DIY Quote Art

If you are frantically trying to put together a last minute, personal, homemade gift right now, you are probably freaking out. BUT! No need to fear; I have an idea for you! I made this for my best friend and it was not only simple to make but super fun (I do have to remember I am very easily entertained though, so don't get your hopes up...) 

This does take over-night to dry!

1. Supplies. The most important is the artwork. You want to pick something based on color, because that's what you will see. Thrift-stores are great for this because the art can be slightly damaged. You'll also need Vinyl letters. I found mine at Michael's in the wood section. Lastly you'll need spray paint- I chose a satin finish.

2. Placement. After you pick your quote/lyric/etc you need to place your letters. Cutting out around the letters is super helpful.

3. Sticking those Stickers. Once your happy with your placement and made sure you haven't switched up any letters, carefully place your letters right on the painting.

4. Painting! Go to a well ventilated place (outside) and spray the heck out of the entire painting. I had to do four-five coats of white to cover the painting. Follow the instructions on the can. The can does lie though, it won't be done in a few hours. Wait overnight until it is completely dry before moving on the final step.

5. Reveal. After you have impatiently waited (oh, wait that may just be me) carefully, VERY CAREFULLY pull the letters off your painting, revealing your painting again. Voila! You are done! Give your gift and make one for yourself! You can also attach a ribbon to hang from the wall.

Hope everyone is enjoying the Holiday hustle & bustle!

Clothes Hoarding Weirdo ♥

Misty and I just wanted to say HI! I hope everyone's having a good day. You want to know what I'm going to do for the rest of the day?....

That's right, I'll be sitting in my closet. No but really I have absolutely zero space left in my closet. My clothes are currently occupying my closet, my room, my sister's room, my sister's closet and the guest closet. I will admit I have a slight shopping problem. It's always super hard for me to get rid of clothes, or anything for that matter because I attach sentimental value to everything. But it must be done. So I will be brave and try to keep myself together and get rid of some stuff.

Wish me luck...I think I'm gonna need it.

What I Want: Urban Outfitters

I was thoroughly disappointed when I went to urbanoutfitters.com today and saw that my most wanted item was no longer listed! Then I realized I wasn't looking in the right place. Silly me. I would probably buy many (and by many I mean almost everything) at Urban Outfitters, but these are my favorites. 


Dachshund Lamp-$78

All the cuteness of a small dog without all the annoying small dog behaviors. Just adorable. Need I say more? 

 Ion Discover USB Keyboard-$80

I know I have a real upright piano, but this is so portable. 

Lucca Couture Cotton Ditsy Piped Dress- $69

I am in love with the dress. The colors, the patterns, the neckline, the shape, everything. *Sigh*

Antique Leaf Headband- $18

Sorry for being the weird nature girl that I am, but the copper color with the leaves is just completely amazing. It would be difficult not to over wear this one.

That brings my total to $245. Hahahahaha, as if that would ever happen. Oh well, a girl can dream.
