My craft room is really coming along. I would still like a chandelier, a nice rug, a small book shelf and some prints for the wall. I also have a craft organizer that needs to be mounted and filled. Some Piano lessons from my SIL would be nice as well!


And since I need crafts to work on in here (and because I got a few emails) I am going to hold a small contest for a Twilight shirt, like the one I made for myself. The shirts at Forever 21 come in sizes small, medium and large so if you win you can email me your size and I will make the shirt in whatever size you need. To enter leave a comment about something you create.* Maybe you are quite the cook, baker, gardener, crafter or Knitter. I'm sure my Husband would tell you I'm quite a great mess creator. Just let me know what you love to create. Post a comment before Sunday at 10 am Pacific time and you are good to go. I will pick a winner Sunday morning using a random generator morning.Then I will make the shirt and send it out Monday morning, so it can get to you before the Twilight Opening on Friday. Can't wait to see what you all love to create!
*Open to US Residents only

I am wearing a size small.

DIY: Seventeen Again

I love to go ALL out for every holiday, occasion and what not. In school I always won the most school spirited awards for going all out. Well naturally when I thought the Twilight preview was tomorrow I decided Jen and I needed some Twilight themed tee's to wear to it, you know to blend in with all the teeny boppers! Immediately "Bite Me" came to mind, being vampire themed and all. So I rushed my graphic design whiz of a Mom to make me a design in about 10 minutes so I could make the tee's I was envisioning. After I made the tee's I found out from my friend Lindsey that the preview is next week!! Well I guess that gives me more time to finish the book I have not really picked up since my last post on Twilight!
Jackie this DIY is for you!




Finished product:


My Mom is going to be mad I called her a graphic design whiz and I didn't even give her a chance to make anything "cool", so expect an update when I rock this! LOL

Sucked In

About this time last year I sucked got into the uber popular Twilight series. The hype for the move was everywhere and I knew I would get dragged to see it. But I am adamant about reading books before I see movies, so I broke down and read Twilight. It was a quick, guilty pleasure read. Then I went and saw the movie and thought it was "eh". So I moved on. Well once again the movie is everywhere and I have to admit the second movie looks much better. I am not sure if it is the story line or just more vested into the movie, either way once again I am reading the book before the movie comes out. I only started it last night and my book mark indicates I am not very far in. We shall see. I'm sure it won't stand up to the Lost Symbol but I had to wait a few years for that book. I was though, impressed by the wedding dress sketches I saw on InStyle for The New Moon movie. I absolutely loved the backless one by Prabel Gurung. I guess this means there will be a wedding. I am going to keep on reading to find out...
