I am so lucky~ TGIF!

Happy Friday all!

I'm starting to feel a little less sore today so I'm very grateful. :~)
When I woke up this morning I checked my email to find out that I won this giveaway!
Sooo excited!! These heart earrings are so beautiful. Thank you, thank you!
I must of had a lucky, lucky week because I rarely win anything!
Forgot to mention I won one of these postcards early in the week from Rhianne's blog.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I haven't done any self portraits in awhile so I thought it was about time. I snapped these this afternoon by my window. Gosh, I miss being in front of the camera. Hope to have a photo shoot when I completely heal. :)

Have a relaxing night and a terrific weekend if I can't get back on here!
*hugs, hugs, and more hugs*

thinking happy thoughts thursday ⇒

Pardon my absence yesterday. I haven't been feeling too well since my doctors visit on Tuesday. I think since my ear was tampered with its been feeling unhappy. :-( So I'm taking it easy for the next few days. It just really sucks that I'm out of pain meds already. Didn't think I needed them anymore..but oh how I do..ugh.

I want to think "happy thoughts" so here are some pretty things I have had my eye on recently..

* This super adorable blog. I love to see two people in love.

{thoughts}
..i really really need to stop procrastinating about things. ugh.

..i need to pick up my camera and find something fun to photograph. i haven't felt 'photographically inspired' as of late. hope to get that back.

..i can't believe the summer is almost over. i haven't done near the amount of craft projects that i wanted to.

..i feel like i'm ready for fall. i like the cool breeze, long sleeve shirts, and hot cocoa.
(even though we don't get a real fall season here in texas)

{things i want to purchase this week}
:a new sketchbook
::a date stamp::
:::masking tape:::

Happy Birthday to my cousins (triplets) who turned 1 today! :-)
We went to their "Baby Einstein" themed birthday party earlier and it was all too cute. They looked so precious today in their birthday attire. I sadly forgot my camera at home but many other family members brought theirs. I may be stealing facebook photos in the near future! hehe.
