Sabbatical

This is me right now, flying off a bike surrounded by art supplies. Meaning I am taking a mini-sabbatical from blog posting. If I break this sabbatical it means I have either worked incredibly fast or I am being a bad student. I am not saying that it won't happen, but that is just what it will mean.

Claire her Boyrfriend, and Benny

Clair makes films. Last year she traveled to New Zealand to film a documentary. Clair eats a lot of pickles and sometimes chews with her mouth open - but only when she's alone. Clair has a dog named Yoshi who rides a skateboard! 

Andy is a park ranger in Oregon. 
He protects wildlife and nature on a daily basis. Andy drives a yellow jeep that has no doors, and plays the bongo drum in a band called "Bare Feet". Andy loves Popsicles and thunderstorms. 

I just came across these amazing hand made dolls on Etsy and I am in love!!!

I love the pairing of Claire with her BF in one of the pictures on her listing,  and Benny is red-headed park ranger. Does it get much better?

Check out the rest of Simpli Jessi's lovely dolls.

Lame

I reaaaally don't want to go to class today. But I have done all my homework, and I really should go, so I am.

Boys I love

Where's Waldo?

My friend Chelsea, and my co-creator of the life-size game of Where's Waldo sent me an amazing link the other day. It is a website that has pages from the Waldo books for you to search with a magnifying glass. Loves it.

Sara Fanelli

I have the bestest mommy ever. Saturday night she sent me the link to the new book by Sara Fanelli and says if I like she will get it for me. How sweet! Of course I loved the book and now it is on its way to me.

I had not heard of this lovely illustrator before and now I love her. This book sounds amazing, it is a book full of literary quotes and illustrations done by Fanelli. I cannot wait to peruse it!

Below is a picture of what my mom looks like essentially. I look exactly like my mom, and when I have long hair and I straighten it scares me to look in a mirror because I look so much like her. So this her, with a sad face, because I am not on the West Coast as much I wish that I was. (By the way, we both have chins, but it is hidden in this turtleneck, a favorite of the original Betsy)

Lou Doillon

My friend Julianne lives in Paris and she sent me this text this morning...

"Ahh! As I was walking out of the English bookstore here Lou Doillon walked in with her son!! I can't believe I recognized her."

So of course i felt the urge to google her, and I found this amazing picture and wanted to share it.

Happy Sunday!!!!!!!
