Hey! before you read on, follow me on tumblr!

when you read the title you may say to yourself “but Leah… it’s not Christmas yet!” well… its official. Christmas is in a month. time to start the countdown. SIMPLY HAVIN A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS TIME.
 
Christmas is my favorite time of the year. the sweaters and coats, the hot tea (even though i drink that year round), the snow. what am i thinking. we dont get snow in North Carolina. it looks just like it does in fall in the winter here. lame, right. but regardless of the snowless streets, i always want to smile. “i just like to smile, smilings my favorite.”
 
most of all, Christmas is that little reminder of how much God loves me. Happy early bithday, Jesus. ♥
 
~30 days~

hey you! it would be much appreciated if you followed me on tumblr!

oh goodness, it was good to make a set. very relaxing. <3
 
its official. Christmas is in like, a month... aahh. so crazy. i cant believe this year is almost over. its insane. ive been listening to Christmas music all week. its swell. i feel warm inside. <3 Jars of Clay's version of Little Drummer Boy = genius. i love it.
 
not much is going on on my end of the boat. if thats even the saying... getting distracted because Survivor is on. //
 
three songs to buy on itunes this week:
1. "white days" by the lighthouse and the whaler
2. "clipping" by mutemath
3."four leaf clover" by badly drawn boy

Till the end of time- DeVotchka// love this song <3 makes me want to spin gracefully in a field as a man in a white suit throws confettii on me.
 
eh. this set was in my drafts for a while. its aight. :P

dont you hate it when grown adults dont know how to eat with their mouth closed? yeah, me too.
 
well that was a positive way to start off.
 
anyways. hey friends. just wanted to make a somewhat nice set with some RL photos of myself. you like? i like.
 
my day of birth was on the 19th. :-) it was brilliant. 15 is a grand age. well... i would say more but my dad is rushing me because he wants to watch Scream 3.
 
Scream marathon, babeeh. yeah bruh. yer jealous. muahaha. :-)

That awkward moment when everyone else has stopped laughing, and you’re the only one who still thinks that it’s hilarious.
 
ANYWHO. hey friends. remember those days when i made sets? im going to bring those days back. and this time i mean it with all my heart.
 
its october! my birthday is in a couple weeks. c: i hope i get a birthday set this year. no one has ever made me a birthday set. SO, if you would like to be the first, my birthday is on the 19th. ;D
 
October always makes me happy because its fall and fall gives me that calm feeling where you want to sit around a campfire in an ugly oversized sweater while you listen to acoustic music as the smell of the leaves surrounds you. doesnt that sound grand?
 
i've had the urge to go thrift shopping for ages now. it's been a while and i need some more unique clothes. if only i had money...
 
anyways. im kind of having writers block now. have a dandy evening c:

well this was fun to make. im feeling quite dandy today. life is good.
 
im trying to get back into making a set everyday... i feel that its somewhat.... for lack of a better word, therapeutic. its like art. just get your feelings out by making a set. it calms me and it tests my patience at the same time... yeah, it's therapeutic.
 
well kiddos... im gunna go drink some tea. let me know what you think. encouragement is always good for me... it inspires me to keep going :) Lator Gators!

hey loves!!! i havent made a set in 98492987340591 years! i dont think i realized how much i missed making sets until... well until i made this crap. btw those are RL photos of me ^^ (: theyre kinda new. enjoy and use if you please.
 
so... i think im gunna make this a blog monologue type thing....
 
i get to see my swell Philmont friends on August 19th. my family is hosting another concert and we, as in me and the 'Mont fellas are quite stoked!! i love encouraging those guys. and i love that i get to personally know them! if you havent heard their music before, i think that you should maybe get your butt over to youtube and look them up! ;)
 
lately people have been labeling me as a so called "hipster". maybe its because i go against the norm and anything mainstream and all i do everyday is listen to unknown indie/alternative bands? who knows. ive been quite interested in the "hipster" style and culture recently. ive been researching and what not, trying to find out what a hipster really is and ive realized that the definition of a hipster is pretty much my life. i guess thats why ive been labeled as a hipster! i really dont like to label myself though...
 
welps.... if you read all this, which im sure most of you didnt, comment "BREATHING FOR ME".... its the song i was listening to as i typed all this. haha. later gators!

happy summer my lovelies. :3
its been a while since ive made a real set. i really like the way this turned out.
im so happy that summer is finally HERE.!! time for me to hit the beach in a couple weeks!!
i hope you all like this. now imma go watch America's Got Talent. love you all, mwaah. kaybye. :)

some new RL pics of me for my lovelies.
awwe yeaah!
i took them today cuz.... well i was bored out of my mind. D:
i hope you guys like them!

well hey.
i've been a dork muffin and haven't made a set in over a month. crazy.
i don't get on poly much anymore... hm. anyway.
 
i'm on spring break right now. we came to indiana to visit family and friends for the week. i was born and raised in indianapolis until i was nine and we moved to north carolina a little over 5 years ago. the only good thing about north carolina is that it is home of the one and only band called Philmont, whom i myself may see this friday in indiana. aaaaaanywaaaays.
 
i went shopping today with my cousin. found some really great deals at PacSun (my favorite store on the planet) which i had a $25 gift card to. i was excited(: shopping is just a great way to get some excercise and to wear you out so you can go to bed early xD i love sleep.
 
ive realized that i like to sleep more now than i did when i was younger. maybe cuz im a teenager and thats how we teens roll? who knows. all i know is that i love me some sleep. im not one of those people who will stay up until 4 in the morning, i like to go to bed and acctually get real sleep.
 
so i just recently got my first pair of TOMS shoes about a week or two ago, and i must say they are quite comfortable. i suggest that if you need a good pair of casual, comfy shoes, buy yourself a pair of TOMS. not only will you get some of the best shoes you've owned, but it's a good cause and a kid in another country that doesn't have shoes will get a pair. wear some of those half socks with them though. so they wont get stinky. ;D
 
aaaanywaaaays. sorry for the long blog-ish monologue thing. fave and comment(:
 
if you read all of my babbling, comment "owls are cool"
