March Snow

Are we sure it's March already?  I have to keep checking the calendar because this view outside does not scream spring is right around the corner.  This view screams bust out the hot chocolate because it's chilly out there!

This picture I took first thing this morning.  I love that I can stand at the back door and zoom in on the trees behind the house.  This was fresh untouched snow, and it looks amazing!  I just thought I'd have to wait until next winter to get snow pictures like this with the new camera.


This afternoon we got out to play in the snow a bit.  Well, I played with the camera, not the snow!  It was brighter out but not really because of the sun, so there was still plenty of snow left on the branches.  It's hard to believe all of this is supposed to be gone by the weekend.  The little heat wave is bringing temps in the 50's.  Got to love Indiana weather!





My new camera bag also arrived with the snow today.  I am super excited about it.  After I get a chance to break it in and fill it up, I'll probably do a review post about it.  Here's a quick look though.  It's a beautiful bag, and of course its my favorite color!

Weekend Wishlist

This week's Weekend Wishlist is based on a template by "calamityjade" on Polyvore.  As I was scrolling through the various templates to choose this week's selection, I stopped immediately when I saw the Tardis.  I just couldn't pass up a chance to use this one!

Initially, I was going to create a wishlist based on the things I would wear if I was the Doctor's companion.  But as I started to put it together, I could only think about the previous companions.  I have no real style myself!  I kept coming back to one look, and one person in particular.  Elisabeth Sladen aka Sarah Jane Smith.

She was my favorite companion, and my second favorite character in the entire series.  (It's going to take a miracle to oust David Tennant from number 1 on that list!).  I love her style, her mannerisms, everything about her character, and she was as beautiful back in the seventies as she was while doing her spin-off "The Sarah Jane Adventures" which started in 2007.  This collection is based off the more recent Sarah Jane.

Sarah Jane Smith

I've watched all of the classic Doctor Who episodes I could find, and I've been watching the Sarah Jane Adventures on DVD.  When I got to the last one, Season 5, I wondered why it was so short.  I didn't realize until the official Doctor Who Facebook page posted on her birthday this year that she had passed away a couple years ago.  Now I know, and it makes me sad.  No more chance of seeing her reunite with another Doctor or hearing her say "Mr. Smith, I need you!" ever again.

So where does my wishlist come in?  Well I wish other people knew how amazing Elisabeth Sladen was.  I wish everybody loved Doctor Who as much as I do!  I wish I had my own sonic lipstick!  And most of all I wish to be as brave, honest, selfless, and amazing as Sarah Jane!

So who was your favorite companion?  And since I couldn't come up with my own style I'd like to hear yours.  What do you think you'd wear if you were the Doctor's companion?

Shabby Chic Spring

It's Friday again, which means its time for the Weekend Treasury Game from the Promoting Creative Friends Team on Etsy.  For the theme this week I went with shabby chic.  It's light and pretty, and definitely spring fresh!  Check out a snapshot of the treasury below, and click the link to see the actual treasury on Etsy!



This week's featured shops were:

Another fun promotion the PCFTeam does are Shops of the Day.  Each day four shops are featured to be promoted.  I'm one of the four shops today!  So as a special treat, I included the other three shops in this special weekend treasury as well. 

Those featured shops were:
I really like how the colors in this treasury came together.  I'm a huge fan of the dollhouse chaise.  I need something like that for Maddie to hang out on when she's not modeling my hats!  I also really like the wooden bunny.  It reminds me of a wooden bunny bank that I had growing up.

What's your favorite item in this week's treasury?  Be sure to visit the treasury on Etsy and add it to your favorites!
