inspired.

My new inspiration board has to be one of my very favorite things in my room...

My favorite blogger, who I've mentioned time and again, Carlotta, had an absolutely amazing idea which I just had to try. {You can see her blog post about it HERE.} And seriously, if you haven't seen her blog, yet, please read it because it is amazing, she is an amazingly talented girl!

After a trip to one of my all time favorite stores, Hobby Lobby, I was sitting at the kitchen table covered in glue and paint.

You start out with a blank white canvas...

Then if you want to, you can paint it any color you like...

I actually just wanted mine to be white, but my brothers and my mom each painted theirs, so it's really what ever you prefer!

Then once it was dry, we used a glue gun to put on the close pins...

You can really arrange the close pins anyway you like...

And when it's all said and done, you end up with a really fun inspiration board...which you can put pictures from magazines on, quotes, bible verses...what ever inspires you!

Adore!!

Come on people, you know you want to make one toooooo!

Oh and I just have to show you the cute little monkeys who helped me out...

Aren't they just precious?!

Random Confessions

Random Confession: The chocolates my dad brought home last night are absolutely amazing, amazing, amazing! Don't worry, I haven't eaten the whole box...I've actually only had one, I'm being good. :)

Random Confession: We had CSAP testing this week, and I have to confess that I talked to my friends inbetween tests! Which means that I broke a rule...oops!

Random Confession: I spent all my money on my new ipod touch and a new case for it. And I think I'm in love with it... If you don't have an ipod I would definitely suggest getting one, you won't regret it, ever!

Random Confession: I have a big history test on Tuesday and I haven't started studing for it...not good! :)

Random Confession: Lately, I've been watching the Cosby show every afternoon. You know what the Cosby show is right? It's an old show, so I wouldn't blame you if you didn't! It's completely hilarious! Love, love, love the Cosby Show!

Random Confession: I'm on Facebook way more then I should be...really, I'm quite obsessed. Why did someone invent Facebook, anyways? It's totally amazing, but so time consuming...ugh I love it! :)

Random Confession: I had so much fun baby sitting some neighbors the other night. It was the most fun I had all week...does this mean I need to get out more?

Random Confession: I started a couple new journals recently...I already had my diary which I write in a lot, but I also started a note book where I've been writing about my life in the third person, it's more entertaining then it sounds! I also started a journal where I write notes to my little sister on how to survive life in our crazy family. Hey! One day, I'll move out and she'll have to survive with these people...

Random Confession: Lately, I've been completely, very, into David Archuleta's music. Adore!

Random Confession: I've been praying about applying for a job with Bloom! Magazine. {Click HERE to see their site.} I seems like such a perfect fit for me. It's a Christian magazine for teen girls, and they're taking applications for writers, photographers, etc!! I can't even explain how awesome it would be for me to have my first writing job!! :)

I'l leave you with one of my favorite quotes....

"Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing!"
