This is the funnest "client" in the history of clients. You may kind of recognize him from a shoot I did with him about a month ago, minus the blood. Yes, this is Corbin McDavitt! Corbin is an inspiring stand up comedian and he wanted to take some promo shots so he can make posters and promote his stand up act! I haven't had the chance to see him preform yet, but I want too so badly! I hear he's great!
The reason why he chose to be all bloody and "zombie attacked, apocalypse " it's a spin off of the saying "Knock em dead, kid." which I thought was pretty clever and a new take on things. It was a funny, bloody shoot which is what we were both going for.
I found this magical painting in a pile on the side of the road! I couldn't believe my eyes when I walked past and saw this beautiful painting laying there! The frame is all beaten up, but with a brand new frame and a little cleaning up, it'll be just like new even though it's dated from 1980! I kind of have a tiny obsession for owls so this is just amazing. I can't wait for it to be hanging up in my room! I love it so much!
Also, ever since I started making headbands, my button collection has sky rocketed! It still has a long way to go, but I'm very pleased with the progress that it's made so far! Buttons are such an adorable decoration.
I'm totally crushing on black&white photos all over again. These lovely ones are of Twiggy, Marlyn Monroe, and Audrey Hepburn. Having a conversation with Ryan about our love of these beautiful people really re-lighted my passion and love. I have black&white photo's all over my room! I just think they're incredibly magical! One (of the many) that I have hanging in my room is this:
I absolutely adore it!
Isn't he adorable?! (that's his little squirrel toy beside him)
1. I want this cast iron bathtub couch by ruffhouseart! It is so creative and completely adorable! I love it so!
2. Such a neat, innovative way to store/showoff your jewelry!
3. Cutecutecute mustache mugs from BlueMarsArt.
4. The neatest idea for a coat rack that I've ever seen!
5. Eep! This lovely 60's pleated jumper dress!
6. I would love to add this vintage camera to my collection!
7. Cute vintage cocktail ring!
8. How adorable is this hat??
9. Oh how I would loveeeee these sunglasses for my birthday!! swooon 
My simple goal for the week, along with finishing the headband orders that I have gotten over the past few days, is to make a headband in every color just for my personal use to show what each headband will look like in the colors that I have! I know it may sound like an easy task, but sometimes if I don't set goals for myself it's easy to get distracted, therefore not completing what I originally set out to do. I try not to set too hard of goals to make sure I don't discourage myself before I even begin. 
Another goal of mine is to buy and wear more vintage/thrifted dresses! I got this adorable anchor dress from Ragin' Daisy's in New Orleans, it's from the 1960's! Wearing it always puts a smile on my face.
We finally made our cupcakes! It was so much fun, too! I could definitely make making cupcakes a weekly thing! We made sort of a "Reese's" cupcake; all we did was buy milk chocolate cake mix and added slightly heated (easier to spread) Peter Pan peanut butter on top! And just to make them a little bit cuter, I sprinkled chocolate chips on the top! If you like the combination of chocolate and peanut butter together, you should definitely try this! It's so delicious! Since we used a whole box of cake mix, we ended up making 24 cupcakes, so we took the ones we didn't eat, which was about 18 or so, to the youth and they seemed to enjoy them! Ahhh. I just love making things for people! 
What's your favorite baked goody? Let me know!
My best wishes go out to the newly weds Kimber and Josh Windham! I feel terrible that I couldn't be there, but I wish you're honeymoon, marriage, and the rest of your life together nothing but the best! Despite getting married on Friday the 13th!
So this is what I have been up too lately! Crocheted flower headbands! I'm so proud of the cute little things! I've got a few more things up my sleeve as far as crocheting goes, but I'm going to make sure that I can do them before I share them, just to make sure I don't get anyone's hopes up for a letdown in the end ;]
This is definitely a project that is fun and frustrating at the same time! But it's all worth it in the end.
Hope you're having a great week!
Josie and I played her parents Battleship game that they have had since they were teenagers. It was so much fun! I've never really played Battleship before so it was definitely a fun new thing to try. Especially since I won :]
This is what I made when I picked up crocheting again! It's a flower! I'm not finished with that product and there is a lot more to come from that! I'm really excited about this and have bought a few new colors of yarn. I'll have to show you when I completely finish what I've started. It's always fun when you start new projects in your life, and I seem to have a couple going on right now! Everything is going so good and all these changes are still so positive, I can't complain about the things that do go slightly wrong. Swoon
The last one of Josie is my absolute favorite! Well, actually, the one that is my foreal favorite I can't show you just yet because it's part of the (or is the) secret project. Oh, and I was just kidding about her wanting to show off, this is just what she does when she is bored; makes masterpieces. Isn't she talented?! I was so happy with the way things have turned out, I had to do a special post for it :) Keep up the good work Kacey, it is absolutely amazing.
My cousin, Brian, is in the Army and he just got back from I think his 3rd go-round in Iraq. In just a short week, him and his wife and his adorable son Patrick will be moving to Seattle, Washington where he will be stationed. I will definitely miss them, but I think visiting them will be a must.
This is Patrick, isn't he adorable?! He is the happiest, smartest kid that I know. I love him very, very much and I hope he stays just as sweet his whole life! Look at his adorable white hair!
I bought some yarn today and I'm going to spend the rest of the night picking up where I left off when I first started crocheting about 5 years ago. Hopefully it'll be like riding a bike and I didn't forget how too! I also have very exciting news! I have been talking to Kacey all night long almost and she has the most amazing, adorable idea for my blog that I've ever heard! I am so excited for this! I'm going to leave it a surprise until it is complete so I can show you as soon as I tell you. I am supper excited! It's going to be so much fun!
It came a flood today, but ironically, the sky is always so pretty after a storm :]

2. My brother, Spencer, is pretty much the smartest person that I know. He keeps me on my toes.
3. Even though you can't see her face, this is Josie. She has been one of my very best friends since I was probably about eight years old. She's always pushed my creative side and encourages me to follow my heart and dreams. (P.S. This is one of my favorite/coolest pictures)
4. I'm sure it's no secret that Braxton plays a key role in my life. He teaches me a lot about myself and who I'm becoming. He'll help anyone at anytime, he's the best friend/(boyfriend) that any person could ask for.
5. I hate that I don't have a better picture of Kacey, but she's the one in the middle and is an inspiring graphic designer. She has just freshly turned 15 and absolutely blows me out of the water in brains, creativity, and humor. I will miss her greatly next year! She will do absolute amazing things.
(along with my Yellow Bird header, this is some of her work she did with a picture of me)
6. My adorable Aunt Paula is who I give all the credit for showing me that I love to do crafty things. If it weren't for her doing some sort of "art project" with me every time we were together, I don't know where I would be now. Lucky for me, I have an art teacher for an aunt :]
7. My Dad is the most kind-hearted person that I know. I love him to no end. He practically raised me by himself and the thought of all he did and sacrificed for me brings tears to my eyes. We also have contest in the winter as to who can read the most books ;] he normally wins by a landslide.
8. I love my Papaw to pieces and I know he loves me even more than I love him. Him and Mamaw (who passed away at Christmas) spoiled me rotten when I was growing up. After my mom died, I would stay with them every other weekend, so they helped raise me. Also, every time I was over at their house, I would get a new Barbie doll :] needless to say, I had a ton of Barbie's growing up! I hope to one day be as good of grandparents as mine are.

10. Kimber, as you know, has been another of my best friends for a while now. She was one of those people that as soon as I saw her, I knew we were going to be the best of friends, and we are. We're so much a like that people get our voices confused all the time and we pretty much wear the same things; like twins. :] She's as cute as a button and I laugh with her all the time!
Happy Monday!
