Love Graffiti

Most people know that I am obsessed with Love Graffiti. While perusing the interwebs this morning I found this great artist on HypeBeast. I hate re-posting other people's stuff, but this was too good to pass up. Check out the stuff Steve Powers has been doing. I wish I had the time to get out & do this stuff! This is part of his "Love Letters" Project.

The day I accidentally became a dog-sitter.

So anyone who knows anything about me knows I LOVE dogs. Beyond love... and I want one so bad, but have been holding off until our situation to bring a little pup into our lives (as painful as that has been). I grew up with dogs at all times, and have been missing that companionship for a long time now.

So when we were at Barista last weekend we were sitting at the outside table right by the door, which happened to be near the pole that apparently is frequented by dog owners as a tie-up place. As one girl was struggle to tie up her dog, I offered to hold him if she was just going inside & coming right back out... Meet Kodiak the Bernese Mountain Dog/Newfoundland Mix... 10 month old "puppy" too ;)

Shortly after Kodiak & his owner left, up walks another dog owner with the same dilemma. So after talking to him he decided to tie his poodle Astro up next to us. We quickly bonded as well.

He looked and felt like a sheep, it was awesome! Super tight curls for fur... 

He looks like cookies & cream, I loved it!

Needless to say, it was a fun afternoon and I got some good doggie-time which is always nice... only problem is now I want a Kodiak of my own! At least my birthday is coming up soon ;)

Finally a reason to buy one...

So I have been resisting the super trendy "bottles for hikers that no hikers use" water bottles... well maybe until now. Looks like you can take a bottle and personalize it with photos, type, or basically any fairly small .jpg file. Kind of fun. I like the personalization factor without the stickers (I HATE STICKERS ON STUFF).  But none-the-less, if anything fun to play with for sure! Click on images for larger views...

They even show how it looks in your lifestyle (how dare you assume I have a Mac and use metal rulers and nice fine tip sketch pens....)

Blind Faith

Sometimes Blind Faith is all you have... but all you need... Here goes nothin'...

(No idea where the image is from... sorry!)

Romance hasn't died quite yet ladies...

One of the many little things I find on a daily basis from the boyfriend. This time on my work computer in the dashboard (tucked in with God knows how many random stickies of quotes I have on there)... 

No idea how long it's been there but I definitely melted when I saw it... No better time either as it was a super frustrating day at work yesterday when I found it... I love him.

Photo booth Exhibit

My aunt Teri tipped me off on a great exhibit currently going here in Portland. We all know how much I love Photo booths, and the blog post over at PoppyTalk really has me curious on this. A few images below from their posting on the website, and it looks to already be going out at Ampersand out on Alberta. Too bad I missed the opening at Last Thursday, I was RIGHT there! Oh well...

Count me in!
