So many birds, so little time....

So I am back from my field trip... I didn't think we were going to stay long because it has been nonstop storming here but we were there for about 2 hours before we went back to school to ANALYZE SPECIMENS. FUN! .... not? My instructor was like a kid in a candy store at the smallest glimpse of a bird. I personally just never know I could fill a sheet of paper with all the birds that lived down the street but oooookkkayyyy....... just don't poop on my car again.
In conclusion, do NOT drink anything near a marsh. It's gross.


I am determined to make the next $800 layout! I wish! I haven't done a layout in months ago!

I am going to try my hand at paper piecing. I can draw pretty good, but I don't know if I can get my ideas out onto the paper in this different media. It is going to be a tear paper fairy/mushroom layout... like so many that are already out there. So hopefully I won't ruin a classic. I'm using Basic Grey's Lily Kate for this one, which is already a bit whimsical.

I will be gone for the rest of the weekend to Chicago. My bf and I are going to a Chicago Rush (indoor football) game and a flea market. Maybe a scrapbook store... I dunno... if we have enough time :) OHH I'LL MAKE SOME!

does anyone really like being sick?

I think I speak for everyone when I say that I hate being sick. I wake up Tuesday with a migraine from the land of hockey sticks, ruined that day, yesterday my stomach wanted to hang out in the fish tank, and today its a combo of both. I think I'm having some serious sugar levels too.

Every time I turn around my doctors quit the practice without telling me. I usually find out when I called in to get an appointment, FIGURES! So I decided to change what practice I went to and you know that isn't effective until the first of the month. AGHHHH!!! I've only got a few more days....

Enough with me! Here's the goods:

I just finished another purse:

It was made using Basic Grey's Phoebe collection. It's girly yet funky :)

It's supposed to rain/thunderstorm tomorrow here in IL.... which I don't think is very good since I have a Biology field trip at a local marsh in the afternoon. I have a feeling I may be standing out in the rain in the middle of a marsh tomorrow....

A view of two...

Checkin in....
I was all excited about the semester finally being over...when my summer classes started 3 days later. Yargh!

Anyway, I have finished two purses since and have two started right now.

Basic Grey Sultry Purse

Crate Paper Katlin purse

I am working on two Basic Grey purses right now: a periphery purse and a phoebe purse. Phoebe should be done by the end of the week, if my Swarovski crystals ever come in, while I wait for more Primas for the periphery purse.

I need to venture into different paper collections... anyone have a favorite they'd like to share?

What's coming up!!!

Just checking in!

I am currently working on a Prom purse! I am using Basic Grey's newest collection: Sultry.
I just got a hold of Crate Paper's newest line: Katlin and you will can count on seeing a purse from this fun & girly line!

I promise to put up a preview of the prom purse this week!
Finals are next week so I will soon be done with school for a while, so you can count on many new things to come this summer!
