Class of 2012


Kyle is officially a high school graduate!


I know it maybe odd to say this, but he isn't just my little brother; he's my best friend. Seriously. We hang out all the time and he gets me better than anyone. Despite having completely different personalities, we enjoy nerding out on the same things and having deep discussions, random discussions.


Anyway, I'm super excited for Kyle and his future endeavors. He's is going to his first college of choice and majoring in Mass Communications.

Christmas Craftiness 2011

Image
I wanted to wait until after Christmas to post what I've made/purchased for the amazing people in my life. I just love the gift tags made from tag rims and scrapbook paper. I used stick on letters for some of the names and I hand wrote the others. Then, I "laminated" them with packaging tape. All the gentlemen in my family are extremely gifted. They either draw or write and they all have creative tendencies (I guess it's in the genes!). I put together mini sketchbooks for them so they can be creative while they are out and about. I used those ever so handy rub-on letters to spell out the words: idea, draw, notes, sketch, and create on the covers (which is just painted cardboard). For the ladies, I assembled these adorable button brooches and hairpins. Cute! As far as bought gifts go, I went the Fair Trade route. I wanted to give gifts that were either hand made or impacted the rest of the world in some way. I stumbled upon STOP Start Cam...

December 2020 Bullet Journal Spreads

Image
Hello December! I don't know about you, but I'm excited to start the last month of 2020. It's been a tough year for everyone and we've finally made it. I don't typically get super into Christmas, but after how hard the past 10 months have been I've decided to make the little things count. I've decked the halls and hung the stockings. Doing anything I can to make it a season full of sweet memories! With that mindset, I decided to make a scrapbook style bullet journal theme. I'd never done a theme using scrap paper before so this was quite a different experience. Without further ado... Overall, this was a fun theme to make and I think it turned out pretty well for a first attempt. I especially love the "Christmas Memories" page to record special moments with the ones I love. I'll be posting a 2021 Bullet Journal set up soon. I'm so excited to show off my new notebook! Be on the look out for that in the next few weeks.

Bullet Journaling

Image
 I've always kept a journal since I was in middle school. I found out quite early in life that my words tend to flow easier through writing than through speech. My jumbled thoughts tend to spill out onto a page if I can edit them a little. My journals were full of personal thoughts, song lyrics I related to, doodles and lists. Lots and lots of lists.  Three years ago while browsing Pinterest for journal prompts, I learned about bullet journal method. A style of journaling that combined life planning, lists, and even quotes and doodles. One notebook that could collect all the things that I need to organize my tasks, events, and thoughts? It seemed like a dream.  I tried it out and have never turned back. Even though I've using this method of journaling for several years, I've just recently started to share my methods on an Instagram account I've titled  Bujo_Fiend .  On this blog, I want to include my bullet journal - the layouts and methods of creating them. I'm...
