Have a break!

Last night I went in the kitchen, my mum was cooking dinner and when she looked at me she asked if I was alright, I sighed and said that my head ached a little and her reply was "It was about time! It hurts just because you never use it". Thank you mum <3 Anyway, enough studying for today!

I've wanted to post this pictures since weeks, so I'll take a quick break and finally do it!
The 6th January I had lunch at Max's place and I decided to make some cake balls. It was my first attempt, as you can see.. they came out "kinda" ugly (mostly because of the stupid recipe I used >_> ) but they were yummy :9

Next picture shows the presents I received this Christmas! I love the monster backpack a friend brought me from Korea and the vinyl bag too! It has pockets to put photos inside, I can't wait to use it!! Still have to chose and print the photos though. I also got a couple of CDs of my favourite bands: "No line on the orizon" and "Dum spiro spero". My babies <3

Last thing for today! Check out this idea by Dana made it: a Journal jar full of prompts to write about. Nice, isn't it?

Inspired organization

Hi people!
It's been a while, isn't it? Mmeh I've been busy studying for the tons of exams I've to do *sighs*. 3 weeks are gone, 2 left, I can do it! I feel tired and I'd like this day to end to crawl in my confy bed and sleep until next month, but I still have a volley training to do today *headdesk*.
Sorry the negativity, it's just been a long day.. and it's not over yet xD
Anyway lately, more than ever, I noticed that a good distraction from all the numbers and the economic notions is the colorful and inspiring world of diy. I really feel refreshed every time I watch at my RSS reader! In particular I saw many posts on the various blogs I spy about new year resolutions and seems like the "get more organized" one is very popular.
Now, I won't tell you about the condition of my room, it's a shame, really, but right now I don't have the time to make things properly, so err.. I try to be careful and not step on anything ^__^"
But! I heard from my folks that they want to move my current closet in another room, replace it with a new one and add a dresser. This means more space for my craft supplies and for being actually organized! YAY!!
And, talking about organization, I gathered my favourite posts about the topic and I'd like to share them here.

Some ideas for the house..
