Vanity Smanity

A recent realization: I am my mothers child and I must cut my hair. I'm also thinking about coloring it blond too. Hahaha. Thanks mom, for instilling in me the overwhelming desire to change my hair every 3 weeks. Love you!

Here are some pictures of my new doo.

short hair from the front

pretty much the back

from below you can see my tiny Mohawk sticking up right there.

So, sorry the pictures aren't that spectacular. I realized, I needed to update for my frequent readers AKA Katelyn. And so I just took them a hot second ago. Hope you all are having a wonderful time. Thanks for reading!

Silly Stuff or Birds at Sea

Yesterday it was gross outside and to avoid going out I wrote some mail, watched some netflix and made this silly collage.

As far as materials go here's how I got myself set up:

Yesterday, I bought some really cool clear elmer's glue at the grocery store while I was out getting a folder and pens. It was half price!

Luckily, I got some matte board in a free box on the side of the road a few months ago and have hung onto it until now.

Most of the images that I used ended up being from the stock of National Geographics that Daniel Wood sent my way.

Last but not least, the chalk pastels are my Mom's from way back in the day. So, that's how I came by everything I needed without spending much of my precious cash $$.

Baby bird, this one out of Portland's own The Mercury, sitting on some antlers

Bird afloat. This guy is probably my favorite "bird at sea" He is also from The Mercury

Katelyn's back from Kenya!

Just a quick shout out to my most loyal reader being back from Kenya so she can read my blog again! haha! yeyah!

Also, Katelyn, glad you're back safe and sound after some harrowing travel and hope that you had a killer time in Kenya.

Love,

Rachel

Moving AGAIN!

So, my household is being dissolved.

Thanks to a history of late rent payments the landlord is throwing the leaseholders out.

This, unfortunately, means that I have to move again.

Luckily, or unluckily, depending on how you look at it, one of my Portland friends, Jack, is moving to Peru for 3 months. I am going to take over his space which will help both him and my newly homeless self, out quite a bit. He will get to keep all his stuff at his old house and I'll get a pre furnished (with a TV & record player I might add) space in which to live and not have to be homeless. Yay!!

That's all for now folks. Hope you have a great evening.

Under There

Two things.

Thing number one: My room is now almost twice the size that it used to be. Yay!! There used to be a bunch of stuff being stored in the space where my bed now is and now there is just a bed! I love all the space.

Thing number two: Out dryer's broken so these are all of my socks and underwear draped about my newly available space.

Socks! Yay! I have so many warm socks! Thanks go out to you guys for all the warm sock I've accumulated over the past few Christmases.

Underwear hanging on thumbtacks on my wall

Socks and underwear draped on desks, lamps and every other non-floor surface in my room.

Showing off a bit

OK So I love making postcards but usually I won't post up pictures of the ones I've made because I'm sending them to one of my followers. I sent a postcard the other day and realized that it was to someone who knows not of this blog. So, I can go on and show off.

This is a picture of one of the postcards I made the other night during my chick flick/collage fest.

Happy New Years!

Hope you are all starting off the new year on the right foot! Just wanted to check in and see if you all made any interesting new years resolutions. So here goes. Anything good?

I actually got sick on new years and didn't think about resolutions at all but I may begin to think of some goals and try to implement them at some set date that I will deem my personal new years celebration.

Hope you all had a great time!

Sincerely,

Rachel Ogburn
