I’m Bipolar, But I’m Not…



Just found this one also! Love these videos they are doing. I definitely love this one.

I’m An Atheist, But I’m Not…



Been one since I was little. Well I didn't know the word for it. I don't believe in god or a higher power but I have good morals and I believe in things like love and kindness, I believe in doing the right thing, having mutual respect for others, I believe in being a good person. And like the one man said, I do like people saying bless you when I sneeze.

DIY Grandma Sign

Grandma's gift was my favorite to give. I had an old canvas so I painted it a solid color then I used a stencil to write "Grandkids" and added a little detail to it with dots. Under that in a different color I wrote "Make life grand!" I attached clothespins  to the bottom. In the scrapbook section of Michaels they have ones that are decorated all cute and have a variety of colors. I did ones with zig zags and polka dots. I hot glued them down. Next I made to sure to have every grandchild on it including long term loves. So Sean made the cut, and of course Dina's husband Odie! My grams LOVED it. I was thrilled! And now she can hang it up in her house and actually have current photos of her grandkids, like their are no photos of most of use over our teen years. Haha!

A Fish For Odie

My Christmas gift for my brother-in-law was a painting of a bass fish. He is big into fish, even does tournaments and is in a club. I had no idea what I was going to get him this year then at the store I saw watercolor canvas! Never saw that before, so I scooped up a few and used on for Odie! Came out okay, my hook looks weird but the fish came out nice. But he loved it, so I'm happy! Sorry the photos kind of dark, I took it before I was leaving my sister's!


DIY Mugs



Hello,

 I made mugs for EVERYONE. I just went to the Dollar Store for mugs, I cleaned them out, haha! Then headed over to Michaels to get ceramic paint. I got the set of paints that you can bake instead of the individual bottles. Because I have no time to wait for things to cure... 28 days?! SORRY Christmas was in a few days! That's also why I didn't do the alcohol ink, it was so expensive then I didn't even use it! So that sucked. But anyway, I love the way they came out! I didn't get pictures of all of them, but got a few of my favorite ones. So take a look! Easy to make and the baking didn't take long at all! I made a horcrux for Sean's mother, she is a giant Harry Potter fan. So it's a wreath within a Christmas tree within a horcrux. I did a mermaid theme for my beautiful red headed cousin. And My Aunt's I did two sides using animal puns. For fox sake, I'm owl out of coffee (For f*ck sake, I'm all out of coffee" Sean helped with the owl side. I couldn't think of another pun! Attached to every mug I put a tag that had the care instructions, aka don't dishwasher it! Everyone loved and raved about them, my sister of course got jealous that she didn't get one, along with my mom. But I only made them for Aunt's for both mine and Sean's family, along with his grandmother!



                       


 I think I'll do a post about the process. By the end of 15 mugs I got pretty good and learned different tricks. I'll make something for my sissy!

An Ugly Birthday

'Twas the night of an ugly birthday, when all thro' the house party....

   Hahaha! So my birthday was small but fun, not too many people but the ones I love showed up, so that made me very happy and thankful. Each year I hate my birthday because no one has time for me. No one ever comes to my brithday party even when I throw parties for everyone else and feed them when I don't have too. But I was very lucky to have grown close with people this year and all came out to have a fun night with me. And also look ugly! But seriously I'm so grateful for these individuals in my life and I'm happy they celebrated the day of my birth with me!

I made Sean's sweater, you know that's the best sweater you've ever seen in your life. I mean, it the a pun on a sweater with Christopher Walken's face on it! Sean loves puns! He's probably the punniest guy I know so it's a perfect sweater for him to wear! Also Dina's puppy, a.k.a. my nephew, Ranger came to the party so Abby had a friend. How cute is that!!! Ain't no party like a puppy party, cause a puppy party don't stop!


   Ignore that last sentence, it was really lame. True, but lame.

A New York Christmas

Hi!

   So we went to NYC for two days! Did I mention how much Sean and I hate cities? A lot. But we had fun at the places we went to. That includes Madison Square Garden tour, Radio City Hall to see The Rockettes, Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum and Madame Tussaudes. So we had a jam packed two days planned. It was very overwhelming for me.

First Day

Second Day

And that's all I got for ya! I'd write more about the actual stuff but I'm way too tired for that. Pictures shall suffice.
