I have been obsessing over the colors in this photo shoot for days. I can't wait to use them in my next pattern collection! Light and Fantastic by Javier Vallhonrat for Vogue.

SCRAP!

SCRAP (The School and Community Reuse Action Project) is an amazing local non-profit organization. Their store has a bunch of reused arts, crafts, school, and office supplies at incredibly low costs. One thing I love going to SCRAP for is wrapping paper. These beauties are just a few of the many pieces of wrapping paper I found there today. I couldn't have spent a better $3.

Polyvore

Create a look in minutes using Polyvore. I'm hooked!

Polaroids. I'm a fan.

I have always loved polaroids. I became a fan of polaroids on facebook and looked through the hundred or so photos. There was such a range--some gorgeous, some creepy, some that told a story, and a lot that had me wondering what the hell people do in their free time!! This is my favorite of the bunch.

Please tell me you know about TOMS?! With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. They are cute AND comfortable! (+ their design is awesome. ♥♥ TOMS hire me!)

I made these using Rebecca's tutorial. Easy, fast, I'm going to make a million more.

We didn't make this, but are grateful to whoever did.

April Showers

I love April. Even when it rains! Spring is wonderful, and so is this fabric-- April Showers from Alexander Henry.

Buying prints on Etsy is so exciting! We just purchased these three prints from Brandi Strickland's shop. Her mixed media collage work is spectacular, and will make the perfect addition to our office!

Swap!

My friend Rebecca and I had our own little fabric swap, and look at the SO CUTE fabric I received! I love it, and am absolutely adoring it. We also did a small handmade goodie exchange: she made me two cupcake heat pads AND gave me these white floral hair clips from Etsy. Oh, and to top it all off a tiny card with an ice cream cone sticker on it! Ok—hearts, cupcakes, anchors, lobsters, polka dots, ice cream cones with smiley faces. . . seriously, what could be better?! NOTHING! Thanks Rebecca, you are awesome!!!
