    New Nail Art Supplies

    Born Pretty Store had a Black Friday special where you could buy a $10 gift card for $2. So for $7.63 ($5.63 was my order total + the $2 for the gc) I got $15.63 worth of stuff. And I finally got the nail stamping stuff I’d been wanting to try.   I got 3 small brushes to use for cleaning off polish. I might end up using one of them for painting though (like art painting on paper/canvas). I picked out 8 stamping plates, a stamper & scraper, a mystery bag and a holder for the stamping plates. The picture for the holder shows both the round and octagon…

    My Ancestry Wish List

    Just a few of the things on my ancestry wish list. Some other things I’d really like would be… Documentation confirming what years my great-grandparents arrived in America.

    Let’s Color! + a Giveaway

Here are a few of my recent pages…   Because I basically just have tons of Sharpies when my mom started getting into the whole thing, she went and bought some colored pencils and thin tipped markers and now we both color almost on a daily basis. And if we are not coloring, we are looking for new pictures to print off and color and talking about it all. I came across…

    Can you spot Izzy?

    Can you spot Izzy? She decided she needed to be behind the pillows and under the blanket so she wiggled her way into the spot she wanted. #beagle #beaglesofinstagram #sleeping #hiding from Instagram: http://ift.tt/1Hm7Ixb

    How are you?

    Hello! Once again I have only posted Instagram posts for the past bajillion (or 1 1/2 months). I am sorry, but then again I’m not. I mean, do you really want a daily post of me saying “I woke up, I played facebook games, I read my newsfeed and email, I ate lunch, I watched tv, played those facebook games again, ate dinner, watched more tv, watched youtube, went to sleep.”? Probably not, but here’s what has been going on. I’ve been sleeping like crap lately and I’m not sure why. I’m doing the same night routine I’ve been doing for almost 6 months. I’m tired when I go to…
