human nest

speaking of my new little friend i got for my birthday, could you imagine staying a night in a human nest?

imagine sleeping under the stars at the treebones resort. then waking up to the serene waters at the big sur coast in california. who's with me in finding it?

"for as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him."

psalm 103:11

here's to you...

...friends and family who have made today, my birthday, oh so special. i am truly blessed by each and every one of you.

want to know some special treats i got on this 22nd birthday?

my newest roommate, gryffindor, thanks to courtney king (how often is it that you get a bird for your birthday?)

a fondant buttercream fudge cake from my multi-talented little, laura,

and a super-delish chocolate, peanut butter candy concoction from meagan.

along with bundles of texts, calls, messages, tweets and facebook wall posts. you guys are the best!

"how priceless is your unfailing love! both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings."

psalm 36:7

the art of dolan geiman

i am currently enraptured by this chicago artist. he calls it "contemporary art with a southern accent™" how wonderful is that?

i love mixed media and playing with different types of materials when creating funky art. and an extra bonus for me: he incorporates little birds in lots of his work!

"little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth."

1 john 3:18

birds and the houses they live in

i love birds (i have owned a total of 7 over my lifespan) and i love art. i am always looking to incorporate both in my room at home. doesn't this children's room look magical? if that were my room, i would have spent hours in "lala land" (which i commonly refer to as my childhood)

and wouldn't you love to have a cute little songbird in this bird cage i found on etsy?

speaking of etsy, you may have caught me wearing my favorite bird necklace i bought from that beloved web site.

"for great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies."

psalm 108:4
