Never underestimate a hot glue gun...

As I sit here watching Teen Mom 2 (Can you tell I like reality TV yet?) I realized that I still have a Christmas tree up in my room. Craaap. I didn't leave it up because I'm one of those people that love Christmas trees, no, it's up because I forgot about it and don't feel like putting it away. Maybe tomorrow.

Today was the first day of Couch to 5K. And I must say....I rocked it!! As much as I hate running, it didn't bother me today. I tried this once in the summer, but the humidity of Southern Illinois got the best of me and I quit. But my cousin's Brian and Jamie won't let me quit this time! Ask me how I feel tomorrow.

I am really becoming quite the crafter this past week and it's a bit strange. I finished a wreath that I started last night. I worked on it for about 3 hours last night and fought with the yarn for about a good hour of that 3. Then I finished it today and it took probably an hour or less. I got the idea from pinterest yet again. But more specifically http://thirtyhandmadedays.com/2011/03/yarn-wreath-tutorial-from-angel-face-designs/
The process started with taking a trip to Hobby Lobby. So tough right? I should never be allowed in Hobby Lobby. My mother realized after walking through with me the other day, that she now knows where I decorated my apartment from. It's not my fault that they support my "Live Laugh Love" and Fleur de lis obsession. :)  I bought I Love This Yarn- yarn and felt and Styrofoam circles. Once I got home I hot glued the beginning of the yarn to the circle.

  Then I wrapped the yarn around the whole thing.

 Once it was done, it looked like this:

Then I got to make the flowers! I burnt my finger making the circle gray ones. That was fun.

When I was done it now looks like this:

I was pretty proud of it. 

My brother laughed at me and asked why I would make that. 

And why would someone want that.

Loving sibling.

I found another quote that I just LOVE and I feel like it fits me perfectly. Hang in there, its a long one.

"This is your life. Do what you love and do it often.

If you don't like something, change it.

If you don't like your job, quit.

If you don't have enough time, stop watching TV.

If you are looking for the love of your life, stop;

They will be waiting for you when you

start doing things you love.

Stop over-analyzing, life is simple.

All emotions are beautiful.

When you eat, appreciate every last bite.

Open your mind, arms, and heart to new things.

And people, we are united in our differences.

Ask the next person you see what their passion is,

and share your inspiring dream with them.

Travel often; Getting lost will help you find yourself.

Some opportunities only come once, seize them.

Life is about the people you meet, 

and the good things you create with them. 

So go out and start creating.

Life is short.

Live your dream,

And wear your passion."
