Krissy -

I finally got my sister to come with me to take pictures. I never want to go alone and don't know where good spots are. We went to one park and it was kind of lame. Then we went to a different one that had trails through the woods and it was so pretty!! I got attacked by fire ants though and it wasn't fun. I cannot wait to go again so I can take more pictures.

Easter 2013

Krissy

I miss my family when holidays come around(well, all the time really). My love and I had plans to go to his parents for Easter and I was so excited to take pictures. Then I got extremely sick the week of. I had to miss three days of work, one day of school. It was nasty. I was so weak and lost a lot of weight. Easter Sunday was one of my first days of feeling better but I was still weak and couldn't eat much. Boooo! I wanted so much ham, corn, biscuits, and I filled my plate so much and realized my stomach couldn't handle it all. I was so sad. I did manage to take some pictures though, for the first time in a long time.

Spring Break 2013

Krissy

This was really my first ever "real" Spring Break. Being home schooled most of my life, I never really needed a Spring Break. I never made it a big deal or went anywhere. I wanted to go to the beach so bad, but I honestly wasn't looking forward to going on the week of Spring Break when it would be packed and full of drunk, irresponsible people. Plus, my pretty Mama was down here visiting from Wisconsin and I felt so guilty leaving her. With all my worrying, I was extremely unaware of the fun I would have.

Pizza Muffins

 Krissy

I have not posted in quite some time and am about to post a lot! I always want to go out and take pictures but never know where to go around here. Well the other day, I finally went on an adventure. I had a goal in mind to go out and take photos, but I can't post much from it because my goal was a present for someone. I doubt they would come here and see it but I better be safe.

Anyways, here is a different kind of post. I have had a Pinterest for quite awhile but I have become addicted to it lately. Whenever I'm bored, It's where I go. Like everyone does, I always pin cool things I want to try, but never try them. I am getting better at it though. I am trying to grow out my hair and get it healthy, so I am currently trying coconut milk treatments. I laugh at myself, I really do. Recipes are the number one, "I have to try this but never really will!". I tried one the other night though and that is the purpose of this post. I'm writing too much so I'll finish inside the post...

Little Bird

January - Coffee Filters

Krissy -
Trying something different. A craft-y post, and textures. Ooooh.
I see many things on Pinterest that I want to make but this one caught my attention. I love huge lanterns and lights that hang from the ceiling but of course they are way too expensive(for me anyways). When I found this tutorial I couldn't resist. Like I said, I found it on Pinterest but the post is from Jones Design Company.
I bought the styrofoam ball for $6 at Michael's, and she said she used 100 coffee filters so I bought 2 packs(just to be safe and thank God I bought two) of 100 for 89¢ a piece at Target. This was such an easy project but of course I made it the longest, most difficult project ever.

Separating and folding the filters was the most time consuming part. I also burnt myself multiple times with the glue gun.

Christmas Vacation

Krissy -
My sister and I went home(Wisconsin) for Christmas to see our parents, sisters, nieces and nephew. It was beyond fun since we hadn't seen our parents for 6 months(way too long) and our sisters for over a year. It was so cold and snowy but without that, it just doesn't feel like Christmas.

I did not have snow proof clothes or shoes. I never did when I lived there either, though. :p

Jacksonville zoo

My family went to Jacksonville after Christmas to spend time with family up there and had such a lovely time. My niece, sister-in-law, mom and sister went to the zoo and it was so fun. I think I was more excited to go than my niece because I just really love animals. I took sooooo many pictures and how I have 17 of snakes I have no idea (since I'm terrified of them and no I'm not posting any.) I loved watching my niece and sister feed the giraffes and pet the sting rays. We also went to the bird house, minus mom and sister-in-law because they don't like birds. My sister always manages to have birds land on her head hehe. - Chelsey

Also, I'm doing 365 again this year :)

Winter

Krissy -
I'm on day #2 of winter break and I am bored already. I spent a little bit of time on Pinterest and got inspired to make crafty decorations for my room. Sadly, I currently lack the supplies I want so I settled for photography instead. I wanted to get some Christmas/winter-y photos but I didn't find much.

Winter trees? Not really available here in Texas.

October 2012

Krissy - 
I haven't went for a walk to take pictures in a couple months. There isn't anywhere close by that is good for picture taking. :( This was an adventurous walk though - a cop stopped by me to talk about deer, and I twisted my ankle and almost fell down.
