Rainy Days.

What a day. {Sarcastic} I can count all the things I did on one hand:

1. Watched Pretty Little Liars (shout out to anyone else as obsessed as I am)

2.  Played in the rain

3. Finished a craft (featured below!)

4. Ate a chili dog

5. Wrote this blog post

What. A. Day.  

I'll have to say though, it was very exciting to see the rain come down in buckets. Monsoon season in AZ is insane. You can't fully appreciate it unless you've been through one and man - the rainstorm today was hard to beat. It completely filled the streets and covered the sidewalks. The park behind my house is now a lake. (really - people got inner tubes...)

Look! Picture proof! 

(That lake replaced my park, and that river replaced my street). 

That's a good 6 inches in the street!  

Alright, so maybe I'm too excited for the rain. But it hardly ever comes in Arizona! The day rain falls is the best day of the year! ;)

I'll admit, I only went outside once today. I played in the downpour, then kept myself indoors for the rest of the day. So, since I can only take so much drama from Pretty Little Liars, I decided to occupy myself with a project I've been working on. 

I was inspired by this picture from pinterest:

I've done tape things before! So I figured, Hey - I can totally do that! 

...

I might've taken too many creative liberties when painting, and I messed up. I didn't like how it turned out at all. 

Just gross. Don't look at it! I don't like it! (I actually hid it so my family wouldn't see). Plus, someone might've gone a little crazy with the paint and painted their hand purple and stuck it all over the canvas. Who does that?!? Not me! 


Ok. It was me.


Don't be like me. 


I was pouting about wasting a perfectly good canvas on impromptu finger-painting, and then I remembered seeing this picture and I thought - I could TOTALLY do that!!!  


So I grabbed it from it's hiding place in the bathroom, 
added a few colors, 

printed off some large letters, 
cut them out, 
and stuck 'em to my board! 

Then I spray painted it all over (after the rain stopped of course) and got this! 

It's not perfect, but I kinda like it that way. Reminds me to not sweat the small stuff. And, obviously, to laugh. Because life IS better when you're laughing!

Only time for funny...

Alright, so sometimes I lie and say that every Thursday will be a Pinterest Thursday. Sorry about that.
Also, sometimes I'm really immature (according to my mom) and laugh at videos like this:

and this:

I apologize if you didn't find those funny.

But I promise I will upload the pinterest crafts I did last week later today.
Only time to share with you some videos right now :)

Talk soon!

Pinterest Thursdays - Sailor's Knot

Well, after being home for almost a week, I've realized I am quite bored. I go to Quik Trip. A lot. Summer Tradition, I guess. 

Fortunately for my caloric intake, I am absolutely addicted to Pinterest. So I decided to actually make something I found on pinterest instead of just gawking at all the pictures!  

Wouldn't it be a crazy idea if everyone had a board on Pinterest entitled "Things I've actually done from Pinterest?"

I, for one, would only have 5 things on there. And they would all be desserts. Hahaha, so I decided to change that. Every Thursday is going to be a Pinterest Thursday for me! How does that sound? 

Today - I made a Sailor's Knot bracelet! Woo Hoo! 

Here's a picture and a link: 

Pretty nifty, right? I saw it and I liked it! 

The website said to use a can that was between 14 to 20 oz. 

I picked a 15 oz can, and it the bracelet actually turned out too large for me, so next time, I'll go smaller. 

What a lovely corn can!

This is when I started making the second round (of three).

Here's my finished product. Yeah...it didn't turn out the way I expected it to. But I still like it! 

There was just an ugly patch on the backside. 

So I fixed it! (sometimes my genius boggles my brain) haha

Just kidding about that genius part. Total lie. 

I don't encourage you all to follow my example, I have complete faith that you can all make a bracelet a million times better than mine. 

Hope you give it a try! 

Happy Pinterest Thursday!

(and if you have any suggestions about what other crafts I could try, please let me know!)
