Golden S'mores? More please

Everything is better with gold sprinkles, even s'mores, which I thought couldn't get any better:

Paper garlands

This just reminds me of the turn from spring to summer... Pastels like sherbert, free flying lime ribbons... and best of all, it comes with DIY directions. For your own summer party (or any event), check out www.theprettyblog.com...

Life really is a sweet occassion with yellow balloons

I love yellow balloons. And yellow crayons...
P.S. Isn't the word yellow spelled funny?

"Song of the Open Road"

This poem by Walt Whitman speaks to life, of travels near and far, and of the journeys you go on with the ones you love... I want to share stanza 15 now -

Allons! the road is before us!
It is safe—I have tried it—my own feet have tried it well—be not detain’d!

Let the paper remain on the desk unwritten, and the book on the shelf unopen’d!
Let the tools remain in the workshop! let the money remain unearn’d!
Let the school stand! mind not the cry of the teacher!
Let the preacher preach in his pulpit! let the lawyer plead in the court, and the judge expound the law.

Camerado, I give you my hand!
I give you my love more precious than money,
I give you myself before preaching or law;
Will you give me yourself? will you come travel with me?
Shall we stick by each other as long as we live?
