It's the Little Things

I ran across this idea today while reading Kate's Irrelevant. It's Friday - best day of the week - so why not reminisce over what's made me smile lately? Sounds like a perfect plan!

1. My cute cat. She always makes me smile!


2. Heartbeats by The Knife. I discovered this song over on Confessions of a Graphic Design Student and have being playing it ever since. It's got a great beat and a haunting melody - two of my favorite things in a song!



3. These gorgeous hats from Carolyne's Cuties. She's such a talented knitter!


4. The New Year's video by Zooey and Joe, which I first discovered over at Lacey in the City. I'm sure you've already seen it (but click here if you haven't) - so cute!


5. The return of great shows on TV!! Loving Parenthood & Grey's Anatomy especially - they both made me cry this week!


Fore more things to make you smile, check out the Little Things link-up over on Aisle to Aloha! There are a lot of cute things to browse over there!!

    Awe, your cat is soooo cute! I just want to hug her.

    Don't you just love JGL and ZD singing together. They are so cute! I haven't seen (500) Days of Summer, but I've been told it's a great movie.

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].

Looking for a new church

For reasons I won't bore you with, I'll most likely be moving a little closer to school within the next month or two. This prompted me to start church-hunting again, to find something a little closer to where I'll be located. And this, of course, prompted me to start thinking in depth about what helps me decide what churches to try and what churches to stick with once I try them. via Website I must say, a church's website is a pretty huge first impression. If you don't have one... or if it looks like it hasn't been updated since 1992... I most likely won't read far enough to even find out when your service times are. You don't need a flashy, gimmicky site either (in fact, I'd prefer you didn't), but please make sure to list services times, directions, ministry and education opportunities, and also names and emails/phone numbers of people I can get in contact with in case I have more questions. Also, it is super helpful to have some phot...
