All day, everyday, you can find me doing some kind of art, whether its painting, shading, drawing, or even finding patterns in everyday objects:) I also love to dance.

A Day in the Life of Me
this was just a journal entry that i had to do for dance
~nothing really important~
Surprisingly after I got home from my BFF Christine’s house (I practically live there, if that tells you at all how much I’m over there), I picked up my geometry homework and whizzed right through it (I wanted to finish my bright orange duct tape bag!!) Luckily I didn’t have that much other homework, because I also had other things on my to do list (play Mario brothers, make up a new secret code, choreograph more to my dance, yell at my two dogs for barking at everything that goes down our street, make a sockmonkey, journal, find time to draw, or even check out what’s new on geekcrafts.com) I was petting one of my 3 cats, Dexter (who never leaves my side), but then I got a call from Bailey, and it ended up going from a 5-minute-talk to a 2 hour debate about library books! Haha, well it was fun anyways, and finally after it was all over, I walked in my room to go to bed and realized how much of a nerd I am with all the periodic table, physics, and Harry Potter posters I have up.:) If only everyday was like this...

Babysitting ideas
1.) Bake egg free cookies so they could eat some dough
2.) Go to a park or take a ball out in the yard (tennis, catch, etc.)
3.) Use bubbles, kids love chasing them
4.) Do a simple obstacle course in the backyard
5.) Do a special backyard picnic for lunch or dinner
6.) Hide a small object and have them find it-- play the hot and cold game especially if you're tired
7.) See how many jumping jacks, how long they can hop on one foot etc etc--it will tire them out
8.) Make goop/oobleck and let them play with it
9.) Put food coloring in milk, use small clean paint brushes to paint bread with the milk, put in toaster, the color will stay and they can eat their creation
10.) Do a simple scavenger hunt with picture clues
11.) Jump on the trampoline
12.) Watch a movie
13.) Read stories with them
14.) Play board games
15.) Play with the dogs
16.) Puppet show behind the couch
17.) Play dress up
18.) Draw
19.) Make up a game outside
20.) Play house
21.) I-spy
22.) Hula Hoops
23.) Jump ropes
24.) Roller skates or skateboard
25.) Hide and go Seek
26.) Video Games
27.) Relay Races
28.) Origami
29.) Paper Airplanes

Thank you crab (quilling card)
This card was really basic. The crab is made from a technique called quilling, and if you are interested I recommend this website:http://www.handcraftersvillage.com/quilling.htm
Anyway, I started by making the crab out of an orange-ish piece of quilling paper. I rolled the first 8 legs, and then made the same shape for the front claws, but put them in a three-some. For the body, I rolled three pieces of paper together, and the assembled the crab. After the crab was fully dry, eyes and all, I took my color changing markers and wrote "Thanks" across the rest of the room.
Thank you bookmark card
For this Thank you card, I started with a Background stamp, and I stamped it right on to the blue card with the Cameo coral Stampin' up Stamp pad. In the bottom right corner, I stamped "Many thanks" on to a purple piece, and right before gluing the piece down,I put a ribbon across the top of the card. Then I stamped the Butterfly bookmark, and riveted the end so I could string it to the card. I only riveted the bookmark though, so if the receiver wanted, they could take off the string and use the attached piece as a bookmark.
Nature card
So I am also a crafter, right?
well I like to use Stampin' Up supplies for making cards. Here I used the Hostess 2009-2010 Asian Artistry set. In the background I used a big nature stamp from Joann's that I cut into individual squares, and pasted them on the background (the big wood stamp). Then I wrapped a ribbon around the bottom, and stamped "On your special day" on to white card stock.

New Years
Jennifer and I set up all of the littlest pet shop we have up in the living room. We used a cd tower as the tall building to drop the hamster ball from.( we call it the leaning tower of pizza in Pet Fransisco. Jenn drank a whole bottle of Sparkling apple cider and barfed. Bye!!

FAVORITE AUTHOR: J.K. ROWLING
Almost everyday, Christine and I go to school wearing the craziest knee high socks. Some are striped, some have diamonds, and we don't really care if people think we are weird because it's really just for fun. Most of the time, people will actually come up to us and say that they like our socks. We also wear a thousand watches up and down our arms. After you get used to them, it feels like nothing is there, except for the fact that everyone has to ask you what time it is. One more weird fact, I wear five red ribbon week bracelets on my right ankle.
lastly, I am terrified of things pointing at me. I don't know why, but i have always been that way...

Our trip to San Fransisco
Second Day: We drove over the Golden Gate Bridge and then "heely"ed over part of the bridge, and got to touch it. After that, we drove to the explOratorium where there were illusions, mind tricks, and other cool things. Before we went back to the hotel, we went to Jennie's house (my mom's friend). The adults went off touring the house, but my sister (Jennifer) and I just stayed with Lady, their fluffy calico cat. Lady sat on my lap. After the adults were done, we went to eat at a Korean place with Jennie and her husband, Phillip. When the check came, we got the BEST gum in the world, which is melon flavored. When Jennifer and I were chewing gum I thought of a sister club for just Jennifer and I to be in. It was called the ding ding nose nose pat pat club.When we were playing some games for the new club, my dad gave us some wax, and we made our mascot, Fast Kitty,(like on Jenn's t-shirt) and we also made a rocket for her. IT WAS SOOOOOOOO MUCH FUN!!!!
