Quality Time with My Roomie

My first week back to college was canceled because we all got snowed in.  So it was nice to finally have some quality cupcake making time with my best friend and roomie Amber.  

She's always very precise: 

dollop, dab, dab, dab, dab, poke, dab, dibble dab.....

I caught her sneaking a taste.

First Day of My Life

When you give someone something, the best part is watching their face. This video captures the expressions and exchanged glances between people who care.

Peek into Narnia

Here's a sneak peek at preparations for Alpha Gamma Delta's Winter in Narnia Social...

Street Art

I never never never see an excuse to NOT try and make every day a little extraordinary.

Surprise people!  Make their day.

These street creatures fit the bill.

Hand Signs

I stumbled across this video and after watching realized that the reason the band seemed so familiar was that I'd seen them in concert this past November.  They opened for Needtobreathe at the Tabernacle in Atlanta and my friends and I really enjoyed them.  It's always a treat when you bump into old memories.

2008 Calendar on the Behance Network

I've been muttering to myself all day about the bitter shift the weather has taken and thought that this calendar hit the nail on the head!  I'll just cozy under the covers and dream about Refreshing which is a mere two months away...

I so dearly wish to sit in the light of these little lovelies, with hundreds of stars resting on my cheeks...

Sculpture Fairies

Pure Americana

The sculpture fairies surprised Brenau students Thursday by dropping off several large, quirky and already controversial sculptures on our campus. I should say "We were all agog."

The sculptures were donated by artist Andrew T. Crawford, who crafted "Violin", a popular piece, for our Burd Center 10 years ago. He has given us three of the sculptures ("Bull", "Battleship", and "Launch") on a one year loan and sold "Pure Americana" (the oil can with wings) at "a very good price" he said, "Because I really feel I am part of the university and I love being involved with the school." Thanking the school he said "That commission ["Violin"] was very important to me. It really launched my career."

Edward Gorey

My Dad commented that a lot of my doodling reminded him of the animation played at the intro of the old PBS Mystery Series.  I looked it up and fell in love with the dark whimsy of Edward Gorey.  Illustrator and short story writer, Gorey had the ability to make the macabre merry.  I'm planning on using my Barnes&Noble Giftcard to purchase his Gashlycrumb Tinies, and other short works.  If you'd like a sweet and sinister giggle, I recommend looking into Edward Gorey.  Here's a video of his Epipleptic Bicycle (I'm not sure whether or not he made up the word "epipleptic.")
