hit me like a ton of bricks


that it's almost DECEMBER! Holy Moses! I guess I didn't really realize how much it was creeping up on me! I have so many gifts to make for family members and I'm hoping I can get them all done. I wish I could enlighten you on what said projects are, but I have an aunt and a sister that creep over here and see what I'm up to sometimes. :]
Hi Auntie!!!


anyway. Thanksgiving was pretty much fantastic. I spent it with my future in-laws and then went home for the remainder of the weekend. I got back to school yesterday around... 3:00 and I got a LOT done in the world of Elaine!

Ian convinced me to stop at this little Antique Mall yesterday on our drive back to school and I'm SO glad we did! I found the CUTEST little fawns in that store! Totally vintage and totally adorable.

They are sprinkled around my room and I'm excited for them to become a favorite of mine to incorporate. I love this photo that incorporates fawns into their kitchen:

I have already placed one of the deer in my new sink display I created last night:


Been working on several small projects lately too:

namely granny squares (getting ready to start a blanket), Style School homework and drawing, but I also had time to make these FUN decals for my mac out of contact paper:


I cut the shapes out of woodgrain contact paper. Normally I'm a hater of people putting stickers on their laptops, but since contact paper is flexible and easily removed, I made an exception. I was inspired by this on flickr!

I also got to draw a LOT over Thanksgiving break which was nice. It was great to have unlimited amount of time to just stop and draw if I wanted to. Some of my faves from the week:




I'm feeling very inspired this week! I want to hurry and get all my work done so I can make some fun projects and finish Christmas gifts! I'm trying to make sure i STAY inspired too, so I'm having a blog immersion program on myself this week. ;) Here are some inspirations of mine at the moment:

*pretty holiday decor post from janel


*instant photo projects from Elsie


*drawing book ideas (idiosyncraticamy)


*pretty holiday cards (Genvieve vev)


alright. I need to rock out this week, so I'm off to cross more lovlies off my LIST! Back so so soon! *promise!*

Great post! love your drawings and inspiration for the holidays. Cute deers--great find!!

I was at target and thought of you. They have these little trees in the 1.00 sec but think they are 2.50. they have pink, silver ,blue and other colors I can't think of right now. Would look so cute in your room. They are shiny like the vintage silver ones.

thanks so much for your inspiration

Hi!! I don't think I ever said congratulations about your engagement. So, CONGRATS! I'm looking forward to seeing what sort of holiday crafts you've got going on. I'm working on a granny square blanket too! Can't wait till it's done. :)

Hello! First of all, I'd like to say that you have a lovely blog--there's so much creativity and inspiration going on. :)

Secondly, I love those little fawns. I have a little fawn just like the one you put on the milkglass cakestand with your perfume. Such a darling little deer. I bought it at an antique store for a buck. :D

And lastly, I featured your blog and some of your photos over at my blog. http://miss-scholastic.blogspot.com/2009/12/elaine-glow-in-dark-soul.html

Have a great weekend!
