Night Sky Dreams

Why hello there! How is everyone's week going???

I've been working on some art recently and this is my newest work. I have to say it's my favorite piece ever! I'm so in love with it and it's very near and dear to my heart, to say the least!

There's this book called "One Thousand Gifts" and it's a woman's story about learning to be grateful to God for all things. In one part of the book she describes herself running out into the fields of her farm and sitting and staring at the large full moon, over taking the night sky. This is my rendition of that.

I've been doing a lot of work and reading this week. School has me by my heals as per usual and work will be slower this week so I'm hoping to get to do another painting and get some fundraising started for my trip to Africa. I'll be selling some of the SUUBI jewelry from Light Gives Heat to help fund my travels as well as writing letters.

As for now, that's all I've got for you, but don't worry there will be more to share later this week!

Zuckerberg's Little White Wedding Dress

You may or may not know that I love weddings! Both my siblings have gotten married within the past three years so I've been involved with them some and more and more of my friends continue to get engaged (what's in the water, right?) But the Zuckerberg wedding is a somewhat of a HUGE deal for my family. That's because, my beautiful, talented and oh so funny sister-in-law Malea was one of the consultants that sold Pricilla that very Claire Pettibone dress! (She specifically picked out the veil! Which, I say makes the whole out-fit!) News stations, radio stations and now tabloid news (Inside Edition) are all itching to talk to Mrs. Malea to find out all the details about this amazing purchase right her in Denver, Colorado!

Malea say's that there's not much to say. They didn't even know she was Mark Zuckerberg's fiancé until after the wedding when the designer of the dress, Claire, called to tell them how wonderful she looked and how excited they all were. Talk about a surprise phone call! She had been using a fake name during their appointments and usually avoided any talk of her fiancé. 

I can't say enough good things about my amazing sister Malea. She is one of the most kind hearted, humorous, good looking women I know. She works so very hard at her job and is always around when you need her. She's adopted the nick-names that the rest of the family calls me and all together fits perfectly with the Hutt family! She was made for us!

So in case you didn't hear, Pricilla got it at Little White Dress Bridal Shop in Denver - If you're in need of a beautiful dress, an amazing experience and a consultant you'll always remember, make sure to ask for Malea!!! She'll be sure to hook you up and make you gorgeous for your very big day!

I'll be sure to post whatever interviews I can of her and their big story! Keep a look out for, she's heading up the wedding ladder and could be dressing the next big celebrity wedding!

Summer Time and Fanny Packs

Summer is my season! I love everything about it. Sitting on the front porch reading, all the green and plant life that has come out of the most peculiar places, warm sun hitting your face, Barbecues in the backyard, thunderstorms bringing the smell of rain, fresh fruit and even the smell of skunk (I think I'm one of the few who actually like that smell, it reminds me of summers growing up!)  I love it all! And the summer clothes don't hurt either.

I've decided to accept the inner "hipster" in me and I'm now using a fanny pack instead of a purse (you can get one at almost any thrift store if you're looking). So far I love it and I love not carrying all the junk that I usually do. Seriously how often do I use half the stuff that I carry in my suitcase of a purse???

I've been soaking up the summer air as much as I can these past few days and am planning some fun summer adventures to have, since I won't be doing any traveling this summer. . . did I mention that I'm moving to Uganda though??? So I guess I'm okay with no travel plans this summer! There are so many random things to do in Colorado. Some I've never done, others I haven't done since I was really little so I'm going to become the ultimate Colorado tourist! And lucky you, are along for the ride!!!

If you're anything like me you need to listen to music whenever you are doing anything!

Let me help you with some wonderful pandora stations I've found.

1. Katie Herzig

2. Carrie Underwood (Embrace the country girl in you!)

3. The Civil Wars

These are my three favorite stations and I've found so many good artists through these stations. What are you listening to these days?

Shopping With Your Whole Heart!

SUMMER TIME! 

I'm so glad to be done with this year and these classes! Although I'm taking classes online over the summer it's nothing compared to classes everyday and the feeling of having so much to do. This summer will be pretty calm, a little work here and there, but a lot of time to start focusing on fundraising for my trip to Uganda. – Don't worry details on that will be coming soon! 

I recently found this new website (through facebook ads of all places) and have fallen in love! It's a site that shows you amazing companies that sell products to make the world a better place. Each company is either a Humanitarian, Eco-Friendly, Ethical or Enhancing the community or are doing all of these things. You will love all the fun things to find on this website and to see the companies that you already love!

I have a list of places that I need to get things from (especially when it comes to getting gifts and Christmas time). Not only do I want to buy stuff from these amazing companies but I'm already looking into trying to work for one of them when I graduate next year.

I hope you enjoy this place as much as I do and that you bookmark it on your computer. . . cause you'll be needing it later I promise you that!

Ladles and Lace

This month has been too crazy to even start to try and explain!

But with finals next week and classes ending today I think I will be on a better schedule for life. . . oh and I should probably mention that come this fall, I will be moving to UGANDA!

I found out yesterday that I got the internship with Light Gives Heat and will be spending 3-6 months in Uganda working my dream into reality! I'll be keeping up more with Africa stuff and social Justice on a blog I started for my english class called Undercover Peacemaker.

Another story, last weekend on of my best friends had a bridal shower and it was like walking into a pinterest page. I painted some beer glasses for her gift so that no matter where she is she will always have a piece of Colorado with her. 

The theme was "Ladles & Lace" providing Kitchen supplies and Bedroom supplies for the Bride to be!

Mckendree defiantly got some amazing things at this shower and boy did we girls have some great fun!

We were all to dress like ladies and if we had an apron we were suppose to wear that too. 

And here we are together, the bride to be and my dear friend Mckendree and me!

It was truly and amazing shower and I'm so glad that I get to be a part of this amazing girls big day and life! I'm also super excited for my big new adventure in Africa and I will be sure to keep you updated on all that goes one for the trip! But be sure to check out my other blog to get all the details and info!

Hope your May is wonderful and that you are getting ready for the amazing Summer ahead!

XOXO
