Little children and their art.

The 2 little kids I babysit:

the mysterious case of the $5.25 I found in my purse. (and a collage.)

Here's me latest collage.  I've had a bit of a brain fart lately regarding art--I can't seem to draw anything, and my collages are lame.  

And I have a mystery that needs solving:

I randomly found $5.25 in my purse yesterday after church, asked if it was anybodies, and since  it was nobodies, I kept it.  Well, today, I unfolded it, and written on the $5,  was:  "for hannah".

I know 2 people whose handwriting it looks like, and I aim to ask them about it.  I haven't worked for anybody, so it couldn't be pay, and nobody owes me any money!!  Hmmm...But,

I'm glad for the extra money!!  (My babysitting job has been canceled for the last 4 weeks, for various reasons, so that's all that money gone.) 

Anywho.  Enough rambling for today.

My shopping list is growing ever bigger, and my wallet ever smaller. >.<

I need:

Rain boots--preferably with a floral pattern, so I can wear them with skirts.

A bike. I miss riding one.

A film camera.

A nikon...I want a D3000, but I might end up getting a D90.

A laptop--it HAS to be a Mac. No other will do.

These anthropologie dresses:

Not a shopping list, but still needs money to accomplish:

A trip to Europe. (Although I need a passport first.)

A road trip with my older siblings.

Camp was fun.  I met some new people, played some awesome music, and went swimming.  Not much else to write. 

This is what I wore today.

My goodwill finds. (above)


I leave tomorrow for orchestra camp. Should be fun. I'll be gone all week.

I've recently become addicted to driving.  I'm still a bit wary of backing up, but I love driving now.  *sarcastically*  I've only had my learners 6 months--you'd think I'd know how to drive by now!
I went to the second hand store today, and found some AMAZING things.  I got 2 pairs of shorts (high-waisted), a skirt, a lace blouse, and at least 3 yards of fabric for $4.50.  A good bargain, I'd say. 
What I wore today: 




All clothing from goodwill.

and every breath we drew was hallelujah

No mindless musings today.  Just photos:


Top: older sister
Shorts: handmade cutoffs
tie: old head scarf
Sweater: goodwill

And so it ends

I was at camp this  past week.  It was quite lovely, and I made many new friends.  I promised myself I would cry when we all had to say good bye, but, well--so much for that promise.  I balled my head off.  
The food there was bad, (you could literally slap the pancakes on the table and they would not brake.)  the acoustics in the shower AMAZING--I enjoyed them very much.  I was up 18 hours 
every day, and would get 6 hours of sleep each night.  And for most of those hours, I was listening to awesome lectures.  (I'm not being sarcastic.) But it was all worth it.  I'd say I'm having withdrawals.   I look forward to next year. 


I went and played pool with a few friends--for the first time.  Then I bought a giant bottle of bubbles, and I'd say I'd be SUPER happy right now, if I didn't miss my friends so much.
