Crafty Christmas

So as I've mentioned before, pinterest has become my new obsession. With pinterest, I feel more creative and start to work on projects. I never have a lot of extra money at Christmas time, so for my roommates this year, I painted Dara a canvas and modge podged/painted Becca a canvas. There were a few mistakes that I made that I figured out how to fix for next time, but I'm pretty excited about how they turned out.



Also, Kylie got me some Crayola Color Explosion books for Christmas. She really understands my inner child. LOVE them!!



On a side note, went to the doctor today and got tested for allergies. After suffering through about 4 sinus infections a year, I decided it was time to do something. Apparently I'm allergic to everything except for trees and household dust. What am I most allergic to? DOGS!!! Are you kidding me? That didn't stop me from coming home and hanging out with Jackson today though. I figure I'll start the allergy shots and take my allergy pill and be A ok.
Love this boy!

Pinning!

So I have a confession. I've neglected my blog so much because I've been so busy with something else. Pinterest (dropping my head in shame). But the upside to this is that I've done a few creative projects because of it! And I thought I'd get back to the blog and share them with you.

I've been wanting to decorate my room for a while now, but living in an apartment can sometimes make things a little difficult especially when i love to paint as much as I do. But now, thanks to pinterest, my room is coming together quite nicely.

So I saw this and I was like, hey! I think I can do that. So I started getting ideas and my ideas turned into one long night of decorating. After a trip to Wal-Mart, Target and back to Wal-Mart late Tuesday night, I ended up with this...


I'm pretty proud of it...there are more pictures that I have to upload, but I want to complete the room before I show them to you. I know it doesn't look like much, but I had to rearrange my entire room to get this done.

Also on Pinterest, I saw this idea for a baby's nursery and since my BFF Anna just had her baby Hunter a week ago, I decided to do my own twist on the idea.

This is what is what I saw and wanted to do:
And this is what I did...yes, I painted it all by myself. I'm quite the crafty person. I like to paint and stuff so if you ever need anything, let me know!


Now that I'm back in the blogging world, I'll try to keep up better. No promises though.
