Random Poem That I like :)

We'll talk on the phone for hours, and its the little thing about you that I adore. 
We are friends, yet I was just your friend before! 
But deep down I hope and wish I was so much more...

Backgrounds

Easter Sunday left me feeling creative!!! After thinking about my next project and a wasted 30 minutes perusing Walmart wares (procrastination :( ), I came home and discovered Sketchpad. I LOVE this app which allows me to create backgrounds for the drawings I do. I especially love the spirals that it creates and the general ease of use. 

I especially love the one to the left :) 

It makes me think of dust motes, specifically the dust motes under my bed, which I will get to....soon...

Holy Moley :) Reminds me of blood cells and pineapple slices...kinda a gross combination, but the general effect is nice

 Makes me think of the strings from my yarn when                       I knit

Brilliant Blossoms

One of the first projects I completed was creating paper flowers that I hang from my ceiling. I get a lot of flack from my sorors over the color of my room, but I love flowers and living things. Below is the picture from the Martha Stewart website. I absolutely love the colors and I can see them hanging from the ceiling of my wedding. LOVE <3

The flowers came from Martha Stewart in an individualized package. I managed to get them for three dollars and used them to center the design of my room. In the picture below, I painted the giant flower based on the blooms. 

To make the picture, I took three pieces of foam board and sketched out the blossom and painted it with acrylic paints. Ties the room together and brings a lightness to the room. I absolutely love, love, love flowers but as I have a BAD track record with real ones, this is as close as I can come to having them in my life.

My room (believe me that it does NOT look like this anymore...#procrastination)

This is my room and below is me in it :)

Me with the blooms in the background

Magnificent Magnets

I love these magnets!!! I went with my friend Katy to her Relief Society meeting. Best decision ever!!!! I don't know hat I expected, seeing as I am not Mormon, but I loved it. We discussed earthquake preparedness, money saving tips, STARTING BLOGS ;) and making magnets. Needless to say I took to the making blogs like a fish to water, admittedly very thick water as it took me a minute to figure it out, and have created this site of my projects.

The magnets were the cutest idea. We took glass marbles, glued scrapbook paper on the back with Modpodge and simply glued large magnets to the back. I loved it and immediately created three. I see a whole range of projects that can be created for this: Crafts for Mother's Day for my kids, magnets for the board in my classroom, and even wedding favors and decorations. What another pretty way to procrastinate!

A Brave New World

Today marks my first blog entry. I have been searching and searching for yet another procrastination from my life as an elementary school teacher. I love my kids but it is nice to have my own endeavors and my own chance to be creative. I love making things and am regularly teased by my friends for the extent of my crazy crafting. Already known as the cupcake queen around school, I wanted to find yet another outlet for my massive amount of crafting energy. I hope you enjoy
