journaling >> my weekend

Working in my journal = deliciously messy desk

Sketch of the inside of Eleven's TARDIS – soon to be colored!

I absolutely love painting in my journal... the pages get wrinkly and crisp, but the dramatic color is so worth it. X)

I hope you all are having an awesome weekend! :D

happy >> tagged :D

Even though I'm very late in replying to this, I still wanted to reply to Lady Emily's happy tag! Thank you for tagging me!

books: OH NO I CAN'T PICK THEM. Um... the Naughtiest Girl In the School, by Enid Blyton. Dandelion Wine, by Ray Bradbury, How To Train Your Dragon (the whole series) by Cressida Cowell. Oh, an also, this is a little bit of a kiddy choice, but the 'Dear Dumb Diary' book series is actually really hilarious. And it makes me happy, so there we go. XD

words: Raxacoricofallapatorious (haha, that had to be the first one), fantastic, geronimo, dizzy, algorithm, yellow, écoute (French for listen), endoplasmic reticulum, facetious

movies and tv: Doctor Who, definitely. Also Sherlock, House M.D., and How To Train Your Dragon. Also, ahaha.... *ahem* the Wombles. (its for kids but it is so so adorable)

scents: cold outside air, butter and vanilla, pine needles, cinnamon, upturned grass (like when you rip it out of the poor ground like a two-year old. Aah X), baking banana bread, baking cookies

songs: anything by Owl City, Sigh No More (by David Tennant and Catherine Tate), We Go Together (also David Tennant and Catherine Tate), Hold on Forever (PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS), TobyMac in general, Geronimo by Sheppard, and the Cave Johnson remix

miscellany: falling snow, my cat's soft fur, my River Song's sonic screwdriver, Christmas pajama pants, weekends, writing, my sister, laughing, the French language, this blog community in general :3

"don't eat me" >> cookie cutters

#that awkward blogging moment when you photograph a banana on the floor because lighting is inadequate on the counter

First, let me explain the banana thing – in my house, bananas are widely and deeply loved. For one to ensure that she will have the banana for breakfast the next day, she must carve a message into the prey itself to fend off other predators. All it takes is a careful fork tine and a slight indent in the banana's skin. ;)

My brilliant plan worked. I did eat the banana today, just saying.

Aren't these cookie cutters the cutest things? I got all of these for about $12 at an old-fashioned country store that sells candies, candles, and other neat things like twig pencils (which I also bought!). Clearly among my favorites are the hashtag, the t-rex, the hand (TenToo, anyone? Any Whovians out there?) and, of course the bow tie.

*faint shouting from the Eleventh Doctor about how bow ties are cool*

What's your favorite cutter of the bunch? :3

*this post inspired heavily by the lovely Sarah. I hope you don't mind I borrowed your style!*
