Start of a New Year

2015 is coming up and it will be my third year participating in project life. Well really my second year because in 2014 I started and kept putting it off for the next week and just decided to not do it and give up. But now I regret not documenting 2014 because we had a big move and Cameron's second birthday with her father since her first one he was deployed.

Now I know there will be a bunch of blog post talking about what you need for project life and Im not going to bore you with the details. This year I wont be using a selphy to print my pictures, I hated mines and I sold it after getting it for a birthday present. I wont be using a project life kit because I dont want every page to look the same.I like the hodge podge look. One thing I will make sure this year to do it use more creativity with my layouts and put more detail into them.

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Hope you have a great one

bible journaling

when i moved to texas i wanted to go back to church and learn more about the bible. on pinterest i was looking up bible study and trying to get tips and how i can bible study at home and i came across bible journaling. its basically bringing the word of God to life, for me anyway. it involves my loved of crafting so i knew i wanted to do this. 

Old lady status

So since all of my craft stuff are gone I decided I needed something to pass the time. I needed some small and compact because I didn't want to carry a bunch of stuff with me, then I though of cross stitching. I did it once before when I was younger so I got the jist of it down but the patterns I've been looking at are more for older ladies and I wanted something fun. On Instagram I came across a company call the frosted pumpkin stitchery and I fell in love with all the patterns. In one week I bought six patterns. This one is called legendary friends and I love the little unicorn. I should have used a lighter color fabric but this is the first pattern I finished, just waiting on my black thread to come so I can put eyes on the little girl and the unicorn.

So exciting!!!

The movers came on Monday and took most of our things, we'll all of our things the only things left are kitchen stuff and my husband army stuff. That will be shipped at a later date. But for now we are leaving out of suitcases and trying to make the time go by. Only a month and a half left and back to sweet ole "merica". I can't wait to go to walmart, to the movies, to the mall. I feel like we will get back to regular life. That's why it's so exciting.

My make-up kit

So I cant believe the movers will be here next week, time is flying by so fast. Lately I have been putting this aside so I can pack them in my suitcase and today I gathered all my makeup supplies that I will be using for the next 2 months. It doesn't seem like a lot of stuff but once I hit the states I'm buying all the new stuff that came out while I was here that I couldn't get so my makeup collection will grow even more. Its a bunch more eye shadows and lip glosses that I cant pack so I just pack what I would need so I wouldn't look so hideous. I packed my various brushes from sigma brushes and target. My MAC lipsticks in hug me, ruby woo, film noir, syrup. Wet n Wild lipsticks in 916D AND 918D. Lip glosses in MAC big baby (my all time fav lip gloss). Covergirl lip gloss in papaya splash. CO Bigelow lip gloss in magenta mint. Clinique chubby stick in woppin watermelon. MAC Fix+, Rimmel makeup remover, E.L.F. mist & set, and of course carmex to moisturize my lips. NYC lip liners in 956,952,957A, NYX lipliner in 810. Urban Decay NAKED pallet the original one that first came out, eyelash curler, NYC liquid liner, Covergirl lashblast lenght mascara, Too Faced shadow insurance (don't like it), Rimmel london white eyeliner, Maybelline define-a-brow in medium brown. MAC mineralize powder in dark, MAC blush in coygirl, Make up forever full cover concealer in number 14, Black opal concealer in toast, and lastly Revlon colorstay foundation in caramel for oily skin. That's all the makeup I am going to take with me, nothing more and nothing less, unless you count nail polish as makeup then I'm taking more.

Ugh...

So our internet went out last night and I swear me and my husband couldnt figure wou what to do with ourselves. Overseas I watch the latest tv shows and keep up with my friends, my daughter watches peppa pig and nursey rhymes on YouTube and my husband plays video games with his friends. I sit back and think about when I was younger and we didn't have internet and I really didn't care but now it's like I need it, that's another reason why I can't get back to the states I didn't need internet I had a life.  

The tale of one book

I just love reading young adult novels, even though I am a grown women with a husband and a child. I can sit here and tell you I haven't really read a book in about 4-5 years. Yea ridiculous right. The last book i read was precious and I read it because I knew the movie was coming out and I wanted to know all the details that the movie would leave out. I was once the little girl that would carry some type of novel with me and read it whenever I had time. Books took me to another place and I could always image the words in my head and how they played out, like a scene from a movie. Recently I was on Facebook and I saw some of the ladies from my neighborhood start their own neighborhood book club. At first I was offended that they didn't even ask me if I wanted to join but then then I thought I'm leaving this place so why would I care. That had me thinking I should read a book myself. I didn't know what to choose from because it's not like I can go to the bookstore and browse the rows and rows of books and I didn't want to go to the library because I'm still waiting to be called to pick up a book I requested last year. Yea the library on post has a super long waiting list. I just happen to hop on Facebook and bam there on a page I follow they was discussing "The Miseducation of Cameron Post" they was saying how young adult books and still relevant for adults and this is a book you should read. Got more into the post and I thought I really want this book. Who wouldn't want to read a sexually confused teenager living in Montana with a bible thumping aunt. So I quickly downloaded iBooks on my iPad and looked it up and bam there it was for just 5.99 how could I not pass that book. I've been reading for two days now a chapter a night but last night I read two chapters because I couldn't sleep. I have to say I am very into it and can wait to see how things turn out.

Ugh...the dentist

Today is the day I go back to the dentist. This place I loathe and hate with all my heart and I am a scared little baby but it has to be done. The dentist knows to put me to sleep every time I show up. I cannot be awake when they are drilling in my mouth because it's a deep rooted fear of the dentist that happened when I was a child. I was the only child out of 4 kids that was born with bad teeth. Don't get me wrong I never needed braces or major work I guess my teeth just liked getting cavities. So all those trips to the dentist and being shot up all the time over time my fear just increased so now at 30 years old the dentist has to give me pills to calm down and put me to sleep because if not I told him I would punch him in his face.

Happy Mail

Oh what a wonderful thing whenever I get scrappy goodness in the mail. And one store that makes me happy is paperissues I swear when I get that hounds tooth wrapped package my heart skips a beat and I just stare at what I just received. This package contains the chipboard stickers and coordinating paper from the Crate Paper "Open Road" collection. To me Crate Paper has the best collections all the time and they never fail me. When I saw Cassie over at paperissues had this I knew I had to snatch it up. With our upcoming move I knew this will go well with all the pictures I plan on taking,and this time I don't plan on missing anything.

A bowl of cherries and a IPad

Here in Germany it summer and what happens in summer...the best fruit is in season and I picked up one of my favorites. I know last summer I went and picked my own strawberries with Cameron in her carrying case on my chest and for 5 euros I came out like a winner. To this day I still have some in my freezer I use for smoothies. I've also heard you can pick your own cherries but I've never seen anyone do it. For this giant bowl of wonderful I paid 5 euros. I was on my way to the post office and a man was selling them from the trunk of his car. I swear I've been looking for them because my friend Shaka had bought some a few weeks ago and I wanted my own. On post at the commissary I know for what I paid for these I would not have gotten so many. I like to buy my fruit off post at the German stores because they are much fresher and less expensive. Hey I'm a girl that loves her fruit, if I could I would just eat fruit all day. 

Could someone tell me why I have a IPad in my kitchen on the floor...oh that's right I have a Cameron. I don't consider her a baby I consider her a entity by herself. I swear the things she do I just want her to stay a baby but I know its not possible.

Never could take a good picture

This is my family on the 4th of July. My husband always messes up the pictures because he refuses to smile because he thinks its funny. I don't because it suppose to be a fun day and I know we were both having fun but to someone looking at the picture they would think he hated it. That man gets on my nerves. We didn't got to any BBQ's because everyone we know is in the process of moving back to the states. we had burgers and fries for dinner, my husband went to the movies while me and my daughter stayed home, the movie he went to go see I really didn't care for. When night came we headed to post to see the fireworks and i was determined to get me some cotton candy...well I saw the booth but I was not going to stand in that line so I said forget it. When the fireworks started I thought Cameron was going to like it but boy was I wrong. I never seen her eyes get so big and she ran to her daddy to protect her, we both kinda knew she was going to act that because this would be her first time ever seeing fireworks so we had to leave the show early. As I was leaving I did get to get a few shots but they were blurry except one. I hope you like it.

Where is my paper cutter???

So I'm in the process of moving from Germany back to America and I'm going through my craft supplies putting things aside so I can craft while traveling, but in the mist of things I misplaced my paper cutter. Do you see it because I don't, well it doesn't matter anyway I never like it. I've been eyeing this paper cutter but for right now I can't afford it, maybe after the move I can get it. Check the hello kitty socks, I'm surprised my socks match today.

Just the one child please

This is her. The crazy hair, pink shoes wearing, YouTube watching baby girl that I love with all my heart. This is the only child that I will EVER have because lets face it raising kids are hard and I don't want to do it again. I'm good with just the one thank you very much.
