Christmas Nails!!

Hey, hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!! :)

These nails were one of the gifts in my stocking, I thought they were too cute not to share so I figured I'd blog about it.

 Here's the package they came in

 Filers

 tweezers and scissors

clear nail polish

here are the steps I took to do this

1. file down nails

2. clean nails with alcohol

3. apply nail appliques

4. cut off the extra (save it, you will use it on another nail!!)

5.file the little bit of excess

6. use tweezers to pull the excess off

7. put a clear sealer over it.

these are adorable! and so far I've washed my hands probably 20 times and they haven't budged a bit. :)

I will definitely be looking around for other designs out there, I should've taken pictures when I was actually putting these on, but I didn't know I was going to blog about it. :P

I'm Back!!

Hey, I'm back, well... I didn't exactly plan on leaving, but apparently my computer had other plans. :/
My computer crashed almost 2 weeks ago and now it's finally back up and running.

I'm so glad, I have a ton to blog about! I don't have any posts written up yet, but I'll be posting really really soon. :).

I don't know if you missed me, but I sure missed you guys. :D

DIY Christmas Wreath

Here is a Christmas wreath I put together the other day and wanted to share with you guys. :)

 I purchased all these items at dollar tree (except for the foam wreath)
I have gift tissue, decorative balls, bells, garland bells, snowflake stickers and some mistletoe. :)

 I wrapped the foam wreath in the glitter tissue paper, I used modge podge on some areas to make sure it stuck well, I went around the entire wreath about three times with the paper, just until I couldn't see through it anymore.

I hot glued the decorative balls, bells, and garland onto the wreath, 

OH btw that hot glue gun, is well... pretty hot, don't touch it or drip it on your skin, and definitely don't stick your hand in the hot glue you just put on your wreath like I did.

I had fun making this wreath, I hope you will try making one of your own this year as well!! :)

Made with Glue,

Turquoise Love

This beautiful sign started out as an ugly piece of cedar, I really love how it turned out!!

I marked where I needed to cut

Hand Painted Owls

 I started collecting owls quite a few months ago, I really like them so I decided I should make some. :)

Here is what I did to make these cute little owls:

1. Cut the signs out the size I wanted them
2. Sanded them down really well
3. Primed and painted them white
4. Stenciled on the owls
5. Hand painted the little guys
6. Put a clear sealer on them

On one of the signs I sanded down some areas on it and put a dark walnut stain on it before sealing it.
       

Walk Across Texas Complete!!

It's over! I'm done.
I dragged myself across the finish line right before midnight. :P I walked 79.87 miles this week, my legs were so sore (I finished Friday) 

I walked a total of 415.09 miles in 8 weeks, (halfway across Texas)
In the beginning my Mom and I had planned to walk across Texas together, dividing 830 miles between us two, I'm so proud of her, she walked a ton with me and encouraged me along the way. I honestly don't think that I could've finished this without her. Thanks Mom. :)


Here are all my posts about WAT:

Just because I'm done doesn't mean I'm going to stop having walks and jogs, I'm still going to have a daily goal, I'm not sure what it is yet, but I can assure you it won't be 12 miles :P

Thank you for stopping by and leaving encouraging comments!

Disappearing Cookies!

These cookies are really good, I don't know why I rarely make them they're not difficult to make! Three ingredients, that's it. :)

Ritz Crackers
Peanut butter
White Baking Chocolate

1. Take two ritz crackers and sandwich a little peanut butter between them

2. Melt white baking chocolate in a double boiler, don't accidentally add any water to it, once water makes contact with the chocolate, the chocolate then becomes unworkable!

3. Drop your sandwich cookies into the HOT white chocolate, roll them around until all is covered.

4. Carefully remove your sandwich cookie from the chocolate and place it on some parchment paper

(DO NOT BURN YOURSELF!!) :(  

Ritz Crackers With Peanut Butter

Melted White Chocolate

Parchment Paper.... :P

The reason I named this post "Disappearing Cookies" is because I actually didn't get a picture of the cookies... That's right, they all got eaten before I could snap a pic O.O

I will be making these again soon, I hope you will too! :)

DIY Blu-Teal-Ful Birdhouse

I purchased this birdhouse at Michael's for $5.00, I primed, painted and distressed it, in the end it wound up to be a gorgeous little birdhouse, I almost hate to put it outside!

Walk Across Texas Mileage Update #6

 Here is my first post about WAT so you can understand what it's about.

This week wasn't perfect but, it did go well. I walked a total of 55.89 miles this week, I need to walk 147.64 miles in the next two weeks... that's a little over 10 miles a day, I'm sooo close, I'm going to finish this!

This pic describes exactly how I feel when I run, too funny. :P

Thank you for coming by and reading my post!

Have a Great Week,

Walk Across Texas Mileage Update #5

 Here is my first post about WAT so you can kinda understand what it's about.

Okay, this week didn't go as well as I had planned, the next three weeks I really gotta kick it up, like a ridiculous amount O.O

I walked 33.9 miles this week. Over the past 5 weeks I've walked a total of 211.47 miles, sounds awesome right? 211.47 miles out of 415 though... yeah that's the way I see it right now.

I have 203.53 miles to walk in the next 3 weeks, that's almost 10 miles a day... It's gonna be tough and I'm gonna be sore, but it's going to be so worth it!

Wish me luck!

Have a Wonderful Week,

Danimo

Walk Across Texas Mileage Update #4

If you haven't heard of Walk Across Texas, here's my first post about it: WAT!!

I should've posted this Saturday, I've been putting it off because I knew my mileage would be absolutely horrible, I had my wisdom teeth removed HERE on Sat Oct 6th so I haven't exactly been running laps :P

Oct 6th - Oct 12th I walked 27.89 miles.... I was suppose to walk right at 60, yep... my walking has really slacked up. I can't quit, I really want to finish this strong, so that's just what I'll do :)

Have a Great Weekend,
Danimo

My Wisdom Teeth Removal

I had my wisdom teeth removed about a week ago, (Sat Oct 6th). My wisdom teeth were just at the wrong angle putting pressure against my second molars, they were still under my gums so they had to be surgically removed.

Yes, The dark meaty looking thing attached to my tooth is actually my gums

It was quite an experience, I was awake the entire time :P, although I didn't feel a whole lot I heard everything, every snap, crackle and pop. It wasn't that bad though, actually not at all.

I swelled up like crazy! I looked like a chipmunk, no joke. I still kinda do actually.

I've mainly been living off jello, shakes (lots of shakes), yogurt and hot chocolate. I did make mashed potatoes and gravy from scratch, and they were sooo good. :)

Giant Eggs

To start off we have 3 dozen hens and get like an average of 2 dozen eggs every. single. day. I don't know if that sounds like a lot to you or not, but when you're putting them in your fridge every day it's like they're always stacking up on you! Anywho.

The egg in the center is a normal size egg, the other two are very large eggs

First Large Egg

Other Large Egg

 These eggs were huge!! I knew they were going to be double yolks, because they were so massive. The eggs might look a little small to you, well because I'm 5' 11" and my hands aren't the average size for a young woman who may be let's say... 5' 4" :P

Thanks for stopping by my blog and checking out our large eggs.

Sunday 5.63
Monday 7.12
Tuesday 8.86
Wednesday 5.55

Walk Across Texas Mileage Update #1

Okay, so I had planned on posting this Saturday but google messed up... I couldn't log into my account Saturday or Sunday. I'm glad it was only two days, it could've been longer. Anywho!

Here is my mileage from this past week:

Saturday:  7.88
Sunday:  6.39
Monday:  5.21
Tuesday: 11.07
Wednesday: 5.32
Thursday:  9.35
Friday: 7.5

That's a total of 52.72 Miles, My weekly average I have to reach is 51.8. So I cut it pretty close, too close for comfort anyway.

 

Thank you for checking out my mileage, I will be posting my mileage again on Saturday.

Photography

Here are a few photos I wanted to share with you guys, I took these the other day, probably around 3-4 o clock.

I prefer to use minimal editing on my photos, I just like them more in their natural state.
There are a few I altered the lighting on, nothing crazy though.

I Didn't Place These Gloves Like This, I Found Them Just Lying Around. :D

I LOVE This One So Much!!

Poor Guy :/

Oh Dear

I Really Shouldn't Be Under This Tree... Nice Picture Though.

My Dirty Knee :]

 I enjoy photography very much. I hope you can see that I put a lot of effort into taking these photos, not just these, but the majority of the photos I take.

I still have a ton to learn about photography and whatnot, there's always something new to learn though.
