We need to create Vision Boards!

Just ran across this post on The {NewNew} Blog on creating a Vision Board of your dreams for 2011 and I thought of us! As sited from this free info sheet on vision boards, "A vision board is simply a board of any size, which has pictures, words and other items collaged onto it. The purpose is to create a picture or vision of what you want to bring into your life; this could be where you’d like to visit or live, changes to your existing environment or life, who you want to become and what you want your life to be like."
Sounds like a good excuse to get together and collage to me!!

Halloween Inspiration (for next year)


Ok, I hate to divulge so early what I would like to be for Halloween next year, lest someone steals my awesome idea or ruins it for me in some way, but these photos inspired me, from the Dia de los Muertos festival at Hollywood Forever cemetery:



Maybe I will find a reason to use the idea before then. 30th birthday costume party perhaps! It would be really sweet to have my besties and I all dressed up like this (because our pin-up theme this year was a blast!)

The seed has been planted.....

The Boom Case





Saw this today and it made me think of the very retro case that Kristen got for Crystal for Christmas last year.....

Mr SiMo’s Boomcase Project recycles suitcases by making them into very portable very cool speakers. Each one is bespoke and works with iPods, iPhones and any device with a headphone jack yadda yadda yadda. The exciting bit is that the cases have chargers built-in and last for over seven hours. Bring it on (via Life Lounge).

I love this idea, and I would love to have a portable speaker set for my iPod for events like apple picking, picnics, BBQs, etc. I bet my parents have a few old suitcases in the attic that I might try to repurpose. What a wonderful way to recycle!
