Movie monday!

So today we are FINALLY putting up our Christmas tree, we are finishing and beginning last minute presents, and watching the entire LOTR(Lord of the Rings) set while we do it! Does anyone out there reading this have any favorite movie sets? LOTR is one of our old favorites reserved for days spent in PJs working on projects and making magic in the kitchen, its a beautifully done set of movies with fantastic actors, I personally was only ever able to make it through reading The Hobbit, the rest I never did though I do own them, I expect myself to actually do it someday, how about you?

Inspirational pictures!

These are photos I've had floating around on my laptop, I don't remember where I got them all and I'd gladly give credit to whomever they belong to but these are just pictures I loved that make me feel like doing things! (MOST come from Deviantart.com its one of my favorite places to browse in my spare time!)

This one I happen to know came from Alicechan she is VERY skilled, click on her name if you want to see more of her work! This makes me want to pick up a paint brush and just dive in, which is something I've not done in a VERY long time but fully intend to do in my painting class this upcoming spring term.

No idea where this one came from, I think it was a rather recent post from someone's blog I read that they loved too, I looooove the color of the walls, they make me long to paint mine finally, but I also love the branches they've got with the lights hanging from them, I have rope lights in a spiral on my ceiling above my bed, but they don't look half as cool as these do!

Both of these cupcake pictures inspire my baking love, I would love to get into the fondant decorating as intense as the top picture of the nautical themed cupcakes, and then this sweet cute one below it makes me want those cupcake papers and little heart shaped sprinkles which I'm a little shocked I don't already have!

OMG I love owls and then this tattoo pops up on deviant art and just makes me LONG for it for myself, I love the whimsical feel of the way the artist did the night sky with the moon and stars and wispy swirls not to mention the beauty of the owl itself, I've been waiting quite impatiently for my grandma to finish drawing up the traditional and wild rose combo that I'm going to get right about where the moon is on this guy, and my mama finally convinced her that I was either getting the roses done or Fluffy's portrait so she'd better hurry up on my roses which she's been putting off in hopes of my not getting them, so (excitement of excitements!) she's got the sketch mostly done, now she's just tweaking it around! This owl can be found on seanspoison

And this picture, holy mother of pearl, the front center dress is my dream dress, I want it bad, its beautiful and whimsical, and looks fae to me, LOVE LOVE LOVE. Now, if only I could find a groom!

Photo Dump!

 My Thanksgiving picture!

 Just felt pretty about a week ago?

  One of my favorite childhood books!

Towards end of summer my best friend Katie and I went to the lake after we painted her room!

Funny Friday! (I'll rename this soon)

Personally I know a lot of people think she's super mean, but I have a friend who posted this and she is totally going to be this mom someday, she told him nicely and its not like she hit the kid, so really, it was not that bad.


and then I'm a big True Blood fan and it just tickles my funny bone when Sookie imitates Bill saying her name at the end of this.

I love playing the question game...

 I love playing the question game, I was browsing blogs and facebook and what not and came across the following questions so I thought they'd be fun to answer and maybe someone out there reading this will answer them too! Leave me a comment if you do want to!

The questions:


1. Thing you cannot leave the house without?
2. Favorite brand of makeup?
3. Favorite flower?
4. Favorite clothing store?
5. Favorite perfume ?
6. Heels or flats?
7. Do you make good grades?
8. Favorite colors?
9. Do you drink energy drinks?
10. Do you drink juice?
11. Do you like swimming?
12. Do you eat fries with a fork?
13. Favorite moisturizer?
14. Do you want to get married later on in life?
15. Do you get mad easily?
16. Are you into ghost hunting?
17. Any phobias?
18. Do you bite your nails?
19. Have you ever had a near death experience?
20. Do you drink coffee?

My answers:
1. My rings! I feel naked without them.
2. I'd say covergirl, but it depends on the product, I vary a lot.
3. Sunflowers and oriental poppies! They're beautiful and wild looking ^-^
4. I'm torn between H&M and Charlotte Russe personally
5.My current perfume is Love and Luck by Ed Hardy but I've been wanting to try a new scent, any suggestions?
6. Flats because they're adorable and all purpose plus I'm a clutz
7. I make pretty good grades, mainly Bs
8. Hot pink, any shade of red, golden sun yellow, royal purple, turquoise, royal/ocean blue, rich rich blue green, I LOVE COLOR.
9. I do, but rarely, and only ice cold Monsters
10. LOVE juice, all kinds, apple, pomegranate, peach cranberry, orange, all kinds!
11. Yes and no, I have a fear of drowning and my weak swimmer's skills keep me from being heavily into it, but I do love the look the sound and feel of being in water, its so soothing.
12. No fork, I am verrrry much a hand person, I want to get right into everything hands on including my food.
13. I use Olay's light moisturizer with sunscreen for my face everyday, but I use Bath and body Works' signature collection Secret Wonderland for my body, I love it, it works and it smells amazing!
14. I can't wait to find someone to love who will love me and marry me, I very much so want it, I love Kaelah Bee's wedding Wednesday posts, they inspire me, I'm finally becoming the kind of girl who has an idea of what I want, I never planned my wedding when I was a kid, I was all about being mama, I know I'll be a mama someday even if I never find the one and marry.
15. Nope, I'm a pretty cheerful kinda gal, but that doesn't mean I never get mad, it just means it takes more than something itty bitty.
16. Nope, I'm a faerie girl, not so much on the ghosts.
17. Not sure, I hate bugs, and small enclosed spaces.
18. I do NOT bite my nails, in fact my thing is making sure my nails are perfect, when they chip or break I have to fix it asap, it bothers me intensely.
19. No, not that I'm aware of.
20. I do, I love coffee hottttt first thing in the morning, it cleans out my mouth and throat. but I just don't like cold coffee at all, when mine starts cooling off I heat it up again.

Thoughtful Thursday

I love Penelope Garcia from Criminal Minds, she's one of the most amazing characters ever, she is adorable, brave, big hearted, and super cool in general, plus she's got really fun style while being a beautiful curvy woman. I just read someone's post on imdb about her being an unrealistic NCIS's Abby wannabe, personally I am a little bit offended, Penelope is a much more realistic character, while I love Abby too she plays loud music, she dresses super dark and dramatic, she constantly needs caffeine,  and she's got a serious attitude, sweet funny, but not professional, point being, Abby is no more realistic than Penelope, when it comes down to it she's less realistic, Penelope is just a little quirky and super sweet with super skill, in NCIS Abby's job could be done by any number of science smart people who dress and act much more appropriate even if they'd be boring, Penelope and Abby were not hired  for a professionally visual position so what they wear shouldn't matter, their capabilities and sweet fun personalities add a comic relief that I find fun and which I can identify with and I know a lot of other people who love them just as much and identify with them just as much.

If anyone reads this and disagrees I'd rather not receive your opinion if you can't be civil or mature about it and I will not respond to anything you say, I'll just delete it, I posted my opinion here because I wanted to share my frustration without feeding into the negativity of that other person's unnecessary post, and because she inspires me, if you don't like it then I'm sorry but that's on you.

Wishful Wednesday!

Hey, sorry this is late but yesterday was my mama's birthday lunch and so we went out and had lunch with her and her mama, and then my best friend and I took her to get coffee and then to see Harry Potter 7! It was amazingly done but I was super mad about them cutting it off where they did, because I NEED to see the rest, I have to admit while it was clever of them to spread it out as far as the profit they really could have just made it a five hour movie and I'd have been perfectly happy, I'd have made it through the whole thing. Then when I went to take Katie my best friend home because she had work this morning I made it halfway there and had to pull over to throw up heavily in the bushes at AmPm, I don't know why either but it was horrible so I now have little red spots around my upper eyelid/brow arch from all my little broken capillaries which is no fun so suffice it to say Katie drove me home and spent the night because everyone else was asleep and I never got the chance to get to this.

And that's all for now, dad should be back with the pizza soon and after that will be presents and cake!!! (I got her Eat, Pray, Love. which she loved when I took her to see it in theater! and I bought her a mint chip ice cream cake!)

I love my family/ musical tuesday

So I'm very much so feeling the need to feel as though there is magic in this world, that faeries are real, though we might not see them, they are always around us in all of the things that we do and places that we go, I know a lot of people find it silly but I find it comforting, I love them. I have been playing with my faerie oracle this morning and talking with my mother, I think The Bright Mother is very much her card, my mama is a very nurturing and loving woman, she has always been there when I need her most even when I don't know I need what she gives me. I find also that my Grandma is very much the Faerie Godmother, she gives so much and she's been my second mama, she's beautiful and creative and graceful and very traditional while loving a good party, my grandma is SO cute when she gets rose cheeks from drinking too much wine, and she's funny =).
I feel that my amazing brother is probably the "O, that gnome" He is such a fantastic creative chaotic brother, but he's also sort of selfish which I guess should be expected from a 16 year old, I think my mom made a relevant point, while I have always been told I am an old soul we see him as a very young soul, who while I wouldn't call brand spanking baby new has not yet learned who to trust and who to distrust, he's an amazingly creative guy, I foresee him doing something amazing, he's so talented, he builds things all the time and writes really amazing stories for his age, but he doesn't trust our parents or anyone else except me and possibly one or two of his friends which I know really hurts our parents' feelings and makes me sad for him and them both. Anyways and then there is my daddy, we decided that while he could fit with quite a few of the faeries the best one for him was definitely The Master Maker, who is this adorable chubby little guy who is amazingly skilled, inventive, and is known for his craftsmanship, my daddy is all of the above, his hobby is creating custom figures and he's fantastic at it, but he's also a very fantastical history buff who is coincidentally also a really old soul, like super old soul, he is very set in his ways and very moral, and very faithful both to God and to my Mama, we love him lots.

Nothing can be truer than fairy wisdom.  It is as true as sunbeams.  ~Douglas Jerrold

The wall is silence, the grass is sleep,
Tall trees of peace their vigil keep,
And the Fairy of Dreams with moth-wings furled
Plays soft on her flute to the drowsy world.
~Ida Rentoul Outhwaite

SO anyways onto the music, I'm gracing you with Lily's song from the movie Legend because I absolutely love it and I think everyone should see it at least once.

New beginning/ MOVIE MONDAY

ONCE AGAIN, I am trying to find a way to keep this going because for some reason I feel the need to do this but I haven't been able to be consistent, I have decided to set up goals for myself. I think I'm going to steal an idea from some of the blogs I've read and do specific things, like pick up my musical Tuesday again, soooo maybe a movie Monday, a wishing Wednesday, thoughtful/reflective Thursday, something funny Friday, free Saturday so anything I want, and maybe a photo dump Sunday. I'm going to have to write this down somewhere like a reminder to motivate myself, I need to have something consistent in my life. SO since it is monday, I'd like to start tonight even though technically it could be considered Tuesday because of the late hour.

So I don't know who's heard about The Tempest 2010 coming out as a movie redone by the same woman who did Across the Universe, Julie Taymor, they released some very promising trailers and it has a great cast, the release date was December 10th, SO in excitement my best friend Katie and I thought we would go see it last night, but low and behold when we looked up times for it it wasn't even playing anywhere in CA, I live in Citrus Heights California and just assumed it would be released in theaters nearby, APPARENTLY it was only released to FIVE total theaters in the entire united states, on December 17th it will be released to 15 more for a grand total of 20 theaters in the entire 50 states. Not even half. Or at least that was the only answer I found via a yahoo question someone else was asking.


SO while I sincerely wanted to see that movie with her we instead went to see the Chronicles of Narnia Voyage of the Dawntreader, which was of course beautiful, I admit I missed Peter and Susan but I do acknowledge that they couldn't be there, they'd already had their last trip, but Prince Caspian was looking gorgeous as ever and Edmund and Lucy have certainly grown up, I am a HUGE Narnia fan, I admit to only recently buying the books, however I grew up on the movies done by BBC, fantastic and cheesy and beautiful.
