It has been pouring for two days straight. Jada and I had to spend the day in our hoodies to hide what the rain has done to our manes.

Dreams *do* come true.

I was one of those poor, poor little girls who struggled growing up because she did not own the Barbie Dream House. I did try to craft my own out of an old box, using magazine pages as wallpaper. I even found some carpet remnants for flooring. It was RAD. But still not the "real" dream house.



Check out this front-loading washer and dryer. STILL better than what I've got in real life!

Curious about your style? You can take the quiz right here.

This might be my next project.

How cute is this?



As if I don't have enough projects going on (see blank canvas below, which will be my project, I am finding, for the better part of this season ... or longer), I can't help but want to make this cute little butterfly picture art. I found the idea on LollyChops.
