DIY crafts:

I'm dying to try these new crafts:


these adorable jars look super easy. Basically write in a hot glue stick, then coat with paint! how perfect for kitchen, craft room, or bathroom?!

I heart this initial piece of decor. The different sized buttons really add character and personality to the piece! I would love to try this with brown printed material and green shaded buttons!


this craft is practically effortless, and paints it's own beautiful picture! I'd like to try it with a smaller white canvas and frame it. ( this would be perfect children's room decor!)


this is simply precious, and I'm totally kicking myself for not thinking of it on my own. Scrapbook paper, picture frame. and it's way more attractive than a boring dry-erase board! 





I can't wait to get started on these doable projects!!
All projects via Pinterest ( of course).

Pinterest, you make the world go 'round.

I'm obsessed, for serious.








these gorgeous hairstyles have me daydreaming about what my wedding hair will turn out like.







new and improved lifestyle ( well, sort of).

Last Friday I finished up my day job with these sweetie pies:



I miss them so much already, but it was time to seek other things like college. My class started last Sunday and I've been logging multiple hours with my books. I'm also in the process of job-searching for a part time position half-way nearby my house. 

Since I went from a 60 hour work week, to a 20 hour work week, to a 7 hour work week, my body is slightly confused. It doesn't know when to sleep or when to be awake. And it definitely forgot what exercise felt like. I went to an hour long cardio class last night and literally thought my body was going to collapse. today, I can waddle across the room, every muscle in my body reminding me of its presence. Yikes. Coincidentally yoga is tonight, so hopefully that will relieve my aching muscles a little bit. 

Since I've had a whole (almost) 48 hours of not working, I've ventured to order 3 gluten free cookbooks, research jobs for about 10/48 hours, and log about 5 hours of television time. I'm not a huge television fan, so it's primarily what I do when the computer screen and book pages both burn my eyes.

I've started organizing my church class and oh my, I am excited! I found a curriculum that really suits the age group and personality of the class. I can't wait to see how they like it. I've been preparing decorations and trying to figure out the room setup:). I'll be sure to photographically document every bit of it.
