I've been thinking for awhile now of doing some sort of funky color with my hair. I saw this pic on a blog that I was reading and LOVED this color!
What do you think...should I do it?!?!
It's so fun. This might just have to be on my list of 30 things to do before I turn 30.

#1. Tulips.
One of my favorite flowers. I love their shape, I love their color, I love how they droop a little sometimes. I droop sometimes too. They make me smile.
#2. Buttons.
I have a bowl that I collect buttons in. All shapes, all colors, all sizes. I can envision someday sitting down with a little person and going through each button and talking about it's shape, it's color, it's size. Each button perfectly created. Oh my heart smiles.
#3. Little Chocolate Donuts.
I have a thing for chocolate. I have a thing for donuts. I have a thing for little chocolate donuts. You know, those little ones that leave that film in your mouth afterwards? I love them. I have been known to eat an entire bag...or tub of them. the end. smiling.
#4. Scraps of Fabric.
I found these pieces at a store in Fredricksburg. They were 25 cents & 75 cents. I have a thing for cheap things and a thing for funky fabric. It makes me smile.
#5. Old Books.
We walked into an old antique store in Fredricksburg and the entire basement was filled with old books. It looked like a library. It was beautiful. I love the smell of old books. I love imagining the people that owned these books and what they were like. I found an old hymn book owned by Mabel from 1939. Mabel...was she a worship leader? It makes me smile to imagine.
#6. Vintage Flower Earrings.
I found these on an etsy sight and fell in love with them. They match a vintage necklace I have, that my sister gave me. I just love them. So cute.
New favorite song: Gabriel & the Vagabond by Foy Vance
Here is an awesome music video:
Here are the lyrics:
There's a man in the corner and his clothes are worn
And he's holding out his hand
You could see in his eyes as the people walk by
He knows they don't understand
Ya see they just think he's gonna take their money
And then go and spend it all on dope
Then a man stopped by and I saw a smile inside
As he gently whispered hope
Well the tramp started to cry, just kept saying,
"Why? why? why?
Could you see I'm a dying tonight
Well I'm 32 and I've got this one pair of shoes
And a bad taste in my mouth
I think it's clear to see that even God don't love me
Or else why would He leave me this way."
Then Gabriel just smiled and said be peaced my child
Salvation is here today
He got up to his feet and he sang Hallelujah
People were turning around in the street
He looked them in the eyes and he sang,
"Hallelujah
There's someone here you gotta meet
Someone you just gotta meet."
When the vagabond turned around well without a sign
Gabriel just smiled and disappeared
When he looked to the crowd and they were laughing out loud
But he could not see them fore tears
When his vision came round
There was a young girl on the ground
I knew she was fine and hard to cope
She never was a fighter until he laid beside her
And gently whispered hope
They got up to their feet and they sang Hallelujah
People in the street they were turning around
They looked them in the eyes and they sang,
"Hallelujah
There's someone here that we have found"
They sang,
"Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We are the voices crying in the wilderness
Hallelujah, Hallelujah."
The people in the street started their sins to confess
And a chorus of,
"Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Every knee will bow and every tongue confess
and the voice of one crying in the wilderness
crying
Hallelujah, Hallelujah"

I'm getting crafty again.
Not sure what will come out of this...but I went to Hobby Lobby and Walmart and got myself my very own glue gun. I have a feeling this little guy is going to change my life.
The possibilities with a glue gun are endless.
I feel a new sense of power with this. watch it.
Although I'm pretty confident it will own me. I'll have burn marks to prove it.
Here are some fabric pieces that I got...not sure yet what I will do with them. But they make me smile:
I'm getting crafty people.
I saw these cute hair pins on an etsy site and my new roommate, Jordan, told me that she could make them.
So I pulled out the random tub of fabric and she showed me what to do! Here is my favorite one that I made:
"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
-St. Augustine, from the movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin
I have some very sweet friends who are selling Valentine's to raise money for their adoption. Check it out and show them some love by buying some cuteness!
