aaawwwww

welcome to the world baby sister! My dad and step mom had this little beauty on Friday morning. All is great, and I can't wait to be able to go visit her.

snagged again

here is my latest etsy purchase. It was in a treasury and I fell in love. I'm so excited to get it!

I'm a sucker for etsy, what can I say?

Here is a link to the shop I bought it from-http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5095053

Hooray!!!!

Yesterday was my little brother's graduation and he was the valedictorian. He also won an award. I'm so proud of him!!! That's actually my cousin hugging him and his girlfriend in the background.

me, the graduate, and the littlest one..

Plugging away

So I have yet to take a picture of me wearing my favoritest etsy purchases, but I really think that a blog praising the makers and what i bought is wayyyy overdue. So here we are. This is a cuff bracelet that I got from Radcow (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=33880) Only the coolest shop ever. I have a really hard time not buying out the shop. I wear this with everything. I think that it's pretty unique looking. Go check out the shop for a few more amazing things.

And this is a necklace that I bought from Magnoliastreet. I read about her making it in her blog and was so upset that it wasn't in her store. Patience is apparenly a virtue (or blind persistence) because not too long after, it showed up for sale and I snagged it. It is the prettiest thing. I get so many compliments on it. Even the back clasp is gorgeous! (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=79591) She has a pretty cool blog too.

So there you have it. My raves for Etsy once again.

Maybe for my birthday I will go splurge a bunch on Etsy. hmmm

The smell of it all..

So I think that I am in love with this new soap that I bought from etsy. The maker is Shower Treat Soap and the link that you should be clicking right now is: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=20548 The energy soap (the one on the right) and the Spearmint and eucalyptus (left) are the greatest. They smell amazing and it lasts for a long time. Almost all of the soaps are vegan so some are so yummy it's hard to not want to eat them....now if only my mom had these when I was little.

Why Lee is the greatest

My fiance got me a Canon Powershot S3 for Christmas and I think I just got the hang of it...for your viewing pleasure:

ONE MORE YEAR!!!!!!!

So I've started a photo diary...I got the idea from http://www.etsy.com a lot of the members are doing one photo of them a day for an entire year, and others have a self portrait thursday. Since I now have one year to go until my wedding I figured it would be kinda cool to take a self portrait every day and have the last one of the year be me in my wedding dress. This is my first one on June 7th 2007. It's my only one more year to go photo. Yes, yes, that is my shower curtain in the background. I'm pretty excited, except for the fact that I actually have to take a picture of myself every day..weird.
