Tuesdays Treasures

Hello all 2 of my blog readers!
I can't believe in two days I will be moving out of my parent's home.. hopefully for the last time! If you don't know.. I just graduated from college with a bachelor in Visual Arts in the Spring. I am moving outside of Springfield so I can commute there and find a part-time job while still doing my photography business and painting business. I am living with my aunt and uncle for free.. so unfortunately I won't be "on my own" yet.. but with no income, it is a smart move and I hope to move out of there in a couple of months. It will be nice to not have to answer to anyone or get permission to do something in my own home. Anyways, its time for my weekly "favorites".. so here we go!

Henna Tattoos, please?.. I know I can get the cheap stuff at Michaels or other craft stores.. I guess that would be a good place to start. Its so beautiful, and stays on longer than a sharpie, but not as long as a real tattoo.. sounds perfect.. and I love browns!
I have been following this blog for a little bit.. and I absolutely love the color of this girl's hair.. I don't think I want to go that red.. but it has inspired me to want to try red again. With my darker hair.. it will look more purply/burgundy/brown/red.. but I think it will look really good with my longer hair. I only had it done with my short hair. So here's to Kaelah for her inspiration.. ps.. I still want a blonde streak.. I haven't forgotten.. Here is a picture of Kaelah and her awesome hair. :)

Ever since getting back into photography, I have been addicted to other wedding/photography blogs. Amanda got me hooked on Ruffled... and you can see why... Blogs like these really have inspired me to be creative and find what kind of style I love...

The last thing for today is my slight obsession with baking/cooking lately.. my amazingly awesome boyfriend's birthday is the 30th.. and he is having a get together at Buffalo Wild Wings.. but I really wanted to bake him something. I will be in the process of moving and I can't really surprise him with anything.. so I'm hoping he will be okay if I make cupcakes or a cake at his house. I love chai cupcakes.. and hopefully we can make those... I just found this blog while browsing Chai cupcakes.. so hopefully we can try this, this weekend!


I hope everyone has an amazing rest of their week! Please keep me in your prayers as I pack tomorrow and head to a different house Thursday! I am 80% excited and 20% wary... but I hope it turns out to be a great temporary situation!

God bless,

Em

First: Why was I not invited to JB's party? You know I'm one of the two readers!
Second: Ok, so I didn't really have a second but I sounds more official.
Love your favorites, I want to henna you some day.

Here's your 2nd reader ;)

Babe, if you do some henna tattoos please don't do it on the face, I always thought that looked a bit tacky...
I'm excited that you have an engagement pics gig coming up soon! I hope I can get a camera someday and help team up with you on that.
And I hope you know I will never say no to sweet treats. You are welcome to come back some cupcakes or something anytime you want :)

I can't wait to help you move in!

Whoa, whoa, whoa....I'm one of the two readers, so one of you must be an impostor...

I'm excited for your new adventure...and to have you closer. If only my kids were cuter, you'd come and visit me more often :)
