I love these posters from BluLima...so simple, but they each have just the right punch.

The popular Keep Calm and Carry On print...did you know that the slogan is originally from posters created by the British Government in August of 1939 to be used in times of "crisis or invasion"? 

The Get Wellies Soon screen print is too cute for words.

This Let Them Eat Cake poster made me giggle...

How cute is this Cha Cha Cha poster?

Thanks to Ashley for posting the Get Wellies Soon print on her blog and 'introducing' me to BluLima!

(Please excuse the glare)

I am in love with the map/artwork of Hamburg, Germany that I found in the basement (Yes, I go "shopping" in the basement...my parents have some really cool things that are just sitting down there and aren't being used)...
The ship is actually the ship that my parents had their wedding reception on - I like that it has some family background to it too.

Can you guess who this is?

How about this one?

The past two weeks were so stressful...and my room showed it. When I have a lot to do I tend to let other things slide...such as the maintenance of my room.

Case in point (please disregard the awful pictures):

This is how I allowed my room to look like for over two weeks. Finally I got sick of it. Roughly eight hours and a deep cleaning later my room now looks like this:

All the pillows are where they belong and my sofa bed is back to being a sofa (Yes, I know I need a rug...we're working on it).

My closet was awful too. I could not believe how long it took me to clean it out!

Now:

You can actually see the floor and all the boxes I hadn't unpacked yet are unpacked!

This was quite an undertaking...but I'm definitely glad I did it. Now I think twice before I dump clothes on the floor when I remember how long it took me to get my room the way it is now!
