Week 24

1) Cake Decorating

Seriously, I'm addicted to Cake Boss, Next Great Baker, Cake Wars, Ace of Cakes, and Amazing Wedding Cakes.

P.S. - Valli, who I'm living with right now, used to be a cake decorator. My present this year for my birthday is a custom made cake by Valli, that I get to help with to learn! What!

Next Great Baker here I come. Or maybe more like Next Just-Learning Baker. 

2) Tulle. 

Oh don't worry, you'll find out why eventually. 

3) This incredible cover of Fix You by Coldplay done by my soon-to-be-sister and her friend. 

I can't believe how soothing her voice is. I've listened to this like 14 times already. 

4) Paint Chips. They save my life while pre-wedding planning.

5) Wedding Planning. 

And to keep all you lovelies updated on the happenings, I present for your enjoyment a new series!

So get ready, cause the fun don't stop till I get a ring on that boy snails finger!

Chandeliers of Hope

Oh dear. 

It's getting closer and closer to December, which means it's getting closer and closer to the time when I will have no time. 

But I don't care. It's all beautiful, life changing things that are taking place this Christmas. I wouldn't change any of it for the world.

Sisters to be had, brothers to get married, poems to be read, receptions to be celebrated, plane rides to take, graduation open-houses to party at. 

And so I leave you with this song, to keep you company in the coming weeks of absence (most likely).

Christmas Lights - Coldplay

(my new favorite Christmas song)

Memory 13

I have to admit...I have no idea why we haven't talked about this before dear bloggers.

As a college student, I had found little else that delights me like the waxy smell of crayons and a fresh coloring book. Or better yet, writing music and coloring can help me get inspiration before I write or provide a good break from studying.

I remember envying the kids at school that got the 64 packs because they came with a sharpener (which really didn't work so they always ended up pealing the paper back like the rest of us).

Try coloring this week...I promise you'll have fun. 

And if you need some writing music:
