Sunshine & Lollipops....

Today the weather was crazy.

 I wanted to take pictures of the clouds outside my dorm... unfortunately for most of the day it was dark and stormy.

:(

This is a picture from August.

 Hardly any clouds were in the sky, but I was thankful for the one or two that I did see :)

Basically, I don't love or hate clouds.... I appreciate the shade they provide.

 The End.

Anywho,  I will be posting again tomorrow.

My Wardrobe :)

Today is the 2nd day of my 29 day challenge :)

This post is about what I wear...

Instead of posting about what clothes I wear, I am posting about jewelry and other accessories <3

I bought this hair accessory holder at a yard sale for 50 cents!!!!

It is one of my favorite things. :)

I love to wear bows and headbands, so this is the perfect organizing tool for my dorm room.

I also love to wear necklaces and rings....however, in this picture my favorite necklace and ring are missing because I am currently wearing them. :)

Don't get me wrong....I love clothes...but, I felt that my readers could learn a little bit more about me from these pictures of hair accessories and jewelry. :) 

I mean, how much could you learn about me from pictures of blue jeans and t-shirts???


Thanks for reading!!!!

I'll be posting again tomorrow!

Here are some crazy facts about me for my first blog post in February.... <3

If you were to ask me what fictional character I would want to switch lives with, I wouldn't answer with Elizabeth Bennett from Pride & Prejudice... I would answer with Bilbo Baggins from The Lord of The Rings :)

One of my favorite quotes is....“A room without books is like a body without a soul.” ― Marcus Tullius Cicero

A few of the songs that I would want to be included on the soundtrack of my life would be Sweet Dreams (the Marilyn Manson version), Enchanted by Taylor Swift, & I Won't Back Down by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers :)

Thanks For Reading!

Tomorrow, there will be a new post!!!! :)

Vintage...

So ...Over break I had a bunch of free time.......

 I made a writing journal with some vintage paper and lace :)

It was so easy to make and I write in it ALL THE TIME!

I made it out of an old composition notebook....

Step 1 was to pick out the paper to cover it with and any other accents that I wanted. :)

Then.... I hot glued the paper to the front and back covers of the composition notebook and painted over it with glitter :)

My next step was to glue on some vintage lace....

I punched holes in the front and back cover so that I would have a way to tie it closed :)

It was fun, easy, and inexpensive!

 It's definitely a project that anyone can do!!!

 I can't wait to share more of the crafts that I made while on Christmas vacation!!!! :)))

Second Helpings, Anyone????

 I am officially moved in for my 2nd semester of college. :))))

I am so ready to start my classes and hang out with my suitemates.

Even though I can't wait to start my 2nd semester, I'm glad that I had 5 weeks for Christmas break! :)

Going on Wal-Mart dates with Andrea, making crafts, staying up late, and watching movies with my sister are a few of the things that I did over break....

We have the best time at Wal-Mart!!! :)

I wrapped an old coffee can with vintage paper...My new pencil holder :)

My Christmas break would have been so boring without my sister, she always knows how to make me laugh. Rabecca is my VERY BEST FRIEND :))))

Thanks for reading! I will be posting soon about some of the things I made over Christmas break. That coffee can was just a preview... ;)

A Little Piece of My Heart

Finally!

 My pictures can now be uploaded. :)

It's been a pain, but I'm happy to be blogging again!!

Recently, I had the misfortune of wrecking my most beloved car. :(

1996.

Black.

2 Door.

Dodge.

Neon.

 "The Death Machine"

I loved my little car soooo much.

I owned it for exactly 2 years. :)

I was lucky enough to save a few important items so that it will always be remembered. :)

The Neon Emblem :)

The Dodge Emblem :)

My MUSTACHES that were on the dash :)))

And...my plastic heart that hung on the mirror :)

Although my little car is gone, I am thankful that I wasn't hurt in the wreck :)

Thanks for reading! More blog posts soon to come!!! :)
