heels over head in too deep

Every time you near me
My heartbeat gets faster
My thoughts starts to wander
I'm headed for disaster

I lose my train of thought
All I can see are your eyes
They twinkle when you smile
Boy, are you in for a surprise.

That my head says something different
Than what my heart really wants to say
When I say "Leave me alone!"
I'm really begging you to stay.

I'm head over heels in love
I'm heels over head in too deep.
You occupy my thoughts all day
And you occupy my dreams when I sleep.

Every time you near me
My heart goes all a-flutter.
I try to think, my head gets jumbled.
I try to speak, but instead I stutter.

Every time you near me
My heartbeat gets faster
My thoughts starts to wander
And I know, I'm heading for disaster.

But I love the feeling
When you look me in the eyes
And you tell me something silly.

I'm not ready for good-byes

wishful wednesday:: hippy bag.

hmm
i am in love with the bohemian look right now.
welll
i have been in love with it for a while,
i am just waiting for my hair to be long enough to pull off
"the fresh off the beach" style
you know, the messy, long waves?
in the meantime,
while i wait for my hair to grow
i am going to be looking for a hippy bag
that will complete
the "look"

favourite friday; pencil skirt

we (mom and i) were coming back from a meeting at one of your local high-school's and we had a couple hours to spare before picking the girls up from school. . .

so when my mom pulled into the parking lot of value village i was pretty excited!

yes my friends, another person's trash (or old clothes) is another person's treasure (or new favourite pencil skirt.)

yes, i bought a pencil skirt. a yellow pencil skirt. for 5 dollars. 

a pencil skirt the colour of a pencil. 

you're probably thinking tacky, right?

wrong.

it's my new favourite summer staple. 

added bonus: it's surprisingly comfy!

make-it monday; cute cards ♥

when my mom called excitedly from the computer to show us three girls something, i wasn't so enthusiastic.

but when i saw these i was pretty darn excited.

who knew cards could be so cute? I just had to try making them.

and this is what i came up with:

isn't she adorable? <3

now i'll show you how to make these, step-by-step (even though it is pretty straightforward!)

firstly, make your card. i use cardstock in a skin-toned colour. pinks, browns, oranges, whites and yellows work - greens and blues do not. trust me.

next, find some nice paper to use for the dress - i have this scrapbook paper left over from when we used to make paper dolls.

i chose this lovely striped one.

cut out your triangle of a dress, and glue it on your card. i have this handy-dandy glue-pen, but a good ol' glue stick will work just fine.

draw your face and arms: then legs. . .  <--- and outline with marker. 

choose your hair colour (i chose pink and orange)

and fashion into your very own style!

now this card is ready to party with all the other cards!

you can try different hairstyles - like bows:

or pigtails: 

or you can even try pipe cleaners for an uber-straight look. 

i like to put stamps on my cards once i'm done, but that's just me:

really, you can do anything you want. =) 

happy creating!

wishful wednesday; oxfords

hmm. . . what am i wishing for today?



any guesses now?

oxfords oxfords oxfords. . . i want them all! they have the versatility of converse and the style of pumps. . . where could you go wrong with these? wear 'em with frilly dresses or patched and torn jeans: it's your call.
