In the beginning

-
I considered making a separate area of this blog dedicated specifically for more "journal" like content. Inner most thoughts, dreams, pictures, etc. Then I said screw it, this is my blog and I shouldn't have to filter or organize my posts too meticulously. I'm going to keep it to a minimal now that I've learned how to make different labels/pages. So far I added MAKE for crafts and PHOTOS for anything photography related. I might add an ARTWORK section later on. Blogging shouldn't be stressful or difficult. I feel like I'd complicate things for myself if I spend too much time trying to figure out how to label, and sort what, goes where. I don't want to make this a task. I've enjoyed this so far. This is fun:)
I wanted to start a blog for quite some time now. It all started with Pinterest. lol! I'm sure many could relate to that sentence but in different contexts. I wanted to share the things I created with the Pinterest community. What I quickly realized was that a lot of the Pins on the site are linked to blogs or websites. If I wanted to go legit and explain my projects and pictures, creating my own blog was going to be necessary. A description under a Pin just wasn't going to cut it. I would think about what I would post and how I would start a blog. I ended up wasting so much time thinking about what I was going to do instead of actually doing it. I was tired of toying with the idea and wanted to make it happen. I am FINALLY getting this ball rolling and it feels good. It feels great really. For the past year or so I've had an idea of what I would blog about and taking photos accordingly. Now I have a good amount of photos for blogging content saved up. A lot of my posts will be of things I've done months ago. I'm playing catch-up. 
My next post will be about me though. I'm making these posts as if someone else would one day be reading them. It's a little weird, I'll give it that. I've already covered I'm not opposed to eventually having a small following of like minded individuals. That way if and when it does happen I already have that part covered.

A Vocabulary Parade

What the heck is a vocabulary parade ? I know, I thought the same thing when I got the newsletter sent home in Aviva's backpack. Apparently its something schools do sometimes. Not just my child's elementary. You pick a word. Any word in the dictionary is fair game. Then you make a costume that depicts that word. The school then invites all the parents to watch the students have a parade, hence the parade part. Everyone shows off their word costumes. -aww! There was a list of words sent home I guess to help get the creative juices flowing. I was looking at the words and thinking how am I suppose to come up with a costume for "obtuse" or "aquatic" etc... This was going to require a little thinking outside the box. On top of that, I had already expended my efforts and budget for costumes making Aviva's Vanellope Von Schweetz costume : P So I needed to be able to make it with stuff we already had. This didn't seem to be a problem, the kids have a b...

Aviva's rainbow/paint party

Last year my sister in law and I pulled off something short of a miracle. If you throw last minute birthday parties, then you're a miracle worker as well. Aviva wanted a rainbow party for her 5th birthday. Lemme tell you, homegirl is obsessed with rainbows. Instead we took that idea and ran with it mixing a bit of a paint/artist themed party as well. It was colorful, cute and def worth it all.  Let me add that all the things we found were from Party City, Dollar Tree, Walmart, Target, Hobby Lobby and (god bless) Amazon Prime. These places are your best friends when it comes to party decorations.    I think you could never go wrong with streamers. They are cheap, easy to use, come in every possible color and add a little more personality to any celebration.   The clear paint cans and paint brushes were bought in separate sets off of Amazon. The brush handles were originally that natural wood color but painted with acrylic paint. The paint cans st...

Father's Day Personalized 6-pack DIY

Here's a DIY gift any beer enthusiasts can appreciate. If beer isn't for you, this can also be done with any cardboard crated 6-pack of soda/beverage you'd like. If you have a printer you can do all of this at home. If you don't, a trip to the FedEx Print Store is inexpensive and could possibly save you some cash if you don't already have sticker paper or photo paper. Lets Begin! This one was for my husband Gilbert's first Father's Day. Aviva, my eldest, was already two years old when we started dated. Gil missed all the newborn triumphs and trials and had completed his first REAL year of the ins and outs of raising a baby. With that said, I wanted to make this Father's Day special but didn't want to order something customized from someone else.  >>>>>>>>>>>> I first picked up some unrefrigerated beers. This is very important because you'll be handling the beer a lot and you won't want to work ...
