mix and match

Yesterday was the first time I got really excited about clothes in a long time.

Mom and I went shopping yesterday afternoon, and now I have almost all the clothes I'll need for my mission. The shopping itself wasn't all that fun, but afterward when I had all my clothes laid out on my bed and I started putting together different combinations of shirts and skirts (and shoes--should I wear brown, brown, or brown?) Maybe once we have everything together (We're thinking maybe one more skirt, a pair of shoes, and a couple more skarfs--scarves? whatever) we could do, like, a photo shoot with all the different skirt/shirt/scarf/shoes combinations.

I've also been getting interested in (simple!) jewelry, for completing these outfits. I've been looking at etsy for some nice clip-on earrings, so I'll have a few of THOSE to choose from as well. (Clip-ons because I'm really not interested in poking holes in myself, and I don't care that everyone else is doing it.)

i'm typing this one handed because the other arm is occupied holding my nef-ew. (ahahaha, get it?)
see?


as this is rather difficult, i will be done for now.

Art Camp is OVER! ...

... until next week, that is. But it is nice to not have to worry about it for the next couple days because it has been quite the project. I knew beforehand that it was going to be a big projcet, but before I knew and now I know, you know?

Its been a bit more of a project than I was planning on because... I'm an aunt now! Mom went off to be Grandma, so I'm here being mom. Being mom AND art teacher both can be a bit crazy... but I'm still alive ;).
