rock candy crystals

...When he saw that every branch of every tree was encased in ice, 
My skirt was thrifted.

Texas snow in our backyard, 10 days ago.
No, it didn't last long.
Yes, we are glad the temperature is warmer again.

My cousin made my necklace.

Cow photos my guy took in the Colorado snow,
on our road trip in December.

You might not be able to see,
but my nails are actually painted gunmetal and dark brown on every other finger,
and a stripe of silver polish is down the middle.

with their dad, my brother n-law

My mom gave me the sweater.
 
I wore it before, here.


...marveling at the buildings and houses and how they looked like cakes covered in seven-minute frosting and coconut flakes...

My shoes were thrifted. 




My art journal pages from early January.
all papers were painted or inked by me and collaged together.
These pages were inspired by this post by Donna Downey.

It says:

Choose Brightly
the world of never
Live in action
Show Heart
Celebrating like
light crazy unicorns

negligent me


This post was supposed to be up last Monday,
 and it never happened. I blame it on a road trip.


So here's my Inspiration Monday, from a week ago.
 

This is my version.


The ladies Megan and Nora of Two Birds Boutique
 choose an outfit to inspire a look.
Today's inspiration is: 

Leona Lewis
to see how others styled the look go to
inspiration monday: the sweater.

My coat was thrifted.

My dress was thrifted.


My scarf was thrifted.

The only chains she liked were on her clothes
 or accessories.

If I didn't get a chance to tell you before,
I'll now wish you a very Merry Christmas!  :)
