Frankenstein

A few weeks ago I got to go on a gal-date with my girl AshleyG. We work together and have become really good friends after we bonded over Supernatural, Tumblr, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston, theatre, etc, etc, etc....

So when she heard they were showing a filmed version of the "Frankenstein" play with Benedict Cumberbatch--we HAD to go.  

I still have daydreams about it. It was absolutely INCREDIBLE! WAY better than I thought it would be--I could have watched for days!




Then we went to Cheesecake Factory--yum!!





Best day EVER!! AND guess what!? we get to go see "Coriolanus" with Tom Hiddleston in a couple of weeks! Oh my gosh! I can't wait! I love being able to be friends with someone who understands my extreme fan-girl and love for British actors. :)

Bookshelves

The thing I love most in life are books. Because they can transport you anywhere. Even though my room is incredibly tiny, I still have to make room for my books.
 Not only are they fun to read, but they're beautiful to look at!

Kessa's Birthday and Inked Chevrons Valentines Cards

Today is my lovely sister {Kessa} 's birthday! She is 20! AHH! When did that happen!?


She is the sweetest girl I know-always caring about other people.
She works really hard at everything she does and is super smart!
She is studying Dietetics at Utah State University right now and is the Relief Society President in her singles ward. :)
She makes me laugh and sends silly emails to brighten my day.
She is the BEST! If there was anyone I would've been happy to revoke my "only child" status to--it would always be you.
I love you!

ALSO. Speaking of love. Valentines day is right around the corner! Do you have a gift for your Valentine yet? My shop is filling up with hearts and kisses: go grab some!
These cute cards will be available at the Wandering Wardrobe in Springville--
but don't forget I can do anything custom too!

The Box Project

So I joined Tumblr a few months ago and I've truly found my home. Why did they not have/I not know about this when I was in High School? I would have felt so much less alone. At least what I've seen; Tumblr is a group of introverted, fandom-crazed, anxiety-ridden, lovable, girls&boys that get together and share the things they love with the world. They are funny, clever, kind, understanding people {mostly} and I feel like I fit there. There actually are people out there that love Supernatural & Benedict Cumberbatch & Tom Hiddleston & Marvel Comics & Paris & England & Cupcakes & EVERYTHING I love as much as I love them--and they're not made fun of or shunned-they are embraced and cheered on. 

There's the lovely ladies that run a blog that posts about the beauty that is Tom Hiddleston--I mean have you SEEN this post? and they {hiddleston-daily} decided it would be fun to send Tom a package from his fans for his birthday. They got bombarded with gifts from all over the world! I thought it was such a great idea--I had to get in. I've been wanting to write to him and let him know how much I adored him as an actor and his happy personality--and what a better way to do that then send it with dozens of other love notes for his birthday.

I wanted to send something unique too, so I thought 'Why not send one of my illustrations?' He's been so many incredible characters, so I picked a few of my favorites and sketched them out for him. What fun!


I'm really excited for him to get the package and so grateful for the ladies at hiddleston-daily for sponsoring such a fun gift! Tom, you gorgeous man, we love you!


p.s. I'm brilliantlovely on tumblr if you want to follow :)
