Cones!

For any occasion!

Since I've missed every possible one.. They're all different colors anyhow, so keep them up all of the days, and people will praise.

These were so super easy, I just kind of wanted something to do with these sparklies. So, voila.

All I used was
acrylic paint (creamy color)
hot glue gun
sparklies
cardboard cones from the craft store

It was a total of 8 dollars, because the sparklies were 80% off after Christmas.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I didn't have any brushes, so of course I fingerly painted.

I bought myself a hot glue gun (: only three dollars at walmart! and worked very well.

also, it's pink. Not my very favorite, so I thought gray would suit. maybe I'll add something pretty to it. like some quotes.

This was the first one I tried.. I can't say I'm a huge fan of how cluttered it is, but I really just went in with no plan of action. So I suppose it turn out reasonably well if you turn it the right way (:

This one I liked much more, I only used the gold and blue and the simplicity made me quite happy with how many knick knacks I have in my room.

I have toooons of these sparklies left over. Any suggestions?

Would you look at that?

Another looong pause between posts!
..So that you don't feel too spoiled, let's start with a wee complaint (:

I absolutely hate how it gets dark out so early in the day.. it makes me sleepy and I always fall asleep at some unreasonable time with nothing done in the evening except maybe a show or some distracted cleaning. So, a long while ago, I decided I would finish these cones. But I lost day light and I'm not much for artificial lighting in pictures. I also lacked a glue gun, almost ran out to get one, then remembered I had no lighting anyway. So, I decided I'd work on a wee blog schedule. One would completely keep me on track (: So I thought. Look at me now! So, the only things I got done that night: I finished signing up for classes for this semester (after this semester I only have TWELVE more credits till my associates degree:), I figured out a payment plan, and I worked on a few pictures that I took earlier that day!

& of course my typical black/white

For my blog schedule, I wanted something that I could just print out each week with enough space to write down what I'll do which day & the ideas/supplies/ingredients I need for each one. Now, I'm not graphic designer. I have no fancy programs. I have Picassa & Paint. Yes, Paint. So I really have no idea how to go about this. I'll have to keep working at it. Some day I'll post it all for you to see! If you have any suggestions, please help a girl out (:

Christmas & a New Year

oh, I know.. I know. Over two weeks without a post? What kind of blog is this? Someday, I promise, it will not be so lame (:

Now, let's get down to it. I suppose I owe you all two shouts.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

&

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I hope they're the merriest & the happiest of holidays until quite later this year, which I hope beats these two and is even merrier and happier! So on and so forth for the rest of your happier and merrier days.

Truly.

So, I bought me some sparklies! I went to Michaels shortly after Christmas and ALL of their Christmas stuff was 80 percent off. I went a little wild. But! I still have to figure out what exactly I want to do with these sparkles. I also bought some cardboard cones, so I think I might make some "Wintery" decorations, seeing as I was a little late for Christmas. Honestly, half the colors aren't truly Christmassy or even Wintery, so I might just keep them up all year round (; rooms deserve some lovin.

This very day I just wanted to get some pictures, so I tried that neat trick (the name has slipped my mind) where you disconnect your lens, keep it close to the camera, let light in, and take pictures that way. A few came out pretty well and interesting (: Might try that more when I take pictures of random things about - rather than self portraits. It was a little tough.

FREELENSING. Thank You Clare (:

I've started working on my cones.. I have no paint brushes, so I outsmarted the task and did a little finger painting. But it still got the better of me.. I have no hot glue gun, and my cheapo glue wont work on my pretty sparkles. So, this may have to wait YET AGAIN.

Thank clucks no one reads this blog :)
