now accepting thank you cards

happy thursday every one!!! almost friday!!!
yup i started a thank you card shelf. i hope to receive many more this year. half way through the month and i already received 2, not bad right!
so far my positive attitude is paying off... what goes around comes around!
have a great day everyone! 

good bye wood panels...

yes it is really gone!!! can you believe it???

I started searching the internet for removable wall paper... and if i may say it was expensive! (about $50 per roll) it wasnt until one day a friend and i were talking about this and she mentioned she seem some   on fab.com.  so to test it out i ordered one roll. i chose the yellow chevron since the living room felt so dark and masculine.

looked good. i was sold... so i measured the walls to see how many pieces i would need in total. went back on fab.com and yup... they were no lover available there. thankfully i was able to purchase more from the main retailers site, artisan wall tiles, it was $2 more per piece totaling $20 per roll...

i was so excited when the shipment came in. and i wasn't hard at all...

i found it easier to start laying the pc and start rubbing from the middle, then left to right. this helped so much on preventing air bubbles. (excuse my un-manicured hands)

here is an example where the blade came in handy

woo hoo top portion completed.

im not gonna lie, working around the light switch was a bitch. but i was able to save the look by using the cut out piece and camouflaging it...

here are the end results... what do you think? 

would you consider this in your home?

visit artisan wall tiles and check out the other designs!

happy new year, lets party!

yes i know i am late...
Hope every one had a safe and amazing new year. how did you end up celebrating? i actually went out! can you believe it! this gma didnt stay home and fall asleep at 1030! i wanted to do something different. we ended up going over to marks friends tommy and allyson's home, and what a lovely home it is!
funny thing: so we were all bundled around the tv in the garage for the count down. (it was an outside get-together with an awesome bond fire) ...3-2-1... happy new year!!!! mark and i give each other a lil (peck) kiss... look around... and all the couples are still kissing... like movie kissing... "ummm quick luz i feel uncomfortable look away.... ohh shit they are still kissing... blow your horn as loud as you can and she if they stop... failed!!!"
heres to an amazing 2013! make the best of it, i know i will...

your kindness is contagious

who would have thought... my kindness would be very appreciated...

this past christmas, i dug deep into my black grinch soul, and bought everyone in my building one of them giant sized candy canes. nothing special right? well my neighbors didn't think so. i placed these canes on everyones door with a lil message. and could you believe i received thank you cards, and even cookies! i even received a belated card one last night... it felt good knowing a brought a smile to some of their faces. great way to being more positivity in my life right? 

kill me, please!

Yes I jumped the bandwagon and started a juicing fast cleanse. Day one was easy. But unfortunately, the juicer we've been using for the past two years finally died as I was making my dinner juice. Had tea instead.
Day two: fuck everyone. Don't talk to me, and I can't believe how I never appreciated the beautiful thing called fritos corn chips. Hahahahaha. It's all I can think about. I am day dreaming of a family sized bag, opening it and just dumping it all on my face! Hahahaha thank god I'm only doing this till Friday. Pray for me!!! Hahahaha

a new year, a new me

typical NYE blog post right?
im looking at this coming year differently then i have in the past. this will be my last year in my twenties... my last year to act stupid and get away with it. right? which made me think a lot about who i am, was, and want to be.
these past few years i have been really unhappy. whomp, whomp. i am putting my foot down and will change shit around. first thing first, i need to start having fun again... i used to have fun 24/7. even if i had $15 to spend, i would make the best of it. possible goal??? to fall flat on my face after a night of pure fun?
another thing... them so called friends. i think one of the best things i did this year was not return calls from people who were polluting my life with negativity. yes we all have them people in our lives. in my opinion your friends reflect your personality, and surely do advertise the type of person you are. time for a new batch of friends?
i will also change my blogging habbits... at least a post once a week. this year was lame, i know. i have a feeling this blog will go more into the photography side since i plan on investing more time on my camera.
all i am asking from 2013 is happiness... and that will all depend on my actions, decisions, and positive thinking. Heres to 2013, the year of BAM, BAM, BAM!!!

i think thats about it... not too hard right?

It's official

I can't expect anyone's help or encouragement in this world. Thanks for nothing...
