It's A Tomboy Tuesday

What are little boys made of?
Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails
What are little girls made of?
"Sugar and spice and everything nice

Think again...

Here's to all the fearless females who break the boundaries of stereotypical femininity.
These pictures come from TomboyStyle.

"We went on a weekend drive, after a show I was in at the time. We were on a motorcycle, and there was a carload of friends behind us. It was freezing ass cold. We stopped for a bite to eat, and one of the guys said, ‘Steve, why don’t you let Neile ride with us? I can ride with you. It’s too cold.’ And I said, ‘No, I think I’m just gonna stay on the bike.’ Steve told me later, ‘That’s the moment I fell in love with you.' "—Neile Adams

DIY: Photo Runner For Your Table

Wouldn't this be a cute idea for a party? I'm thinking something along the lines of an anniversary party, small wedding or family reunion. Print out pictures on your computer and stitch, tape or glue them together to make a runner for your table.

It would be a fun conversation starter too!
