Dreaming of Bedtime

Amazing Bedrooms for Amazing Dreams

I would stay in bed all day if I had any one of these wonderful bedrooms to sleep in.  

Just imagine the amazing dreams you might have...

or the potential for snuggling...

Makes me want to dive right into the sheets.

Sweet Dreams and Good Night 

Just waiting for sleepy time

In the midst of finals and preparing for my trip to Asia....

I'm running ragged.  So much to do, so little time. 

Definitely not enough time to sleep.  

Decisions, Decisions

Do you ever feel this way?  I know I do everyday.

 Wisdom by  Matthew Kimberley

A very wise friend of mine gave me some great words of advice yesterday.  He said to me, 

"Relax." 

This statement, as simple a message it is, is complex in meaning.  I've realized that it's important to keep all the little things in perspective.  Ask yourself, Is this really worth stressing over?  Does this even matter?  Will this matter in a month? A year? 5 years?  So don't forget to breathe and keep in mind what's truly important in life.

So many Things to do

Sahlia Michelle: Jewelry for the Urban Explorer

I recently discovered this wonderful Portland artist while cruising the web one day and I immediately fell in love with her designs.  Each piece is designed and handmade in her Portland studio. 

She uses semi-precious gemstones, hand-pounded sterling silver and her signature recycled molten silver droplets in many of her designs.  She is also a fan of using organic materials such as reclaimed leather, and feathers.  

Her jewelry is no unique, I just love it!  Not to mention, she also happens to be a total babe!  Here is just a tease of the beautiful work she has created:

Meet Cricket

This is Cricket, my perfect little kitty. She keeps me sane when I'm alone and in need of a companion.  She's very protective of the things she loves (one more reason to love her). I once watched her growl for an hour at a tree trimmer cutting branches on her favorite tree...Do you have any pet stories to share?
