Love/Hate Relationship

Ahhh Netflix. I have such a love/hate relationship with you. I love that you lend me movies with no expiration date. I hate that once I get said movies in the mail, they seem to sit on my coffee table for a month, taunting me.

Why is that, I wonder? Is the thought of watching a movie more appealing that actually sitting down to watch it? Or maybe I was in a different mood when I picked these out and then when I got them, the mood changed?

These particular movies are for my journey through the movies of my youth. Considering that I'm still watching my way through 1979 (the year I was born), none of these movies are actually familiar to me yet. That could have a lot to do with it in this case, I'm sure. It's always more interesting watching a movie that I've actually heard of and have been anticipating to see.

But today's the day! I vow to myself that I will watch these and mail them on. My coffee table needs to breathe a little without the weight of movies-demanding-to-be-watched weighing down on it.

I stumbled across a completely fascinating artist today, Stephanie Kubo . Her portfolio doesn't state if she's a working designer, illustrator, etc, but her work is exquisite so I think she fits the bill for including in my Meet a Designer series. Enjoy! (Linking up with Kristen Victoria ).

DIY Art Journal

Hi, my name is Linda and I am a 25 year old law student living in Manhattan. I blog over at My Passion Is... about my life, scrapbooking, DIY crafts, photography, exploring NYC & more. I am honored to be sharing a post with you today on Jen's blog, so thanks for having me! I recently completed a mini album that I made out of a pasta box so I wanted to share a tutorial with you so you could make your own! What you need: empty pasta box [I used a whole foods penne pasta] scrapbook papers & embellishments a single hole punch sturdy tape [like packaging tape] a paper cutter and/or scissors some sort of binding, either binding rings or ribbon First, you are going to flatten out your pasta box. Then you are going to cut it down to two 6x6 squares [or whatever size album you want to make].
