Wallflowers...

I made these fun desktop wallpaper backgrounds using online sample pictures of fabric. To set as your desktop background, copy the image and paste it into Paint. Save without closing, and then click File--->Set as Background (Tiled). Voila! (I'm afriad I've been a PC girl my whole life, so I'm not sure how it works for Macs...)

(fabric via heather bailey store, fabric.com, calicocorners, and pottery barn)

Profess Courage and Act Accordingly

A friend recently sent me this fun tag to create your own "album cover." This is how mine turned out. Looks legitimate, no? I loved the photo I just happened to get.

Now I'm tagging all of you who read this. Here's how make your own:

1 - Go to "wikipedia.com" Select “random article”or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to "Random quotations"or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover art.

4 - Use photoshop or similar to put it all together. I used Picnik (http://www.picnik.com/)

5- Tag some friends to join in

PS - Check out yesterday's post! It's definately the most charming short film I've ever seen. It's worth taking the 7 minutes, promise!

Stranded

I recently found this uber-fun blog that has a series called "Stranded! Sundays," where guest bloggers share what items they'd bring with them if they were stranded on a deserted island.

Here's what I'd bring:


COMPANION: my best friend Alyssa--she'd make the time go much faster while we waited to be rescued. Plus she has an uncanny ability to make me laugh uncontrollably...


FOOD: Margherita pizza as it tastes in Naples--just thinking about it makes me drool



DRINK: Homemade Raspberry Lemonade--mmmm!

MOVIE: French Kiss. I've seen this so many times, but it never gets old or any less hilarious!

BOOK: A giant compilation of all seven Harry Potter books (such a thing doesn't exist, but since I could only pick one book...). And yes, I am a bigtime Harry Potter nerd.

ALBUM: Not one single album really pops out at me. I'd have to bring a mixed CD of all my favorite songs.

BEAUTY PRODUCT: Mascara can go a long way... Although now that I think about it sunscreen might be a bit more practical!

HAIR PRODUCT: A brush. My hair is really long which means it is very prone to tangles...

SHOES: Some cute Tory Burch flip flops!

ITEM OF CLOTHING: This sundress (hopefully over a pretty swimsuit)
