that's all the pictures i took! i hope you enjoyed my room..

the story of the peach carpet and blinds, for your amusement:
that's the way it was when we moved in. the whole room was actually peach, walls carpet and blinds. i became sick of it and my dad helped paint it purple. thus everything became purple. yay. that probably wasn't very amusing but i'm sure it kept you busy for a minute or two!

[not]

so i took this crafting class with my friend a few summers ago. one of the many things we did was woodburning. well. my  friend and i were not good at it. you had like these stencils that you used to burn an image into the wood. we chose frogs.........and immediatly went overboard and the frogs started to look like they came from outer space. o.0 then it was frog on fire (man on fire....o.0) and the background was colored orange. i'll get pics of it soon.......ah good times. oh...and i burned myself XD

Well...if your like me then you have a zillion photos of pets. this is probably not nessescary at all..but uh yea i just like cute pet pictures (i'm sure other people do to!)

this is my cat, sparkle...

well my grandma got me this learn to crochet kit thing. crochet is actually fairly enjoyable contrary to my previous beliefs that it was impossible. i'm still trying to wrap my head around the whole concept of it all but i'm sure after i do it a few times, make a few mistakes and rip it out a few hundred times i'll understand it fully. but so far i've been successful with it! i made a square kind of thingy!

well it didn't exactly start out as looking like the fourth of july but after i added all the red accessories....it just reminded me of that.

in all it's glory
