I'm no Rapunzel.

Listening to: Heads/Tails by Hotspur. New favorite song, thank you Bleah
Lyric love: Heads we go to London/ And try to save the queen/ Tails we go to Paris/ And try our hand at romance/ Call it in the air. 


Just one more Disney painting to add to my collection.

In other news:

-I'll be gone all weekend, so I'll try to have a few things scheduled.

-Comment moderation is turned off permanently, unless you're commenting on an older post. I suppose this means you can leave me nasty anon comments and I can't do anything about it, but we don't want that happening, do we?

-Book suggestions, anyone? My stack is running low, and I'd love to hear some of your favorites.

-On Monday I realized that Flynn Rider's twin is in my drawing class. I now can't figure out why it took me so long to notice.

-The blog's second birthday is coming up in less than a month! I think it would be really wonderful if we could hit 200 followers before then. If so, I'll try to organize a little giveaway of some sort.


If you haven't noticed, spring is 100 percent here... Hope you have a warm and sunshiney afternoon!

  3. I love your paintings! :) I've really had the urge lately to dabble with paint, but I don't have any. I want to try out watercolors, but I couldn't find them the last time I was in the craft store.

  8. Those are canvas painting, correct? They're lovely. I especially love the cliff one, but well that also could be because I especially love UP! :]

    Listening to the song now. Good stuff.

  9. The painting of the painting is amazing! I am SO glad that I finally got around to watching Tangled. It has definitely made my life better. :)

    Not sure if you're already familiar, I always have and always will recommend John Green books.

    Happy almost birthday to your blog!

    And yay for spring! I love all of the perdy flowers. It's even nice and sunny out here today, so that's great. :D

  15. so you wanna give justin a chance, eh? my favorite songs are:

    -pray (all-time favorite)
    -overboard (i think you'd like it :)
    -one less lonely girl acoustic
    -stuck in the moment (sounds a little girly, but catchy)
    -never say never (pump-up song)

    hope you like them!

  16. EEEEP! now I'M so incredibly excited!!! :DDD what's your...eep!...address?

  17. Love tangled. Seriously amazing.

    I just finished A Swift Pure Cry. It's about this girl; her mum is dead and her dad is an alcoholic. It deals with teen pregnancy and priests. It's dark and depressing in parts but very well written. Also, anything by Alice Hoffman is brilliant, and I really liked The Secret Lives Of Dresses and The Sky Is Everywhere. Oh, and Rebecca!

  19. Okay 1) LOVE the painting, you kill me with your talent:) 2)Books... unfortunately you and my sis have pretty much read everything I have. But, my suggestion is the Gone series by Michael Grant. (Might have spelled Michael wrong:) Other than that...nothing comes to mind. 3)How old is this look a-like, if he's too old for you, I'm available:) JK. Truly, I am kidding. 4)Two years, and what a transformation! This blog looks so different now than when it did when you first *found* us:) 5)Spring is epic. And I totally love Tangled as well, BTW!

    Sorry this is so long, I just have been so out of the loop recently! It feels good to chat!
