Toilet Paper Holders

After seeing this idea on Pinterest, I decided to make some of my own. I love them, they turned out great.

Phase 2

As part of my "more Gina-like hair plan", I have now entered phase 2 of this process:


More pink, and more intense color.

I actually like the lighter pink color more, but it ended up fading too quickly, so I started out with more intense color this time by leaving it in longer and not mixing it with conditioner. This round it doesn't seem to be fading at all though. (I have been using Splat hair dye in Pink Fetish). It works really well and produces very hot pink results.



I recently got my new 50mm lens (AND I LOVE IT).


Cody helped me test it out. This is what happens when I tell Cody to open his eyes more:

This is what happens when a man loves his chihuahua:

(awwwwwww!) You can't see it but Lulu is wagging her tail in excitement at this moment.

This is what happens when Cody is being unsupervised and gets a hold of the camera:


Thanks babe!

Around the house in May...

My house went from winter to summer pretty fast. I mean, the little houses in my front room still had snow on the roofs until 2 weeks ago. I just don't have as much motivation to decorate for summer. Fall and winter seasons are easy. Summer? Not so much. But I try.

Little garden inspired items adorn the shelves.

And the chalk board deer grew leaves on his antlers.

My Birthday is this weekend. I believe Cody and I are going camping to celebrate. This is the last week I will ever be 23. This always makes me sad. But age is just a number, right? I know 24 isn't old. 23 just sounds cuter than 24. That's all.

Lots going on this time of year. Birthday, then some lovely family is coming to visit (so excited!), and then our anniversary. I'm really struggling with what to get the husband for our anniversary. I have been doing the traditional gift list theme for the past 3 years. It has really challenged me to be creative and try to get something that will last for a long time. But this year the gift is supposed to be made of silk/linen and I am stumped. Any ideas?

Aah! Zombies!

The Hill Family also decided that it would really just be best to do some non-traditional photos as well. And then... this happened:

Just taking some nice photos on a regular day...

Yep, just a normal, average day... wait...




Oh no! What's that?!




Look out behind you!





Quick! Grab that shovel that just happens to be nearby!




Run away! Run away!




These zombies are looking for braaaaains!







Run into that house!




Aah! They are coming through the windows!




Hurry and hide!






They found you!




Run to the car!









Phew!




That was a close one!




Nooooo!

Hill Family Photos

This weekend was a very photo-y weekend. My friend from work asked me to take her family photos. Aren't they a cute bunch?

 

 

Moxie Owl

Hello,

Moxieowl.com is now officially offline :( We are now operating solely from our Etsy store. I just wanted to remind anyone who would like to help a sister out and link to our store that the old buttons need to be replaced with one of the new buttons below. We need all the help we can get to keep our little business going. Seriously, any traffic we can get to the store is greatly appreciated.

                                                             
                      

Whats your Dream?

A few months ago some little signs appeared in each bathroom stall at my work that read:

 

The point of this was to get us thinking about our life goals. I usually ended up thinking "My dream is to use the restroom in peace without getting all deep and profound and stuff." But that's just me.

Yesterday I realized that the signs have been there for so long that I don't notice them anymore for their true meaning. They were becoming part of the door. I decided to switch things up with some new questions.

First there's:

Then of course:

  

 Also:

 And finally...

 

It definitely spices things up a bit in the bathroom. Do you think anyone will notice?
