30 before 30 list

This is my 30 before 30 list. I felt I had to complete it because I had an epiphany today, I’m F-ing 29! WTF when did this happen? LOL!
This is my last year in my twenties. I know its not the end of the word, but I want to end my twenties with a bang! I know I have a 2011 list, but this list develops my “2011” list a little further and has plenty of details.
So here is the list, lets see how many I can actually cross off at this time next year.

Some Photos

Its been a rough week and I have yet to catch up on work/blog/craft/life  so here are a few of my pictures.

Our playground at my school

Kids having fun

I really love this one

Some little ones waiting patiently to play hockey.

The scariest cute thing I have ever seen. Who would want this on Valentines Day?

A love note out on the playground. 

Honk!

Last Weekend as a 28 Year Old. Gulp!

Today started off really well.  I went to sleep after 1 or so and I still woke up at 8am.  I stayed in bed, but I was able to get some web things done, it was really nice.

After waking up and cleaning up a little I went to Denios, a flea market in Roseville, with my friends Courtney.  We had a good time, I found a really cute owl figurine to add to my collection and also bought some yummy fresh veggies. I love Denios, its so kitschy and fun.  I always find the best things there and always enjoy the sun and people watching when I go.

Now I sit here thinking of what to cook for dinner.  I think Mr. J and I will take a little midtown field trip and check out a few good movies.  I really want to go watch these movies, but then I feel my art studio calling my name.  I really want to organize my room, I can't work in there and I think once I get it done (yet again) I will be in there more often.

I have been wanting to see Blue Valentine, and after reading a little about it I am really excited to see it.



So far this weekend has had a great start, I am enjoying myself, lets see what the rest of my 28th year of life has in store.  Turning 29 is not as scary as I imagined, but I still feel a little flutter in my heart when I really think about it.

Thifting Thursday

I know, I know, its not Thursday but I still wanted to create this post, mainly because I have enough down time to think and write.

I am a very very thrifty person (in more ways than one).  I love to save money, but that is not the primary reason that I shop mainly at thrift stores.  I love thrift stores and have transitioned to solely shopping at thrift stores to find my clothes and accessories.  A year or so back I stumbled upon Wardrobe Refashion, which truly inspired me.  I signed up on my own accord, because I really never signed up through the website, but I still followed all the sign up rules.  I decided to give it a try and see how long I could last.  I  only refashioned and only bought at thrift stores.  I absolutely loved it!  I love that my clothes are unique, that I am helping out our environment, and that I am not contributing to the corporate nation that we live under. So was born my complete obsession with thrifting!

Enough blah, blah, blah, now onto the good stuff.  I came up with this Thursday Thrift post idea in the shower, I was really impressed with myself thinking "how could I have not thought of this sooner".  Well I later came to realize later that I had seen this before, and on one of my favorite blogs, Secret Agent Josephine had done it, but only a few days earlier than I had! LOL.  Im sure others out there have same post but I hope my take on it will be al little different.

So starting thursday I hope to post some new thrift store finds, which I do have many of.

Happy Caturday!
