So the darling boyfriend is doing some painting tonight and I'm pretty sure that means Ill be waltzing my lil booty to the antique mall.
I always fall in love with furniture- chairs in particular. Hope to find some goodies! Now that I can blog from my phone I'll be sure to post pics later!

The Lone Ranger
Remember how I planted two whole packs of sunflower seeds back in the beginning of summer?
Well, apparently my thumb isn't quite so green. I have one surviving flower. And you better believe I'm pretty darn proud of that thing! It's taller than me now, and is finally starting to bloom. Yay!
(By the way, that is a big fat bumble bee on the left side of the flower... I'm telling you, the seed packet didn't lie when it said Mammoth Sunflowers!)

iBloggin!
Don't get me wrong, I've had an iPhone for a couple years now and generally don't get excited about apps. Really, I don't need my phone to act as an almanac, a shopping buddy and a spin-the-bottle bottle. I'm quite content with texts, email and pandora! But when I stumbled across BlogPress it was lust at first sight!
Since my self-proclaimed MacBook cessation Ive totally disappointed all in the blogging arena. But guess what... I'm back in the ring and I've got my gloves up!
Still working on organizing the scrap room. Broke down and started workin on a mini-book today.
Pinks, reds & grays... I'm thinking a vacation album. Mom & I went to Mazatlan, the colors are reminding me of the old Mexican towns. Very fun! I'd live to get some of my Jamaican pics into a book but those need mire blues, greens & tans. Isn't it funny how colors just fit with certain memories?! What colors remind you of your favorite trips?

I've been completely, 100% slacking these past few weeks. The past three months have been a complete whirlwind. I promise that the weeks were shortened to hours, and a whole month would pass in a matter of days. Argue with me if you'd like but ask any school age child I'm sure they would agree!
Anyways, a lot of big changes have been happening since May and I can't wait to share them! As this summer dwindles down to its final few weeks I hope to be spending a lot more time on this lovely space. I'll give more details soon!

Who is Miss Chelsea?
If you're curious where my blog name came from, you can find that story here.
I'm Chelsea - almost was Carla Ann (a combination of my grandparents middle names - Carl & Ann - but my parents changed their mind on that one!)
I grew up the daughter of a hairstylist and an auto body mechanic. If that doesn't have "hands-on perfectionist" written all over it, I don't know what does.
Truth is, I'm all over the place, I love altering, envisioning, beautifying, fixing, manipulating, exploring, and just plain figuring things out. I sew, I quilt, I scrapbook, I blog, I travel, I read, I shop, I love antiques and most things "old", I enjoy finding a story behind something. Naturally, I ended up in the art field. I'm more of a hands-on kind of gal, but the computer and I get along quite well.
I graduated with a BFA in Visual Communications in May of 2009, and have been working as a graphic designer for a liquor distributor ever since the summer of my junior year of college. There's never a dull moment around the house of booze, and I've learned more than I may ever need to know about bars, cocktails and POS (point-of-sale, not pieces of shi-caca!)
I'm passionate about learning, but not necessarily in the school sense. I can't just sit on a coach watching tv, my mind goes wild and starts yearning for something more... if I see someone planting flowers on HGTV I think "I want to grow sunflowers!" and go buy a packet of seeds. That's what TV does to me... adds more busy-ness to my life!
I've inherited a love of travel. My grandparents have gone all around this great earth, and in my mind it goes hand-in-hand with my desire to learn. I thrive on being completely immersed in a new culture and having to basically "learn your way out".
Much of my personality can be summed up by my astrological sign. I'm a Libra. I have a very critical eye and notice details, comes in handy with a career in the arts, not so much in real life. I pick things apart and over-analyze something to it's death. I always consider the opposing view and others feelings (Probably why I chose yellow as my favorite color as a kindergartner. I don't even like yellow, but I didn't want it to feel left out when everyone else was picking pink and blue and orange!)
To be honest, I started blogging as a prerequisite to graduate (somewhere to show my work, a virtual portfolio) but it has since become something so much more. I love having a space to share me, my thoughts and my life, everything I am and hope to become. I have loved meeting all my "invisible friends" scattered across the country and enjoy being able to look back on everything since I began writing!
