Five Months

How in the world is this little guy five months old already?! Seriously, why do babies have to grow up so fast? He is SO much fun to play with these days, he just laughs at everything. (And he has got one fantastic laugh!) Juniper loves to play with him too, maybe a little too much! She often wakes him up from naps and she loves sitting on him... I tell her not to be too rough, but he just laughs the whole time! Those kids love each other, it's so great. He's still nursing like a champ. He eats rice cereal occasionally and we gave him some avocado the other night. It's funny to watch him roll around the house, he'll be crawling before we know it. I just love my tiny man so much, he is wonderful.

On a completely unrelated note: my little sister's drawing was featured on a Rants From Mommyland art fail post! I love that drawing. And RFML is pretty dang awesome so that's cool.

Some Colors & A Sneak Peek

Maybe it's the nonstop packing or sea of boxes in my living room, but yesterday I was craving some color. So my nail polish collection ended up tripling in size. Can you guess which three colors I already owned? I've been having maybe a little too much fun painting random things. (I'll share one particularly cute project soon!) Tomorrow I am HOPING *fingers crossed* that I'll be able to do some sewing before I start the long process of packing up my craft room.

And as I mentioned the other day, I have been doing a lot of thinking lately and I feel like I've figured a few things out. I'm not quite ready to share yet, but here is a little sneak peek: I am going to be moving my blog over to www.crystalynbryan.com! I've owned that site for years and years. (It was my professional portfolio site, but I've moved that over to www.crystalynbryan.com/portfolio) I decided it was time to make the switch to Wordpress, mainly so I can reply directly to comments. (Darn you Blogger *shakes fist*) Anyhow, the site is done 100% done yet, but take a look and let me know what you think! 

Boxes

Just a little glimpse into my life... All this packing is really starting to get to me. As I sit here packing my entire life into a sea of cardboard boxes, the reality of our move is finally starting to sink in. In two weeks, everything we know is going to be turned upside down. I've been thinking a lot. Maybe too much, and about too many different things at once. My head hurts. All I know for sure is that if I don't do something creative soon, my brain is going to explode.

Instagram Hack

So many people have been posting Instagram photos lately, and I just love the way they look. It almost makes me want to buy an iPhone, and people who know me know that is a big deal. (I'm not really into Apple. Shocking, I know...) But no more! I found these awesome Photoshop action filters and had maybe a little too much fun with them tonight.

I am most likely going to regret spending so much time with this when it comes time to wake up bright and early tomorrow... Saturdays are no fun around here because Shaun works ALL day. (I'm talking, 8AM - 2AM) But this is the most creative thing I've done all month.. Getting ready to move is no joke! For me, not being able to be creative is like missing a leg. I can still function, but I just don't feel like myself. Plus, having boxes piling up all around the house just makes me feel unmotivated and lazy. Anyone else feel that way? Hopefully it won't be too long after the big move that we can get settled and get some normalcy back. (And by normalcy I mean crazy creative awesomeness!) Just 21 more days!
