Dutch Railway Installs a Slide To Get To The Train

It’s officially called a ‘transfer accelerator’ by Dutch railway maintenance company ProRail, but everyone else would say it’s a slide. An awesome slide. Installed next to a stairway at the newly renovated railway station Overvecht in the city of Utrecht, the slide offers travellers the opportunity to quickly reach the railway tracks when they’re in a hurry.

i think every set of stairs needs a slide, its like an escalator but fun and it won’t suck your untied shoelaces into it and kill you n___n

7.  Paper craft will always be so amazing!

8. Love these shoes, they are so colorful and pretty.

9. This huge broach collection! I wish mine was this big.

The Renegade Craft Fair



James & I attended this years Renegade Fair in Los Angeles. There were sooo many cute handmade things to look at. So many different types of jewelry, plush dolls, shirts, paintings, and so much more!


 I loved this jewelry designers display, his jewelry was so cute.


We came across this really unique bus.


Inside, they had DIY projects where you were able to construct your own wooden toys. It was so neat.


As we were leaving we spotted this honda!
I have a very similar car to this!! hmm..ideas...ideas (;

It was extremely hot that day, but it was still fun walking around being in a very inspiring atmosphere. I can't wait for the next fair in Santa Monica!

Happy Birthday Jamesssss!

My boyfriend is now 22 years young!!!
I have pretty much known James all my life. We grew up going to the same elementary school, middle school, and high school but not once did we ever speak to each other, it's weird how that works!
I know I am only a little over a year younger then him but I still feel like time went by so quickly.

James's family & I planned a little surprise party for him yesterday. We were all really surprised that we pulled it off and he knew nothing about it!

He was blind folded in 3 layers, I used a night cap, a piece of cloth, and his hand. 
(I had to make sure he didn't see a thing!)


And then we surprised him!!! Don't you love the look on his face?

After eating some delicious food we sang to him and he had his own personal Harry Potter cake.

I gave James a few things, one being this little invention I made. A while ago, James gave me a bag full of old computer parts so I used the motherboard part of the computer to cut a heart out of. It was a little tough but I used a wire cutter to cut through this beast.

Then I glued some old laptop keys on top of the motherboard and turned it into a key chain! My favorite part of all this was seeing his face when he saw it, it was so cute.


I also got him a car stereo, a "satchel," a book, and I created some fun lollipops for his party.
I love youu Jamess ♥
