10 things that make me happy

Diving into my giant blob bed,

heights,

People that tattoo their name on their arm... just incase they forget it, 

turning my room into a pretty night sky,

making new friends,

running around in silly costumes,

dancing on rooftops, 

my color coded closet, 

frolicking through the kiddie playground,

and very handsome dogs.

Life Size Katie Cutout

My dad always says that I don't come home enough so last Christmas I made him a life size Katie cutout.

She's a great listener, she's always smiling and she's always by your side. Just what my dad wants!

Now I can be home for every family dinner,

constantly confuse my spanish speaking grandmother,

and laugh at all my dad's jokes!

even the bad ones ;)

Sunday

My day may have started like this...

but it ended like this.

Yeaaaah Boi!

Cute iPhone Accessory

My earphones broke the other day. Instead of just throwing them out, I tried to think of what else I could do with them and a cute idea popped in my head!

 I took a little toy and drilled a hole in it. Then I cut off the jack to the earphones and super glued it in the toy.

Then I plugged the little guy into my phone!

Now I have a cute Poo mascot to go with my wallpaper reminding me to get crap done!

What things make you nostalgic?

Last weekend while taking a walk, I stopped at a stoop sale. A large bin had caught my eye and when I lifted up the cover...

it was filled to the top with toys from my childhood! 

Suddenly all of these wonderfully sweet, warm and loving memories came back to me that I had completely forgotten about.

While looking through the toys with a big goofy smile on, the owner approached me and said, "You can take the whole bin home for five dollars"

Five dollars?! I couldn't believe the deal I was getting! 

Realistically, this was just a bin of old, cheap, plastic objects but to me... it was like gold.

 I was able to bring back a flood of happy childhood memories that were locked up in a room inside my head… 

and it only cost me five dollars to buy the key.

How to make a bad day better

It's a very simple equation...  Bad Day + Balloons = Happiness!

Once you blow up a crazy amount of balloons you can...

let them loose on your bed and dance,

Confuse your cat,

Tie them all together and take a walk through the park looking like a giant balloon bouquet with legs,

         and have the most colorful apartment on the block!

Surprise!

It may have seemed like I fell off the face of the earth...which I kind of did for a while. But good news! I'm back and I brought a bunch of ridiculous cat pictures with me!

Yay, bunny cat!

How to make rainbow flowers

Step 1- Find some pretty white flowers.
 ( carnations work best! )

Step 2- With a sharp knife and a superhuman steady hand, split the end of the flower's stem into four sections and put each section in a different cup of colored water.

Step 3- Wait and wait with your Moo cat...

And Bam!

Pow!

Boom!

You've just made some awesome rainbow flowers.

Tampax Ad

Super fun news! I was contacted by Tampax to be part of their new campaign about stand out girls.

 They wanted to feature three creative, unique, real women with their art. A street artist, yarn bomber, and balloon artist. It's the first time they've ever used real women in their ads instead of models!

I loved the whole idea of the campaign and was excited to be a part of it. 

I flew out to LA and started decorating the streets!

In addition to the ad, we also made a super fun commercial. I just love the music!

Things that make me happy

The glowing sky after fireworks,

Mailing my dad embarrasing letters,

Jumping into a brand new, not yet peed in pool,

Playing along with performers in Times Square,

Fun nails,

Revealing secrets,

Riding around the city on bike pegs,

Collecting cute paint chip names such as Sweet Pea, Freckles, Soft Chinchilla, Bunny Nose Pink, and Baby Dreams...

Red hair and pretty tattoos,

Using model toilets in Home Depot instead of the real ones,

And getting Moo a haircut and finding out that the beginning of his tail is shaped like a heart!
