ugly sweaters = photobooth

 

In the midst of finals, my roommates and I decided to throw a little shindig for a small little study break for yummy food, How The Grinch Stole Christmas (Jim Carrey edition), ugly sweaters, good company and some great laughs. Moments before the party, I had a epiphany! Let's have a photobooth! It's not quite as fabulous as professional ones, nor is my flash high-end, however, we turned our back porch into a photobooth! It was a hit :)

We got to capture some wonderful moments and even better [ugly] sweaters. I even added a prop box for added fun. Aren't my friends wonderful?

Ps. BLOGGING WORLD, I'M OFFICIALLY BACK!
No school or work for a whole month :D

Life right now >>>

College life!
I am 2/5 done with my last week of final exams & presentations.
I'll be back soon, with a bang.
I promise.

To my fellow college friends, good luck.
To the rest of the world have a wonderful week!

A little black & white film

Two years ago, I was able to take a Black and White Film class offered at Appalachian. It truly was one of the most creatively inspiring and challenging courses I ever took. I say challenging because the dark room aren't no walk in the park! I was feeling nostalgic about using my manual camera and dug some of these photos up from my old class binder.

I'm on a mission to find the photos that I used for critiques. These photos were either not turned in, or developed just for the sake of developing :]

I hope you enjoy a little of my adventures with my '76 SLR Nikon and the photos I had the lovely opportunity of developing in a dark room. I miss you dark room.

DIY: Tea Bags

I present to you, a DIY inspired by A Beautiful Mess. My lovely roommate Kaleigh & I finally implemented this project for my Her Campus article this week. She was also my hand model!

12. December. Diciembre. Dec.

It seem as though November has come to an end,
& an old friend named December has come to visit.
Hello December.
Did you know I started this blog last December?
Let's just say I took some ...huge breaks in between posts back then ;)
Here's the first post.

Well friends, if you've been following me on the monthly goals journey, it looks like it's time for a little update! You can see the all the posts here. Here's the list and what I've marked off so far.

I've already written 21 thank you notes, so here are the remaining nine! Since all I've been putting in my moleskine lately are lists (school lists really), I decided to write my last thank you notes in there.

So, thank you November.
In the midst of a few bad days, awkward moods, cold hands and confusion, there were more days of joy, discovery, warmth, new friends and good food. You were a wonderful month. I feel more and more blessed every single day.

PS: If you're in Boone and looking for something to do, come out to my group's fundraising event this Friday from 5-8 p.m. during Boone's Art Crawl. All proceeds to go towards a local nonprofit, F.A.R.M. Cafe < -- go to their website for more information. Here's the flyer I made for the event. Be sure to check out the official Facebook page!
