Books on my nightstand

Image
This semester is kicking my butt and I have very little time to read. The only time I do read is when I have a 5 minute break or when I'm am about to sleep. I'm a huge book worm and I'm always looking for little places I could put my books. We have a bookshelf, but there is hardly any space for more books. I'm thinking about donating my books, Or if anyone is interested in my books, I would be happy to give them to you . They are mostly the Harlequin books, that I don't want. Here are the current books on my nightstand: This set of books I only read before class or during class. Lectures can drag on so I would simply open my book very casually and read and every so ofter look up so that the teacher will know that I am listening. Wow, I hope my kids don't do that to me one day . Ha! I picked up these books at a thrift store in a town near by, and they had these two books. I am a big fan of the victorian era, or the American revolution days. So A bride most Beg...

DIY (Taylor swift) bookmarks

Image
I have so many books that I have read recently. Every time I read a book I simply just fold the corner of the book to hold my place, which I hate doing that because then there are a ton of creases on a couple of papers. So that Is when I thought about bookmarks. Duh right?  I think I only have 1 bookmark and I cannot for the life of me find it. So I went on pinterest, because they just have everything right? So I saw this LINK  and just sort of modified it. So the things I needed were Scissors, mod podge,white bookmarks, paint brush, paper. * She did the bookmark a little different, I believe she stack a bunch of scrapbook paper on top of each other. When I took this picture it was the second time I was making some bookmarks. I was thinking about how to make it more personal. I think you all know that I LOVE Taylor Swift. When her CD came out I bought the album because I had not bought an actual CD since I was in high school, I think . So I ...

DIY Chevron Canvas

Image
I have been working on Megan's room for awhile. I'm not very good with designing so I result to pinterst to help me out. I mean they have a ton of good ideas but some of those things are not available to us because we don't have a ton of shopping stores near our town, such as Ikea. So I have to work with what is available. I saw a 2 pins on Pinterest that I have been wanting to do for months .(I will link the pin at the end) I finally had some time to do some crafts this past weekend and with a little trial and error, I think the results were pretty good. In the pin it looked pretty self explanatory. I thought it was going to be an easy DIY. The First link went HERE . I tried looking for how she did it but I could not find it. So it was up to me to make it. What you will need: 1 canvas(on sale at Hobby Lobby,  2 for $7) Some paint: I got pink and turquoise Pencil Glitter Liquid glue Chevron stencil(I google it, and traced the stencil out) LINK Paint br...

The ending to our Spring Break.

Image
This weekend was a little sad. It is finally the end to our Spring break. Yeah, I wish it had not ended. Why cant they give us two weeks. I think after two weeks I would really be missing school. Two weeks could really be helpful. Maybe one day they may extend it. I think the only thing I didn't do that I said that I wanted to do for this Spring Break was redesign my blog. I guess I am going to have to do it some other time. Im thinking something along the lines of yellow and chevrons. We will see. Im also thinking of another blog title. I probably should not, I mean I've had this one for a year. On the day of my Birthday Jaime's dad gave Jaime 3 free tickets for the Livestock show. Honestly, I was intending on going this year. Its just a bunch of the same things every year. I think what I do enjoy however are the animals and their owners and of course all the people decked out in the country wear. However, Jaime and my family wanted to go, plus we were not going to l...

What a wonderful world.

The day of my 24th Birthday: Our morning started out by us waking up at 7:30. The alarm went off at 7:00 AM but we went back to sleep. When we woke up I began to get Megan ready for daycare. I didnt want to leave her at daycare but I think its good for her to get some interaction with other kids. She has zero interaction here at home with kids, so I always like to leave here there for awhile. Plus if you asked her she would rather be at daycare playing with her friends. So Jaime left her at daycare and he came back with some McDonalds. I had been craving some McDonalds breakfast. I don't mean like a sausage McMuffin, I mean pancakes, sausage, egg, and biscuit. I know its probably bad for us but hey It was my birthday. Its ok to eat it:) So he comes in with my birthday presents. The first ones were books with a very sweet card. That man has a way with words and always makes me cry. Then he comes in with a big box...and its a computer chair. The chair I was working with was terri...

Remember when....

we bought those big white drawers for Megan? After some sanding and some painting we have finally finished. Well, I would not say finally, because its been done for awhile but since I have not had a lot of time to post anything, I will show you how it turned out. Before After I was not totally happy with how it turned out. Mostly because it came out pretty plain. Jaime had warned me about it being plain, but for whatever reason I didn't think he was going to be right. Well turns out he was right. I don't know what it needs, it just needs something. I am also working on her room as well. Little by little I am buying some things for her room. I also wanted to show you all my new haircut. I feel so much better. I was having such a hard time with my hair every day figuring out what hair styles to do to it. This feels much better.

What Im loving on my Birthday:)

Well, the day is finally here. The day I turn 24, holy moly, I'm 24. Good god, I have a few more years till my 20's are gone, I hope they dont go too fast. Not sure what Jaime plans on doing today with me, Im just going to wait and see what he says. I am loving the crafts Megan and I have been doing lately. I am Loving that I have not done really much work on my Spring Break. I did do some work yesterday but I should probably do some more, just to get ahead of the class. It feels amazing to be this relaxed. I am Loving that soon we will know who the mother of Ted's children are. Who isnt ready to meet her?   I am Loving my new haircut. Unfortuantly, I dont have a picture of my hair on me right now. My husband took my phone with him somehwere. I was looking on Pinterst a couple of days ago and found a hair style I wanted. The lady who cut my hair, did amazing and it looked pretty much like the picture. I still have to color my hair but that ...
