this is to all my buddies who wanted to feed the homeless...

maybe we should stop waiting for organizing to happen, or just the right day, or a cleared area on our schedules. maybe we should just do. and experience. and give.

just a thought.

and im inspired by these two.

okay. lets just say that summer is here.

and, i am excited for:

a.art auction!

b.chior tour is back 2010!



just to name two but.... what are you excited for?? :)

craftiness.

so, basically i really miss hanging out with all of you guys. so i say that we make it a priority this summer to have craft/art night once a month beginning in june.

we can paint, we can cook gluten free goodness, we can draw, we can sew, we can read cute books while drinking tea, we can make little trinkets and jewelry. what do you say?!

from a while back.

the collage heather, lindsay, josh, elsbeth, and i forget who else(so let me know who i forgot), and i made for Easter sunday at church. 

i love this pic....

but what was with the one, two, three again? i cant remember...

or, maybe... it was "no,no,no" , "peace" , and "west side" ? :P

p.s. my tummy just made the wierdest noise..haha

here's to looking at you kid.

hey heather....what about this guy...? : ) one that will dance with you in your white flowy dress?

: ) i saw this and instantly thought .... "heather!"

so good.

this makes me extremely happy. i want my life to be like this video.

oh fail.

if anyone saw that last post, it was meant for my personal blog and that's why it's gone now. haha, sorry!

i saw this and thought of you,

heather...

its about time...

wanted.

parallel parking coach needed to instruct two beautiful girls.

must know how to park parallel-ly.

lessons can begin immediately.

bonus points if cute and charming.

contact annemarie or tess for more information.

thanks.

anonymous.

i'm just saying i'm really stoked on the youth show this year. i cannot wait to see everything put together....God willing it all gets put together. :). kidding. it will. it always does.

what do you guys think of it so far?

ok guys.

i know i've been a slacker with blogs recently. so soon. very soon. so now. i will pick up the pace. feel free to hold me accountable.

remember that horrid dress from target?

well... i guess somebody actually liked it.... ?

idea check.

soooo... i have an idea, but i wanna get some feedback/suggestions/questions/comments on it before i do it.

PLEASE share what you think.

idea:

so, you may have heard me say that id really like to start some sort of ongoing across the country project {small, nothing big and crazy}. but i just want it to be all over the place, not just here in my small little circle of friends. anyway... i was thinking about pennies, and how they are so fascinating even though they are worth barely anything. "find a penny pick it up", etc. and i thought it would be really cool to mail one to someone, in a little envelope, with a little note that instructs them to take my penny, and leave it somewhere where somebody else can find it. and then take a penny that they have, and stick it back in the envelope, and pass the letter on to another person. this person will do the same thing.

and, i would put my email address in the envelope as well and have a blog, to document where people put the pennies...

follow? whatcha thinkin?

a prayer...

dear jesus. i would much appreciate it if you could do that healing thing for heather. her tummy's been hurting, and, as you may know, that might just be the worst kinda pain there is. so, please, make her better! aaamen.

traveling sketch book

tess, i thought of you right when i saw this:

www.lookatbook.com

pretty awesome idea, huh?

......................................................................

these are the kind of girls who hang dream catchers above their beds, who eat pomegranates and read old history books for fun. these are the kind of girls who take pictures of their hands with disposable cameras and wallpaper their bathrooms with pretty roses. these girls sketch eyes and mouths and little drawings all over things, they look you right in the eye and almost through you when you speak to them.

you guys.

i just had a dream. while i was sleeping. and i was in urban outfitters. and there were so many great clothes. and now i just wish i had some money to go buy a crapload of fabric and make those clothes....but i don't. :/.

four you:

i thought of all my lovely artsy friends and my bloggins friends when i saw this. im gonna have to make myself one of these!

love, kelly.

ways to distract yourself from writing a paper...

one. stalk every person you know on facebook.

two. facebook chat someone.

three. then check your twitter.

four. post something on twitter.

five. read every new blogpost on your google reader.

six. take pictures.

seven. google random crap.

eight. eat some sunflower butter.

nine. do some online window shopping.

ten. finally blog about all you did except your paper.

the end....meh.

p dot s dot.

i have an idea for a photo for our bannahhhhhh.

this "inspired" me. ;).

(the source.)

so. i saw this image and it instantly gave me two thoughts. 

one. i need white flats for spring...let me know if you see any for somewhat cheap!

and two. i think that every week when i go to the grocery with ames i'm gonna by myself flowers to put in my room. (lame i know but i want flowers!) tulips are my favorite right now. :).

what are some things you guys want for the spring?

suit up!

so... zooey totally is the cutest girl on the beach.

and after all our bathing suit convos yesterday, i decided to do a little research. how do you like this one from urban heather and kelly?

road trip!!!

with all of this beautiful weather coming our way, i am feeling a road trip. with the windows down, music blaring, sunglasses on, and no destination in mind. we just go. i think april is the perfect month for this.

shall we?

birthday wishes!

hey kelly! it's your day!

i love you, and i cannot wait to celebrate your birthday with you! :)

all the love in the world, have a wonderful morning!

{love. tess}

our mission for tomorrow:

...get a picture of the four of us for this blog.
~love, kelly.

a softer world..

my favorites from asofterworld....click to view larger :)

check it out!

guys. head over to smile and wave and look closely. :).

photos!

until we get pictures of the four of us, here are some single ones. enjoy!

p.s. i felt like you all were my kids and i was writing up something to be read for the stars crowning. i literally could hear mrs. lewis saying each on of these descriptions. haha!


this is tess, our little ginger. tess loves blueberry miniwheats and could live off of them for the rest of her life. she loves to craft, but she is also draws and paints. tess is very spontaneous and only likes to plan for parties. but i must say, she is one super party planner. tess's contagious laugh and beautiful smile lights up a room in seconds.
this is kelly. she is super pretty. she loves to make lots of little creations and loves playing on playgrounds. she is a dancer. kelly likes to tell it how it is. but in kind and loving ways. kelly loves U'krops tomato soup, or at least what used to be "U'krops" tomato soup, and blenheim's ginger ale.

this is annemarie. she is crazy fun. she likes to go on walks and bake yummy healthy foods. her favorite cereal is Trader Joe's O's. she calls them her crack. annemarie hates reading books that are boring. she babysits, what seems to be, 24/7. and she listens to some pretty rad music. and she's a smarty pants. :p. (added by annemarie.)

this is what one may call a heather tobey. one can rarely be found deep within the amazon jungle. ok just joshing. heather enjoys all things cozy and long walks on the beach (for real). and she really really loves books. and tranquility. and um. cooking. and. the beach. and all things lovely!. she is really mighty sweet. :). and we love her dearly always and forever. and her favorite food is uhhh not avocados.

a little bit about us...

so i was thinking about the four of us last night, and i realized a funny little coincident:
annemarie: is a fall baby. she uses a lot of gorgeous earthy, fall colors in her style.
kelly: i am a winter baby. and i tend to dress in a lot of grays, blues, and deep reds.
tess: is a spring baby. her style is colorful and cute, like a flower.
heather: is {almost} a summer baby. her style is breezy and pretty, like a day at a park or the beach.

you guys...

we don't have a picture with just the four of us in it. we should change that.

don't worry everyone else. we'll have some good photos up soon. i'll make sure. ;).

to the overscheduled.

.....

waste time. it makes magic happen. :)

a patchwork blog.

well, i have to say that i am just so excited about this. and for my first post, i thought i would share a metaphor that i dreamed up: a patchwork quilt is made from many very different scraps of fabric, each quite beautiful individually, but together as a whole they complement each other wonderfully. this is going to be such a nifty patchwork blog, because we are all so wonderfully individual, but we complement each other so much too!
love, kelly.

let's get it started...

okay so im pretty excited about this... :)

post whatever whenever, and change any of the settings/headers/ sidethings. add what you want... lets make this awesome!

p.s. this includes the title header thingy... i just kinda put it up there so there was at least something :)
