and it begins.

As I write, I am sprawled out on a picnic blanket with nothing but my notebook, camera, and sheer joy.

Today was spent biking back & forth {and then back. and forth again.} to school to write the last of my exams. Some parts were a bit difficult, but I'm pretty sure I did well, overall. My math teacher added problems like 'draw a smiley face here for extra marks', and left little candies under the exams. It made my day. :)

Teacups, the little bunny living under our porch, made yet another appearance today. It seems like every time she {or he?} comes out, I am able to get a little bit closer with my camera.

Speaking of teacups, isn't this one beautiful? My Mom received it as a gift today, and I'm kind of in love with it.

Well, my Summer has officially begun. I am over the moon. :)

To those of you on {or approaching} Summer Holidays, do you have any exciting things planned? Do tell!

long-weekend bliss.

Two blissful days of no school lie ahead, and it's only Saturday. Oh, the joys of the long weekend!

Do you ever have the sudden need to craft? I quite often do, and it can strike any time, at any place. Seriously. The other day, it struck during school and I found myself folding up little pinwheels out of looseleaf. ^_^ Yesterday, the need just happened to strike a few blocks away from the scrapbook shoppe. Coincidence? I think not.

So, a couple of hours later, my crafting need was fulfilled, and I ended up with this:

Today was a roadtrip to the city, filled with raindrop-plastered car windows, a delicious green tea frappuccino from Starbucks, and a two-hour stop at Chapters. I didn't have much luck with books this time, but I did pick up the fifth issue of Oh Comely! Love, love, love.

Well, I'm off to go enjoy this beautiful weather. Have a beautiful day, my darlings!

PS. Book suggestions, anybody? I'm in desperate need of some new reading material.
