Farmhouse signs

I loveeee farmhouse inspired signs

i just always have.  Maybe it's the country girl in me 

or the growing up around a small town where the signs are authentic....i'm not sure but i am sure that i love them :)  

well after digging around pinterest as usual....I just couldn't take it anymore!!! I needed something in my house and I couldn't get myself to drop $45+ on something through amazons website...but i also didn't want to spend $10+ and get a print....I WANT HANDMADE!!!!  so how does one get handmade without buying handmade.....duhhhhh 

DIY TIME!!!!! 

Inspirations: 

Adventures to Halloweentown

So YES this place is real and it was awesome!!!!

So we drive two hours down to Portland, Oregon to try out Voodoo Donuts

and then headed over to St Helen's to see the Spirit of Halloweentown where the movies were filmed!  Was definitely and awesome day for sure! :)

Driving West...

So I don't have a lot to say really on this post, but we PCS'd to WA from TN

with that came the long drive taking 5 days to get across the country

here are the pictures as we drive along <3

Everyone Meet CJ

So here is CJ (aka Captain Jack) 

this is from the day I picked him out all the way until now

Gosh he's grown so so much

Time flies by too fast

Age 0-5 months

Modeling

So I've recently come across the modeling world up here in Washington!

It all started with someone just needing a fill in and a person I knew called me to get me to tag along!  So I of course joined and boom here I am ...modeling at least once a week now.

these are the only pics I have so far though but I can't wait to see others as they're edited!

Updates....

So for starters my old blog was Love Live Nashville

After much time away from that blog I sort of decided to restart fresh.

That consist of a new name, layout, links, buttons and updates to post.

Oh Savannah...

To my parents ...

So for a lot of people that know me, you know I come from a family whose parents divorced when I was a kid and then later on my father remarried.  And this video I came across on YouTube really really touched home with me.  maybe I'm just all in my feels about stuff because of the holidays but it brought up a lot of things I've never said and I should have already at this point in my life.  So with that said it's time for a vent session on my part.

A Mind That Overthinks....

Outgoing people with anxious minds tend to feel anxiety the most intensely, often because we don’t talk about it. And by “often” I mean never.

Our anxiety is a contrast to our big, bold personalities. Strangers would never guess it. We never know when to fight or flight, and our self-angst is maxed out. We are often the life of the party but can also be mind-numbingly introspective, questioning everything.

Oil Pastels*ugh*

So oil pastels are the absolute worst sometimes.....but I've been working really really REALLY hard to not break every single one of them in half as I'm attempting to improve myself and my art while using them. 

A New Book To Read

So the book is called The Cuckoo's Calling. 

Now it says it's by Robert Galbraith but if you're a reader, or just so happen to know, you would then know this is the pseudonym for J.K. Rowling.  It's also book 1 in a 3 series of stories called the "Cormoran Strike Series".  I do know from reading the inside of the cover and some slight research on the series that Cormoran Strike is the name of the detective in the storyline. 

FAITH

I've been going through quite a lot lately....working, trying to get in SCAD, and so much more.  I was always raised to have God in my daily life but I've slowly veered away from that more and more without even noticing.  With moving to Georgia I've been able to do a lot of soul searching and with that came finding God once again!

Another Adventure

Sooo I'm from Nashville 

Most of you guys should know this

but I'm about to embark on a NEW ADVENTURE

Where to begin

been slacking....

So my birthday was the 30th, and I had a phenomenal time with my CHIVE friends who through me a party!  I had way more to drink then I probably should have, but hey it's my birthday and allowed.  I then went to Texas to see my family for a week....it'd been a year and

YOU...

crazy
smart
funny
perfect
challenging
unpredictable
predictable
you

love,
its falling and fighting
but managing to feel the way you felt when we first touched
love,
is finding all the flaws in one another and accepting them as something beautiful
but it wont be easy
love,
is getting mad. getting angry. and we may even shut one another out at times
but love is knowing that once the storm passes and the skies are clear,
we will see just how amazing and beautiful this all really is
love,
because even flowers cant grow without a little rain every now and then

Doodles....Doodles for dayz!

 

Doodling has sort of taken over my life here recently...not just like drawing in general but mostly typography styled artwork.  After I was chosen at THE ROW to do the chalkboards I realized I really enjoyed that style of artwork, and that I wanted to start getting better at it.
