Wordy Monday

It's MONDAY again!

You know, I love-love Mondays!

I told you I would highlight all the  some of the things I love this month and then tell you how to get it for yourself.

Well, you can all have a Monday and it's free.

Done.

Goodbye.


Just Kidding. You know I am not capable of creating a blog post that short!
God gave me the gift of woooooorrds!
And I intend to use 'em!




That brings me to one of my favorite things ever:
WORDS


language.
any language.
especially Spanish.
when spoken by Superman.
Holy Cow!

Love-love.



Now, this love affair has gone on for a long time. I do not expect it to end any time soon.

Do you love words?

Do they make your heart skip a beat?



It is a little known fact that I have a degree in Linguistics
I do not speak Spanish. yet.
(but I can order a margarita with the best of 'em!)

Most people don't know what Linguistics is. I won't bore you. That's not what you came here for is it? LOL
Let's just leave it at this:

I'm a word nerd.



Just to prove it:





Here are some of the things I like to do with words:



write on the walls

Do not make fun of my circa 1985 wallpaper!  I am too chicken to try to tackle it yet.




use them as art

*check out the spot where I ripped the paint off the wall trying to hang this. :(
Yea, I'm fixing it as soon as I'm done here...




Add words to my pictures. 
(I did not take this photo, nor add the word, just so you know. I paid someone to do these things. And it is COPYRIGHTED...but not the reflection of the fan. You can have that!)

Wanna know where this all began?

I give a large part of the credit to Mary Englebreit. 
I have loved Mary since I was really too young to be into decorating. 
Love her.

Just in case you live in a hole, here is her address: 

Go there and bask in her awesomeness!

Be inspired!

Here are some other sources for you:

(if you don't already know that address, I've got nothin' for ya!)

There are tons of places to get words from. I am currently sort of flirting with the idea of buying a Cri-Cut

Do you LOVE words? Do you have a Cri-Cut?  
How can I justify this purchase? hmm..
help me out here!


Pin It!

What a neat post. I get a little wordy sometimes myself. I wonder if I'm saying too much most of the time. I'll be back to read some more. Totally enjoyed it. Have a great day!
