1/28/09- remember when dates were printed on photographs?  

who's cooler than barack obama??.....

.........BABY BARACK OBAMA!!

today was a historic day! (not because of obama but because i was able to wake up at 8:30, that's super early!) jk yes because of obama! without being cheesy: i'm so glad he's our new president!

f.y.i.

ok, so i started a new little segment on my blog today, if you look at the left sidebar, you'll see "currently obsessing about", there i'll list 3 things i'm currently really into, now i just have to make sure to change them from time to time :) 

for the moment i'm currently obsessing about: 

1) saving money. (as i'm sure everyone else is). 2) vintagey looking french notebooks from laughing elephant (i have one that i bought from forever 21, of all places, but the website has so many more) 3) a set of drinking glasses my friend liz gave me for x-mas, i know it's silly to be really excited about drinking glasses, but i can't help it, they really make me happy.

in progress

just started another project (a mini cartonlandia) this week in preparation for an upcoming show,
