Just Some Confessions:

• I hate parking garages. They make me claustrophobic.
• Sometimes I like to listen to trashy pop music. (Like Kesha or Lady Gaga) Don't judge!
• I love to make things for others. But I usually talk myself out of giving these silly homemade gifts.
• Easter candy is my favorite. Speckled egg M&Ms and Starburst jellybeans. Yum!
• I hate to disappoint others. I'd much rather be hurt then know someone else is hurting!
• I love to sleep but I hate going to bed at night! Don't ask me why. I really don't understand it myself...
• I like watching Dateline NBC more then I like admitting it.
• I'm a pop-oholic. The carbonation is what gets me. I also know that it's so bad for me!
• I'm the worst at making decisions. It's truly horrible! I over-think everything!
• Breakfast is my favorite meal! Not only is it the "most important meal of the day" but it also has the best food choices!! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!
• I'm a procrastinator. I hate it! However, more often then not I wait till the last minute to do things.
• I like speed. Life is too short to go slow.
• Shoes are my weakness! For example - I got 8 new pairs over just this past Christmas break alone.
• I'm a dreamer. My mind is constantly daydreaming about grand plans for life.
• I wish I could grow young. Getting older is not always so great.

Will work for food...

I'm poor.

It's horrible!! I've found out that being grown-up is really quite expensive! And I'm not even having to pay for housing or food or medicine/insurance and such things yet!!


Anywho... my dear mother offered to pay me to make her some cards. She is a sweetheart because she knows how much I love crafting! So it feels like I should be paying her for giving me a legit reason to make cards!


She specifically requested that she needed baby and wedding cards. So I started off with making her a variety of baby cards. 


Basically I just used the same idea but changed the colors for the genders, but here are some pictures of what I've done so far.

The Girls:

The Boys:

If anyone every needs or wants cards made {or knows someone who needs or wants cards made}feel free to holler my direction. I do not claim to be any kind of a professional. I just really love making cards.

And that's got to count for something. 

Right?

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Picnics In Spring Are The Most Wonderful Things!

On Friday, we started out Spring Break with a fun little picnic at the Santa Clara park.

Sunshine,

Bare feet,

Subway sandwiches,

Crazy straws,

and Crazy faces,

were all present!

It was a great start to our Spring Break!

This is what I did today:

{Lemon, Double Fudge, & Funfetti Cakeballs}

The day the Lord created hope 

was probably the same day 

he created Spring

Tim Gunn

I absolutely adore this man! He's just so sophisticated and wise! I got to know him from watching Project Runway and I've loved him ever since! Tim is a celebrity that I'd die to even just get to see from a distance!

If you don't know Tim Gunn,

Or if you adore him like me,

then watch these clips:

He has a book out called: 
Gunn's Golden Rules
Life's Little Lessons For Making It Work
I have only read a small bit of it, but trust me that it is great! It's all about the importance of being kind and "making it work". It made me love Tim even more! I'll definitely be getting this book and reading it from cover to cover!

Anyways...
As much as I love Tim (which is a lot) this post isn't just about my love for him.


-----------------------------------

The other day I got a text from my sister saying that Tim Gunn will be speaking in Salt Lake on April 30th! 

I died!!

{{I bet you can guess where i'll be April 30th!}}

Psychoneroimmunology..... and other things.....

Seriously?

Psychoneroimmunology?

Who can even say that without practice?

Okay... Maybe it's not as bad as it looks...

But that's besides the point...

The point is I'm sick of all the:

paper writing

chapter reading

material studying

test taking

assignment doing

 stuff that goes along with school!

I need it to be summer!!

And pronto!!

Utah has some serious bipolar weather issues!

Yesterday:

 I wore a sweatshirt and rain boots

Today:

 I fell asleep outside and got sunburned

What the?!

Happy Happy Birthday Sista Dear!!

Thank you for:

being silly with me

understanding me

supporting me

exploring with me

helping me

laughing with me

laughing at me

traveling with me

listening to me

comforting me
sharing secrets with me

cheering me on

And most importantly... 

Thank you for being my very best friend!!

I wish you the most happiest birthday!

Unfortunately today...

Unfortunately today...

 was full of homework

But to make the best of a bad situation

I turned on Pandora
and found my seat in the sunshine 

The weather was wonderful today
Warm sun

Cool breeze

It was what we've all been wishing for

Unfortunately today...

 I realized there are 10 more weeks of school till summer


Unfortunately today...
I don't know if I'll make it to summer

It's my dream...
