Peanut buttery cuteness!





















These are adorable, and seem pretty easy to make. I'll have to give this recipe a go the next time I have a hankering for some cookies!

Oh joy, it's June

I've finally started photographing again! Hooray for you all because now (hopefully) I will ramble less and just "show" more. Without further ado, some June happenings in the life of me...

I spent a couple hours mountain biking two weeks ago, and I found "Minne" the Lake Creature. She has her own website! I'm hoping to get back out on my bike again soon, but there's been too much rain lately. 
















I mentioned in my last post that my room was being painted. Behold the transformation!

















Spent a lovely afternoon sipping iced coffee, listening to music, and carefully cleaning my favorite "recreational vehicle"...
















...had the privilege of spending a different afternoon with Millie, a dear friend and ex-roommate visiting from England...
















...and yesterday, the boyfriend and I saw Cirque du Soleil's "Ovo" show! It was INCREDIBLE, even from the "cheap seats" (that weren't actually that cheap)! My sense of wonder has been renewed, and I really appreciate the performing artists that remind us of the beauty in the world and in what human bodies are capable of. *Sigh* For a one-minute glimpse of the show, you can check out the trailer on YouTube. Below is the stage as it was set before the show actually began, in a photo that I suppose I wasn't really supposed to be taking...
















Last, but not least, some greeting cards I made recently. I'm considering starting up an Etsy account to sell my cards online (every little bit of income helps), but waiting to see what happens over the next few weeks in terms of my other jobs and my motivation to continue making cards like this.

Sweet dreams of a perfectly furnished room

My bedroom is getting painted tomorrow!
I'm envisioning a grey and blue color scheme, open to black/white and green accents. I've been looking for some decorating inspiration (thanks, Google images!), and this is one of my favorite images so far.
