Simplicity.

I want simplicity. Burning, crashing noise in my ears, screaming shouting laughing dancing. Fluorescent high school lights blinking bleak upon my head. Boys who aren't who you thought they'd be. Friends who create too much drama. Homework that drains any strength left over. I want it all back. I want the art, the color, the life. I miss the joy.

Let's be friends, you and I. Let's dance through crisp fall fields in Wellington boots, holding hands and wishing for snow. Let's listen to Christmas carols through scratched headphones and carve independence into our journals with every pen stroke.

Sometimes things that you wish for are nothing like you thought they'd be, and you end up thanking the universe a million times over that they didn't work out. Otherwise you would be lost, and those things would be tearing you apart, had they worked out. I'm glad I lost you. I learned my lesson.

I want peppermint candy exchanges between friends in the hallway. A fresh new journal filled with collages. I miss writing. I miss art. I miss being free.

I want simplicity.

Sprinkle Diary's First Birthday! 1 Year Anniversary!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BLOG!!!

I can't believe it, kids. Today is my little journal's first birthday.
I cannot even begin to thank all of you, each and every single one of you, for reading my blog, day after day, week after week, month after month. I would be nothing without you beautiful kiddos. This blog has brought me so much joy, friendship, opportunity, and happiness. Over the course of the year, I've developed friendships with girls like you, all around the world, some of which include very talented young artists and photographers who I've been lucky enough to see get more & more famous with each day. I've gotten birthday wishes and packages from Italy to Australia, England to Japan, Switzerland to France! I've gotten the amazing opportunity to write for several magazines, & have been interviewed a few times on my blog. All of this stated not to brag, but to thank all of YOU for making it even possible! All of you are like international sisters to me, and I love you all. Thank you for making my first year as spectacular as it has been, and lets hope the second is even better!

I thought it would be appropriate to perhaps think about my goals for the year to come. Here goes nothing... I want to build even stronger relationships with those of you who I have already become friends with, and get to know those of who that I don't know! I want to keep writing, more and more, and improve my skills. I want to practice everything; How-To articles, short stories, tips and tricks, etc. I want to inspire you every single day, but to really do it. To make you feel liberated and free, ready to tackle the world with each word you read. I hope to make an impact. I want to make more art to share, restock my etsy shop, try new mediums. But mostly, I just hope for an amazing year with all of you by my side!

So I just wanted to thank you, readers. This one is for you. Without my fabulous, excellent, radiant, ultra-fabulous readers, I would be absolutely nothing! So merci beaucoup, darlings. Treat yourself today. Go out, have a cupcake, wear polka dotted rainboots, try on some glitter hairspray! Do whatever it takes to celebrate life, love, & the divine fact that you are faaaaaaabulous. Enjoy, kittens.
Thank you, xoxo,

I'm afraid I'm in a creative slump. Every time I sit down to write, I cannot think of anything. I just can't even find the inspiration to write a blog post! I've talked to several bloggers who feel the same way right now, I'm sure its just the dreary weather, though I love it. Anyway, what I'm asking of you, readers, is simply, what do you want to read? What should I write about? Any how-to questions you need answered? Stories you want written? What inspires YOU? Please comment, or email me at sprinklethefairy@live.com. For now, I suppose I'll just make a list.

I'm currently wearing the creamiest white cardigan & dreamcatcher necklace from South Dakota. I'm reading the Secret Memoirs of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. I'm wishing for love to come along. I should be doing my art homework & practicing for tomorrow's debate. I'm addicted to chocolate and pepperoni, not together of course. I cannot wait till the Christmas season. I want it to snow more than anything. I'm still trying to forget about that certain boy. I'm piecing together my Hallowe'en costume, for which I will be dressing up as Frenchie from Grease. Pink hair and all. I am smitten with indie love movies & the wardrobe of Raj on The Big Bang Theory. I cannot get my mind off Chicago. I am excited about joining Last.Fm. I can't stop watching Tegan & Sara interviews on Youtube (How cute & funny are they?!). I felt like making a list to catch you up. Not that you care! ;)

Sorry for the rubbish post, but I wanted to share these cute as can be outfits! I've been browsing Hel Looks as of recently, & have fallen in love with this little aesthetic. I love these girls and their stockings, boots, high-waisted skirts with tees tucked in, and comfortable jackets. Its just such a perfect look for winter. I think I'm going to start working towards piecing things together like this. How adorable! What wardrobe items are you excited about working this winter?

I protected my tweets!

Hey kids, there were some serious creepety-creepers following me on Twitter, & I decided to just go ahead & protect my tweets. I know last time I did this, some of you became worried, but just to let you know, I still have an account, and all you have to do is request to follow me, & ka-ching! Back to normal. Still @sprinkleton! http://www.twitter.com/sprinkleton.
Thank you for your patience!
