I apologize for being bad with commenting, but I'm on winter break now! It seems everyone's kinda left el-jay, but it's s'all gooda. I've been spending these days pretending to be a princess, playing with my nephew, and being an idiot (which is always fun). Me and my friends saw The Princess and The Frog, and I was so excited I thought I was gonna pee and cry. Go see it :)
just feel like posting random sketchies and drawings (NSFW for one of them, p33n alert) I did for college these past few months, enjoy!
( boooooosh )

The question: What does an IB student do on her Christmas holidays?
The answer: She freaks out about the lack of deadlines (what to do with her life?!) and thus spends inordinate periods of time designing and creating gingerbread cookies.
They're kind of the best things in the history of ever, though. I have picture proof.
I created all the icing from scratch using only green, red and yellow food coloring (only ones we have in Sweden), hundreds and thousands of multiple colors (that I PICKED OUT BY HAND) and my oh-so-vast imagination. And dough cutting skillz. This is to say: these cookies will never be eaten. Over my dead, rainbow-hued body will these cookies ever be ingested by anyone.
( Paraphrasing and/or bastardizing Comic Book Guy: Best. Cookies. Ever. )
And yeah, yeah, I know I'm not a good photographer and the pictures look pretty wonky and all. In my defense, they were taken with my cellphone. Still, my cellphone's got 5 megapixels, so I don't know that that particular piece of defense is worth much. I just have pretty shaky hands, I guess. Also, some of them turned out dark enough that I had to auto-adjust them in Photoshop, but now they look like they're at a UV-light disco instead. I don't even know.
Still, MARRY CHRISTMAS, PEOPLE. <3 Not that it wasn't really yesterday. And not that I actually celebrated it this year. :c

We take turns watching each other :)
I hope everyone has a sweet and peaceful holiday season. I didn't have time for holiday photos this year so CATS is what you get!
Love,

| EEEEEP! I actually WON something! |
[23 Dec 2009|07:41am] |
I have been entering a lot of giveaways and today I found an email in my inbox..that I was the winner of this awesome Wedgewood Deco Bloom Teacup & Saucer Set. The give away was hosted by Favourite Vintage Finds. I am SOOOO excited!!!
Today's To Do list is a little insane. I have a ton of laundry that needs to get done and also I need to quick make and bake a cheesy hash brown casserole for Chris's work pot luck and then get it over there at about 11:45. I think that since I will be in Sheboygan I might stop at Target and check out what's left there of the Rodarte Go International line. It's hard to tell if it will be sold out or now here. The Erin Fetherston one did really badly...this isn't exactly a fashion forward Midwest town! I guess that is why our thrift stores are not very great.
I will leave you with this..because I think that it's funny.

As I am sure that you can tell..I have been trying to post more here on LJ. I, like so many others, was not bothering to post much. But..I LIKE LJ. I don't want it to die a horrible death. It's so much more fullfilling to make an entry here than at Facebook where all you have is a very small amount of space. It's a little bit Twittery-ish..and I never was fond of Tweeting.
So..It's almost Christmas. I have a lot of stuff that I need to get done. Most of it is not even Christmas related. It's a list that reads something like this: Fill Max's water bottle, get Daenen's pills refilled, put casserole together, laundry, and the one Christmas thing on my list...make Rosettes. I make them each year as my Grandfather's Christmas gift. They take hours standing in front of a deep fryer..and I really don't like making them. He loves them, though. This year I am making spiders and snowflakes. He may not be able to tell the difference since he has macular degeneration and his eye sight is crap..but sh shares with the staff at his home..and they should get a kick out of it.
So..Delia*s just sent me a thing that they are having their super secret sale right now and I went and looked with the intention of NOT buying anything. However, they tossed a top into clearance that I have been coveting for ages. Then I had a code (DXTGIFT) to take $10.00 of a $25.00 purchase so I went ahead and also got a brown tank top to bring the total up to $25.00.
Right now I am also pondering what to do with my hair. Colorwise and cut wise. I really like the Zooey Deschael but I am not sure if it would suit me. Her hair IS quite dark.
But..damn does her hair color makes her eyes pop!

I am bummed out. Anthropologie canceled my order for this shirt because they ran out...now all I am getting from them is the candle holder.
I am also getting a cold or something. My head is stuffed a bit and my whole body feels heavy.

It was, in fact, a kitty nipple! A lot of you guys guessed kitty nipple or chest so good jorb! Although I liked the suggestion that it was me wearing a santa beard. HA!
Next time I'll have to make it tricker. You guys are too good. I've unscreened all the guesses if you wanna go take a peek!

| Stuff that I have recently bought for myself |
[18 Dec 2009|08:12am] |
I have not been doing a ton of shopping lately but rather I have been clearing out a lot of stuff in my closet in an attempt to make room for some more QUALITY stuff. I am trying to think...less stuff but better quality. If I order something and it isn't REALLY good..it has been getting sent back. I realize that it sounds like I shop a lot..but I really don't. I HATE malls and I don't really like shopping in stores. Most of by buys are online. Although they opened an Anthropologie in Milwaukee and I am dying to go someday.
I saw a similar hat on my friend Amy in her Facebook profile picture..and I fell in love with it. I love LOVE love vintage stuff and antiques and have decided to edge my personal style more towards that then it has been in the past. When I was younger wearing things of that nature made me feel costume-y but now wearing Hot Topic-esque punky gothy stuff makes me feel costume-y.
This skirt and the hat are both from Urban Outfitters. I am not sure if the high waist will work on me at all..but it's worth a try.
I bought this from American Eagle Outfitters. I NEEDED a black cardigan that was more snug fitting than all of the too large ones that I currently have. It's a nice chunky knit and I love it. If they go on sale some more and I can find codes I want to order the navy blue one and maybe the cream one as well.
I ordered this candle holder from Anthropologie. It fits in with my teal and red room and it was only $3.98 on sale. They have blue ones as well. I read that they are the size of a coffee mug.
I ordered this from Anthro as well..from the clearance section. I think that the picture is rather small..they are sold out now and I could only find a picture of it in my invoice.
Also..I am sorry that I complain a lot. I need to work on changing that.

There is something wrong with my Christmas Tree program in the last post. Sadly I only received one gift..but the tree refuses to hand it over!
I found this picture and I really like how my hair is in it. My semi-permanent brown, though, isn't coming out AT ALL..so I guess that I am stuck with it. I have also been letting my hair go wavy. It's less work..and it looks softer. Plus it's a lot less damaging than the flat iron/hair dryer combo that I have been doing.
All of the pictures from the front turned out really badly and I don't really want to share bad pictures! HAHAHAHA.
Here is Finn and I instead. Excuse the background..we were in the bathroom!
Yesterday I spend a good chunk of time looking at David Tennant.
