this is my post of random obsessions, and update of what has happened over the past week or so, and a way to make blog followers happy (amy and lisa)

i know what all of you guys are thinking, and you don't i have to say it. yes, i haven't posted in FOREVER... soo...... as a way to catch up all of you guys out there on the exciting yet boring life of a teenager.... i'm doing a super huge, out of this world amazing post. yayness.

so, i'll just start from the beginning of where i left off since i've last posted... so... that would be mother's day. sadly, because i haven't posted in the past 2 weeks... i did not do a mother's day post... and i feel quite horrible about that... so here it is, almost 2 weeks late. the 10 things i lovee about ma mere.
1. my mom has this amazing way of encouraging people. and this may sound corny, but it's encouraging to me.

2. my mother is extremely creative in a way that i definitely am not. she has an eye for the most beautiful things.

3. shopping. what would i do if my mother didn't enjoy shopping? all i know, is that we definitely wouldnt have so much fun together.

4. friday nights. every friday night (unless i'm doing something w/ friends... which is quite rare) we have frozen pizza, and then we settle down in the living room and watch tv shows, or girl movies (since my father falls asleep right after dinner). i love friday nights. soo much fun.

5. i can talk to her about everything. at any time of the day, no matter what is on my mind.. i can always come and talk to my mom.... she usually always has an answer to my questions, or an ear to listen to my teenage ramblings..

6. she has taught me so many lessons throughout life.... even though i sometimes dont like what she has to say, or what her decisions are.. i know that what she does will only help me in the long run..

7. she pushes me out of my comfort zone. i am quite a perfectionist and tend to limit myself wayy too much when it comes to painting, or doing anything artistic. my mom is always there to tell me that i can do whatever i think i cant. and, of course... she is always there to here me say that she was right.

8. my mom has such a giving heart... she is always think of ways that she can try to help somebody else...

9. she is such a role model for me. from everything to how she treats people, to her creative abilities..

10. she loves me more than anyone in the world!!

and.... on that same sunday.... jacob asked me out. and yeah, i know... that's not really new news to anybody... but hey. i just have to say it... and you can call me a lovestruck teenager if you wish, but i have never been happier in my life. and.... speaking on this subject... i have no pictures of my amazing boyfriend, which is quite sad for a girl who is aspiring to be a photographer. so.... hopefully i'll have pics of us soon... ?? *hint, hint*

so.. lately, nothing has really been happening. right now i'm pretty much just going to school and counting down the minutes of each day, and then how many days until summer!!!! i can't wait. summer will be soo much fun. hopefully a job at the bakery, getting to see jacob, and going to atlanta. hmm...... that sounds so much fun.

i havent really painted much over the past week... but the week before last, i did 2 paintings. one of them is the first one of my first series. this first series is going to be called first kiss, thanks to amy for the wonderful idea!!!! i also already have an idea for my second series.. but i'll have to get the first series up and running before i can start on the other one... so i'll be needing to buy some more canvases very very very soon.

as for what i painted last week........

this is the first painting of my "first kiss" series. and yes, i know.. i did change it.. but the way i had it before was bugging me sooo much. and plus, now it has more meaning to it than it did before...

and, here's another pic. also in this pic is something that is going to be used in my wedding. (: and yes, i am just that bored sometimes that i have quite alot of my wedding planned. it's kinda sad if you ask me... but, it's not my fault that my mom kept some wedding mags for me to look at when i got older and i went through them this year and pulled all of the stuff that i liked..... blame my mother for giving me sooo many good ideas.

i did these little paintings last friday night at a craft night that, quite frankly, did not last long enough for my satisfaction.. but... whatever. it was kinda never racking to be doing this painting, since i've never painted in front of people... and the first time that i did was infront of 5 people, one being my amazing boyfriend... so. yeah... i was quite nervous doing this one... but, it turned out good, even though i was shaking the whole time...

an up-close look at my lovely birds....

i also have been working on another painting of a girl... it's all black and white, and very Elsie inspired. but, you wont get to see that one until it is finished (:

as for my obsessions.... i'm going to start with my latest etsy vintage clothing finds. hmmmm..... this is lovee.

those are the random articles of vintage clothing that i'm inlove with... but, not things that i will be able to get..... ohh well. i'm hoping on being able to make some clothing this summer... so that's one project that i have to look forward to....

and, my other latest obsession....

this is a most gorgeous classic yellow volkswagen bug that i have fallen in love with. i've had the dream of having a classic bug for as long as i can remember... hmm.. so, this is my dream car.. and hopefully, if i make enough money this year... i will be able to buy myself one of these amazing little cars.

anyways, that is my super amazing post... and i will definitely be posting more often. i promise.

xoxo, abs.
