I want to write a book. I have wanted to for years, but I have so many ideas for so many different kinds of books, that its hard to organize my thoughts, and I don't have a clue on how to begin.

I really enjoy reading the "Black Heels to Tractor Wheels" on the Pioneer Woman website, so maybe that's a good way to begin. To write little vignettes, or chapters in the beginning. Then allow things to grow. But the voices of my high school English teachers says to write an outline, and character analysis's, and the intro and conclusion paragraph first.

What to do! What to do!

So, help me! Any suggestion, ideas, words of wisdom? I'll take it all.

a love for blogging...

I love blogging. I promise, I really do. You may then ask "Why have you not blogged for quite sometime?". My answer would be "part laziness, part working 2-3 jobs at any one time can be a bit time consuming". :)

Finally now, life has slowed down a bit, and I long to continue blogging. Thank you to those who keep coming back and reading, I appreciate it! :)

Here is my summer in pictures:

Simple, Summer Wedding

Here are some ideas for things in a wedding I am planning for this summer...
fun, simple, earthy, unique!

Cant get enough of it!

Getting Things Done!

Today I did:
Research with Allison on B&B's
Sewed a little hand clutch
Got all the fabric cut for 2 bags (with the help of Al)
Set 3 dates to be at the Heartville Fleamarket
Cleaned out and re-organized my closet
Vacuumed
Cleaned up everything from the cake making adventure last weekend
Threw out bunches of trash, and recycled plastic bags
Drank LOTS of diet coke!

Feeling good.... nothing beats the feeling of a clean, organized space!

Pic of the cake I made this weekend:

currents:

Just finished: Blink by Malcom Gladwell... SO thought provoking and entertaining! A must read for everyone!

Just started: The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks... so, its a Sparks book... I think that says it all!

Listening to: Bethesda (of course... what kind of manager would I be if I didnt know all their songs!) Listen to them HERE

Watching: Modern Family. Each week gets funnier and funnier!

Creative Picture

Fount a great picture today while browsing photographers in the Akron area. This one is from Visualizations Photography, located on Portage Trail in Cuyahoga Falls. I have seen there work ever since high school, and have been repeatedly impressed with it!

You could also do a wedding twist to it... would be so creative!

currents:

Reading: Prairie Tales, by Melissa Gilbert.... cant put it down!

Watching: The Proposal... cant go wrong with Sandra!

Sewing: Laptop bag for Allison, and "Business Suit Quilt" (more on that to come later!)
