the month by iPhone :: January 2016

January was quite the ride, getting settled into my new apartment and into a new schedule, a trip to Chicago to see some friends, and a couple Door County adventures.

some of our guests had seen me out the night before at a NYE party, so they knew that I wasn't feeling the best on the first and brought dessert for me. (:

bedroom <3

coffee prep time!

closet clean out time with thredUP.

I love all of the Valentine's Day stuff at Target, but the Crayola things are my very favorite, and I just love the smell of fresh Crayola crayons.

sparkle snow.

life advice.

IKEA checkout line on a Sunday. I forgot that it might be busy.

my newest friend Tucker.

unicorn love.

updating the mini gallery in my hallway.

a library haul.

colors and shapes.

five years with Luna Lovebug! recreating a picture from that first drive, but this time with a weather-appropriate drink.

it probably wasn't the greatest idea to be out on the pier when it is so ice-covered, but it was so pretty!

working on a Valentine's Day project. as always, the printable can be found here.

this picture is less creepy than it seems.

I would like to know what happened here. was someone trying to steal Fiestaware?

inception, of sorts.

shiny clean tiles.

the month by iPhone :: December 2015

the end of the year! crazy how things changed so fast this time around. most of the month was spent getting ready for the move at the very end of the month, but then there were also some holidays in there and spending time with great friends (and having a little too much fun). of course I was also working! taking a couple weeks off of the Y for holidays really made me confused about what day it was.

perfect words of wisdom.

forgotten but not lost.

legs of steel.

sometimes this is what happens when I'm checking rooms... I thought it would make a cool image.

yes, I enjoy sitting on the floor.

Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

when your favorite Boy Scout brings you alcohol (;

made it better. gold stars forever.

dog 629 decided he had had enough.

black and grey with a touch of pink.

Bruiser the love doggie. he's so tiny that the tennis ball is too large for his mouth and he carries it by the fuzz!

Christmas present wrapping.

instead of camp planning, I ended up making 120 jingle bells for a swim meet...

mint chocolate chip cookies! I use Betty Crocker's recipe. (:

canvas details.

starting to move, with a raven skeleton.

deep dark red for Christmas.

tub resurfacing quarantine.

bringing more things to the new apartment. this was actually the second thing to go on the wall. (the first was my nevermore mirror.)
{print here.}

a slow Christmas shift.
{print here.}

 new shoesh, as Piper would say.

always only a ring away.

an important and fragile box.

when you don't have enough boxes and don't really care.

moving in a Volkswagen Beetle. fun times.

creepy yet beautiful.

sunset.

goodbye 2015. you've taught me a lot.

the month by iPhone :: November 2015

I nearly forgot to write this intro...

Well, November was an interesting month! It started off with a very long night with some wonderful people, and I was able to go out a few more times throughout the month to spend some time with parts of the #songfamily. I also spent some time with family at Thanksgiving, and there were Monday adventures in between.

big huge thanks to the wonderful people at the Inn at Cedar Crossing for letting us in a few minutes before they opened. going out for breakfast at seven means that we didn't sleep. whoops.

thanks, dancing.

three black stars for luck on my camera. here to stay. thanks to Teflon for making them for me. <3

I was so happy to find the last one in the Target clearance. I actually hung this up on the day of the dead, which is the second, not the first like I had thought!

beautiful maple leaves and the smell of autumn.

"or peas... I like peas too."

lunch at Coyote Roadhouse!!! (delicious bbq pulled pork)

new sunglasses <3

stripes of sunlight.

brick love.

lobby friends.

there were some pretty incredible sunsets this month... unfortunately, especially since the sun sets so early right now, I don't really get more than this for a view.

Lake Michigan mornings.

hiking on some Door County Land Trust property along the canal. yes, this is what I wore.

same place, different day. same subjects, different angle.

not everyone is allowed to leave a mess for me to clean up.

I straightened that painting to take a photograph, but the I took the photo at an angle anyway...

same room, the next day after realizing that the wrong chair had been in there for a month!

a dusting of snow on the way for getting Luna's snow tires on!

 baking Chai Spiced Snickerdoodles from Sally's Baking Addiction for Thanksgiving!

I totally won Candy Land (:

thanks to a conversation with the very convincing Barrett, I got this beauty back out.

Meadow Lane, Baileys Harbor

my Influenster Spice VoxBox arrived in the mail! I can't wait to try and share these products!
