Bracelets

 So I don't know if I've mentioned before, but I'm president of the Panhellenic Council of my school.  Basically, Panhel is in charge of all the sororities on campus.  We hold recruitment in the fall and for this, we need a certain number of girls from each sorority to volunteer to be Rho Gammas (recruitment guides) and disaffiliate for a few weeks until recruitment is over.

These girls have done a lot, so the pres and VPRecruitment always get them a gift at the end.  This year I made bracelets for them.  

17 of these babies.  I put the key on them to thank them for being the "key to recruitment."  Cheesy, I know, but sometimes I like a little cheese ;)

Ruffled Streamers and Choosing Joy

Littlest sister turned 16 in October.  Luckily it was over my fall break, so I got to be home for almost a week.  Of course we had a little party for her, and I made some ruffled streamers for decoration (inspiration from MADE). 

Her current favorite colors are orange and purple, and she's the tomboy of the family, so I picked green as a third color.  

And for her present, I painted her a canvas.

Luckily the canvas came in a pack of two...I want one for myself now (:

Grandmother's 90th

This summer one of my grandmothers had her 90th birthday.  

My family got to go down to Pennsylvania to visit, but I couldn't get time off of work, so I made her this poster.

She's German, and my Grandpa, also German, (who passed away when my dad was really little) was in the Army and fought in WWII against the Nazis.  

I love price comparisons...they're so interesting to me. 

And yes, there are exactly 90 candles on this board.  I used my Silhouette to cut everything out.  

Muse Monday: 16

Bad Blogger...and Halloween (late)

I have been such an awful blogger lately, I'm sorry.  Unfortunately, school comes first.  The good news is, I have a bunch of new projects to show that I've been working on here and there.  
So I know it's way late, but I want to show off the boy & my Halloween costumes.  We thrifted outfits and I made both my pins in about 5min. (We had a very long, hectic day & not very many good pics, but oh well). 

Flo & Mayhem. 

If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch these two videos--

When I was down that weekend we went to a football game (yes, I braved the cold for a sporting event) and it turned out to be the game to be at.

When they won, everyone rushed the field.  So fun, and so crazy! 

We were right in the middle of the football team.

But I'm short, so I had bf put me on his back for a better view. 

I pledge to be a better blogger for you all (:
