Oh, My Jacob Wolfiness!

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON trailer


Truly amazing! My Kirsten and I were discussing how we love the coloring of this movie...so much more warm and yellow-orangy like the new title...and like Jacob's wolfy coat. =)

And I didn't think I would get to see my Jasper in all of his ferociousness so soon! Me likey! ♥

The Italy Fountain/Reunion Motage!

Put to music...this is beautiful!! Just imagine what the real thing will be like...


Do I have to mention this is a big, fat spoiler? I don't think anyone will heed it though. *snicker*

** For those of you who missed out on my Edward Journal give-a-way, you can still order a replica of the journal. Just click the link on the top of my right side bar to order -->. Then you might want to send it to Rob to have him sign it as Edward! Wouldn't that be AWESOME??

If I Could Marry A Shower Curtain

and wasn't already married, I would marry this one I just bought with my b-day discount from Anthro...

Don't you think it looks fetching with my master bath paint?





It's a little wrinkled from being stuffed in the cute matching bag it came in, but I think a few steamy showers will do the trick.

I think I have a serious thing for flamenco ruffles lately...


My current purse - U.O. Winter '09


My ball gown


And if I could marry any of the New Moon set pics, it would be this one:




and any of the others over at Just Jared.

*sigh*

Laaaaaaaaaaa! Finally!!!!

I can't believe I did it. Actually I can because I worked on making my checkout on Etsy lightening fast! And that is what you have to be in order to partake. Fast, fast, fast!

You see, Emily Martin of The Black Apple updated her Etsy shop today with dolls and original paintings. She only updates her store every 2-3 months or so and when she does, all her customers and fans are waiting and watching hoping to snag one of her sought after crafty lovelies.

Why?

Well, first, because they are super adorable and sweet! There's something about the faces of her little gals and guys that suck you in. The more you look at them the more you LOVE them! Secondly, because I'm in awe of her sense of style and color. She's peculiar, vintage and cozy cottage all rolled into one. And thirdly, because all of her original paintings and dolls sell out within the first 5 minutes of her shop updates. Yes, you read that right, FIVE MINUTES!!!!! It's pure insanity.

Emily posts on her blog the date and time of the update so that you can be ready. I blocked out the whole day today to make sure I wouldn't have any conflicts. About 15 minutes before the update, I logged on to Etsy. My palms were sweating as I was refreshing the page every 10 seconds to see if something had been posted to her shop yet. Then at about 3:01 everything was posted and guess what?? I was so fast I got not one, but two dolls!!!

Helpful Hannah by Emily Martin
(who can hold a multitude of small things for me, like my pen when I'm working)

I am sooooo happy about this!! I've tried to get one of her dolls now for the past 4-5 updates with no luck but today was definitely my lucky day!! They are my B-day and Mother's Day gifts from Andy (but if you ask me, I did all the hard work. Hahaha!), but I will give him the points anyway. =)

I can't wait to see what the dolls' packaging is like. Emily once placed one in a pastry box that she gifted to a little girl - you know those boxes with the see-through windows in the top? I've been saving my cupcake boxes from a new cupcake store I found in town for some of my softies that will be available in my etsy shop soon. The designs are still in the works but they are going to be quite quirky and cute, if I do say so myself.
