a little birdie decided to make a nest at our house...

on our front door wreath!

it was hardly noticeable until the momma got really made when you opened the door

it was also really hard to take pictures of the pretty little legs because it was up so high

i saw the moment when all the birds flew away from the nest..i may or may not have scared them (they scared me too) ... they were rather big so i bet they are gone for good now.

(wreath made by my mom)

i've wanted to read this book for a long time

it looked so good & i wanted to see the movie

(yes i judge which books i read on their covers- this one has an excellent cover)

but i knew i had to read the boo before i could see the movie

(books are ALWAYS better..by far)
i don't like purchasing books because i hate to read the same story twice...

overall it was a little disappointing but it was still a pretty good story

kind of confusing at times - lots of jumping back and forth

i was left wishing certain parts were clearer

i just thought i'd love the book but didn't

i am excited to see the movie now though

perhaps it was clear some things up for me

(although i have heard bad reviews)

it's no secret that i don't love animals.

i do however like elephants & lady bugs (giraffes are okay too).

so i am dying over this adorable elephant pin cushion pattern by heather bailey

his name is ollie, i love him already.

if you don't know heather, you should.

she's kind of like a goddess in the sewing world.

her blog found here is always full of great crafty ideas.

this is not the only must have pin cushion (there's also a turtle that's calling my name)

check out her shop here!

{welcome}

say hello to my new car

so excited about this little guy

name is yet to be decided

sad to see 'cooper the trooper' go but it was time...

spring break has come & gone

spring break has to come to an end eventually unfortunately...
even though i didn't go anywhere fabulous, it will still a good time.

here's a recap of the week:

long lost best friend allison came to visit.
dinner with a boy.
bike rides in nice warm weather.
a little bit of working.
a lot of card making & scrapbooking.
a little bit of blog re-designing...check out the new "pages" at the top. pretty cool.
re-arranging my room (these are the things i think about when I can't sleep at night)
some shopping.
a trip to indy to the art museum.
meeting Gary & Leah from mtv's "teen mom" and me saying to him "hey, you're on tv"
some yummy cheesecake.

the good news is, school always seems to faster after spring break is over.
warmer weather, and i think the population of purdue triples when the weather is nice.
i like it better when more people are out, the energy is infectious.

happy spring.
