top o' the morning to ya.

(sounded pretty Irish didn't it?!)

i thought so..

I told yall i was going to be a better blogger!

but yall have to promise to be patient with me

&& leave LOTS of comments :)

(& for those of you who can't leave comments,

i.e. my aunts- i'll forgive you.)

Just time for a few short pictures today,

time to get ready for work.

i adore this collage..
i think i've got the perrrrfect place for this!

love the bottles here,
Gabe will tell you- i NEVER throw a bottle out
(so i've got the perfect collection)

a bird cage filled w books + vintage tags
= perfect combo.

seriously OBSESSED with rod & decorations hanging.
so simple + perfect.

So that's what I've got for you today.

Maybe tomorrow i'll post some pics of a few apartment crafts.

Catch yall on the flipside.

i'm finally back.

I'm making a slightly irrational decision, but never the less, a FIRM decision, i.am.back.

i've got to start sooner or later & i'm thinking sooner is better.
i've been going crazy with crafts for the new apartment,
so i need a place to show them off!

I told myself, for year 23- i'm going to live with intention.

year 22 was interesting, full of ups&downs, i found myself sick- a lot.

i've decided that 23 will be different.

i'm giving 100% this year towards being happy, healthy & committed

(in all aspects of life)

perfectly fitting for this post.



So that's that, bloggers.
Love you guys

have a great night.

cha-ching.

It's been awhile since I've posted & all with VERY good reason.
Gabe & I ended up staying in Lakeland, but moving to a different apartment!

It's a much bigger apartment, but it's a little bit older-

over all, I like it very much.

There are some iffy things, like no pantry, older appliances & random lighting fixtures,
however it's much more spacious, we've got PLENTY of room for my crafting
& we're saving $130 a month on rent.

The apartment is still in boxes & things aren't quite where I want them to be yet.
BUT, I've taken on a new hobby..
