artistic endeavors: sunset. sunrise.

mmmmm, nothing like sliced apples (are they gala? i have no idea!) and the tea kettle heating water on the wood-burning stove.
okay.
perfect little moment over.

i mean, it's not over, but i'm going to talk about something else.

like...this painting was september?! 23rd???

i was on a stint of nail polish then, i see...

random: i love sterling silver rings.

ah, fall! look at those leaves! the breeze was going...the sun was shining......ah......

the shadows were falling.....

and i went through a sunset/sunrise obsessed time, just trying my hand at them:)

...journals! ♥

pens. i love good quality pens when i can get my hands on them. these were around $5-8 each pack.
i never dish that much out.
i was thinking....wow...how many americanos is that??
hey...i remember that mocha club missions/charity thing...that was $7 a week...gosh, i feel bad about this......
wait for the punch-line, though.... ;)

let's just say i absolutely love staples' rebate. :) this was what i got --no guilt or pressure of any kind as i browsed for stuff i just wanted-- after i bought a $40 swiss gear laptop bag, which i totally needed. and next to an actual dell bag, it was a pretty sweet deal...plus that rebate. oh love. totally. :)

it spilled. i jostled it. somehow. :)

i'm pretty sure that was a really good day:)

does it look like a good day, or what? hmmm...

heck. yes.
a cookie, too...a giant one, at that. ;) .........coffee.... bible study.... ♥

i ran across a scripture i loved....

and there it is:)

You make beautiful things...You make beautiful things out of the dust....
You make beautiful things...You make beautiful things out of us....
