Crayon Art

I had to give it a try! I wanted to do it, ever since I heard about it, and now I have!!!! :)

First I tried the traditional...hot glue the crayons on, then blow dry them so they drip!
(I like this way!) I also saw where they take the crayons off afterwards or they have the crayon on it only halfway...I personally like the crayons shown...and I didn't run into any problem.

 *I gave this one to my lil sis!

Second, I decided to unwrap the crayon and then heat it up and move the crayon and direct the heat from the blow dryer on it at different angles to make it turn out how I wanted. (idea came from my friend Kaylee) I wanted to make it look "atmospherical."

 (I used blues, purple, black, grey, and white) *I'm taking this one to college!

Third! (I know 3, sorry!) :P So this one, I took 2 different color green crayons and unwrapped them, but held them at the top of the canvas so the crayon would melt down in a "straight" line, and then after, while the crayon was still hot, I would make a few lines of my own. I turned the canvas around so it would look like flower stems and grass, and then I glued fake flowers onto it!

Try it! I dare you;) It's a blast! Just make sure to cover the surrounding area so it doesn't get everywhere!

You'll figure it out as you go:)

I got a little crafty with the sewing machine

Hey Hey Hey! 

So, since it's summer break, I thought I'd have fun crafting! 

The first of my crafts I sewed! 

And, since I start school soon, I thought I should better post some pictures!!

I first made this super cute pencil skirt out of elephant fabric. 

It passes my knees, and yes my mom did help me put the zipper on like that to make it look super cute and unique! (Not like the elephants were enough) ;)

My second project, which I just finished a few days ago, were some overalls!!!!

My friend Amy and I wanted to make this cute jumper/overall pattern my mom had from when she was a senior! So we bought jeans fabric to make them totally overalls:)

Can't wait to wear them! :)

I am currently working on another skirt made out of lighthouse fabric and lifesavers! 

(using 2.5" wide strips! It's pretty cool!)

Oh Golly! I forgot to tell you all about PARIS!!!!!!!!!! I was lucky enough to go to Paris, France with my awesome parents!!! It was sooooo much fun! I loved every moment! (Except all the stairs..) :) But it honestly was hands down one of the coolest trips EVER! I have WAYY too many pictures to share with y'all....but, I will share the picture of the oil painting I bought! If you wanna see pictures, they're on my fb, or just let me know!

(I just got it wrapped!) 

Friends:)

One of God's greatest creations are people. 

I am so blessed to have the family I have, and consider each and every one of them as my friend, 

but also, I am so glad to have met everyone I did these past 18 years! 

I love each person I have met with and talked to! 

I will miss my friends as I start college, but will stay in contact! :) 

But I am excited to meet more  people and make even more friends! 

Here are a few pictures of some exceptional people! 

I wish I could post hundreds of pictures of everyone, because each person I have met has made an impact on my life. <3 nbsp="" p="">

Graduation!

Sorry it's a week late, but I GRADUATED!!!!!!!!! 

High school is finished! 

I have accomplished 13 years of schooling and I'm off to do at least 4 more! 

But oh my goodness, Graduation night was a blast! I was on a "high" that whole night! It was just fantastic to be done! :) and then with all my family and friends there, it was a blasty blast! 

After graduation I partied hard with my friends until 3 in the morning! 

Which included: bowling, eating, mulan, swimming, eating, fire pits, and socializing while we ate!!  

 My super cute niece and me throwing gang signs and the number 2!

 My amazing family! 

(My uncle and other grandparents left early...and my brother wasn't able to attend)

 My fabulous parents! I wouldn't be where I am without them!
