not neutral

just finished browsing through not neutral's catalogue last night and found these adorable snowflake garden stakes and tree decorations that would bring so much joy and happiness to me. the garden stakes out in all the strange snow we have out there would really make my day each time i looked out.

and i am also pining over all their dishes! the bare trees, the swirly swirls. just for happiness sake, download the catalogue.

d.i.y. photobooth + photobooth friday

photojojo sent out their newlsetter yesterday with some cool links to photobooth ideas. and i thought in joining the photobooth friday group, i'd post this link for a d.i.y. photobooth tutorial.

if you are one of those people that just have to have a photobooth in their home (i think i know a few) and you're up for the challenge, this little, and i say that loosely, instructable could be just the ticket! happy friday everyone!
