A Mini Vacation ★★ [Jewelry making + Trouble (´；ω；`) ]

If you follow me on tumblr, you'll know I've been up at my Aunt's house since Sunday.

We're working on cleaning out her craft room, and whatever she needs to get rid of I can have!

But if you follow me you'll also know that Monday morning I had a little accident

 Every day til about 2pm I'm alone here, so when I woke up the first morning It was just me and my aunt's two dogs. *A* Well, I think they were pretty startled that someone was actually home! 

When I went to let one of the dogs, Toby, smell my hand, and then pet him he bit me :C

You can see the picture here *A*

Basically my whole hand is bruised, and my index finger's nail is cracked :c

A bling bandaid to make things better!

Anyways! Since my aunt had to get home early do to the incident, we went out for sushi at Ichiban and then went to watch Bridesmaids. It was pretty funny!

When we came home we started working on her room

just one day and I aleady had a HUGE box! I'll do a sort of post haul when I get home <3

Yesterday, we didn't clean, but I got a jewelry lesson in wiring~

A heart, swirls, and a simple dangle!

But my favorite to make was the "love knot"

Time to go work on summer assignments!

Hope the weather is good where you are

It's great here!

Oklahoma 2011 in a nutshell

Hey dolls! I missed everyone so so much
I was super excited to be home~~Oklahoma was nice but I can only stand being away from home for so long
There were some challenges but everyday ended up being enjoyable!


(´ヘ｀;) a few off things would have to be how humid and hot it was there, so my makeup felt nasty and I broke out a bit, I was drinking gallons of water too! The upsides overcame those faults though.

 The view was really nice! My Aunt's new house~ my sister and I walked until the grass got taller, because there's alot of biting bugs there.( ’ㅅ’)~* 

They also have alot of great stores out in my Aunt's area! My grandma gave us money to spend and have a good time, and with the great prices  I ended up with alot of things.

Everything but the palette came from Ulta, All I ever do is get browns so I decided to step out of that and get pinks from nyx! That lip gloss was pretty nice until it opened and melted all over my top (ノ_・。)
The Palette is from Glamifeye (sp*? I don't have it next to me) and was originally 10, but I got it for 5 at this store called Gordmans, it's like Ross on steroids! *A* I plain to review these products on Miel❤ Maquillage

Then right by Gordmans there was a one dollar accessory story. I got alot of new earrings, necklaces, and hair things  .

A few days from arriving we took a road trip to Arkansas, to the Crescent Hotel. If you watch Ghost Hunters, you'll know this place is pretty "haunted". We stayed in a balcony room which had nice view of the front. Also we too their Ghost Tour. no ghost caught though haha! They had very cool stories of ghost history though.

This area on Arkansas relies on their income by tourism, so they have this great downtown area that sells food,clothes, and antiques. i ended up getting a Anna Sui bag (small) and this nice necklace, I'll share pictures in another post!

So then we went BACK to Oklahoma, did more stuff, and took a one day trip to Dallas, Texas and ate at the Rain Forest cafe in the Grapevine Mills mall. I found 3 dollar harem pants! there were on sale at Papaya, I also got a 5 dollar top which will be posted some other time I guess

 The rest of the trip was just driving around places and eating lol.
 I had a really great time, and I was so happy to see California again~
Now, I'm ready to go hang out, get back to working out, and meeting new people!

Mini Vacation (Food + crafts)

This post is a week late, so sorry i've been busy!

I had a "mini" vacation to my Aunt's last week

We've all been stressed and busy between family matters and school work

So I came up with the idea to scrapbook the camping trips my grandpa has been on with my day to cheer my grandpa up!

My sister and I missed Friday of school and we left for my Aunt's to go out for sushi

All the food was yummy!

I loved the Mount Fuji Roll (last photo) it was delicious!!

Then we got to working on the scrapbook.

My aunt owns ALOT of scrabooking things, along with making jewelry.

Her craft room is insane!! I want one like this when I have my own home *A*

But away from the room of my dreams aha, we pulled out all the scrapbooking things we needed and got to work!

As you see from all our shapes, she has gadgets! She owns the cricut (info here), some die-cutters, and lots of punchers. soooo sooo many things!

 

It was all really fun! and it was a success : >

We presented it to my grandpa Monday and he really loved it <3

I'll be going back to scrapbook my plays and sweet 16 I think!!

Sorry for such little commentary </3 when you scrapbook, it's alot of falling into this creative trance and looking up to see 4 hours have passed like nothing. It's crazy!

More coming soon!
