march on.

march could quite possibly be my most favorite month. and i know what you're thinking...

"chelsea, thats because your birthday is in march." but really its not. {but really it is.} it kick offs the season of flowy dresses, popsicles, bike rides, sunglasses, picnics, fresh fruit, birds chirping, park benches, and drawing on sidewalk with chalk. i love the weather. its before the humid hottnes that summer brings. and its after the chilly coldness of winter. its the teeny tiny month a like to call spring. and its here!

i started off this month with a lovely walk accompanied by by ipod blasting my spring sprang sprung playlist thats playing the park by feist. {yes i go all out when naming my playlists}

started a new craft i am so excited about! hopefully i will be done soon so stayed tuned. {i'm pretty sure there will be scraps of paper in my room for forever.}

i had to pick up some fresh new flowers.

{yes i finally go rid of the ones i got a month ago. i hold on to them till the last petal drops. i don't know if its because i'm sentimental or broke.}

made a batch of puppy chow. just because.

{possibly the most addicting sweet snack ever.}

before you ask, no haven't eaten almost half of it. and yes i'm lying.

1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 tsp. vanilla
9 cups rice chex
1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
Combine peanut butter, butter and chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for one minute then stir to blend all ingredients thoroughly. Add 1/2 tsp. vanilla. Stir well. Place the 9 cups of Crispix cereal in a very large bowl. Pour the peanut butter-chocolate mixture over the cereal and toss evenly, making sure all the cereal gets a good covering. Coat with powdered sugar, tossing as you sprinkle to cover each piece well.

i sported one of my favorite dresses.

blue flowers for march.

wishing you a HAPPY MARCH!

hope your first of the month is abosultely delightful.

p.s. the new header {did it myself on paint!} or the balloons? what do you think. i keep changing my mind!

farewell january.

i always love the beginning of the month. it's like a mini new year! {10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, HAPPY FEBRUARY!} january was wonderful. {i started this blog!?! crazy.} but its time to get this year going!! so i welcome february with open arms. {valentines day plus one month away from my birthday!!?! i'll take it!}

i started the month off with a cup of passion tea {i thought it was only appropriate for its name and color. i milk holidays for all their worth... I LOVE 'EM!} and i sported my pink dress!

{it's going to be a good month}

5 minutes later..

"i love valentines day"

"chelsea, do you even have a valentines?"

cue me slipping into a deep hole of depression...

BUT ALAS! i will not let that happen. no way, no sir! and you know what makes me happy?! cards. letters. mail. crafts! SO, this valentines season {if you are with or without a valentine} i would absolutely be delighted to send YOU a valentine.. just email me {shellsea712@gmail.com} your address and expect a fun little card in the next week or two!!

p.s. DOPPLEGANGERS?! it's taking over the facebook community and it's stressing me out a little. i did a celebrity look a like and kept getting kate winslet, beyonce, and even ashton kutcher {yes, that one hurt.} but i finally settled on jennifer connelly. because thats the one celebrity i've been told the most i look like. {but i recognize her gorgeousness and my "human-ness" so don't worry!} what about you?! WHO DO YOU LOOK LIKE!?
