I'll be okay

      It's been three months now, and it's been rough. But I'm slowly learning to live without them. it's hard standing on my own, with out them as my crutches, but I've some new friends. Things are looking up, but I wont try to hide it, things were dark for a little while, but now I'm back and better than ever.

that concludes myself-excuse for not being active lately.


       One thing that did come out of all this is a poem I'm rather proud of and a picture to go with it.

I feel like a sinking ship,
taking on water,
slowly but surely being over powered
by the weight of the newly found poison seeping in.
Dragging me down beneath the waves.
For an eternity I struggle.
Until I can no longer hold my breath,
forcing me

to surrender myself

to the darkness consuming me.

 

 Sorry for the weird format I don't know why it did that, but I cant fix it so... yeah

 

New Year? 2017

    I hope everyone's new year is off to a good start. We're only 20 days into 2017 but to me it's been a very long 20 days.

    Everyone always hope for better with the new year, having high hopes of a less sucky year. Now last year for me wasn't all that bad the last eight months were the best for me. but this year didn't get off to such a great start. It took about 18hrs into the new year for me to realize that things weren't going to be as great as they seemed.

    New years eve I spent the night a friends house. It was her, her family, our best friend,  my sister and I. Things were going great we were all having fun, we stayed up till 4am and then got back up at 8:30 for break fast. We left her house around noon, our other friend got picked up a few minutes before me and we said our goodbyes, hugged and said we'd see each other Thursday. 

    Me and my best friends always talked every day, well Alex and I did my other friend is always super busy, but after getting home a feeling of dread settled over me. I tried to shake it but it hovered over me like a dark cloud.

    I didn't here from her for the next two days. Tuesday I texted and asked to if she could take a look at something I was working on if she had a chance. her response: 'busy'. that feeling that had been seeping into me for the past two days sunk further into me. She'd never blown me off like that before. By Thursday I was very worried, I didn't know what was wrong, or why she was being silent. Thursday; When she entered the room there was sinking feeling in me again. The tension in the room was electric. I could feel my so called best friend ignoring me. I tried to talk to her but she just snapped at me then went to get coffee. at that moment something broke in side of me.

    She spent the rest of the day avoiding me and ignoring me. I didn't know what I did to deserve such betrayal. when I got home that night I fell apart, no longer able to hold my self together. I tried the next day to ask her what I did and that I was sorry, even though I didn't know what for. the day after she responded with some dumb little reason, that she could have just talked to me about, but she chose a course of drastic measures. I never thought something so insignificant could cause so much damage.

     We haven't spoken since. I've fought for her, to keep her happy, for so long; I wondered how anyone could just throw away something so special so easily and everything we'd been through together. but at that moment I realized that no true friend could have and all that time was a lie. i'm done fighting for her. if pushing me away is what makes her happy then, I have to let her go and move on.

 

Slime



 How to make Puffy Slime!

 

What you'll need:

                                                                      What I used:

• Elmer's glue ( 9oz bottle)         [Walmart $2.97- clear]   [makes 2 batches]

• Contact saline solution             [Walmart $2.96]

• Shaving cream (gel formula)    [Walmart $1.97]

• Food coloring (optional)          [Walmart $3.21 - gel 4 pack]

• fine (optional)                          [Michaels $1- 4pack by studio G]

• Storage container (optional)    [Michaels $2.97- 3 pack]

• medium size bowl to mix in
• A stirring utensil preferably a disposable plastic knife  
• Measuring spoons                                                                  Total: $15.08

                                                                                          prices may very from store to store 

 

 

            Obviously you don't have to get the last 3 items you can use the things you have available around your house. I making slime as gifts for my friends in the spirit of Christmas and holiday cheer. You can use Elmer's clear or white glue both work but I prefer the clear, I personally think it has a better elasticity and shine. 

 

 

 

1. Start by pouring half your glue into your bowl,
2. Then add your food coloring if you want it. you'll only need 1 or 2 drops.
3. Stir thoroughly then add 2 1/2 tbsp. of shaving cream, stir.
4. Now add 2 table spoons of saline and mix until everything is fully incorporated.
5. When the consistency becomes so that you are able to pick it up
6. Now need it in your hands until it becomes the desired consistency.
7. If the slime is too sticky add a little more saline, if the slime doesn't have enough elasticity add some more shaving cream.

 

             when done pack and play.

 

 

      

               

nonexistant november

      Hey guys sorry November was supper crazy busy for me, and just kinda slipped through my fingers. but I'm back so yeah, the main reason I didn't have time was because I was apart of Nanowrimo for my first time and that practically took over my life last month completely.

      For those of you who don't know what Nanowrimo is, its basically the acronym for: National Novel Writing Month, during this month you have a word of usually 50,000 words and the main object is write a novel in a month. I still counted for the youth division though for the first and last time, as I am getting very old and will exceed the age limit for the youth division next year.

      Any who my words count was 20,000 words and I made it to my goal, however my story is only about 60% done.

      In the mean time while I work on setting up stuff for the rest of December, please enjoy this photo of a camp fire I took back in October while on Lake Umbagog NH

Logo?

 

So this is just a little something I've been working on

and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I guess you

could call this my logo of some sort? but I spent 6 hours

sketching, re-sketching, drawing, and coloring to get what

 I have now. I just wanted to share this because its a big step

for me in the direction I'm going.

Orange

That's right I've done it I've written a poem about the color orange 

Orange

There is a word 

A word with out friends

A word who has feelings

And believes the world may end

This word has a family but their all adopted

Color they have in common 

But that's the only thing

There is word 

Who worries about life 

He fears the end with a great strife

There is None like him 

And he is like no other

All of his family 

They All rub it in 

That he will never find 

 Single a friend 

Who will rhyme with him.  

Forever alone just like me 

The color orange a word he maybe

But forever he holds a place in my heart

The brave little guy always try's hard.

Ice cream boy

  Warning no craft content in this post.

 

 

 

    

Bonjour, mon amies,

(Hello, my friends)

 

 

        I'm feeling rather French today, but anyways its story time.

 

 

        Once upon a time, in a land far, far, away...

        Nah I'm just kidding.

 

        So several weekends ago my family, I and my best friend went camping. (Long story short) We went out for ice cream one day and the guy at the ice cream place was one of the hottest guys we(my best friend and I) ever seen his eyes are the iciest Blue eyes you'll ever see. We watched him he watched us and after the awkwardly long time we sat there and my father shouting inappropriate comments in hopes of destroying what little composure we had. we decided it was time to leave. as we left though the boy open the window to say bye to us and watched us go.

 

unfortunately we have no photos of him, nor do we no his name or age. 

 

       Anyways to get to the point of this post; I was listening to the radio to day and this song came on that reminded me of him. song link below \/

 

song:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mYBSayCsH0 

 

note: replace the 'her' lyrics with 'him' and it will make more sense

Happy birthday to me!

 

      So, If you cannot tell I am completely and utterly obsessed the show called Arrow

staring Stephen Amell and Emily Bett. 

      Since season 5 of Arrow premieres Wednesday, October 5, 2016 8|7c.

      I thought it quite appropriate to celebrate that and my birthday. Thus inspiring me to make the cake for my party Arrow themed.

 

Arrow Season 5 trailer:

 http://www.cwtv.com/shows/arrow/cant-be-stopped-trailer/?play=05ef88e9-b4ab-4efb-965a-8805f2fc4562

 

 

How I made it:

 

The arrows: 

• For the 'shaft' of the arrow I took 3 wooden skewers and painted them with liquid green food color.
• For the 'Fletching's' I used a ruler to draw out the shape I wanted on cardstock. Cut it out and traced 3 more (1 extra just in case). Then I took Dark green duck tape, covering the cardstock and taping them on the back to the 'shafts'.

The cake:

• The bottom half of the cake is a single layer off 9"x13" yellow cake.
• The top circle half is a single layer of 8" round chocolate cake.
• It's frosted with white vanilla butter cream and piped with Green vanilla butter cream.

If you have any questions please ask, I'd be happy to answer.

So this is a drawing I did of Mark Luckenbill (right) he's given me a lot of inspiration and hope for my dreams. He's so talented and handsome. Here's the link to his cover of 'Kick the dust up' - Luke Bryan > https://www.facebook.com/MarkLuckenbill/videos/847518705342181/
I absolutely love small town country singers. Mark is from Reading, PA, which is one of the reasons I think I love him so much.

 

Hey guys sorry for lack of posts but I'm back so yeah.

 

just a reminder that there will be new posts every Friday.

 

in the mean time here's a little something I've been working on.
