Off to Aiken!!

Pray for safe travels, strength, and good weather! (I am running on little sleep from watching the Royal Nuptials!) 

A lot of work, and a whole lot of fun :)

Summer could not come fast enough!

I will sacrifice. I will have huge frizzy hair. I will sweat. I will endure humid Southern air. All for summer!

Sunshine! Swimming! Tanning! Lakin' it up! Hiking in the mountains and freezing your buns off in the river water!

Oh please hurry!!!!

(Yes Matthew, I do enjoy this song with Jimmy Buffet, don't get carried away ha!!)

What I am loving Wednesday!

Here's what I am loving on this gloomy looking Wednesday,


I am loving that I am done with my Art History class, Physical Science, and English! What a relief!

I am loving that we get to get of town this weekend and help my dad move! I don't mind a little elbow grease ;) I loooove going to Aiken, It's so pretty, I am not sure how great the schools are down there, but maybe one day we can live there! Although I'd prefer Charleston County schools ha!

I am excited about my new skirts on their way from L L Bean with free shipping...

I loove these tops! And they'd go good with my new skirts, Plus they are on sale, I refuse to pay full price ha! I find the best deal on everything I want.. I have the eagle eye when it comes to deals! My mama taught me well!

I've been devouring some easter candy ha..

Most of all I am loving my sweetheart!

What are you loving? Link up here.

 

Happy Eater!

When I was little I misspelled Easter while coloring Easter eggs so now we say Eater instead of Easter!

We had a really good Easter! I wore the sweater I enhanced with flowers! Very exciting! We took plenty of cute pictures, of course half of them include my closed eyes, ha I always do that!! I am stuffed from lunch and the most delicious cheesecake!! And of course my Easter candy form Matthew!

My cutie!! Her 15th Easter!

I am so thankful for the real reason to celebrate...Jesus!

Happy Easter!!

John 11: 25-26

Praise the Lord!!!

I am done with physical science!!!!!!!!!!!! Sooo many tears have been shed!

PHSC 108 Physical science for Ed majors..... worst time of my life! A science class on the Internet with no help from the teacher and no reliable source of information. The most poorly put together course and a shame for our university! Honestly!! But now I am done with science!!! Ah, the ease of Education ha! Not really... my major has the most general ed requirements between Elementary and Special Ed. , so I'll be working hard for the next few semesters and hopefully I'll get in more major specific things and really enjoy it!

Last years, Spring Break! I miss my long hair, but when I wlak outside in the muggy sticky South Carolina air, I am pretty content!

Matthew got his boat this year last time!

Life Lately... in phone pics!

What I am up to...

Cramming, studying. writing, preparing for last week of classes and then exams!!

Trying to find a summer job, I'm pretty sure summer is for going to the beach and laying out.... not working!

the 45896728671 Craigslist deal of Matthew's... The boy changes cars like underwear...lucky he doesn't change girlfriends like that ha!

Matthew's short lived obsession with his new Ipod and Angry Birds, hopefully we can see the movie, Rio, and cure his Angry Birds fever!

Dealing with my extreme jealousy of my parents going to Uncle Bubba's Paula Deen's brothers restaurant!! UGH!! ha I am so glad they got to go with each other and feast! ha

And of course making my cutie do funny things haha! He said "Hurry up nobody better see me" haha

What I'm loving Wednesday!!

I thought it would be fun to link up again! So this is what I am loving on this perfect Wednesday...

I am loving how easy my registration went for classes, that is the most stressful five minutes all semester! I hate it so bad but at least there is only five times left I have to do that.... ha! I got a pretty good schedule for fall and lots of education classes, which I am soo excited for!! I am loving these cookies! Only fifty calories and rich enough to satisfy that chocolate cake craving!

These super cute shorts from New York and Company... only 15 bucks !!! I love them I love this bracelet from Target perfect for Clemson games and summer time!

I am loving my sweet boyfriend!! The decisions he's making for the future! I'm his biggest fan and cheerleader!

...and I am loving the adventures I drag him on! The hike was a little longer than I thought .... ;) We had fun and made it back just in time ( We were in the Jeep with no top no doors....) before the storms!

That's what I am loving this week, link up here...

What I'm loving Wednesday!

This is my first time ever linking up with Jamie for WILW! Her blog is really cute!

So here it goes, I am loving....

This precious new Vera purse!! I think it's really different and cute, I have been wanting a new purse lately, I get bored with mine, I guess since you carry it everyday it gets old!

That I finished my big school projects for the week and on eof my classes was cancelled today, woo hoo!

My sweet old doggy! (Excuse the bad phone pic) bless her heart, she's lost it! I hate to think about her getting old since she's been my only pet!

The gorgeous Spring weather and blooms! Minus the allergies!

I am loooooooving this in ice cream place in Clemson. You get a cup and then you mix your own soft serve ice cream flavors and add whatever toppings you want, I added like everything haha! Gummi worms cocunut and peach mango ice cream sooo good! And it was cheap, ice cream is can get expensive Marble Slab etc... It was like 2 bucks!

My sweetheart, Love him soooo much! ....And he loves his Jeep haha!!

I am excited!!!

Kate plus eight is baaaacccckk! Ha I think they are my secret addiction, I think it's so sad that tehy are divorced, They seemed like faithful parents, They always were at their church and talking about a faith based marriage and the miracles of their children. They started out making speeches at churches and it went sooo wrong! I feel bad for the children that they will never have a normal life, but I dooo love their show

They are going to Australia this season! I love Kate honestly ha! When she went to Alaska with Sarah Palin I about died, her whining and complaining made me die laughing she sounded just like me!!! I love being outdoors but not freezing and in the rain, I can not wait to watch this!

Flower creations!

I have been loving all the flowers I've been seeing in magazines and at the stores so I thought I'd try my hand on it, I learned to make these flowers on YouTube, here! I tried to follow the instructions as best I could, but I always end up doing it my way ha!

First I used an old t shirt to make the gray flower. I used different juice glasses one larger for the bottom petals and a smaller one for the second level of petals!

1. I cut out six circles and cut slits, the length of the radius

2. Next you fold back and worth, alternating for more dimension

3. Sew the end of the petals to hold them together!

4. Continue this for other six petals!

1. Position the six together very tightly

2. Hot glue a piece of felt in the middle ( all I had was pink... but you cant see it anyway)

3. Then I made six smaller petals, the video said five but I used two for the middle part!!

4. Then repeat the first four steps with these petals... hot glue the felt on to the smaller petals and attach them to the larger ones.

and ta-da! The flower, I used the fifth and sixth smaller petals to make the center of the flower, I think a button or a rhinestone would be really cute too!

Next I attached a clip, I'll post a pic when I wear the flower, i think it turned out precious!

Next, i made white flowers with a stiffer material I got in the scraps at Walmart for about a dollarThat's the best idea just to get some different color scraps. I loved the way the stiffer material looks, I am totally making more of these, I added them to an older cardigan from Target, I think it really spruced it up! I am excited to wear it with my white dress from last spring I think it'll be cute!

I really enjoyed my crafty-ness ha! I think it'll be a fun thing to spruce up and decorate!
