So me! :P


  Lately as I'm sure you could tell from my recent blog post(s) I've been wasting much of my time on here, as in the internet. I can't help it I've gone without for so long, it's addicting. But seriously with the weather changing for the better I will struggle to do the same with limiting my time on here :P. I'm sure you've guessed by now though that I have spent a bit of time on here today and that's why I made it here to share something cool I've discovered and it is this awesome webpage ~> http://del4yo.squarespace.com/
 they have paper house patterns, cute cutout "To" tags, and printable stationary, etc. it's so cool i just had to share it! I might have to go get some cardstock for printing on, since printing paper is quite flimsy. Oh and here's this sweet diorama I wish to print too!

 Anyway I haven't been on here exclusively. Since the weather has been so nice (flowers and sunshine and hummingbirds and grass and water oh my! <3 love this weather!!), my husband and I have gone yardsaling and yesterday for the first time went a bike riding on the trail by the river near our apartment. The river is a bit high and has flooded the trail in some spots so of course we had to try to bike through the icy waters, many times. My guy is so great! Aterward we traversed the neithborhoods, chased down the icecream truck by ear for surely six blocks and ended up all the way to mission ave.! I biked really fast through the river in the road and got soaked :D there were kids nearby and apparently they were watching and thought that was cool :P We passed some Canadian geese and thier lil baby goosling hoarde. So cute! It lasted for 2 and a half hours, we had so much fun!! I'm totally bringing my camera next time!

Something cool that I'd love to get is one of those instaprint cameras or an original polaroid camera because they print out pics right on the spot bordered by white and perfect for sending to people or pinning on the wall.

  Oh! Something else, I've been writing letters to friends that I really don't talk to all that much. It made me think how silly it is that people don't really hand write through snail mail letters anymore. I wonder if it's a suprise to the post office people when one comes through. and it's strange because we constantly send our peeps texts and messages through email, we hardly ever write letters or get together for "coffee" anymore. I don't know maybe it's just me but I find that such a shame because it's the most fun when you get something in the mail or get together with somebody. Everyone thinks they're so busy and preoccupied they can't pause to write somebody. Or selfconscious and shy they don't get together. Hm. Let's change that!

Okay well I've spent enough time on here, Have a fantabulous day!

Hello all,
This is Staci in Washington. I just noticed that it still says staci crowe, i wonder is i can fix that? Anyway, Alot has happened since my last post such as moving into our appartment, settling into my job, finding and going to church, the usual stuff. both of our parents and extended family have come to visit us and I've made some really nice friends at work. Lately as I always do I'm really excited about decorating and looking at pretty things, luckily we just now got internet access so its no longer bound to only books and magazines :P Ive kinda spent an hour this morning looking at sites like pinterest and etsy and other blogs. It is raining outside after all. :P I love eucalyptus, its a childhood smell! anyway here are some sweet finds i found in my driftings:
silver eucalyptus leaf necklace on etsy
Somebody's art of eucalyptus sold on etsy
Some super awesome cabbage-bloom earrings also sold on etsy
I also came across a remarkably talented artist whose oil painting look more realistic than if youd taken a picture of his subject, his name is Davis Jon Kassan. Here are some examples of his work,
So apparently he uses "fingerpainting" on an ipad, as i was looking up some more of his stuff i realized this. This looks like the one below was painted with a brush but not so.
which is kindof a bubble popper, seeing he's really good with the ipad too it makes you wonder which as done with a medium and which was done digitally. not that both aren't art because they both took talent and work but looking at a paintingdone with paint seems so much more inpressive as there is no undo button and you have to learn the trade.
