wishlist.

I’m not really a person that buys a lot of stuff. If I do get a few extra dollars I usually spend it on crafty supplies or taking my daughter to lunch. Sometimes I really want to splurge on myself though! There are so many amazing things out there that I’ve had my eye on and dreamed of longingly.

This lovely little camera necklace from afterninetofive I think is going to be my celebration present for when I make my first Etsy sale. I have to reward myself for a job well done right? ^_~


I have had my eye on this Hanson shirt since I saw it at the last concert I went too. If you didn’t know Taylor is a pretty darn good photographer, hence the camera. Not to mention it’s my favorite color!

I’ve been attempting and failing to play the guitar for years now. I thought maybe starting out smaller would be easier. I think playing the ukulele would be awesome! It’s travel size and I could bring it anywhere with me!

One of Jo Totes camera bags? Hm, YES! and PLEASE!!!

Since I bought my first vintage camera I’ve been wanting to get my hands on an instant Polaroid one. I love everything about Polaroid’s! I wouldn’t even care if it was a really ugly camera, as long as it still worked!

The last thing on my list has been on my mind for some time. I’ve been dabbling in Digital Painting for a little while and well, I’m horrible at it, but I love to do it. I would love, love, love A Bamboo pad! I think this would make doodling so much fun and easy! I have so many ideas for digital illustrations in my sketchbook just waiting to get on my computer screen.

That’s about it. If I ever stop spending my money and save it maybe I’ll fulfill my wish list. Yeah, maybe someday!

What’s on your wish list?

non-polaroid polaroid.

I love a good Polaroid photo. They are so fun and quirky. I love when they have discolorations and maybe you’re not even sure what the picture is of, it’s like a game! Recently I’ve been very into the idea of using the outline of a Polaroid for the frame of an illustration. You may have noticed that from the attempt at a Valentine’s Day card and my List Book. I’m really inspired by so many artists on Etsy who really took that idea and ran with it. I think it gives a simple image so much character!

What's your favorite non-Polaroid Polaroid?

wanna be...

There's no hiding the fact that I love Polaroid cameras and vintage photography. I just can't help myself. I really wish I had a Polaroid and some day I'm sure I'll get one. For now thought I have my wonderful Android phone with this great application on it. I can't help but be obsessed with my FX Camera! I mostly use the toy camera and Polaroid options. Here are some of my favorite photo's I've taken with the Polaroid feature.

wanna be Polaroids

Sometimes when you don't have exactly what you 'want' you gotta get creative. Maybe they're not real Polaroids but it's fun to play with for now.

Happy Trails!
