color

i am OBSESSED with color. its almost sad.

look how fabulous these plates are! i love the solids. found these at gordmans while shopping with shae. im serious. a good combination of colors literally raises my heart rate and makes me feel all giddy inside. is that pathetic???

too many mags!

my mod had a craft day my mod parent's house last week. it was so fun, we just crafted in the basement all aftenoon, and our mod sister and her neighborhood friends joined us as well! the project of choice, you ask?

magnets.

lots and lots of magnets!

all they are are magazine pieces cut out, mod podged on the back of those little clear marble things, and then a little magnet added on top.

but let me tell you.

they are the most addicting craft you will ever make!

its sooo fun! al you do is look through magazines, and think "oh, this would make a cute magnet!" and then "oh, so would this!" and so on and so forth!

believe me, its beyond addicting.

attaching some pictures of our magnet creations!!

as obnoxious as they are, they are pretty fun, right??

christmas tea!

SO laura's mom is a part of a women's group at church, and they have a 'christmas tea" every year. everyone volunteers to take a table and decorate it, and this year she is letting laura, me, chloe, and kayci be in charge of her table! which is so fun, but kinda tricky on a college-student's budget! but as you can see here, we got all of our stuff from "dollar tree" in newton! score!! the see-through plates are susan's, but we did everything else for like, 15 dollars! it was so fun!

we also got to attend the christmas tea, but we sat at someone else's table...it was so fun to see the different decor!

christmas card time!

its christmas card time, yahoo!

i had a coulple of friends over yesterday to have a christmas-card-making party in my room! i looove crafting with other people because i loooove to see what everyone else comes up with! its also fun to be able to share supplies like stamps and inkpads. kayci's mom sent out her embosser tool and powder and we had a fun time trying that out!

i think those last two pictures are some of laura's cards...arent they fabulous?! i love christmas tree one!!

creepy baby lamp

SO PLEASE look at this piece of fabulous-ness i found for the RA gift-exhange! we had to find a gift under 3$ for the person who's name we drew. i drew travis petershiem--haha i have no idea what he would like, but who wouldnt like this piece of beauty!! i went to all the thrift shops and flea markets in newton and finally found this, calling my name.

i hope travis doesn't judge me for this. haha.

color theory

color theory class--lois had us think of a "theme" and decorate these window-things in friesen center. my theme was "optimism"...im kinda dissapointed at how like, highschooly-immature it looks, but i guess its fun and optimistic?

i took some pictures of some of the other's windows as well...check our kayci's fabulous "essence of spring" one!!

kate's first scarf!

here it is, folks!

the orange scarf i have relentlessly been knitting on since the beginning of school! i am SO SICK of it! but i wanted to get it done before halloween so i could wear it with a black shirt, and then BAM! i finished it last night! it took SO LONG, i am such a bad knitter! and now that i am able to wear it, im annoyed at it. it keeps leaving orange fuzzies everywhere i go! maybe i made a bad yarn choice, i dont know? but anyways. as annoying as its fuzzies are, i am pretty darn proud of this dang scarf!!
