      Melinda: Ha! My friend Kat has the Android too and she’s always grumbling about how unfair it is that iPhone gets everything. Hopefully they get up to speed with this one soon!

        I was wandering around on Instagram, and noticed all these awesome framed posts, and I wanted to know how to do that, I think the fiance thought I completely lost it when I kept saying “WHY ANDROID WHY CANT YOUR APP STORE BE AS COOL AS THE iStore!!!!”

        I love my android nonetheless though, mostly because I use it for office work when I’m out and about :)

    Oh that DIY type is awful! The letters are all cut crookedly and it just looks tacky. What a shame!

    Windows of NY is a great project, thanks for sharing.

      Emma: The beauty of a DIY is that you can take an idea, get inspired and make it all your own. Agreed about Windows of NY, it’s cool when people take the everyday and give it a fresh perspective.
