Valentine's Day post card from Naomi, thrifted heart ring,
N.Y.C. Big, Bold & Precise eye liner (via Influenster Vox Box), City Color lip stain,
Surprise gifts are the absolute best! I came home on Tuesday to find a package and immediately ripped it open. Martie sent me a "Good Morning Sunshine" pillowcase for Galentine's Day because she knew that I've been wanting it. It now has a permanent place on my bed! Thank you so much, Martie! And thank you to Naomi for the cutest Valentine's Day card!
Don't get me wrong, I love the library, but it's hard to get newly-released books when I want them, which is immediately. I just started using NetGalley and I'm already obsessed. So far I've been approved to read two books and I'm hoping more come my way. Do you use it?
♥ A few fun links:
♥ Gabriele's dedication to learn all the things has inspired me to start CodeAcademy!
♥ How awesome are these perler bead creations by Naomi?
♥ A fascinating post: On becoming a little bit American.
♥ Do Brits like the royal family?
♥ For writers: When you don't feel like writing and When the first book isn't the one.
♥ I like this clean slate post by Martie -- it's real and honest.
♥ How to squeeze more reading into your day.
♥ Kay has started an Artist Interviews series and Maja Wronska's paintings are beautiful!
♥ Life in a YA novel.
♥ Swap friends: You're in Brookelynn, Urban Cashmere, Disowned, Piper & Lilith, Lily and Wes, My Life as a Teacup, Starry Eyes + Coffee Cups, Novelstyle & My Open Sketchbook.
♥ Fashion love: printed dress, scalloped colorblock sweater, polka dot sneakers, peplum cami, elephant tank top, purple skater dress, blue lace romper & Dashshund letter holder.

Love that pillow! And thanks for the shoutout! Super glad people seem to be enjoying the series, as I'm having so much fun with them! Always love spreading awesome art around. :)
ReplyDeleteThat pillow is so adorable! A few blogging friends have suggested that I check out NetGalley but I am so weird about wanting the actual books in my hand. I have no idea why but I just like actual books better. haha! I'm strange
ReplyDeleteAwww thank you for the double shout-out this week! You're the best! :) I really liked the post on becoming a little bit American. I love learning about how people adjust to new cultures.
ReplyDeleteOoo ty your the post plug there! Really appreciate it. Going to a bake off sounds fun! Think i'm off to get cranking on some cross stitch designs i've had in my head for a while!
ReplyDeleteThat pillow is so cute and optimistic!! :)

Thanks! Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! <3
ReplyDeleteI would love to have you on my blog! I can't wait for it to warm up too!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked it! @Charlotte always writes interesting blog posts!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! Oooh cross stitch! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteI was looking forward to it, but it sold out! My friend and I will definitely be going next month!
ReplyDeleteI'll paint a picture: at first I was confused because I was trying to remember if I had bought something, then I opened it and my face took on a look of happy shock, especially when I read the card and saw it was from you, and then there was some jumping up and down in happiness! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a great website! Sadly, the bake-off sold out! But I'll be going next month!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome!! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I didn't know when I signed up that all of the books were sent directly to your Kindle / Kindle app. I would much rather get actual books, but it's still fun getting books that haven't come out yet!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! Love your series!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
ReplyDeleteYay!!! It's a fantastic website! I've already learned so much!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable pillowcase and so sweet that your friend surprised you with it!

Yeah, I may finally have to break down and get a Kindle reader/app because I would definitely love to take advantage of that. It would keep me reading.
ReplyDeleteThat postcard is darling!
ReplyDeleteLove the pillow! And surprise gifts are the very best. I have a pillow on my bed that says "You Are My Sunshine" from Paper Source!
