Be mine?

Happy Valentine's Day friends! I wanted to share what I sent to Rachel for the Oh! Strumpets Valentine's craft swap.

Yep, I made her one of these. I had another craft already finished when then this idea came along. Everyone likes cameras, perhaps more than a heart bunting. What did you do for Valentine's Day?

Sundae Stroll---study hall ed.

Well, today won't be terribly adventurous; I'm spending it writing a teensy paper and reading a few books from Paradise Lost (::snoozzzzzzze::). I'm also finishing up my craft for the Oh! Strumpets craft swap. I had one done already, but I changed my mind and started a whole new project. I'm mailing it out first thing tomorrow (don't worry Rachel!)
I watched the Puppybowl on Animal Planet today. I died 3 times. That water bowl cam is the best! I didn't watch the actual Superbowl but because Madonna was doing the halftime show I wouldn't be able to function for the rest of my life if I hadn't watched it. Long story short, I only watched the halftime show and it was amazing. I've been a fan since before I can remember. I had Madonna outfits that I wore to school in kindergarten. I'm a "Material Girl" through and through and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Well, I'm going to go finish some homework. How was your weekend?

Craft-Swap-Heads-Up!

Hey! The two crafty gals behind Oh Strumpets! have organized a craft swap and guess who just joined up? Me. I already have a cute idea and I'll probably get started on it this week. The spring semester shouldn't be too hectic so why not?

I'm not a giant fan of holidays but the two I like the most are Halloween and Valentine's Day (in that order) so this should be a fun one. Click the button above to go sign up!

PS Isn't their little spool adorable?!

Craft Swap

On Friday I sent out the piece I made for the craft swap over at Strumpet's Crumpets blog.

I wanted to wait a little before I posted pictures of it because I wanted it to be a surprise! The theme was Spring, so I decided to make a yarn wreath! My swap partner over at Geek Inspired loves green, so I thought I'd start there.

• I used a straw wreath and left the plastic on. I did a little reading and others said it was way less messy that way.


• Those little white thingies mixed in with the flowers? Yep. Goose biots. I do love feathers and I haven't done much with them lately (darned school work!)...


• I used a lot of hot glue (and burned myself)


• The roses are made from felt! Check it out! I learned to make them at the Take Heart blog. (Her blog is G-o-r-g-e-o-u-s!)

Ever since I saw Alycia's wreath from The Curious Pug I've been dying to try my hand. Now I need to make one for my house! I loved making it and I love how it turned out. My only regret? Not taking more pictures and better pictures to show you guys Cheers! xoxo

Crafty Peep Swap!

I decided to participate in my first ever craft swap! I'm super excited, but I haven't decided what to make just yet. The swap is being hosted by Becky at Strumpet's Crumpets and Amber from Hoot-N-Annie.
