I Don't Want To Do Anything Today....

There...I said it.  I am late.  VERY LATE, and instead of running to get dressed, make my lunch, scoop the cat litter, and make my coffee, oh and clean up the mess that LooLoo (cat) made while she dumped the whole bowl of food on the floor, I am sitting here typing because I do not want to move.

I want to sit and work on my Etsy site, and finish some projects, and work on school work, and snuggle with my wife.  I would also like to peruse pinterest and dream of places I would like to go and things I would make (or not make).

I need to get moving.  I know I do.  It's Friday.  I hope people are nice today.  I hope you guys have a wonderful day.

Bench and Compass

By the way this Tumblr site is amazing...the photographs are Amazing!  All taken by one person but I can't find his name on his site.  If anyone can message me and I will post it.  Really, really beautiful.

Love,

Jess

Inspiration for a Tuesday

Sometimes I need inspiration. Sometimes a little and sometimes ALOT.

I have always found comfort in words. Books have always had the ability to make me feel better and as I have gotten older I love finding sayings that can sum up how I feel with a few short sentences.

Here are some of my favorites:

Aren't these great? I feel ready to start with some new projects and embrace my life when I read these.

All of these quotes were found on the blog Little BGCG.

Lots of Love,

Jess

Lovely Sunday Photograph

Lovely Sunday to you All!

I can't believe how fast the weekend flies by.  Yesterday I had a wonderful day with my parents.  I took a nap in their bed (does anyone else sleep really well in their parent's bed?), we went to see the Avengers, ate dinner, and then I brought home dinner to Mer who wasn't feeling well.

Today I have been trying to relax but I did go through a MILLION, yes a MILLION papers and I tried to organize Meridyth's who keeps just as much stuff as I do!

How has everyone's weekend been?  I hope it has been whatever you wanted it to be!

Now onto the photograph!

Image on Flickr by Paul Harts a Glasgow photographer:  Heylipol Church, Tiree

Isn't this image awesome?!  Mer and I have a few dream vacations we want to take but one of them is Ireland and Scotland.  This image was taken by an amazing photographer I found on flickr.  His name is Paul Harts and his work is really breathtaking.

His images make me want to hop on a plane to Scotland today.

One can only wish!

Until tomorrow,

Jess

Wedding Dreams in Photographs

Hi dear ones!

I hope everyone made it through Wednesday today.

I honestly had a rough day.  I know everyone has them so I thought I would share some wedding images that make me happy.  I hope they make you happy too!

A few wonderful things have happened over the last few weeks that I wanted to share. 
Some very dear friends that don't live in Maryland have said that they are planning on coming to our wedding!  It means so much and I can't wait to see them!

Since I have wedding on the brain I wanted to show some recent wedding images I am LOVING!  Make sure to click on the links too.  As always the photography is stunning.

Gorgeous flower bouquet from Callas Flowers

Tea Sunburst found in Rolling Greens.  Originally featured on Los Angeles, I'm Yours Blog

 

Wouldn't this be amazing to get married in front of?  This is 3,000 teabags dipped in paint in varying shades and hung together.  Awesome.

Aren't the two images above amazing?!  I came across Jessi Haack who owns a company that works weddings, events, etc...She is lives and works out of California.  Seeing her work I wish that is where we were located!

Aphrodite Garter found on website Liberty in Love

I haven't decided on a garter yet.  This one is 50 Euros.  Isn't it delicate and whimsical?

Hope you found some dreams in these images.

Until tomorrow,
