((Much Needed)) Wall Makeover

Geeze..I cannot believe I had such a boring setup for so long. I was workin' with what I had! Some family gave us a few new additions that I painted to match the color setup that I wanted! All I need was some cheap acrylic paint to completely change my living room wall to what I had been wanting. It only cost $4 to mix it up! Let me know what you think.

Home State Love

The latest painting project!

TUTORIAL:

Print a picture of the state you would like. Outline the paper in marker so you will be able to see the lines through the canvas material. 

After that, tape the paper to the back of the canvas and begin tracing the outline of your state on the right side up of the canvas.

Now here comes the best part..the painting! Paint the inside slowly so you don't go outside the lines. I chose mustard yellow for the inside and cream for the outside! 

For the final touches you can add a heart or star on top of your home city and a border around the outside of the canvas! I also did a California one for Wes! This craft is a creative way to have a little touch of home inside your home. 

CHOICE

For about a year now I have been a contributor to the CHOICE program. This program donates to  villages in struggling countries. The decision for me to start and to continuously donate to this non-profit organization is an easy one for me. It's so important to help those who are less fortunate, who do not have as many opportunities, and who struggle on the daily to make ends meet. I work for DownEast, so that's how I heard of this organization...but you don't have to work there to contribute! It's so simple! I feel like it is definitely worth your money and time, even just $5 can go a long way for these villages. To learn more about Choice Humanitarian  CLICK HERE.
Thanks everyone :)

Confidence Adjustment

For about two and a half years I had been trying to grow out my hair. I promised myself that I would never ever chop it off again! That lasted awhile, but that promise was eventually broken. This was a much needed change! I no longer had any kind of satisfaction with my hair...nor was I feeling patient enough to move past my "phase" of wanting to chop it off. So, with a month long of thought, pinterest pins ((trying to find the perfect cut and color)), and courage gaining...off it went! I'm so excited about the change and I love trying new things with it! For any of you contemplating a huge change like this: DO IT! Change is a good thing. Either way, rock what you have and be confident about yourself!
Here are some before and afters:

             

                               

Welcome to the blog life

((SO EXCITED))

Finally did it. I'm a newbie, so don't be too harsh. This blog is for adventures, my favorite pics, wannabe fashionistas, new cooking experiments, journaling my everyday ((sometimes uneventful, although never dull)), and movie critics. 

STAY TUNED for more....
