things that made my day.

some of the random and/or fantastic moments of the last month-ish.
it's been pretty fantastic.

23 march. late night drawing shenanigans. (technically the wee hours in the morning of the 24th)


from that point till it was painted over. harry potter on the kitchen wall.


2 april. playing with sparklers and painting with light. (for a class no less!)



22 march/5 april. holga adventures and fantastic memory making.


5 april. spending the afternoon in downtown OP with paul.


6 april. getting a wonderful/exciting/thoughtful package in the mail. more on this later, possibly.


7 april. watching the motorcycle diaries. just as enjoyable the second time.


10 april. spending some time with the lovely, ever amusing duo: kcor and vgil. the picture says it all.


moment uncaptured: watching old sherlock holmes during thunderstorms while drinking hot tea. perfection.

creative endeavors: have yourself a merry little christmas edition

one of my favorite parts of christmas in the last few years has been packaging my gifts to everyone. this year I kept finding fantastic inspiration everywhere so I was psyched. two things to note. one, brown craft paper is rather hard to wrap with, and two, the toast christmas issue is one of the biggest reasons this worked. =) I'm in love with their catalogues. pure gold.

anyways, here are some pictures of the final products. the inspiration was "brown paper packages tied up with string".








oh toast, thank you for being a part of my life.

year in review: may
