do not adjust your computer...

this really is the thrifty ba!

can you believe how amazing the thrifty looks?

a few weeks ago, i won a free blog makeover from life in the pitts.

(im always telling people to please read her bog-she is hysterical!

and helene draws the BEST pictures...

well, non-star wars pictures anyways)

she put me in touch with shay from dumplin design studio.

and after a quick questionnaire and a few emails back and forth,

we (actually shay) came up with this great new look for the thrifty ba.

i cant tell you how excited i am about this!

im really cute, and italian but i love blogger because im really not all the good with computers.

and we all know blogger is dummy proof.

much like my life.

so thank you pitts and dumplin!

i love my new look!

hey now, you're a rockstar...

remember way back on april 1st, i won from this etsy shop. i choose to get 'rockstar' in this fabric for nate. i just ironed them onto a shirt fromhollby lobby and i was DONE!

he thinks he is a rockstar.

he acts like a rockstar.

at times we cater to his rockstar attitude.

he is living the dream.

(nate told me that he was sitting like rockstars do in this photo. i also couldn't get him to smile, because he said rockstars don't smile. i dont know what drugged up/out rockstar he has been seeing. i dont remember him being allowed to watch 'sid and nancy'.)
