Trying to be crafty again....

Well since I have joined Pinterest, I have seen so many crafts that I want to try. So, I decided to take a few things that I have seen and combined them together. I had fun doing this, and it made me want to become crafty again, since it has been a little bit since I have crafted.
So to make this rather simple craft, you need:
-Cardboard letter (of your choosing) (I got mine at Hobby Lobby for $2.50)
-Dot Confetti (Hobby Lobby $2.00) There was a whole bunch of colors, I got a combo of black and white with different sizes
-Hot glue or any type of glue, (I used a glue stick)
-Lacquer spray

Make a pattern with the dots if you have more than one color (I tried doing a checker board, didn't really work like that but it looks awesome).
Make sure you glue each dot on separately, they will stay on better then putting a strip of glue down.
Once you have covered the amount of letter you want to with dots, spray the lacquer on the help keep the confetti on, and it even adds a little shine. It would be fun to add glitter to it at this point depending on what you want to use it for.
If you want to hang it, staple ribbon to the top, or back, it adds that much more too it!
So it really is super easy, and ANYONE can do it! I promise you!

What being in college has taught me

I know I have been terrible at writing on my blog the past couple of months. School has engulfed my attention and honestly blogging has been the last on my priority list. I wanted to write blog about my college experience... since I graduate in 53 days. I am thrilled beyond words to be this close to being done. I had know idea it would feel like this nor that it would come so soon. In just a few short months I will be able to call myself a graduate of Health Promotion and Education with an emphasis in Community, also being eligible to become CHES (Certified Health Education Specialist) certified. Wow what a mouthful! Being in college was not like I expected, it was much more. I have been through the worst of worst and the best of best experiences. I would like to share with you what I have learned in the past four years (From beginning to end), I hope you can get a good laugh about it. To those who have yet to start college, I strongly encourage you to start thinking about going. You w...

One of my favorite walls

There have been times that I come home from work or other places, exhausted, frustrated, and uneasy. I have always been a home body and love the comfort I get when inside. When I was preparing to move out when I got married I dreamed of decorating my own place, of hanging my own pictures, of designing the way my furniture was set up. Since I have been married almost one year, I never realized that I have one wall in particular I love to look at. It is in my bedroom, the wall opposite of where our bed sits. I see this wall as I wake up, go to sleep, start and end my day. It's not that big of a deal, and it's actually quite bare, but there are 3 things on there that I love. The first thing is a picture of my husband and I (one that I put together with the lyrics to our first dance), on our wedding day, dancing to our song, "Breathe" by Angels and Airwaves. This picture brings back the giddy feeling of being in a room full of people and the only person I had any knowl...

LIFE.

Hello friends and family! It has been so long since I have posted. Let me tell ya, mama hood takes a lot of time, which I am so grateful for. However, I had a spare minute (literally, Evie is napping right now) where I wasn't doing anything. Which quite honestly is very rare . I don't even know where to start on updates. So bare with me as this literally might be word vomit with no sense of order. First and foremost, we are HOME OWNERS! It was quite the whirlwind getting moved and settled in, but after about a month of rearranging, organizing, getting new things, our house is now a home. Going from a small two bedroom duplex to a 4 bedroom+living room+big kitchen+office+basement+3 bathrooms, we had to do some splurging. We will probably have empty rooms for a while, but sometimes it's nice to go sit in those empty rooms and escape the piles of things that are starting to appear. I still have lots to do, but I going to be ambitious and build (with my Dad and probably Gran...

Life as we know it...crazy!
