Prayer request

By Lauren | Published March 1, 2011

I’ve never talked about this here before, but I wanted to take a few minutes to do so, to mostly ask for prayers. My dad was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer this past summer. He found out about it after having a seizure that sent him to the hospital, where they found tumors on […]

Library Haul

By Lauren | Published February 26, 2011

This is what I have out from the library right now. 🙂 I’m about halfway through The Host and I’m finding it really interesting so far. I think the writing is better than Twilight, though I can’t say for sure if the story is better or worse or just different. And I’m loving the Vampire […]

Thrifted finds

By Lauren | Published February 25, 2011

I went thrifting for the first time in forever a few days ago. I wish I could do it every single day though. This is a sewing machine manual, but I got it to use as an art journal. I think it’s going to be my “throw in my purse with a glue stick, pen […]

Snail Mail Monday

By Lauren | Published February 21, 2011

I think this was supposed to be a Christmas present, tee hee, but Tina didn’t send the package along until recently. 🙂 Pretty sweet ephemera. I love it. It also gives me good ideas for where I can find my own, maybe while thrifting. (p.s. and candy.. yumm. i got this package over a week […]
