Tis' the season..

             Hey everyone I took a break from posting, due to the fact that I had no wireless internet where I was staying for Christmas, Jordon, Charlie and I all headed down to Fort Langley to stay with his parents for Christmas, It was the first time I spent away from family, It honestly didn't feel like Christmas to me, but that's alright I suppose. I got spoiled by everyone Jordon got me a Sony Handy cam, and a 32 gb memory card for it,( yay I'll be posting tons of tutorial videos) he also filled my stocking. His parents got me pjs, bath stuff and a jewelry box. From my family I received tons of baking supplies, pop corn machine, snow cone machine and tons of craft stuff.

Picture Frame Jewelry Holder

How to make your own jewelry holder out of a picture frame.  

 Supplies you need: Old Picture frame,scissors, beads/other decorations, hot glue gun/glue, wire or string i used hemp, old piece of fabric and plastic mesh screen(netting)

Cut mesh netting to size, place in inner lip of frame, cut hemp(or wire to size)

 

Super glue the mesh and hemp, If you use wire you'll probably want to use a stapler

 Cut fabric to size of frame,super glue to the inside lip, as well the outer back of the frame,  You'll also want to put something to hang the frame up with i made mine out of hemp, because the lip of the frame was not big enough to put a metal one on.

 Clean the surface of the frame, cover with hot glue and dip into beads

 Add any other decorations you'd like.

This is the final finished product. =)

 

I made this one when I was 15 :$ lol

Quotes that inspired me over the years...

I like writing, but I also like reading, I would Like to share some of my fav quotes that have impacted me over the years. =]

The most wasted of days is one without laughter.- E.E. Cummings 

Don't bother just to be better then your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better then yourself.-William Faulkner 

Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.- Truman Capote 

Courage doesnt always roar, sometimes it's the little voice at the end of the say "I'll try again tomorrow."

True knowledge exists in knowing you know nothing.

When we long for a life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong against contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure.

This is your life and it;s ending one moment at a time.

Imagination is everything , it is the preview of life's coming attractions.- Albert Einstien

The meaning of life is to give life a meaning.

Be nice to everyone you meet they might be fighting a battle you know nothing about. 

I could on for days but I want to share a few.....
