Custom Lanyard
A customer asked me to make a purple celestial lanyard which will be a gift for someone who loves purple.

I opted for these color tones which will make the lanyard more wearable with different outfits as opposed to Crayola purple!

Weeds!
My lawn boasts all sorts of pretty weeds. Before mowing over these beauties I wanted to celebrate them!

I think this is buttercup which we used to put under our friends’ chins to determine if they liked butter as a child. I feel strange saying we used to do this so please let me know if you did this with your friends too so I do not feel so weird!

These purple things are fascinating with their oddness.

My favorite lawn weed is this sweet little white flower. I can count on the weeds to continue visiting me throughout the summer!

Super Moon – May 5, 2012
I hope you all had a chance to observe the super moon on May 5! It was quite a sight! There are so many amazing photos from around the world of this celestial wonder from the evening. These are all published on Boston.com.

This is my favorite. A simple photo of the moon with the ocean!

It is amazing to think we all enjoy the same celestial beings!

Dark Shadows
Johnny Depp and Tim Burton did it again! Another fun flick! I did not read up on Dark Shadows before seeing the movie and found out the day of that this used to be a television series (soap opera style) from 1966 – 1971. This must have been the beginning of insane, supernatural writing for soaps.

Anyway I do not want to give away any of the plot but if you love Depp and Burton this is worth the expensive theater ticket! It is not scary, but somewhat creepy with a whole lot of funny. Great 70s music in this too! Alice Cooper is such a rock phenomenon, never aging.

Have a great week! We are actually having perfect weather this weekend in MA. So wonderful! ~Val
