One of my very favorite traditions of the holiday season is all the festive baking that takes place! I love to tie on my cutest apron, cover the kitchen in flour, and laugh at my horribly misshapen snowflake and gingerbread men cookies. Oops! hehe What makes it even better is getting to share all your yummy creations with the people you love. With all that said, I'm off to do some more baking now, shortbread and hazlenut cookies, mmm!

. dance like nobody's watching .

Whatever it is that you love to do

Whatever it is that makes your heart happy

and your spirit soar

Whatever it is that makes getting out of bed worth while

 

Do it with your whole heart

Fill your art with everything you are

Practice it for you alone

Don't worry what other eyes would see or other opinions would say

What matters is that you make yourself proud

Love what you do and do what you love

Dance like nobody's watching

. kitchen essentials . Sari-Sari at the Arcade .

It's that time again!

♥

The Arcade Gacha Event is upon us and that means tons of new items to hoard!

...I mean...collect... Yeah, collect!

Sari-Sari must have been reading my mind 

How else would they know that new kitchen items were exaaactly what I needed?!

Reading my mind, stalking me, whatever they did...I really don't mind because from it came their new set for the Arcade

Kitchen Essentials

♥

The Kitchen Essentials set includes 13 commons and 4 rares

Pieces range from one to seven land impact each and are transfer only

One of the rares, the clock scale, is owner functional! Yep, you can set it to tell you the time!

Commons...rares... you guys will want them all!

The piece I'm most excited about is the rare fridge station

It means I finally have a place to toss all my random, mix matched, skipping pens!

...instead of where they usually hang out...

in every drawer of the house and at the bottom of my purse...

Thanks to you Sari-Sari... I'll be a bit more organized

a tad bit more organized...let's not get toooo crazy! lol

The Arcade opens September 1st...That's just a couple days away!

It gives you plenty of time though to make your Arcade wish 

and trust me...

You want this set on your list

You may never find a pen when you need it otherwise...

. just one more chapter .

It's within the pages of books that I've found myself

♥

There's something about the weight of a book in my hands

the smell of the paper

believing that each word on every page was written for the sole purpose of my eyes seeing them

Sometimes those words tell me the most beautiful truths

 other times those words hurt and confuse me

there are times I love where an author takes me

and there are times...well, there are times I want to give an author a piece of my mind! lol

But truth is...

books make me feel something

each one teaching me a little bit more about myself than I knew before turning that first page

There's Got to Be...

I strongly believe that everything happens for a reason. The good, the bad, and all the in betweens. I read a quote recently that's been running itself over and over in my mind; 

"When life is sweet say thank you and celebrate and when life is bitter say thank you

and grow."

♥

My advice to you is

Live each day. Celebrate the beauty of it all. Grow from your trials.

♥

There's got to be a reason that all this has happened.

There's got to be...
