Off to NC!!

I'm leaving in the morning to go to North Carolina, to spend some time with Bry and the Bookers! I am a little sheltered :) so it is my first time on a plane, and I am going by myself *gulp*. I'll post pics when I get back!! Don't miss me too much ;).

How To: A Valentine's Craft ♥

I got this idea off of a website, after my mom bugged me to make some sort of craft for valentine's day. Hope you like and maybe even try it yourself, it is really fun!

Supplies:

• 12-by-16 inch piece of wax paper
• Valentine's color crayons
• Old towels
• Iron
• Silk Thread
• Pencil Sharpener
• Sewing Needle

                                                            collect supplies(duhh)

                            peel wrapper off of crayons and fold wax paper in half lengthwise

              shave the crayons in the pencil sharpener and scatter them one half of the wax paper

                                                         oh, look a crazy girl!!

Next, fold half of the wax paper over the half with the shaving on it. Then, place a towel over the top of the paper and run an iron over it. It doesn't really matter what setting the iron is on. It should end up looking something like this:

this is what it will look like if you mix different crayons together, which you want to do!

trace hearts and cut them out of the paper. you can do any size

 you want

Once you cut them, poke a whole close to the top with a needle and thread the yarn through. Then, hang them in front of a window to reflect light. Due to the lack of light on this wintery day, mine don't look so hot, but I assure they look better with some sunlight behind them.

And that's it!

The only let down about this project is, like many other crafts I do, they never turn out the website or article makes them look. And, this time was no different. But, still a fun project!

Yes, I do

                                                                  frighteningly accurate :)

Can I Please have Your Hair??

I love making my hair look good, or better than it ever does. Unfortunately, I was blessed with curly hair. Some times it can get frustrating, but I love it. But, these pics just make me want straight hair even more. I love the art in these pics, they are just soooo pretty. I don't normally share other people's pics on my blog, but I was hoping this would give some of my straight haired friends (yes, YOU) some "hairspiration" and I may have made that word up!! :)

                                                            she is rocking that fishtail

                

                I know some people just don't like her, although I do. You just can't mess with that hair

I got.....Highlights!!!

Some of you already know this or have already seen them, but for lack of another subject, this is what I chose. On Monday night Carli and I both got reddish colored highlights. That night, we both realized we did NOT like them. So, our plan was to get up Tuesday morning and dye our hair brown again. But, in the end Carli was the only one who dyed her hair and I decided I could deal. So far so good, and I am still enjoying them, I wanted a change and that is what I got!!

                                    you can kinda see them in this pic {ignnore my weird expression}

Ok, so I know my last post was also about Carli, but what can I say?! I love that girl, and it just so happens that she is with me most of the time and is willing to be my model. Which is so kind of her. :) Here are some pics we took yesterday.

                    I don't know why, but we both are like in love with this pic. And it wasn't planned

                                                  *dancing to the music in her head*

                                                                i heart you too ;)
