New Obsession

Pinterest is my new obsession.  I'm a little late in the game, I know I know...my fave bloggers have been raving about it for ages but I just never really took a moment to pop over and see what the hype was about.  This weekend however I did and OH WOW!  My life will never be the same.  I plan on blaming my future lack of productivity to this site alone.

Here are some examples of the awesomeness I found on Pinterest this weekend:

Cute button magnets...such an easy fun craft...I like easy fun crafts.

Um hello...are there even any words to accurately express the cuteness here?

 And a really pretty wedding dress.

I could go on and on about all the magical finds...but I have work to do ;)

Toodles!

This is...

the. 

most.

AMAZING.

It's Not My Fault

It's so not my fault that my postings are so totally sporadic of late.  I still don't have cable functioning at 100% in my new apartment...still...

This means I have to find better things to do with my time than spend my evenings watching the Bachelorette or the Kardashians.  As if.

But, this brought a smile to my face in the midst of the cable crisis so I thought I'd share.

Also, Snapfish is doing a buy 1 photobook get TWO FREE deal right now.  Hello amazing. That makes me smile too.

It's Hot Out.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it is Autumn right now, is it not??

Well in honor of the sunshiny days we are having, I thought I would post a few fun sunshiny Etsy finds.

I heart Etsy.

My New Designer Boyfriend Revisited...

OMG.
I was just over at Fashion Island...the mall by my house...and my new designer boyfriend just opened HIS VERY OWN STORE there.*

How couldn't I have known??!
It's my new heaven on earth.
I would like to purchase everything.
Actually, I just want to move into the store itself.

I saw this today and MUST HAVE it.


Along with this.

And hello??? THIS.

Adorable.

The Weenie Naitonals

So I just found out that TODAY is the Weenie Dog Nationals. I LOVE the Weenie Nationals. And I mean I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE them. Doxies are my favorite dog in the whole world. They are always happy and they love to cuddle and be loved on and they just look so darn cute when they run! And they are 100 times cuter at the races because they wear their little racing outfits. I can't handle it. SO. ADORABLE. I look forward to the Weenie Dog races every year. But somehow I just totally didn't get the memo about this year's races...such a bummer!

BUT I do have THIS (see below) to remember how fabulous the races are...I scrapped about them :)
