Alexander Basin

We went up to Alexander Basin on Tuesday for a little birthday hike.
It was AMAZING!

It was probably the hardest hike I've ever done, very good for the glutes :).

Inspiring plants along the way.

We felt like we were in a secret garden.

Thanks Ry for hiking with me!

It's almost my birthday...

We're trying to be thrifty this birthday
(seeing as Ryan bought me an Itouch a few months back),
so theses are my birthday finds.

These two cuties set me back $3.00. That's what I'm talking about.

Mom gave me these, I love how shiny they are.

I WISH! These are a little out of the "thrifty" category.

Ryan is taking the day off tomorrow, yay!

Here we come hiking and dinner!

Fall is in the air.

Love this catalog.

Mmmmmm...

Decorations are up...

Now all I need is a pumpkin and some cider!

One day I might have an office like...

Art Night!

Don't mind the glare, but here is the Arc so far.

I sketched this Indian Paintbrush from our Labor Day Hike.

Next week my sis is joining me for art!

A Happy Room

I love how comfortable and welcoming this room is!

Art tomorrow night, I'll post an updated Arch de Triumph photo!

Hanging in my bathroom...

Art Jounal

I started this journal in high school as a sketchbook.
I has turned into an everything book.
So... here it is, a random compilation of drawings and such.

I love having somewhere to stick designs I like.

Sometimes I draw...

Is this heaven? Oh sorry, I forgot to mention I'm an organization freak:).

My favorite thing is that every time I write on this blog Ryan says,
"this is weird".

Love him.

Decorating

I love dreaming about decorating a home one day.

I am currently in love with these from Restoration Hardware.

The rustic table feels so casual and cozy.

Don't you want to curl up in this chair with a good book.

Happy Wednesday!

Labor Day

We hiked up to Cecret Lake this morning. I really want to paint this flower.

This moose was a little too close for comfort.

The lake was beautiful, what a fun day!

Sunday Afternoons

Sundays usually consist of...

Painting.

Baking delicious zucchini bread.

A nap sneaks in there somewhere.

Happy Sunday!

Currently working on...

Can't wait for Paris in March!
