See it! Want it! Make it! Love it!

The Evolution of a want...

Fell in love with a necklace from Anthropology but my built in "Cheap" gene wouldn't allow me to fork over the $38. SIGH!
Then I get tipped off from a friend that this mama is for sale at Forever 21 for under $7!! My interest is growing and off I go...

The day before the tip off I had already picked up fabric and supplies to make this little gem!!! My version of my Anthro want!!! I loved how it turned out and let's just say it was worth the time it took me to make it when I saved nearly 90%... now that's my kind of result!

Here...

Here's my lovely new piece of artwork! It's totally me! You can't read it but it says under the fish "keep our oceans clean." I love her!

Here's the piece I would buy from Z Galleries if I happened to have a money tree growing out back... it's ginormous at 52x52"


I bought fabric yesterday to try my hand and replicating the flower necklace from Anthropology. I bought 4 different colors and the ribbon all for $6.90. But then, my gal pal, Mahana sent me a link to this necklace from Forever 21...
For less then $7 I could be adorned with this beauty! I'll have to run down to F21 today and check her out! Thanks Mahana!

That's the latest...

Falling in love lately

soooo...

I've been redecorating!!! Gotta love that! Seriously folks... I need change remember!!! I picked up an awesome, totally me, piece of art work last week that I fell in love with the moment I saw it! That's never really happened to me but I'm glad it did because I love how it looks! I did fall in love again today while in Z Gallery but a $500 price tags has a funny way of turning me off!

I'm streamlining over here! Less is more! Less to dust, less to clutter, less to rearrange! Bright bold splashes of color and Big Bold Photography! I'm working on a photo wall with huge pics of the fam! I'll post pics when I'm done but picking the photos I want to print is proving to be the hardest part!

I also fell in love with a necklace I saw in Anthropology today. (internal SIGH!) I could never afford anything in that store but I still allow myself to day dream as I go on a walk about through that beautiful store once in a while!


Here's the necklace! I Heart it very much! I may try to replicate it on the cheap!

I also loved up on some Sushi today with Mike and the girls! I could have eaten way more it was so grub! But talk about a rip off! I noticed two other tables who ordered the same roll as I and their roll was , I kid you not, twice as big as mine! Now I'm not one who usually has "Roll envy" but I'll be honest... I was a little green! What gives Takashi!!!

And lastly I'm totally in love with the beautiful weather we've finally gotten! I was Down Town today, walking the streets and just loving life! A perfect perfect day...minus the midget roll!

Holy crap!!! I died and....

Went to Doughnut Heaven!

There I was...minding my own business driving home from IKEA and singing along to Frente. I see out of the corner of my eye a sign billowing in the wind! I had to squint to read it but I could have sworn I saw the word "Doughnut!"

WHAT!!!!!

A real Doughnut store in Utah!!!! Could it really be!?! A legit, stand alone storefront that sells delish' round treats that beckon me!!!!By George it was!!!

(remember folks... I come from the land of plenty when it comes to Doughnut shops! There are like on every corner in CA.... I've been without or had to pick one up at Walmart for too long!)

Back to the story...

I fliped a "U" and filed the kids out... a propmise of a treat was all it took and they were on board!

Oh how lovely and adorable this new favorite mecca of all things sugary!
*click*Beyond Glaze,*click*
which I first thought was a tile store, is the Cartier of Doughnut shops! Each and ever masterpiece is on display behind a glass case. They tease and temp you with their icing and swirls! For reals!!!! This was a dream come true!

My goals in life have been altered...added to the list and high up there is my goal to
sample each and every flavor... key lime, blueberry, cookies and cream....

So if you by chance live within a 100 mile radius of this store in Draper, Ut, be sure to swing by and bring a bib! Drooling may occure! Lovliness never tasted so good!
