This was a really fun week! I’m really looking forward to this weekend in San Francisco… that is, if I can get there! They’re calling for a bunch of snow. I just need to get in the air!
I’ve decided to start a weekly photo contest. Basically, every Wednesday, I will let you know what you have to photograph in my Weekly Happiness post. Sometime that day, take a picture and upload it to social media (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are all fine). Be sure to tag me in it, so I definitely see it, and #uncustomaryart. At the end of the day, I will pick my favorite, e-mail you for your snail mail address, and you’ll get a little envelope in the mail from me! It’s pretty simple. (And yes, it’s open to non-US people.)
Today’s challenge is to take a picture of something involving water. Get creative! And without further ado, here is an incomplete list of what’s made me happy this week. Thanks to all of you who were involved.*

What’s on your happy list this week?
Ahh, yay, you started watching New Girl! It’s my favorite comedy show. And did you find “Now That’s Pretty” from Marielle’s post at Magical Daydream? Because I totally did. 😉
I’m not able to make your links work, but I would love to follow them =0)
We love New Girl, too!
I plan to get out and walk every other day this week. Yea!
Your signing skills?
Also, have so much fun in SF!!! Hope you make it there safe and sound!
Con-cat-ulations. Brilliant.
Oh that photo contest sounds like fun! Not sure if I will be able to participate though because I work on Wednesdays until late at night. I look forward to seeing everyone’s entries, though!
I really like Zooey Deschanel (I fell in love with her when I saw The New Guy) but I really can’t get into New Girl- it’s just so over the top I have trouble swallowing it. Which is a shame because I REALLLY want to like it.
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend. You could cut ties with all the lies that you’ve been living. And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand.
LOVE the Try Not Having Kids video- I had to share it with my childfree friends.
Russell Brand is one of my favorite people.
Nipple derailment.
Wonderful web page. Loads of valuable info right here. I’m sending them with a buddies ans in addition spreading within yummy. And of course, thank you so much with your work!
