So I've been super lazy and busy and my internet hasn't been wanting to work. So that's why I haven't posted anything. I did finish all of my Christmas DIY presents and everyone loved them. I had a great Christmas and New Year with my friends and family. I did have to work on Christmas day but I actually really enjoyed it for some reason. So since I last updated a lot happened....I finished all of my moms stocking stuffers for Christmas. I made some great orange sugar scrub that she loves. It was super simple to make. Recipe from <a href="http://www.thesweetestoccasion.com/2012/07/homemade-body-scrub/">thesweetestoccasion.com</a>. They made lemon but I decided to do orange instead. Here's all of her stocking stuffers...<br />

DIY tutorial comes from <a href="http://wendysheafferphotos.com/2012/08/30/photo-wood-transfer-tutorial/">Wendy Sheaffer Photography</a>. It's pretty simple and uses minimal materials. I took a couple pictures of my process but didn't get the whole thing and they were taken on my phone so I'm not gonna post them. I've made another sign like this before for my bff and her husband for their wedding gift. I used one of their engagement photos that I had taken for them and personalized it. They ended up loving it and really I don't think you can go wrong with using this process for gifts. I need to make one for myself now (:</div>

That's it for today. Not sure how much I'll be posting from now on. Hopefully I will every week but we shall see. Have a good evening internet!</div>

Anyway.....I've been very busy this week. Crafting, shopping, decorating, wrapping....all the fun stuff.<br />
<br />
So last year I had mentioned to my dad that this year I would like to get a real tree. We used to get them when I was little and I thought it would be fun to have one again this year after so many years of having a fake one. So I had planned on Sunday for us to go and get one, but alas the weather decided to ruin my plans and when I woke up on Sunday it was snowing. And my dad was convinced that we would just set up the old tree. But I was not having that. So I decided to go ahead and decorate without a tree and wait to see what would happen the rest of the day. But of course I had to improvise until we got a tree.... <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

then finally, it decided to stop snowing and I got my way!<br />

It's huge and beautiful and I couldn't be happier. Haha.<br />
<br />
So this year I decided making sharpie mugs and putting little mug cake starter kits in them would be a fun gift to give to my friends. It's personal and it's cake. What more could you want. I've done several sharpie mugs before and have used the same tutorial for all of them. This one is from <a href="http://www.scribblesfromemily.com/2012/07/tutorial-dishwasher-safe-sharpie-mugs.html">Scribbles from Emily</a> and it's fairly simple and allows you to wash the mug in the dishwasher, which is great. Except I'm too afraid to wash them in the dishwasher because I don't want them to get ruined. Haha. But it at least lets you wash them without the sharpie getting ruined. So here's how I did it:<br />
<br />
Materials:<br />
Mug<br />
Oil based Sharpies (very important. I bought mine individually from AC Moore for about 3 dollars each)<br />
Print out or drawing of your choice<br />
Lead pencil<br />
scissors <br />
tape<br />
oven<br />
<br />
So first I got a mug. I bought this one from Big Lots for I think a dollar and it's perfect for the Wicked theme I'm going for...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijkqsLus7iczIJBsI1LhBI4-O7Utc2HWQOQ4t76oxU1TyS8A1h1kfoiAdJifd2wOjTv3caTEFzMBFf5_UIhMLepQNd-QZfh7qno2FTKPizKU8DM7tb1KLrlYDK53K2cEAPNcQw42CiBIj1/s1600/photo+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijkqsLus7iczIJBsI1LhBI4-O7Utc2HWQOQ4t76oxU1TyS8A1h1kfoiAdJifd2wOjTv3caTEFzMBFf5_UIhMLepQNd-QZfh7qno2FTKPizKU8DM7tb1KLrlYDK53K2cEAPNcQw42CiBIj1/s400/photo+4.jpg" width="300" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and the sharpies... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFjQXmGxv9L35LxWjp1z1Lf9AzHs1WZRYBuEwf47lKQPKfp6jQUO5PHh8WdLkcVM050keqr17xe1HCtQjqFbWxWiqIzruuQBJ_wRI7nRUALhhCwN7s9-ZYWwS_Tpb1IPDrctdq0QaH24Bg/s1600/photo+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFjQXmGxv9L35LxWjp1z1Lf9AzHs1WZRYBuEwf47lKQPKfp6jQUO5PHh8WdLkcVM050keqr17xe1HCtQjqFbWxWiqIzruuQBJ_wRI7nRUALhhCwN7s9-ZYWwS_Tpb1IPDrctdq0QaH24Bg/s400/photo+5.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
then I just found the artwork that I wanted and printed them out in the right size for the mug and cut off the excess paper. You could also draw whatever you wanted too...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbMAGrYTr5gWnbO90pRqWcka5_ydXX9F9N1Tu3PyglfsBD6QrDhgW5sbf3W9oiyr_h-gYw4wLCUB6Lcy0blUGtUsaJ_zeL4q3KBjJa2UKLDrGxOGDBrBmSSJVWyhds3f_q9j2P8ts6WBI1/s1600/photo+1-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbMAGrYTr5gWnbO90pRqWcka5_ydXX9F9N1Tu3PyglfsBD6QrDhgW5sbf3W9oiyr_h-gYw4wLCUB6Lcy0blUGtUsaJ_zeL4q3KBjJa2UKLDrGxOGDBrBmSSJVWyhds3f_q9j2P8ts6WBI1/s400/photo+1-5.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
then I took my lead pencil and colored the back of my image so that it would transfer onto the mug..<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfC3c1U_kvrSHlared9IF8k1tvaMuXskEBkplSfNSHbxrmWJbaFZkxd3n7VmAQDMR3cWGR0RjdiiXD_P-dE6F-Px-nWvsCxilyGJo8Iltke1qNSQMkutmZ6P0d8LpCikE9Iy6ItedZQ0_A/s1600/photo+2-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfC3c1U_kvrSHlared9IF8k1tvaMuXskEBkplSfNSHbxrmWJbaFZkxd3n7VmAQDMR3cWGR0RjdiiXD_P-dE6F-Px-nWvsCxilyGJo8Iltke1qNSQMkutmZ6P0d8LpCikE9Iy6ItedZQ0_A/s400/photo+2-5.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
then I just taped the print out where I wanted it on the mug...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

and then traced over it...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I did the other side of the mug also but it was a little more intricate than the letters. So then you need to let your sharpie dry on the mug for at least 24 hours. And don't let it fool you. It will seem dry in a couple minutes but wait because if you bake it now the sharpie will flake off later. I learned my lesson on that the first time because I'm super impatient about finishing things. So after you've let it dry the baking step comes in. So what you're going to do first it set your mug into the oven without turning it on...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

then set your oven to 350 degrees...<br />

and let your mug warm up with the oven. And then when the oven is at the right temperature set your timer for 30 minutes and let it bake, then when time is up turn off the oven but leave the mug inside and open your oven door just a tad and let it cool down before taking it out. And then you're done!<br />

I decided I wanted to add a little something extra with this gift and include a little mug starter kit with just the dry ingredients. The recipe comes from <a href="http://www.thenovicechefblog.com/2013/02/chocolate-peanut-butter-mug-cake/">The Novice Chef</a> and it is by far the best mug cake I've ever had. Seriously. And it's soooo easy it's ridiculous. So I just took a bag and added all the dry ingredients....<br />

So the next gift I made is another one for my moms stocking, and it's super simple. I just bought cork coasters from Walmart for around 4 dollars and took some masking tape and paint and went to town...<br />

So that's it for this week! I've still got a good bit to do before Christmas comes! A couple more DIY's and lots of cookies to make and some partying to do! Heck yeah! Hope you enjoyed these DIY's for today!<br />

I am also in charge of picking out things for my moms stocking. Now stocking stuffers can get expensive. Last year I set a budget of twenty dollars for stocking stuff and spent that and probably more. I tried not to think about it. Which is a bad idea. So this year I decided, hey I'm crafty. Why don't I just make all the stocking stuffers? And that is exactly what I'm doing. So after scouring the internet and Pinterest for ideas, I've picked out a handful of super easy and super cheap stocking stuffers to make. And today I am going to show you how to make two of them. Today I made DIY Garden Markers and I got the idea from <a href="http://witandwhistle.com/2011/04/19/diy-garden-markers/">Wit and Whistle</a>. They are super duper easy to make. Took me 20 minutes or less to make them and I didn't spend any money on them. So here's how to do it:<br />
<br />
Oh and I took all these pictures with my phone because I was too lazy to get the camera out so I apologize if some of them look like crap. <br />
<br />
Supplies:<br />
clay (you could use whatever kind you want. I just used some that I had. The tutorial that I followed used Polymer clay)<br />
butter knife<br />
letter stamps<br />
rolling pin (or regular round glass for making them flat)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
So I started out with regular clay. I got this for Christmas like years ago. It doesn't really have any directions on it on how to treat the clay afterwards. It just says to let it air dry and that you can paint it so I'm just going to let it dry and hope for the best. I may look into sealing it later.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
First, I took of a little hunk of the clay and just rolled it into about a 1 inch ball.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
then I rolled the ball out into a little log and flattened it...<br />
<br />

<br />
which I did by just rolling it out with a regular little round glass. which you could use a rolling pin. I didn't have one.<br />

then I cut one of the sides of all of them with the back of a butter knife<br />

The next DIY that I did today was a little Monthly Desk Caledar. It was also pretty simple. It did take me a couple of hours to make but again I didn't spend any money on it. I just used the supplies that I had.<br />
<br />
So first I made all the individual months. I just used a little mini scrapbooking pad that I had so I didn't have to cut anything. This took the most time to do but just be creative and have fun with it...<br />

after painting it I started the assembly. I just taped the stand to where I wanted it so that it would hold and then I punched holes in the top of the stand in the same place as I did on the paper. Then I threaded string through all of the pages and stand and viola!...<br />

This post will be short since I'm stuffed and lazy tonight. No DIY's this week again. BUT, I should have something for next week. We shall see. I made some awesome cupcakes yesterday that were a hit at dinner today. They're Apple Beer Cupcakes that are made with Angry Orchard beer which is my favorite. I got the recipe from <a href="http://bsugarmama.com/apple-beer-cupcakes/">Brown Sugar</a>. It's fairly simple and the cupcakes turned out great...<br />

I had a great time on my trip. We had a lot of fun and I really enjoyed the time I got to spend with Joseph and his family. We went to the Renaissance Festival which was awesome as always and we went to The Lazy 5 Ranch which is like a zoo but you drive around in your car and feed the all the animals which is something I've never done before. Flying there and back was interesting as usual. And of course I always have to take the normal "out the window airplane picture"....<br />

So nothing special about this post, just a little update. I'm packed and ready to fly to NC tomorrow and I'm super excited. I'm planning on taking lots of pictures so when I come back I'll definitely be posting those. I don't have any DIY's for this week. I was mainly focused on work all week and getting ready for this trip. It did snow a good bit on Tuesday which I was not ready for AT ALL...<br />

and also my brother shot a bear! Which for no one that knows, is a pretty big thing for a hunter. Bears are very hard to hunt and there are a lot of rules to it. So that was a very exciting thing for our family, and for me because I got to see it up close which was really cool...<br />

Just a normal week of work. I am excited for next week though because I get to go to North Carolina to see my boyfriend, Joey, and his family for our second anniversary! Yay! Last year for our anniversary we went to the Carolina Renaissance Festival which is really awesome, and we are planning on doing the same thing this year which I'm really excited about.<br />
<br />
I have a really hard time buying gifts for Joey. I don't know what it is, but all the men in my life are extremely hard to buy for except for my nephew who likes pretty much anything you would get for him. I've learned that buying clothes is a bad idea because no matter what it is they won't wear it. I've bought multiple shirts for my dad, my brother, and my boyfriend and have yet to see any of them wear them. Haha. So when it comes to getting stuff for my boyfriend I usually try to make something because I know that he will like it a lot more and will want to keep it. Last year for our anniversary I made him a little photo book with all of the pictures we had taken together that year. For me pictures are important because we are in a long distance relationship and when I'm away from him, pictures are really the only way I can see him. Fortunately last year I took pictures of the little photo book that I made him last year. I used a tutorial from another blog on this project also. It's from <a href="http://www.papervinenz.com/2012/03/this-and-that-mini-album-plus-tutorial.html">PaperVine</a>. It's very simple and only uses one sheet of paper! I also included cute little sayings in with the pictures for something extra.<br />

So this year I decided I wanted to do the same thing, make something with all of the pictures we've taken together this past year. I decided on this little DIY from <a href="http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/01/guest-diy-with-silje-from-little-bird-crafts-.html">Little Bird Crafts featured on A Beautiful Mess</a>. It's super simple. I didn't take pictures of the process so if you would like to know how to do it just click the link above...<br />

I think I was about two years old.... <br />

I was Tinkerbell and my brother if you can't tell was a spider. Haha. <br />
<br />
So I didn't have any grand plans for Halloween. I went to my bff's house and we watched Rose Red and ate pizza and brownies. Just like we used to do in college (:<br />
<br />
I did however complete another DIY off of my list this week. Found this idea on Pinterest of course from another blog <a href="http://onedaywhenihavetime.blogspot.com/2009/03/mothers-day-gifts.html">Onedaywhenihavetime</a>, where they took a little tin and turned it into a jewelry box. It has some basic directions, but I just loosely based mine off of their idea using an Altoid tin instead. I thought this would be a great thing to make to use for when I travel. So here's the tutorial, hope you enjoy:<br />

<br />
So I started out with a regular old Altoid tin...<br />

I decided I wanted to strip the paint off of it which ended up being harder than it sounds. You could totally save yourself a lot of time and just leave the paint on because later you will cover most of it up anyway, but of course I had to be stubborn and it took a lot longer than I expected. Anyway if you do decide to strip the paint off I recommend good old Citristrip Stripping Gel. It's safe to use indoors, but just be careful of getting it on your skin. If you do wash it off because it could burn your skin. And as always use your common sense and take any other necessary precautions (: <br />

I found scratching some of the paint off first with a penny helped get the bulk of the paint off and helped the Citristrip work faster.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started with the Citristrip by just sort of globbing it on with a paint brush and letting it sit for a little while.... </div>

and then rubbed the paint off with my paintbrush.</div>

for the back hinges I just cut out little notches of my paper to make it fit.<br />

I decided I would stay inside and do this...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

seems like a good idea right?<br />
<br />
But then I got a little bored so I decided I should do something contsructive and pick something off my list of fun things to do and settled on making over a t-shirt I've been planning on doing for awhile. It was super fast and easy to do, so here's the tutorial. Enjoy:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-JixKUjam4Cilxuaqcu3MbdCfNZ-CicSiMvK4nfzoa8PTHBjUu0YGAQpCKqFK5Pk7ti6VLWxW_YQXES59gLoKbf_VyfZOLYy0dLFfOzZVM-egFbD5f8a1PcZLtjnfD0sOFr4tYE170wKy/s1600/tshirt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-JixKUjam4Cilxuaqcu3MbdCfNZ-CicSiMvK4nfzoa8PTHBjUu0YGAQpCKqFK5Pk7ti6VLWxW_YQXES59gLoKbf_VyfZOLYy0dLFfOzZVM-egFbD5f8a1PcZLtjnfD0sOFr4tYE170wKy/s640/tshirt.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
So I've had this shirt for quite some time. I bought it at Old Navy on clearance and after wearing it a few times decided that it needed something extra...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_xmNezg_FNZic3lJvdo62RskE9o9YcFEd4jgOBNHAN9AkMzZ-klLW05AERbrhKvFa81dvcvMEG459QcsVQIAtxXm6IJX_mcqq7TYLF1Y2V1bNOuTP0dr1ir7hFGoPA9p0uv8MooGnlVeT/s1600/DSC_0003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_xmNezg_FNZic3lJvdo62RskE9o9YcFEd4jgOBNHAN9AkMzZ-klLW05AERbrhKvFa81dvcvMEG459QcsVQIAtxXm6IJX_mcqq7TYLF1Y2V1bNOuTP0dr1ir7hFGoPA9p0uv8MooGnlVeT/s400/DSC_0003.jpg" width="267" /></a></div>
So I picked up this lace from Wal-mart. It was pretty cheap. Don't really remember how much it was. Didn't have to get very much of it to do the job either.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ9ylnnYeLb2hpesVLKALruTrHVhlxr7M7eW4c2y7eIHSJ9o4WI_FlmDOPrMYGlk-jFfyixyLqxtWCoBBCu5wVTzXGNRV814oeDrhVGxZHG7DWRWvr82t31UjpGidVxZZ-_FWLoFdcgYws/s1600/DSC_0014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ9ylnnYeLb2hpesVLKALruTrHVhlxr7M7eW4c2y7eIHSJ9o4WI_FlmDOPrMYGlk-jFfyixyLqxtWCoBBCu5wVTzXGNRV814oeDrhVGxZHG7DWRWvr82t31UjpGidVxZZ-_FWLoFdcgYws/s400/DSC_0014.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
So I took the lace and pinned it under the first sort of layer on the shirt...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRaPbYrCEcblWGnY5Hw9SJxtpcryR2c4N3b5HSdmyzT48KuxZRalzc9OdTTc5DtyVkMHdHk5dhJVpalXST4Gh004iisiAmUtTnQ1dVksz5i56ZH3gq1PtagtJnPvQC2czDlbCnIdzc599R/s1600/DSC_0016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRaPbYrCEcblWGnY5Hw9SJxtpcryR2c4N3b5HSdmyzT48KuxZRalzc9OdTTc5DtyVkMHdHk5dhJVpalXST4Gh004iisiAmUtTnQ1dVksz5i56ZH3gq1PtagtJnPvQC2czDlbCnIdzc599R/s400/DSC_0016.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
and then cut how long I wanted it...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf6UF87KuCWhtT-LzGA-8ZG6x3FlzjtYMZy-SDR_Ut_9b9x__S8uwZeSWtc3v7BuYyMjWAnjESo_7yHJ9JX3ppNcoIZQVsdtXQRGAIVX4Fl4gVqrHLsHHh1deZADqVlYb45VpJ-82JTK8_/s1600/DSC_0017.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf6UF87KuCWhtT-LzGA-8ZG6x3FlzjtYMZy-SDR_Ut_9b9x__S8uwZeSWtc3v7BuYyMjWAnjESo_7yHJ9JX3ppNcoIZQVsdtXQRGAIVX4Fl4gVqrHLsHHh1deZADqVlYb45VpJ-82JTK8_/s400/DSC_0017.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
and then pinned up the rest.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivMbOnAFiEhZoyBRwZmvRyZEVzHiRe-PAVbyJ-iOiDTq-wRlD57wyf-dhZwVIIot-fX7lt3CI3nzZ-QFo-J9nlCIypeQ_9oJCZcdE8gvl3cjQOToKWEcj7XYKGzpDep-06ggjP47DaBG79/s1600/DSC_0018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivMbOnAFiEhZoyBRwZmvRyZEVzHiRe-PAVbyJ-iOiDTq-wRlD57wyf-dhZwVIIot-fX7lt3CI3nzZ-QFo-J9nlCIypeQ_9oJCZcdE8gvl3cjQOToKWEcj7XYKGzpDep-06ggjP47DaBG79/s400/DSC_0018.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
here's the first piece of lace all pinned up. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglycn-z5sb7SLnnKSUQIEmI2p08sQfC-qMUdnRyO6yNDWerAGuN2hIWT0S-ylRyko5dH4X8ql3whmAGZKzORuRJPnXrMqHq4stAjpfoIXgklnuRSX7o_hsKyiyBBwf9p1SzOlS67X5jsaL/s1600/DSC_0019.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglycn-z5sb7SLnnKSUQIEmI2p08sQfC-qMUdnRyO6yNDWerAGuN2hIWT0S-ylRyko5dH4X8ql3whmAGZKzORuRJPnXrMqHq4stAjpfoIXgklnuRSX7o_hsKyiyBBwf9p1SzOlS67X5jsaL/s400/DSC_0019.jpg" width="267" /></a></div>
and then the second.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg_axQXyKBveKv2zlhePZXh1J38FdP-M7XfvPgL0cRckVOepi6cMjarxLCDBzSAamWFJsEzIc3ak6ZqaBnq0Fystt6ZETKfzM8qICPbOrybjtLMWNJ07NIlG9zg_6yoDorr3xZOxK3sCum/s1600/DSC_0020.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg_axQXyKBveKv2zlhePZXh1J38FdP-M7XfvPgL0cRckVOepi6cMjarxLCDBzSAamWFJsEzIc3ak6ZqaBnq0Fystt6ZETKfzM8qICPbOrybjtLMWNJ07NIlG9zg_6yoDorr3xZOxK3sCum/s400/DSC_0020.jpg" width="267" /></a></div>
and then I moved the pins down so that I would have room to sew...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5WIBVKEsgL2-UEVFaiLA-ib1OWOSG2tNbi7ueAj6Qh1wBndJV3qVACOm3iTVjYF0Hy4IvAfVhtZgZmrc84Wv-kLING9dBnvzdj4WnmwXB4LuTarM10dseXI2xnSbSpErjW0cDtjKDbv95/s1600/DSC_0021.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5WIBVKEsgL2-UEVFaiLA-ib1OWOSG2tNbi7ueAj6Qh1wBndJV3qVACOm3iTVjYF0Hy4IvAfVhtZgZmrc84Wv-kLING9dBnvzdj4WnmwXB4LuTarM10dseXI2xnSbSpErjW0cDtjKDbv95/s400/DSC_0021.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
and I decided to hand sew it because I have no clue how to use a sewing machine and I don't even own one. But if you have a sewing machine you should definitely use it if you know how because I'm sure it will hold up better and last longer, but I'm not planning on wearing this shirt everyday so it should be ok. <br />

So that's it! Hope you enjoyed it and have a fantastic weekend!<br />

So I've decided it's time to resurrect this blog. Change it up a bit. Get involved. I'm at a place in my life where I have some extra time (for how long I have no idea) that I need to dedicate to something. During that time I've found I've been doing some extra crafts that I've pinned onto my <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/jshaffe8/">Pinterest</a> that I thought, "Hey, I'll have time for that someday." So then I also thought, "Hey why not put this on my blog!" and I've also been wanting to pick up my camera more, even though my job lets me do plenty of that, so I also need a place for that. So hopefully this is something I can keep up with and post regularly the pictures I take and the crafts I do. And hopefully if there is anyone reading this, you will be interested and want to follow me too! <br />
<br />
So anyway.....onto some interesting stuff...<br />
Over the weekend I got to carve a pumpkin at my mom's house which was super fun. I always love carving pumpkins. I think my favorite part is cleaning out the guts. I know, kinda weird. I just love the smell and all that slimy gooeyness. And then my next favorite part definitely is putting the candle in and turning off all the lights to see what it looks like...<br />

day 8: a bad habit<br />
<br />
i have a bad habit of leaving my phone in random places. especially at work which is a bad thing considering the people i work with. lol. anways....i really don't like this picture, but i couldn't think of any other interesting bad habit that i have.<br />
<br />

day 9: someone you love<br />
<br />
Mike- Lead Singer for RED<br />
<br />
so i know it's probably sort of expected to choose a family member for this photo, but i really wanted to use one of the pictures i took yesterday at the concert. i really do have a genuine love for these guys. they are awesome people and amazing artists who love Christ and are not afraid to share it. they will always be my favorite band and i will always be one of their crazy fans until the end.<br />
<br />
here's a couple more shots from yesterday:<br />

Day 4: Something green<br />
<br />
so my plan for this picture didn't really work out. i had planned to take pictures of fireworks that would tie in with the holiday, but all the ones i took didn't turn out all that well. so i resorted to this which was taken earlier in the morning when my brother and i went fishing.<br />
<br />
here's some other photos from that trip:<br />
<br />

Day 5: from a high angle<br />
so this picture for my 30 day challenge was actually taken on the way back from my trip to florida this summer. i wanted to use it because i don't think i could get any higher angle and i really didn't have time today to take one. so there you go.jshaffe8http://www.blogger.com/profile/07219098901503742841noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-614770895299108014.post-34031583369488345322011-07-03T20:39:00.000-07:002011-07-03T20:39:03.839-07:0030 day challengeday 3: clouds<br />

This is my nephew, Austin. He's pretty hilarious when he's not being bad and asking 10 million questions. My favorite saying that he says when he wants something is, "But I'll be your best friend!" which I've also tried to use but didn't really work out for me. haha.<br />

Later in the evening my brother, sister-in-law and I went and walked through one of the fields close to my house to see if we could find any deer to take pictures of. Didn't see many deer, but we did find some raspberries that were pretty tasty (:jshaffe8http://www.blogger.com/profile/07219098901503742841noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-614770895299108014.post-91369443402763726052011-07-02T20:31:00.000-07:002011-07-02T20:33:19.752-07:0030 day challengeso i started a 30 day challenge for july.<br />

i am not a fan of the second image.jshaffe8http://www.blogger.com/profile/07219098901503742841noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-614770895299108014.post-37550800064345121282011-07-02T19:42:00.000-07:002011-07-02T20:56:02.746-07:00ello!Thought I would go ahead and use this first post to tell the world a little about myself. My name is Jaimee (yes that is spelled correctly). I am 20 years old. This is a photography blog. I will most likely use it to post any and all pictures I take, which is most of my life by the way. <br />
<br />
I am a photography/visual arts major at WVU and I have been involved with photography for about 4 or 5 years now. I also love Jesus, music, kayaking, and any kind of adventure. I like to try and live my life to the fullest while I can so that later I can look back on what I've done and feel fulfilled. So this is my blog of my life through photographs and I hope you enjoy!<br />
<br />
p.s. you can also check out my flickr and tumblr:<br />
