My birthday was the 26th and Steven got me this cool vinyl grab bag and some cannibal fun fair guys as well as a gorgeous Tara McPherson screen print that is numbered and signed... I can't wait to have it framed. I also can't wait to take some pictures of our collection to share with everyone :)

I am really wanting this awesome hello kitty vinyl these days.

She is so cute and all of her organs are so happy and adorable!

O.K . so this is a pretty weak post but I promise next week will be better!

Lazy Monday!

So I have my day off today and I decided to order some new sneakers for work. I still have to work on my 25 before 26 list. I am also planning on finishing up the curtains for the bedroom and making some new hair accessories... I am definitely ready to get my Etsy up and running :)

I had a merchandise credit to GAP from christmas when I returned a pair of jeans. I have not been into what GAP has been offering lately so I went over to the piperlime website and checked out the sneakers and I decided on these ....

I have been wanting a pair of sneakers that aren't Vans for awhile but haven't been able to find my size in anything because I wear a 5 and apparently shoe companies don't like my size feet. When I saw these lovelies I had to have them! they are my size and that green is such a great color! AHHH I can't wait to get them haha. Getting things in the mail is so exciting and excellent!

OH I also have to take some pictures of my birthday presents!!! Steven got me some pretty awesome stuff :)

If I had 3 wishes right now they would be ...

1. Have my student loan debt paid off!

OMGEEE that would be the biggest blessing in the world... haha the picture has nothing to do with my student loans it's just funny

2. A house for my love and I... Living in an apartment is O.K. but I can't wait for Steven and I to have a house so I can have a garden :) and a beautiful craft room!

3. Eat all the yummies and goodies I want and never gain an ounce! I love food and sweets but because I am short I gain weight instantly! ugh stupid!
