My Pablo 'Picasa'
For years, I have been intimidated by photo tools on the internet - so I have been avoiding Picasa. Today, I conquered my fears, and Voila! In about 5 clicks and 3 minutes, I made a collage. Yay! Now my only fear is that I will soon be addicted to my new discovery. Ha! How do you like my masterpiece?!

The Ladies' Room
Have I mentioned that I'm a fan of the pink and orange combo? J'adore the wallpaper...and did you notice the floor? Silhouettes!

Alicia Bock
Isn't this photo stunning?! I remember seeing an Alicia Bock post on Decor8 a few years ago - and now she has a very extensive list of magazines, websites and shows where you will find her work. Visit her etsy site, and you can purchase her oh-so-affordable photographs!
Stargazing Alternative
Rather than battling mosquitoes for a night of stargazing, you could open the windows for some fresh air, spread a blanket on the floor, and gaze at your ceiling. Isn't it gorgeous?!

Goldilocks and the Party
Kalia has an October birthday, but I am actually beginning to think about it and plan ahead. Way ahead. I just want it to be fabulous this year. We have always done a family party, and this will be her first kid celebration - so I want it to be extra special. I figure that if I choose a theme in advance, I can watch for favors, decorations, and ideas from now until October. I saw this adorable Goldilocks party on a room somewhere and thought it was pickin' cute. I haven't decided on a theme at this point, but this party was definitely inspiring!

I'm sooo not a morning person. Especially on Mondays. *Yawn* I just wanna crawl back in bed - one of these beds.

National Doughnut Day
Well, I just couldn't stay away from blogging for the entire week. I found out that this happens to be National Doughnut Day, and several chains are offering free doughnuts! I figured that was news-worthy enough to come off my break for a moment. I will actually be driving home today to make it back for Kalia's soccer game tomorrow...so I think one of our little stops will have to be a doughnut shop. Yummmmm.
This is completely off the subject - but I usually dread long drives...or anything over an hour, anyway. Well, not today! I have three new CDs for the ride, and they're really good! One is a Pink Martini CD for me, and two are for Kalia - but they're fantastic! I found Jewel's Lullaby CD, and just love her version of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, and Somewhere Over the Rainbow. I kind of bought the Ziggy Marley CD for Kalia and Randy, because he is the biggest Bob Marley fan you will ever meet. Ziggy is Bob's son, and happens to have a new CD called Family Time. Jack Johnson accompanies him in one song, as well as Laurie Berkner, and a few other famous musicians. It's a great kid CD, and I'm always looking for child-appropriate music for the car. Well, I'm off to celebrate Doughnut Day!

I Shall Return...
Well friends, Kalia and I are taking a spontaneous little trip to Grandma's...so I most likely won't be blogging for the rest of the week. I am leaving you with the Vogue Girl Korea post below for Friday's sweets. Have an amazing week, and I should be back by Monday!

Mmmmoulding
For me, it's not about the green chairs or the pink art (although I do love pink). It's all about the moulding.

Darling Photo Shoot
These photos were taken by Tec Petaja for the wedding issue of Nashville Lifestyles. I was a little disappointed when I read that it was all staged, 'cuz the couple is so darn cute, and I love their small, intimate, country wedding. Plus, I'm a hopeless romantic, and thought they were truly in love. They had me fooled! Although, in hindsight, the first photo is a little model-esque. I don't think Randy and I could have pulled it off! You can click on "Tec Petaja" above, to see the entire photo shoot.

Happy Birthday Sara!
Happy Birthday to my dear friend Sara - my dear, engaged friend! Happy un-Birthday to the rest of you! (Yeah, well - I just saw Alice in Wonderland the other day.) I would LOVE IT if you would tell me your birthdate, so I can wish you a happy one - and I'll get to post some more cuppycakes! Sara, I hope you have a wonderful Birthday!

Sunshine on a Cloudy Day
Well, I don't know what it's doing at your place, but it couldn't be any gloomier here. It's one of those days where I just didn't feel like getting out of my comfy bed. It's the perfect day for some bright, cheerful pix. Did you notice the plastic flatware in the last photo? I'll link to some previous posts for purchasing information, in case you're interested.

My Hero
Melissa Rufty is my hero. I guess I mean heroine. I love her quirky design combinations. I even love the quote from Beulah Miles on her website - "A room should never look as though everything arrived on the same day". So true!
