Bleach Pen Shirt

My friends and I went to the premiere of Twilight: Breaking Dawn part 2! We couldn't simply show up and watch at 10:00 on a school night. We had to make shirts! We tried a Pinterest craft that I have seen around for awhile. This shirt is a dollar general $4 shirt. We used shelf paper to make a stencil and stuck it directly on the shirt. We then used a Tide Bleach Pen to fill in the space. We ended up letting it set for about 2 hours. We then washed them and they were ready to wear. I think they turned out super cute for first time bleachers. I just made a new bleach shirt tonight. I will blog about it soon!

The Magic of Christmas started today!! Thank you 95.5 for the soundtrack of the holidays. I completely immerse myself in the holidays for a little over one month each year: music, clothes, coffee, food, desserts, crafts, decorations, etc.

Camping

Trevor and I LOVE camping! Because of the weather in Texas, we don't get to go often! The summer months (April-October haha) are too hot and the other months are busy because of our school schedules. This was actually our first time to go with our new baby Violet. She turns out to be a crazy camping dog! We stayed at a new park called Jim Hogg. It was pretty nice for a campground. Of course, no campgrounds live up to the golden paved paths in Colorado. For Texas, it was fine. I hope we camp a bunch this year!!

Bows

We had neon day at school and I love to go all out. I was neon from head to toe. I decided that I also wanted to make a bow. I loved making bows and I decided to start making them for my dog. I got this precious owl print ribbon to practice with. I ended up making a few different styles for Violet and a matching "mommy" bow for me! Oh please don't let me have a daughter some day or we will all be in trouble!

Pumpkins

My sister came in town from Arizona just before Halloween. One of her favorite things to do is carving pumpkins! She carved an owl pumpkin, I carved a spider pumpkin, and my mom carved a good old fashioned Jack-o-lantern.

Well...everyone who knows me knows that my birthday lasts exactly one month and is planned at least 6 months prior to the actual date! I love this saying, it's even better than 7 months of celebrating :)
