John's Birthday (Celebration)

As a preface to the actual post, I'd first like to apologize for not posting my Word of the Days as usual. Things have been quite busy around my house. I'd also like to say that I'm hoping to start posting once a week, aside from my Word of the Days. I'd like to be able to post more often, but, being in school, I do not really have the time. (On the note of school: If you'd like to know what classes I'm taking leave me a comment!) Since I am a bit behind, and I have several experiences to share, I will be doing posts on some that are a week or two old. With that, let me tell you about the amazing day I had with John and G. 

First, we all met at a cute little bake shop that is downtown. We had some coffee and macarons. Their macarons are so cute and really good. While I've definitely had better tasting coffee, it isn't bad. I cannot post any photos because all of my uploads are failing! I took a few pictures of my order, and John took a few of her own order. Hers turned out really well! 

After that, we hit two local thrift stores and I got some good deals. G wore a skirt so that she could try pants on in one of the stores that doesn't have a fitting room. John really like Grandma Sweaters. You know, those ones with birdhouses and bees embroidered on them? Yes. Those ones. It was a very interesting day of shopping. 

After we had finished our thrifting, we went to a Mexican restaurant. I spent quite a few minutes searching the menu for a NORMAL BURRITO! G ended up taking my menu and pointing me to the kids' menu. It had a plain burrito and rice and beans. I was quite content.

After dinner, we went to G's house to hang out. Her mom wanted to see everything we got, and it was wonderful! John opened her gifts ( She got lots of scented things.) I GOT TO HOLD THE YOUNGEST OF G'S SIBLINGS FOR THE FIRST TIME!! Her siblings are great! We ate some banana ice cream and hung out in her room until my mom came to get me. (John stayed the night) 

The day was great, and I'd like to say thank you to John for inviting me!

DIY Birthday Box

 I have my very own John Watson. And she's pretty amazing! (Hello there, John.) While her name isn't actually John, that is what she'll go by for the sake of anonymity. Anyways, John's birthday is in a few days (The 31st, actually,) but because she shares a birthday with one of my brothers, we celebrated a few days early. John, another close friend of mine (Who will go by G, until I can find a better code name) and I spent the day together doing some things that will be featured in a different post. For this post, I want to talk about the Birthday Box (!!) I put together for John. The first thing that I did (after finding a box) was paint the box. I actually decided to add polka dots to it after I painted it. The polka dots were done in hot pink because I wanted to coordinate the stuff, and a bag I used had polka dots in the same teal colour along with hot pink ones. (I'll show the bag later)                      ...

How Many DIYs Can I Make Using Only What I Have At Home?

Image
     I was really excited for this post. I had been perusing Pinterest for a few DIY ideas for another post, and I realized that there were many DIYs that I'd have to go to the store to make. So I decided to keep looking and make a list of some I wanted to do. Then I tried doing them using only what I had at home. On top of this, I made it a rule that I could not look up any directions or instructions. The projects actually turned out very well. For the first project, I took some small glass jars, and painted them. I added a coat of spray paint to three of the jars, hoping to get a more modern look. I used 120 grit sandpaper to lightly distress the other ones. I really liked the distressed ones.  The next DIY was actually just making something look nicer for my mom. I took an old tray, and painted the inside of it a warm grey. Then I painted the border/handles white, and distressed that with sandpaper as well.  This DIY was literally ...
