DIY: Botanical Specimens & Shadowboxes

If you're looking for a quick and fun craft project for this week I suggest checking out design*sponge for their new DIY pressed botanical specimens tutorial. If I weren't leaving for Britain this week I would definitely get into it but as it is, I'll have to wait til I'm back at the end of the month :(

Let me know if you create anything special of your own this week!

Also, if you're in the mood for a more time consuming or stimulating craft, you might check out this DIY shadowbox project with Moomah also found on design*sponge

A Peek Into The World Of Faeries

For those of you who missed out on visiting the magical FaerieWorlds festival this year, I offer a glimpse into another way of life...

Backpacker Cat

This is the dream life....starting in 2008 this couple started on a 3 year, 9000 mile journey from Miami to the far tip of Argentina....with their KITTY!

News of their travels are recorded on their blog Turn of the World and plenty of video clips document their incredible adventures and most importantly the cutest cat in the world.

I know that the second clip is in French but even if you don't understand a single word like me, the point gets across just fine...the sense of wanderlust isn't just for humans, cats live for it just the same.

Thanks to Cute Overload for introducing me.

FaerieWorlds I Already Miss You...

Don't worry I'll be posting some more images of my trip to FaerieWorlds soon. It was such a wonderful, fantastical adventure I wish I could have brought all of you with me.

I did however lose my wings though.....hopefully the soul who found them loves them as much as I did...

Natural Formations

Seriously....how beyond unbelievable is nature?
