swoon:

April 18, 2011

Hi Friends! Happy Monday! How was your weekend? I have to move the Good Cheer Deals to tomorrow.. So I thought I'd post swoon today instead and start our week off with some inspiration.

Sometimes I wonder how this world can be filled with such lovely pictures - where do all these amazing photos come from? You know what I mean? Inspiration is endless! What are you swooning over lately?

  30. That outdoor movie scene is blowing my mind!!!! It would be the most amazing thing EVER EVER EVER. We'd have to do it at your house though. Too many bugs in Iowa in the summer. :D I'll be right over, K?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Oh, multiple swoons! The "love" tattoo is very much like what I'd want to do for my "moonshine" tattoo (if I ever work up the courage to get it done). And Danni, that last scene is pure heaven! I need a sweet farm so I can host regular outdoor movie nights like that for my friends. Happy Monday, darling!

  32. That cut out paper art is AMAZING. I really want to know who did that!

  33. @Brandi {not your average ordinary} Brandi, let's get some courage and go together! haha, I want one so bad but I'm scared and I think it would hurt ;) I think we should do a blogger friends summer movie social night or something!

    @Megan V ohmigoodness, if you came to CA that would be AWESOME! We could do so many creative collaborations together! ;)

    @lesley @Anonymous @beth c -- Thanks for the photo sources friends! We almost found them all! :)
