round up: things i'm diggin'

I've been searching around the web for things that really inspire me. From blogs, to items, to people, just searching. I found a few things that really drew me in and caught my eye. Maybe you will enjoy them too.

Flowers A to ZThis is a great little series on the design sponge blog. It makes me love flowers again. I want to go out and make a million bouquets!
Instant LoveThis is an awesome little break down of instant film from the very talented photographer on xo.azuree blog. If you have a Polaroid camera laying around that you want you use, you need to read this.
giddy giddy DIY craft projectsI didn't know one person could be so creative. Terri on Giddy Giddy and a ton of super cute craft projects all up on her blog.
a dog's seeing eye dogThis is an adorable story about a dog that is blind being guided by another dog. Honestly, if more people took some tips from animals it might be a better world.
Merry May Shoppe LaunchI'm so excited for this little shoppe to take it's maiden voyage. I love the idea of a modile shop and in this cute little trailer (a 1961 Shasta Airflyte to be exact) how can you not love it's charm! If you're in Phoenix you should find it. I know I'm going too!

What have you come across lately? Anything of note?

new layout!

While my husband, Marc, was watching football on Sunday, and Aurora was taking a nap I decided it was time to revamp my blog layout. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. I think there's still some fine toning I need to do but I haven't decided on what yet.


I love Shabby Blogs, they have the best free layouts I've found. Their website is really easy to use too.

With the new blog also came a new blog button! Yay! I used pinik.com to edit the image. I thought I needed something to go with my new theme.

Want to make a grabable blog button of your own? Check out Manic Mother's button how-to! It was so helpful! I also checked out Linneyville, which is where I found picnik.com. Some really awesome stuff. Happy editing!

So, what do you think?
