A few things that make me happy

flowers that seem to smile,

decorating burritos like I would decorate a cake,

shopping cart street art,

my new intern,

trees with a sense of fashion,

forcing embarrassing butterfly tattoos onto my brother's arm,

Moo's thinking face when he's studying,

dancing while doing the dishes,

and wonderfully gigantic smiles!

I have a crazy busy weekend and would love to hear some things that make you smile. It would definitely make my stressful weekend a bit less stressful! So let's play a game, tell me something that makes you happy or link to a photo that makes you smile in the comments and I will pick a few people at random on Monday to send a fun present to in the mail! Make sure to put your email or a link to your blog in the comments so I can contact you.

Spin!

Want to see the funnest camera ever?

It shoots a 360° photo buuuuuut I just enjoy spinning it, with or without film ;)

Gawker Show

Last week I was part of a group art show called "...In with the New" at Gawker.

I filled their space with tons of silly thought bubbles so that when someone stands under them you can read their thoughts!

There were thoughts about bootys,

food being stuck in your teeth,

starting a fight,

and of course, one hundred shirtless men!

I secretly made a thought bubble of a guy who works at Gawker and hung it up in the bathroom. He had no idea until he went to the bathroom the next day and saw himself thinking about himself in the mirror!

He must have been very confused ;)

The Tourist Lane

For our latest Improv Everywhere mission, our friend Jeff had a funny idea to create separate lanes on the sidewalk with chalk for tourists and New Yorkers.

New Yorkers are known for always racing to their destination and since people from out of town like to take their time and actually enjoy the city, having separate lanes isn't a bad idea!

Everyone thought it was hilarious and suggested that it be painted in all cities.

I'm guessing this couple has a long distance relationship.

Our friends wore orange vests and pretended to be in charge of keeping people and dogs in their lanes.

They were improvising the whole time and were talking like very stereotypical New Yorkers. Their interactions with people are absolutely hilarious. I've been quoting some of their lines all week!

Even though I live in New York, I'd prefer to take my time and stroll in the tourist lane ;)

Funny Faces

happy,

happy,

happy,

evil.

Oh hairless cat, your cranky little face makes me want to squeeze you until you explode with confetti!

Something Pretty

This morning I woke up with an urge to make something pretty...

so I did!

I made a mobile full of butterflies, ladybugs, and birds and put it together with things I found around the house like fishing wire, a CD, ribbon, and a pretty pink button.

Isn't it fun making something with stuff you find just lying around the house?

Greenpoint, Brooklyn

I took a walk around my neighborhood and saw..

spiderman,

the prettiest building ever,

a man punching a bear,

a giant dead fish,

a lovely tree,

a new fact,

a funny tree,

a handsome man,

a cute cactus,

a dentist office apparently run by monkeys,

and a butterfly cookie!

butterfly cookie... meet my mouth!

A few things that make me smile

The thought of living on Love Lane,

a lady bug landing on the teeny tip of your finger,

mashed potato martinis,

this adorable bunny,

casually bumping into a zombie,

finding love notes around your apartment,

dancing in dressing rooms,

pretty aprons at restaurants,

a new batch of twos,

cat, cat, cat, cat, llama,

and going barefoot no matter how dirty the road is!
