Someone on Facebook was selling a huge stack of scrapbook paper for $8. I think there was almost 100 sheets and most of the packs had multiple designs so I jumped on it. They've already used a bunch of these for birthday cards and special "I love you" cards for family members.

Also I made those cupcakes. It was a s'more. I don't even like s'mores and I wanted to bury my face in them.

One of my big reading goals is to read all of the Newbery Classics. I love how most of them deal with nature and are incredibly diverse. Unfortunately this book was about as a dry as a cracker. I made myself finish it just to mark it off my list but otherwise I would have built a bonfire and roasted it.

Remember when I read North and South and I LOVED it and wanted my own beautiful copy? Well I finally got it! It holds a place of honor on my Favorites shelf. I also watched the miniseries which made me fall in love with the story all over again.

I recently discovered Sarah Addison Allen's books and became completely obsessed. When I say obsessed I mean I read every book my library had by her in less than a week. I think there's one more I need to order and after that I will be up to date. Her writing is cheesy, not going to lie, but sometimes you need a little fluff in your life. I read a lot of stiff classics and books where people are killed every other page (hello Game of Thrones book two...) so it was nice to just have a week where I read nothing but happy stories.

And last pretty picture for this post is the new magazine I bought on a whim. I'm not big on buying unread books or magazines since I have the library for that but they grabbed me with Machu Picchu. I wasn't aware until I got it home that it was so expensive... Worth it!
