Mugswap!

In September I participated in a Coffee Mug Swap hosted by Yellow Umbrella and Pointing Up.  We "stalked" other bloggers on their blog, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter accounts to find out a little bit about them and then used that information to buy them a coffee mug which we felt symbolized them.

The other day I received mine in the mail and I could not be happier with it! It's a personalizable tumbler from Starbucks!

Remember those black pages with rainbow underneath that you scratched off to make a design? ( I used to play with them all the time when I was in elementary school... they're AMAZING!)  That's what's inside the tumbler.  So, not only do I save 10 cents every time I take my mug to Starbucks, but I get to design it myself!

Plus, Falen from UpwardNotInward, included a Starbucks gift card!  Seriously, the best surprise EVER!  I see a lot of Pumpkin Spice Lattes in my future!

Thank you Falen!  Have a good weekend all!

UPDATE:  I decorated my mug!

Saturday is Craft Day

I've been so busy lately I haven't been able to do anything crafty and, honestly, I missed it.  So today I took a trip to Hobby Lobby (and spent way too much money.). 

This is the result of my craftiness for the day.  An inspirational quote which is now hanging on the wall in my bedroom.  It needs something else but I can't decide what?

I painted the canvas purple then put down some letter stickers.  I painted the black over all of it and then peeled off the sticker. I should've taken step-by-step pics but I forgot until half the canvas was already black (Sorry!)  Any suggestions for something to jazz the blank space up a little are greatly appreciated!

Now I'm trying to teach myself to crochet.  We'll see how that goes!

Happy Weekend!

Yay for Working Internet!

So I'm finally back! I guess I should probably explain why I've been MIA for the past month or so... When I first moved into my new apartment (back in August) I was stealing internet until I could get to the store to buy a router.  Once I finally bought a router, the internet worked but it was slow so I went and bought ANOTHER router thinking that that was the reason for the slowness.  For the past 3 weeks the internet has been getting progressively worse to the point that I couldn't even do school work in my apartment let alone blog.
BUT now I'm back.  My internet still isn't wonderful but it's better than it was.  I know you all missed me... just kidding.

Now that I have working internet I'll be able to post more often though! Trust me I have TONS of back-logged projects that need to be posted so stay tuned!

Have a good weekend!
