pin it real good.

ok. new addiction alert time.

i am kind of obsessed with pinterest.

the girls at work got me started on it. it's essentially a place where you can be cruising a website of any sort (the demographic tends to be fairly cute/clothing/crafty/party), and essentially tag ("pin") a photo to various categories ("boards"). it's a completely fast and easy way to create your own inspiration boards, as well as follow other boards that you like and then you can repin THEIR pins. and for me, it's a quick way to pretend that i'm blogging (not that i'm giving up on you.), or at least quickly save ideas that i want to blog about.

i believe you need an invite to be able to pin, so let me know, and i'll hook you up.

but here are my warnings:

warning #1:

i have literally stayed up hours past my bedtime pinning. it's addicting as hell. especially when you find other pinners that you like, and then you're going through their thousands of pins, and before you know it, the sun is coming up. (not really, but pretty damn close.)

warning #2:

iphone app, coming soon.

pinterest.com

check it.

find me: chelseyclarke

room revamp.

project #1:
DESK

so, luckily, i work in a world of inspiration and am able to get an overload of ideas on a constant basis.

so far, i have the starts of a new and improved desk that i'm hoping

will not only bring a wonderous GPA, but it will also get those creative juices flowing!

here's a taste for you:

bubble yum.

this makes me happy. 

found on penelope dullaghan.

penelope dullaghan does some really cute things. ("things" meaning illustrations and prints.) 

you just can't help but smile.

there are more to be found here as well.

forever young.

after spending the weekend at my parents' house this weekend, i remembered how much i love all of the "kid art" on the walls of the house. after three kids and many "i want to be an artist when i grow up" phases, the walls feature beautifully, and uniformly framed pastel drawings, embellished handprints, wood block sculpture and 100th Day of School projects.

i love my mommy. and the fact there her Art History degree from UC Berkeley has resulted in the framed fabulousness of the early-90's to mid-00's period of our family. and beyond, i'm sure.

it's not about the bike.
