Bye Bye Old Phone, Hello....

HTC EVO 4G!




You beautiful, beautiful piece of what techy dreams are made of  xD

Hopefully by the time this post is published, I'll be on my way over to Sprint to trade in my old phone for this baby! I'm not too thrilled about the adjustment period since I've never had, nor extensively used a touch phone before, but I'll just have to weather it until the time that I'm a master ^.^

I'm hoping I will have pics of this beast up soon!

The Mosaic Maker Meme


I enjoy a good meme now and again, and sometimes I come across one that I just HAVE to do-Well, I came across one of those must-do ones the other day over at my friend Grace's blog, Sandier Pastures.

The Mosaic Maker Meme!


The questions:

1. What is your first name?
2. What is your favorite food right now?
3. What high school did you go to?
4. What is your favorite color?
5. Who is your celebrity crush?
6. What is your favourite drink?
7. What is your dream vacation?
8. What is your favourite dessert?
9. What do you want to be when you grow up?
10. What do you love most in life?
11. What is one word that describes you?
12. What did you look like as a child?

My mosaic all put together:



If you'd like to take part in this fun meme, here are the rules:

1. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Creative Commons Search.
2. Using only the first page of results, pick one image.
3. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into Big Huge Lab’s Mosaic Maker to create a mosaic of the picture answers.


Enjoy! Make sure to come and leave a link so I can check out YOUR mosaic :)

"Be kind to thy father, for when thou wert young, Who loved thee so fondly as he? He caught the first accents that fell from thy tongue, And joined in thy innocent glee.

I'm Lovely and Versatile-Who knew!?


Thank you to Liza over at Aromaticspace150 Blogasphere for passing me The Versatile Blogger Award!



Thank you to my very special friend Lu over at Crocheted Little Things for giving me the One Lovely Blog Award!


Both awards require me to tell you all 7 facts about me, so I'm going to combine these into one list:
  • One of my top 10 favorite words is 'Happenstance'
  • My shoe size is 8 1/2
  • I like rolling around in the grass {even though it makes me really itchy afterwords O.o}
  • I have over 100 movies in my collection!
  • I have {had} a purple streak in my hair-I really need to get it touched up.
  • When I was working at my first job, I found a kitten-I wish I could have kept Princess P.!
  • I made 2 sales from my vintage shop this week xD

7 lovely bloggers I'm passing both of these awards to:

 **Note:: None of you should feel obligated to post and/or pass these awards on if you don't want to-I just wanted to let you all know I'm thinking of you!





    Mailbox Monday(6/20)



    Mailbox Monday divulges into the inner workings of my mailbox throughout the week. From books to jewelry to free samples to random magazines and letters-You never know what will be in the mail this week... 

    ***********************************************************************
     
     Yes, that is me {with some funky hair I might add}, but what is that I'm holding....?

    Why, it's not one, not two, but THREE $25 gift cards!

    One to Paneras.
    One to Walmart.
    One to Target.

    No, it's not my birthday. No I didn't graduate. No, I didn't have anything exciting happen in my life. 

    I just accumulated enough points on MyPoints.com!! If you'd like to give them a try, you can sign up HERE.


    Recently, I won an instant win game sponsored by MetRX.com, where I won, of all things, a HUGE tub of their vanilla protein powder.

    My first though:  "Yay! I won!"

    My second thought: "What the heck am I going to do with protein powder!?"

    I found a good use for it, though-I gave it to my sister's weight training boyfriend xD





     I love holidays!

    You get so many awesome freebies ^.^

    Like the card I made for my dad, courtesy of Cardstore.com?








     This AMAZING t-shirt was something I won over at Jolly Mom-Thanks to Just Jen, I received a personalized shirt with swarovski crystal letting advertising my jewelry business!

    The Eclectic Element
    Handmade & Vintage



    Now THIS mailbox goodie was something that I bought myself.

    I know, I know-Hard to believe ;)

    I'm trying to get into HTML and when I stumbled across this pocket guide to HTML and XHTML, I didn't hesitate to order it right then and there! If you know me, you know I NEVER do that, so I think that means there is something guiding me in this direction!

    Who knows ^.^
     



    I got my tuition refund check in the mail this week!!!!!!!!

    Can you say WAHOO!?

    Happy Father's Day!


    To all those fathers, step fathers, grandfathers, or father figures out there, or in your life, I want to wish you all a wonderful and happy Father's Day on this lovely Sunday in June :)

    You all are amazing-I can't imagine my life without my father in it. He has done so much for me over the last 21 years of my life; added so much joy, love, and laughter in it, and for that, I'm truly grateful!

    He may be a spaz and a clutz and absent-minded, and a dork most days, but he's MY spazy, clutzy, absent-minded dork!! xD

    Please wish the father in your life Happy Father's Day for me and go and enjoy the day!

    Any special plans?


    Slapdash Sunday(6/19)


    Slapdash Sunday is a day for your proverbial week 'leftovers.' Is there something you wanted to say, but just forgot? Is there something you want to write about, but isn't worth a whole page? Do you have a random thought, funny or otherwise that needs to be written down?

    That is what Slapdash Sunday is for!

    ***********************************************************************

    My feet hurt so bad lately that I can barely walk on them. I need to wear slippers ALL the time because of the pain.

    I've mentioned this a few times to my boyfriend when he asks how I'm feeling daily.

    You want to know what the sweet guy did?

    Before he came over last Sunday, he went out and bought me 2 pairs of comfortable, purple and black socks-He said that he knows my feet hurt a lot and that he thought these socks would help.

    Rawr! I love that man ^.^


    ***********************************************************************
