Enjoying being lazy!

So part of the reason that I have not had any recent blogs is because I have been very busy! on February 28th I started a CNA program at Clarkson College. It was only 3 nights a week, but then we had gymnastics on one of the nights that I didnt have class, and then we had to cram as much as possible in on the weekends (plus study time!) Well, I am happy to say that I am finally done! And even though it was a pass/fail class, and I passed, I still did the math and I passed with a 92.6% average. And I got a 90% on my State Written Exam (you needed at least a 70% to pass). I'm really excited, since this is the 1st type of schooling/classes that I have completed in the 10 ears since I graduated from high school.




Now for the second reason that I haven't posted anything, nothing has turned out!!! It is seriously pissing me off! Nothing has come out the way that I wanted, or has just been completely shot to hell altogether! The crafting God is mad at me in a big way! So I'll post what I have done so far, and how it went wrong! Hope someone out there gets a good laugh out it! ;)

Valentines Day Arts & Crafts Pt2

So this was what I made my Lovah for Valentines Day. There was supposed to be a picture of us on the left side somewhere, but the most recent picture I have of us was when we were on vacation last summer, and he was makin the stink face cause "the sun was in my eyes"... Ya ya, he was just pissy cause I pulled him off the golf course! ;)
I went to a thrift store and bought a Scrabble game for $2! Whoever donated it even left their dictionary in there! So I got my $2's worth! And I still have a ton of tiles I can use for later projects!


I thought this quote was kind of fitting with the whole Scrabble tile theme!
This is the topiary that I made for my Leslie. She wanted a wreath, but I was wantig to try something else. This took F-O-R-E-V-E-R!!!! But she loved it (at least thats what she told me to my face) And she can put it out next Valentines Day too.


And this was the 1st project. This wreath and the topiary are made with cupcake papers. The wreath I did the whole thing in about 2 hrs, while watching "The Young Victoria".
