Art Exhibit Throwback

Well, it's Throwback Thursday in the Instagram world so I guess I can throwback to last Saturday.  As most of you know, Saturday was my senior art exhibit.  That class was more than a challenge than I thought it would be.  Gathering your four best works over a period of four years is a bit stressful.  People would judge my abilities on these works.  No pressure at all.  All in all, Saturday was wonderful.  I got to see my family and friends.  That is what made it worth all the work.

Whew!

Now, let's relax.

Cooks and Books

I guess it's time for me to write again.  I had a much needed break.  I had to focus on life for a bit and my posting suffered.  I'm very happy to report that my senior exhibit is ovah!  I am also all done turning in paperwork for student teaching.  Now I only have is finals to conquer.  Only!  It's a good balance I tell ya.

Anyway, I have some new details of my life for you!  I am starting a book club with my crazy and weird friend, Jessica.  It's called Cooks and Books.  We will meet the last weekend of each month and eat a meal that correlates with our reading.  I'm super excited and have been wanting to start a book club for eons.

So far, we only have four members including Jessica and me.  If you would like to join just let me know.  I'll probably be updating each month here.  For May, we will be reading The Marriage Bureau for Rich People by: Farahad Zama.  Because it was on sale and I like Indian food.  Nuff said.

Keep reading!

Because I'm a Flake...

I totally forgot about the link up with the swap I just participated in.  Forgive me please.  I had the best partner ever!  I'm pretty lucky to have her as a swap buddy.  I participated in The Creative Exchange through Covered in Mod Podge.  My partner was Laura from Cottage and Broome.  You should check out her blog and be amazed at all the pretty things to look at.  Here is a picture of my wonderful gifts:

1.  Craft tape that I adore and have been wanting forever!

2.  A beautiful beaded bracelet that Laura made herself.  I love it!

3.  A container for my art supplies that I am already using on my desk.

4.  Zentangles!

5.  Chocolate.  I love chocolate. 

I almost didn't want to open the packaged because it was decorated so beautifully.  She put little details into every bit and made it such a joy to open.  Thanks so much Laura for all the wonderful stuff that cheered me up after a really hard week!  

Check her out!

Insta Five Friday (Book Edition)

1.  I had the pleasure of spending last weekend with some of my best friends.
2.  Jessica and I can't be left alone in a bookstore.
3.  We are starting a book club!  Please let me know if you want to join.
4.  I have a secret reading spot.  I go there in my car when I want to get away and read and read.
5.  This is my latest read.  I have two more after this one to finish before May.

More on the book club later.

Back to Reality

Well guys, it is back to reality.  My palooza weekend was fun but I must get back to the books.  Even better: I have a test tomorrow.  History of Modern Art to be exact.  Say a prayer for me.  In the name of warm and fun-filled weekends, I'm going to recount my lastest adventures.  Here are some photos from my palooza-tastic weekend.  Enjoy!

1.  My two oldest friends, Sarah and Jessica: the craziest, weirdest, and best friends a girl could have.

2.  Meet Jessica.  She likes Korea, refugees, coffee, and rugged men.

3.  Meet Sarah.  She likes pizza, crafts, 90's nickelodeon, and not-so rugged men. (and making funny faces)

4.  We made cupcakes.  We like cupcakes.  

5.  Although it looks like a beautiful, warm day, (and it was) the water was fuh-reezing.  

6.  Never let me and Jessica loose in a bookstore together.  Damage done.

How was your weekend?

Any big tests/projects?

Phillapalooza

I'm Paloozin' it up, y'all!  

Have a good Saturday!

(and that girl frowning was actually having a good time)

Insta Four Friday

1.  Muh mint.  You've probably already seen her.  She is now sitting beautifully in my dorm window.
2.  Look it.  My new computer background that I downloaded.  For the life of me I can't remember where it is from.
3.  This is an oldie.  I get to spend the weekend with these two: my hometown pals.  Palooza time.
4.  I gots a new phone.  My first iphone.  Do I get to be in the club now?

I just I don't have five instagrams this week.

What have you been up to?
