Book Review Monday!

 The help, in a well crafted book based in Jackson, Mississippi during the segregation . The Author, Kathryn Stockett  knows how to portray the typical 'Southern Belles' and of course the black maids during this time in America. What you don't know is that this book isn't just an artifact filling you in about our American history, it digs much deeper into your heart and moves your emotions. Don't worry it is also filled with laughs and it is defiantly a page turner and a book you should keep on your shelf for life! I, myself, was breathe taken by this story. The help, is the story of black maids rallying together and pushing the limits when writing a book with a white woman named 'Skeeter'. They write about 'how they like being a maid'. The Help, is filled with sad, scary, intriguing, romantic, funny and laugh your head off stories! I highly recommend this book! So make sure you buy it or go to your local library to get a copy!

My Fashion Design

I kind of wish this outfit was real...so I could wear it. I love the shoes, the hat, the scarf and the boyfriend blazer...just wish I could sew! Need to learn sooo badly :) :)

My Artistic Side...

I love drawing little girls with hearts...my favorite kind of art! :)

The Art in Earth

Without Art the earth would just be 'eh'. :) I think that is a very true factor. I hate it when people only see in black and white...they don't see colors or that the earth is a wonderful place. I believe people make up those colors, I think we take life for granted and we just dream about material things rather than focusing on true treasures. People and our relationships. One of my favorite quotes is by 'Vincent Van Gogh' it goes like this... "The more I think about it the more it seems...there is nothing more truly artist than to love people. I agree, that is one brilliant quote! So, rethink your path in life and stop living the stupid phony American dream, love people and you will live with no regrets! (I drew the pic...so inspired by that quote:)

Book Review Monday!

Finding Noel is happy, sad, interesting and charming! I've read this book three times and it gets better every time I re-read it! I love Richard Paul Evans and so if you haven't read any of his books this book would be a good start because if you read one of his books you are going to want to read all of them. His books are nurturing for your soul and keeps you on your toes. Easy reads and good story-lines...I'm all about that! So check Richard Paul Evans out at your local library and start reading! :)

Why I love Etsy!

 

Really cute, right? Sorry but I just love vintage. The first pic is this dress I want to buy on Etsy. Etsy is an online store that is for people that are looking for original and unique stuff. They sell everything from handmade to vintage. They sell furniture, bath + beauty, makeup, accessories and all kinds of other stuff. A lot of stuff is pricey but you can get really good deals, the dress on top is only $12. The red shoes are like $80, so like I said it can be pricey, but I recommend you visit. Go to www.Etsy.com

I Love Banksy!

 

Hey, Check up Banksy! He is a graffiti artist in England and nobody knows who he is. So, I t is pretty awesome. He does work all over the world and I am thinking of making this black and white and blowing it up on a canvas in my bedroom. Would that be a good idea? I love all his art work! To me it does not feel like graffiti, it is just genius and creative!
