Hi there and hello. Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you find something of interest!
#45 January 6 by Melissa Morris
In 2009 Melissa Morris decided to create 160 art journal pages by the end of the year. She didn’t quite make it, but this year she’s decided to pick up the project where she left off (page 43). Yipee! So far, I’m really enjoying her drawings and the commentary that accompanies each one. Watch her progress on her blog 160 Pages: A Journey Through Journaling. Melissa also authors the blog Operation Nice.
This is a clever bookmark. Very cute. I read a lot, but I just use free bookmarks that I get from the library or bookstore. They work just fine, but this one would ad a little more fun to the day.
Savannah Story Bust, Gazelle from Anthropologie
Last week, Jennifer Hill tweeted about these amazing animal busts. I’m so glad she did, because this gazelle is just wonderful. I can’t get over it! This little guy is officially on my wishlist.
I. Love. This. Song. Emphasis completely necessary. I really like to make a fool of myself and dance to it (usually alone) by slowly swinging my arms in the air above my head in time to the music. Yeah, it’s a pretty dorky move, but it’s really fun. I urge you to give it a try while you take a listen. For the sake of your reputation, you may want to make sure nobody’s watching if you do decide to give my sweet dance move a test run.
Today’s question: What book(s) are you reading? What’s on your reading list? I started wondering when I realized that all of today’s images involve printed words.
I just finished reading Bel Canto. I read late into the night because I couldn’t put it down, and I’m still thinking about the story (almost 2 weeks later). It’s about a long-term hostage situation and unexpected bonds form between the captives and the terrorists.

Lost In Thoughts is a weekly series. I started this feature because I’m inspired by the amazing things I see on blogs and Etsy, and by family, friends, readers’ comments, and life. I don’t want to keep all of these wonderful finds to myself, so I gather them together on Thursdays to share with you.

April, Bel Canto is one of my favorite books of all time. It’s so beautifully written. I have the first few paragraphs saved and often use it for dummy text when I’m laying out websites. Wonderful book.
Good call on the other items too, I like that animal bust.
That books is just amazing. I loved it. I will probably read it again. ♥
