#1  Spiral Images by Chan Hwee Chong

I'm not sure if any of you have seen this before, but I found it amazing.  There is a video below showing Chan Hwee Chong at work, very cool.





#2  The latest Coldplay album Mylo Xyloto

I've been listening to Mylo Xyloto for the past week on repeat.  Love it!  It might be my favorite Coldplay album yet.  They seem to be getting better with time.  You can listen to some of my favorite tunes from the album below.  (Yay for YouTube!)

Princess of China
Charlie Brown
Hurts Like Heaven

#3  Playing dress ups in my old high school dance dresses

I was bored one evening and I found my formal dresses in the back of my closet just hanging there.  So I thought, why not.  They still fit, kind of.  (I'm not the same size as I was in high school, not by a long shot.)  You know, I'm having one of those moments where I'm thinking to myself, "Am I really putting these pictures on the blog?"  And then I do it anyway.  Special thanks to Danny, the photographer for my fashion show.

    I like all your dresses! They are modest and long and you could totally still wear them! Those line drawings are amazing! - Becky

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue th...

The End of the Road

There is a time when things fulfill their purpose and that is how I've been feeling with this blog of mine. When I started it, I needed my own little spot to share my thoughts and random stuff I found online. However, having two blogs has become excessive. It has been a good run (me and this little blog) and thanks for joining me. For now on, I will just be posting on my family blog . It's a private blog, but send me a message or a request if you would like to view it. Thanks to those who have taken the time to read my silly thoughts or look at pictures of my cute kiddo or some craft I made. It means a lot to me. Signing off, Jannifer

Things that brought me joy this week

By
This past week was Melina's birthday!  Since she lives far away, Talena and I put together a hula party in a box and mailed it to her.  We found all of these treasures at the dollar section at the front of Target.  My favorite moment was when we heard a lady gripe about how the discount section was full of a bunch of useless stuff that no one would buy.  At that very moment we turned the corner, with our hand basket full of awesome stuff we had found.  We just smiled. The party supplies The party agenda I was having a bit of a low evening and Danny suggested we go get my latest craving Sonic blasts.   (Ice cream + candy + whipped cream.)  I know you aren't supposed to feed sorrows with food, but this particular evening I made an exception.  Whoever made that Sonic blast was heaven sent.  It had more Reese's peanut butter cups than actual ice cream.  It's like they sensed my heavy heart and tried to heal it with choc...
