Lately I have been super busy with school work this quarter. I have such a demanding professor with unrealistic expectations for us learners. Further, due to his constant negative feedback, harsh grading, and unfair expectations several learners have filed compliants...guess that'll do for now. I just hope I never get him again!
Anyway, so when I have had a break from school work I haven't been studying for my BCaBA certification exam, oops but I have been crafting since my BFF introduced me to Pinterest (
click here) I have found so many craft ideas that I want to try. So in the past two weeks I have made a couple crafts...attempting to de-stress.
The first one was supposed to be a chalkboard; however, I did not sand the wood before I painted and thus the grain is a little different on the sides and it does not wipe entirely clean of the chalk- oh well, it was a fun thought.

The next craft I made last night and finished today. I had seen wreath's on pinterest and thought I would make one for Bobby for football season. So Friday I went up to Michael's and got the crafts for it. Once I made it home I started to work on my project because I did not want to start on the paper I had due. However, while wrapping the wreath I ran out of the ribbon and was 'forced' to stop for the night. After a good six hours of working on my paper I decided to go to Michael's again to get the material I needed to finsh the wreath and that is what I did tonight. Here is how it turned out...
Like I said, I made this for Bobby since he is a Florida State fan. If I made one for myself it would support the Bulls :] I sent him a picture of it and he told me he loved it-although I think it is a little girly but it is homemade and made out of love...so hopefully he will hang it on his front door in South Carolina and upset all the Clemson fans.
I also made a 'white board' and all I did was take a picture frame that I got from Home Goods and put a sheet of scrapbook paper inside. Now I can write on the glass with a dry-erase marker and waste less trees from all the post-its I use !
