J Crew
  
• The courtyard dinner setup; pajamas on, takeout in room, wheelie table pulled out to accomodate my spread of dinner and a laptop
  
• moving into bed right after dinner with PJ's, ugg boots and a towel turban
  
• wondering about people in the airport; where do they live, what do they like to do...
  
• watching movies on the plane that K and i wouldn't watch at home; My sisters keeper; the proposal
• having time to listen to my ipod (did you know i know the entire rap in the TLC song waterfalls?)
  

What i don't like

• people who stand up in the aisle of the plane beside you to talk to someone and put thier bum in your face
  
• plane farts
  
• peeing on the plane
  
• missing Kirk
  
• missing Ben
  
• Missing my house
  
• Missing my sissy
  

Wishing I had more time to do this lately: 
Can't wait for Memories Manor 2010 with J and crew - do you know what i meeeeeeannnnn?

My sissy

Pin It Now!

My sissy is so cute. she's a little button of a girl, so funny and sharp and sweet. She told me she wanted to be sisters before we went to Florida and it stuck. now we are sissies for life i think. She came over for a sissy sleepover few weeks ago. we had a pajama party. we sat on the couch covered in blankets wearing our PJ's and ate dinner (pasta with pancetta, tomato, basil and boccocini for me, pasta with butter and cheese for her) and we watched HSM3. It was $19 from appletv. i wasn't planning on buying it - was just going to rent a movie but all the kiddie ones to rent were babyish; mickeymouseclubhouse etc - (aka claw my eyes out) plus when i told her it was only availible to buy she said "but sissy we were supposed to watch it in florida remember?" so really i had no other choice. it wasn't half bad.

please return to tiffany & co.

Pin It Now! the first christmas k and i were dating he gave me a jewlery box (which i love) and a silver ring with a teeny tiny diamond in it from tiffanys. i wear it every day. that was 8 christmases ago.

the most ironic thing happened to it. the little stone fell out. i was cheering on the marathoners on Sunday; clapping my hands together and banging them against the metal rails and the little stone must have just popped right out. i have a habit of running my thumb against my rings and when i did so at dinner i noticed it felt a bit sharp; so i checked it and sure enough - crack down the middle, it had literally split in two and the little stone had fallen right out.

i'm ok with it. i'm going to give it to the new york gods. the heart and sould of the city can have it. that's where we got engaged, where we went for our honeymoon and where we were for our anniversary when it happened. yes i'm a bit sad becuase i loved it because it was one of the first thing that K gave me but if it had to be lost i'm glad it was lost there of all places.

why i heart new york

Pin It Now! there are a million more reasons but here are a few:



- sitting on the steps of the MET eating lunch pretending i'm Blair Waldorf (K had to be Serena haha)



- eating magnolia cupcakes; definitley a huge cliche but i'm ok with that



- watching 40k runners run through the streets of ny for the 40th NY Marathon; was so inspiring i just stood there for about 20 minutes like a crazy lady, tears streaming down my face cheering people along. i wasn't alone though; have never felt that kind of love in a huge crowd before
