cotton candy foolery.

just played around with the type i chose for my header. yea, yea, did a little updating. this typeface is so cute with these colors!!

journey series: counting the days.

so, i feel like i'm moving next door. i'm still waiting for it to hit me, and i know it will. i feel it in my bones. but for now, nothing so far.

26 days.

haven't really packed at all either. i did minimize my wardrobe, so i hope that helps when deciding which 75lbs worth of items to bring. i dream of living out of a suitcase, and having all that i absolutely need in one. so far, i've cut my accumulated belongings to half it's size. and yet again, less that half of that will be going along with me. ahhhh!

still, i find no rush in packing, all my things still neatly folded away in drawers, my coats still hanging in the coat/storage closet.

i forget that there are a couple books i'd like to bring, some paintbrushes and little tools for making in my spare time.

what is this state that i'm in? i have no clue where my emotions are!
i hope they don't come rushing in the day i head off to the airport and say my goodbyes.
coz there was only one time i've cried leaving on a jetplane.

i cried until i fell asleep after take off.
---happened on my flight from melbourne to home.

**// p.s. sorry for the flower explosion from the last post. i realized after looking at my blog that it was too frou frou!

this shade of pink.

peonies and ranunculus. all year spring bloom.
may you have a beautiful week.

**//can you tell from the blog 'upgrade'?? got a little inspired from sfgirlbybay's bg!

brown paper packages tied up with string.

i love sending packages in the mail, and when i can i wrap them in butcher paper and add little quirky things to them. i usually wrap christmas presents with ribbons of sorts, and yes, use butcher paper as well. anyway, i came across these cutesy things from a blog i follow: mint//ellie.snow and they're on sale on etsy by Alana and Cisco of Humunuku!

i did some christmas card signing last night, have a bit to go ... but if i run out of the cute penguin ones that i have now, i'll surely make my own (if i have time!) and send some out :)

**journey updates: i've been all over the place with my trip lately, first of all, i haven't officially packed-- so hmm. i'm not really sure how i'm gonna condense life into a fifty-pound luggage. challenge accepted!

the itenerary.

i'm excited.

in about a month:

manila for 5 days or so.
melbourne for a week and a few days.
then off to sydney.

deep breath.

(i'm not sure if i'll have a camera. but it'll be fun if i get to post pictures.)
