Bits and Baubles

I am finally back in the blogging world! I was out for a while due to school, but now that school is out tomorrow, I am free to start blogging again for the summer!

There are a few things that I wanted to share with you that have happened over the course of the time that I've been away.

For one, I turned 17 on May 7. And it was the best birthday ever.

Firstly, I got this honey bear from my little brother: 

In addition to him, I received Mary Poppins on DVD, Snow White pjs, and 

Disneyland Tickets

Disneyland here we come! My family and I and my best friend are all coming along! That means I must get busy! I have a 6-hour playlist of Disney songs for the drive up to compose!

I also received an iPhone.

I could not believe it. My reaction was probably priceless. We have it on video.

I have not asked for iPhone or even remotely considered the possibility that I might receive one.

For 3 years I had lived with my dinky little phone with its limited capabilities, and that phone was about to end its life span. But I always thought that I would just get a small something to replace it, not an iPHONE!

Already I cannot imagine myself without it--pathetic and sad, but true. How did I survive all that time with my simple non-smart phone Pantech???

Beats me.

Also, we went to Universal Studios and the Hard Rock Cafe in a limo for my cousins' graduation. 

That chandelier below is made out of saxophones, and since my brother plays the saxophone, I had to take a picture of it.

It was wonderful :)) 

Can't wait for the Mad Tea Party, either! I have such major plans for that event, I cannot even tell you. My best friend and I will be planning it out together and throwing it at her house, because she has a perfect backyard for the event. I simply cannot wait! We have been discussing this since Christmas! If it doesn't live up to our expectations, I am going to be so disappointed.

Here's a little idea of what I think it should look like, on a miniature scale. (I actually had to set up this setting for a photography project called Mini Me, in which you had to use Photoshop to shrink yourself down to size to fit multiple times in the setting of the photo. I made myself walk across the teacups, hang from the clock hand, get trapped in a jar, and hold a key whilst balancing atop the Mad Hatter hat.) 

Do you have anything good planned for the Mad Tea Party? Do tell!!!

Until next time, ma poupées!

P.S. I have been really obsessed with Marie Antoinette fashion lately. That is what inspired the banner of my blog (the picture inside is one that I took. I'm going to try and only post pictures that I take from now on, instead of ones from the Internet.) 

P.S.S. Here is a pic of the knapsack I'm going to bring to Disneyland!

You had best resign yourself to much Disney chatter over the next couple of weeks.

  

BE PREPAAAAAAAAARED!!!!
