Photography Project

I just got back from an awesome wealth building weekend at my church. It was amazing!!! I'm so excited to start my business and actually try out an etsy store. Between packing, waiting, and moving i'm going to start to develop it first and build inventory. Lately i've been working on a few ideas. Here's my recent work.

I'm going to be working on a series of these. I may sell prints of them on esty as soon as I find a good printer. If you have any verse suggestions i'm game. I'm mostly  going to use landscape photography with it. Well that's all for now. Going to design more of these prints soon! Also the original photography is mine, the verse is from the Bible, NIV.

Oh, Ikea..

Went to Ikea today. Oh my goodness I think I like Ikea way too much. I had a budget and did pretty well at sticking to it. Now I have to save up more money for a couch I like but don't need right now, but in the future maybe, and a dresser. I actually found the dresser on craigslist and replied and waiting, but i'll keep checking craigslist. I love Ikea. It's so inspiring, I love to look at all the showrooms and get ideas for my own house. Which I can't wait to have a home that is completely mine, not a rental, but one I own either on my own or with my future husband (which i'm still contently waiting for him to find me by God's perfect timing... I hope he's cool with Ikea...lol). Tommorow after church i'm going to go to the home improvement store to get some wood to make my own hooks. I bought 6 knobs at Ikea for $1.99 and i'm going to attach them to wood to make hooks to hang my purses because I have no idea what to do with them. They are still currently in the moving box. I also want to make my own spice rack (kinda sounds like a highschool woodshop project, I never took woodshop or any creative electives in highschool, I don't regret it, but I would probably change that if I could.). I don't a spice rack or something that would be suiteable and instead of buying one, i'm pretty sure I can make one. We will see. I need to collect more paint chips too. I bought some bedding and the my bed colors are tan, dark brown, and dark purple. I want to figure out some accent colors so I can make coordinating fun pillows and maybe eventually get some fun sheets.
So a busy day tommorow! I may go to the craft store. I sketched out some ideas on the ride to Ikea and drew nothing but feathers. So I think I want to experiment with feathers and design a purse and totebag with a feather either hand painted on it or something. I'm just feeling like I need to craft soon. It's hard to while involved in the whole moving/unpacking process. So i'll clear away a space and make something pretty tommorow just to get me through lol. Well it's been a long and fun day and i'm tired. Have a good night and later! -Jen

Good to Be Back!

I finally got the internet at the new place which means watching catching up on the latest Project Runway on Hulu, getting back into my amway business, and my photography, and keep up to date with the blog, along with searching for stuff on etsy and new crafts! So excited!
Well I will have a few craft diys coming up with in this month, one is the coasters I mentioned earlier and the other is candles! I bought a candle making kit at Hobby Lobby today and i'm super excited to try it. I've been wanting to get it for awhile because I plan on making candles as a I gift. I think i'm sensing a new addiction coming on! Well, gotta get some house work done, but i'll be back late tonight with a kinda different post than my usuall!
Later, -Jen

Couponing? ...

Ever heard of the show Extreme Couponing on TLC? Well I don't have cable so i've just recently caught a few episodes at my parents house and wow, it's crazy how much people save. I love how a lot of them give it away, but a part of me is concerned for the people who just want to have stock piles of groceries and that makes them feel good. Well, anyways, I think I want to try it. Maybe not the extreme, but I would like to save on my groceries a little more and I love love love free! So here it goes. I bought a paper with ads and coupons and i'm going to start cutting and planning!

Also I hope your having a Happy Fathers Day!

Going on a Puppy Search!

Hey there! Guess what?!?! I'm moving into a house! I am in apartment, but soon i'll rent a house which i'm super excited. And I can finally have a dog!!! So I'm looking into puppies. Here's the top 5 list of dogs breeds I like:

1. French Bulldog



2.) Yorkshire Terrior















3.) Maltese

4.) Pugs

5.) Mix Breeds.

 

The last picture is of my dog Mikey. He passed away last year. He was the best dog. He was a beagle, cocker spaniel, daschund mix. We got him at the local shelter and he was the perfect dog for my family. I will tell the story of him another time. But for now there is my current top 5 list. I actually like all dogs and I know the next dog i'll get soon will be a rescued dog from a shelter. I'm checking petfinder.com lots lately looking for thee right dog! I'll share progress too.

Thanks for reading!

Long Long Blog Makeover and Movie

Hi again! The Blog update probably won't be done tonight. I'm getting quite tired and I have to (I mean I choose too) be up early for church in the morning! I'm still in the designing phase and am working on making it represent me and coordinate, so it may be officially done by the end of the week. I'll keep you posted :)
Also as you may know (or may not) I love Lucy, the actress and show. And I just got done watching Lucy and Desi's movie "Long, Long Trailer" and it is such a good movie! I love 1950's movies.

 It would be kinda fun to just travel the country in a trailer, but that is a long trailer. I think i'de rather travel by car or plane and stay at a hotel.

I love old movies. I think I need to rent Breakfast at Tiffany's again to entertain my while I pack.
Oh yeah, i'm moving at the end of the month. I currently rent an apartment, nice area, but i'm tired of living in an apartment. So God provided a house for rent! I'm so excited to actually have a little yard and experience a house before I end up buying one in the near future. And rent for the house is cheaper than the apartment! I'm stoked! I just need the motivation to pack. It's definitely not my favorite. Well i'm going to finish rewatching the Long, Long Trailor then call it a night.
Nite! -Jen
