Spray paint = love

I have learned the love of spray paint today..
I have painted a total of 14 items.. small or not, that's still 14 things!

Alright.. I'm heading out to put one last coat on and then I promise I'm putting the cans away and backing away.
I'll post later on all the projects I did today.

P.S. JoAnns is having a sale on spray paint.. .97 ..but don't bother going to the one near me because I may or may not have bought them out of the black and white. Just saying.. :)

New Look

As you might have noticed the blog has changed a bit!
I've updated the header.. I actually made this for my class since I have to make a logo for my website that I'm going to make. I thought it was perfect since it's so simple. It was in pink to match the old layout, but things change! :)
I actually have been working with this lime green color for a while now.. maybe because summer is coming along? I think it's an absolutely gorgeous color and now I finally found a layout that works!

So I hope that everyone is enjoying it as much as I am!
I'm trying to figure out HTML to add some tabs and other cute fixes.. we'll see if it happens!

Fashion Friday

The Back-up Plan

I watched this movie last night. I know, I know.. the movie's not even out yet. :)
It's really cute! So much that I'm watching it again right now.



Usually online copies are not that great, but this one is just like it's playing in the movies. Meaning you're not seeing people get up and walk around.. which was perfect! If you want to know where to watch it, let me know below!
I know it's probably not so good to watch these movies online like I do, but it beats paying $10.25 for the admission and then whatever else for the snacks.. I'm all about free!

While I was online today I seen some pretty funny videos.. here they are:

FAU and WKU present Rain Delay Theatre @ Yahoo! Video

If I didn't mention it already, I am now.. I will be starting a website in the near future. I have to create one for class and I think I'm going to use it to sell the things that I make. Once I get it up and running I'll let everyone know!

Are there any suggestions as to what I should add in the shop once I get it going?

My Favorites..

I love when seasons change but sometimes my hair and skin hate it, so here's some of my favorite things that I love using for summer..



I love this stuff. I do use this stuff year round, not every day but maybe every three days. I used something on my face last night and this morning when I took a shower it was burning my face, so I threw this stuff on when I got out of the shower and right away the burning went away. It's not what it's supposed to be used for, but it came in handy.
I love that it's light enough to wear out during the day and at night for bed.



I just bought this stuff last night. I've used deep conditioners before, but I think that I like this one the most. With my job my hair feels horrible when I come home. I can't even run my fingers through it, which I think lets you know how bad it is! All of the dust settles in my hair and there's nothing that I can do.. except use this product!
I also really like the bottle. I love that you just remove the sticker on the bottom and then it's ready to use; squeeze the bottle and it comes right out of the bottom. And it's nice and small to fit in the shower rack with all of my other hair products.



Sephora! Oh you're a beautiful store! I don't make a lot of money, so I can't spend a lot on make up. I love this store though, so I stick with only their products since their pretty reasonably priced. I don't have this actual color, but I am in love with the Black Flame color. It's a perfect color for the smoky eye look.



I also bought this last night as well. I've seen it on so many people and I've loved it ever since. I think it's a perfect color for Spring and Summer. It's bright but not like shockingly bright.. it's called Mint Sprint.



My very last thing that I like right now is this movie. Everyone needs a summer movie to fall for and what's better than getting it early on?! :) I know, Miley Cyrus.. except that it's not so blah. I actually got pretty sad during some parts of the movie.. then again on other parts I was giddy and loving it. I watched it online because I couldn't find anyone that was interested in seeing it. If you're looking for another reason to watch it.. then just look at Liam Hemsworth the whole time..he's worth it.

I'm looking for..

This tank top.
If anyone knows who sells it or where I could find it, please let me know!

Fashion Friday

This is my first time doing a Fashion Friday.
Yesterday was amazingly warm and so it inspired the tank top look for this week.
Keep checking back every Friday to see which new items are being added together.
I hope this is something that everyone likes, if not then let me know below!

Wisteria Gardens

Today for my class we have to create a logo for a topic that was given to us. Out of the topics given I chose to do a florist. When I did my research I wasn't able to find a florist name that I liked, so I did my research on flowers and plants and came up with.. Wisteria, it's a vine.

{source}
Pretty right?

So then I had to come up with a name.. Wisteria's Garden.. Wisteria Flower Shop.. Wisteria Gardens. Ohh.. that sounds like a good one.
Then came the design process. I worked on some thumbnails, but I hate doing them, I would much rather make them on the computer to see colors and to tweak them later. So I tossed my thumbnails aside and went to my computer..



Now I need help deciding on the final design and if anything needs tweaked..
Hope you can help! :)

Keep an eye out for it in the next couple weeks! :)
Thanks for entering even though it didn't happen..

Hurt Locker

Last night my mom and I ordered Hurt Locker on demand. I would recommend it to everyone! I'm not huge into war movies, but this one isn't all about fighting, it's more about their jobs.
Here's the trailer:

It's a job that I know I would not be able to do at all. I don't understand how it can be an every day normal thing for them to have bombs going off. I understand that there are crimes here that are bad enough, but it's definitely hard to watch all of that. Even though it's just a movie, it's still things that are really happening over there.
With my uncle in Iraq it's hard to know that he's probably dealing with some of the things that were happening in the movie. It's a hard movie to watch, but it's hard to stop watching it as well. There were some parts that just really hit hard.
Here's one of them..


To every soldier out there who is away.. come home soon.



The task ahead of you is never as great as the power behind you.

Summer..

In anticipation of summer I created this..

A Perfect Day..

It has ben raining pretty much all afternoon. What's perfect about it is that it's a nice tiring rain that's not loud and what's even better is that we're able to have the windows open, because it's not raining in and it's not all that cold. What is not good about today is that I've been so relaxed all day and have only gotten one assignment done. Right now all I want to do is sleep.
Something that ruined my day was the guy at Office Max. I had to get a design I created printed off for my Type & Image class tomorrow morning. So I went in and asked them to print it off for me, wrote down the file name that I needed because the woman asked if I had shopping to do since they were backed up. So I went around and picked some things up and after I was done (20 minutes later) I went back up to the counter to get my print. The print wasn't done yet.. and my USB drive sat on the counter the whole time while the girl who was took my order just stood there. The guy who was going to print it wasn't even up there, finally he came walking up, asked if I needed something. Umm.. duh, I don't just stand up at your counter for my health. And to top it off he walked up with a coffee cup in hand. Ugh, okay.. So I asked if it was done. Nope. He finally grabbed the drive and took it to the computer to print it, had to ask me which file it was even though I wrote it down on the paper for them to find it. No biggie. So he gets it printed off to show me what it'll look like, it looked good so I told him to print it like that. He printed another copy and gave it to me, well there were ink lines of the top of the print so I told him I couldn't use it. He tried it again with a different printer and it looked fine from a distance. When I looked at it up close you could see all of the pixels. So I told him I couldn't use this one either. He told me that this was the best he could do and I had to choose between having a print with ink on the top or one with pixels all over. Umm.. no way in hell buddy. So I told him I couldn't use either and I asked for my drive back. Of course that changed things. He said he'd try the third printer. So with the third printer I was finally able to get my print with no ink marks and no pixels. And through all of this I had to hear how is basement flooded last year and with the rain he was hoping it didn't happen again this time. Honestly, I don't care to hear about your basement story, just give me my print so I can get out of here. On top of it he tried to send me out the door without a cover to go over my print even though it was pouring rain. Thanks bud.
Here's the print that took an hour to do.. when I probably could have done it at home in 5 minutes.
The topic I chose was Travel.. we had to come up with something (an item or picture) from that topic and make it into text.. I came up with luggage.

Spring Break..

Over Spring Break I worked during the day and did crafts when I wasn't at work. It was a nice relaxing week that was topped off with having family over for Easter. The weather was pretty much perfect!
During the week I took Buckeye down to the park so we could walk and I took my camera because I haven't been getting much use out of it lately. I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to take some photos.. here they are:








That's how my Spring Break went! Now it's on to a hectic schedule for the next three months.. ugh. Which means there probably won't be as many posts.. :(
Until next time..

Funny Story..

Thursday night we went to church. I dressed up like usual and wore heels. When church got wrapped up and we were on our way out into the lobby area a woman was waiting out there who got out before us. She rushed up to me with her cane and said to me, "I LOVE YOUR SHOES!" Whoa woman. Thank you, but did you really need to wait in the lobby just to tell me that? I can't wait for her to see the ones I'm wearing tomorrow morning, I wonder what the reaction will be then!
The only downfall to those shoes were that while standing on them the entire night my feet got numb. Still today, two days later, I don't have much feeling in two toes.. so I don't know if something got messed up while wearing them. Oops. I guess that's the price of wearing cute shoes!

March Projects..

Recently I've been doing crafts like crazy. It's like a release from everything going on in my life. I guess I've been cramming everything into this week because it's Spring Break for me and next week classes start up. I'll be even busier with school and work than I think I've been before. I just keep thinking of Fall 2011.. :) It'll be here soon enough.
Anyways, here's a few things that I've gotten done this week..



First of all there was this cute little bottle that I found at Ikea in the As Is section.. 25 cents! Then I went to the Dollar Tree and bought the smallest Easter eggs I could find and the stuff to make the nest (which the bag you get you can make 20+ nests).. $2. Next I took paint I had on hand (two different shades of blue and one brown) to paint the eggs the color I wanted.
So about $2.25 for this little beauty!
Here's a better shot of the bottle..



I knew I wanted something to hang on my door but now that I'm getting older a typical poster or sign just won't do anymore. I bought a foam wreath, felt, and chipboard and came up with this..



Here I found a really cute frame at the Dollar Tree and painted it to match my room.. then I took a picture from a magazine that I fell in love with and framed it..



Lastly, I found this bright print and an unfinished frame at the Dollar Tree. I painted the frame to match the picture and here's how it turned out. I'm absolutely in love with it!



Now that March has come and gone and April's here there will probably be less craft time. Sadly enough school must come first. I'm pretty proud to say that I pulled out a 4.0 for my GPA this quarter! Whoo hoo!
But before anything happens my room must get finished before hand. There's so much left to put back together. I'll post pictures as soon as it's looking its best.
Hmm.. but now, for an April preview. These little babies are going to go on something..





Any guesses? :)
