Cuteness of the Day

Mother's Day

My Mom and Dad are not the planning ahead-type, they are more of the deciding the day of/telling you what the plan is the day or hour of-type. Which as much as it sometimes drives me a little bit crazy, I wouldn't change that about them. We didn't really have any plans for Mother's Day and it sounded like we were just gonna stay home, my mom was telling me that my Auntie and her adult daughter were planning to go see my cousin and her family in the city for Mother's Day and we were also invited but it didn't sound like we were going to go. The morning of Mother's Day my mom comes in my room and tells me that we are going to the city for church and then we would go to see our family right after the service.


So we get to the city and go to church and then after church we drove to my cousins house. We had a huge BBQ in the backyard and there was so much yummy food! It was a really fun afternoon. :)

We got home around 8pm and then my sisters and I walked a few houses down to a family who is friends with our family. They just moved in recently to our street. :) Their youngest son was having his 2nd birthday and they were having a big party for him and our whole family was invited, so we went over there as soon as we got home.

It was a really good day. :)

"Scrap Words" Tutorial

I saw something like this when I was browsing online about a month ago, and I really liked the concept, so I tried to do something like it.

Here is how it turned out:

Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple. (quote by Dr. Seuss)
(I made it as a birthday present for a friend)

I really like how it looks.
This is my first time doing a tutorial so just stick with me here.

Here is what you need:

• Plain coloured paper
• Scissors
• tape
• Either patterned or scrap magazine paper (I did a mix of both)
• Pencil or pen

1. The first thing you do is decide what quote you want to do for this project
2. Get all the items above that you need all together in front of you because you will be using those items constantly
3. The grab either the patterned or the scrap magazine paper and trace out letter by letter
4. Then you cut out the letters
5. Then you stick (using the tape) the letters that you just cut out to the plain coloured paper and place them way you want it (I used white coloured paper for the backround, but any other plain coloured paper would be good)
6. Then cut around the plain colored paper leaving a bit showing like                        this--->
7. So If you have done all these steps, you are all done! Yay!

There are so many things you could use these for, here are some ideas:

• You could put them on your wall
• use them in scrapbooking or making cards
• or you could do something like what I did

Please let me know if you have any questions. :)

I feel like writing something happy

Here I am on this BEAUTIFUL day! I have had a really good morning, here is what happened-
                    I slept in a bit and walked the dog, after walking the dog I made myself some breakfast which was 2 pieces of toast with yummy Nuttella spread on top. During my breakfast I sat on the couch and ate my Nuttella toast while reading "Do Hard Things" by Brett & Alex Harris. After eating and reading I did some chores and after my chores I did My school work which I am almost done and now here I am in the school room typing away and randomly stopping to look out the window to look at this beautiful day...



-I was looking through my blog posts and found this draft that was finished but not published, I am not sure why. But it's kinda cool looking back at this, so I thought I would publish it anyway.
