ok, it's been almost a year since i've posted last time. i'm changing that game. i will be posting much more often again. sorry that i haven't been posting. sometimes life gets in the way of things and then it's been so long you don't know how to go back. but now i'm back. back from outer space. hehe.
so today's post, i thought i'd just share a board i have on pinterest. so when i find a project on pinterest, whether it be cross stitching, cooking or some kind of DIY project, i will post it in one of my many boards in my pinterest profile. but then once i've actually completed the project, i will move it out of the original board and put it in a whole new board. i call the new board: Things I've Actually Done That Are On Pinterest. a friend from work gave me the idea of the board, and i thought it was a great idea. i have a bunch of cross stitch patterns in there, but there is other stuff i've done. food i've made, mod podge projects, just tons of stuff. i have 81 pins in the board. some of them where fun to make, some where a pain in the ass! but over all i like the projects that are listed in that board.
ok that's all from me today. i will be back with more to come!!!! have a good friday!

it's alive!
hey there! i'm really sorry it's been so long since i've written. time just gets away and then i feel like i'm running to catch up. so this post is just going to be an update post. and then i'll get back into the swing of things. sorry about that.
lets see...
family - yesterday was my cousin anna's high school graduation party. i can't believe anna is that old! i remember when she was born! yes i'm that person now. hehe. at least i don't pinched her cheeks or anything. hehe. at the party of bunch of my moms family that i don't see very often was there. cousins of cousins kind of family. so it was nice to catch up with them all.
playwright - well one of the cousin of cousin - my moms cousin lee is an acting teacher in new york at a special high school for the performing arts. and he said they are always looking for new scripts to perform. so he said for me to email my scripts to him and his students might perform them. so that made me very happy! i'm going to send him the first play i ever wrote. which is an adaptation of 'the things they carried' by tim o'brien. i wrote that for my senior one act in high school. and i've always been proud of it. so if it gets performed, i'm just going to have to take a trip to new york and see it performed and see the city! hehe. so i hope it gets performed. if not, i understand. but if it does, that would be amazing!
weddings - my sister marianne is getting married! caleb is the new addition to the family. i've met him over skype. i know not the best way to meet someone but when you live across the country from each other, that's about as best as it's going to get; until you travel there that is. so the wedding will be in october. which of course is two months after my step sisters wedding which is in august. so many weddings, so little time!
work - i've been at my new job for 3 months now. i really like it there. the people are very nice and fun to work with. it's a laid back job but at the same time they are demanding of my time. it's an very good balance of working hard and having fun at work. like the other day we all were given little pots with flower seeds to grow while we were at work. like we were doing a 3rd grade science project. but it was totally fun. it took about 30 minutes out of our day, which was a nice little break in the work day.
letterboxing - now that the weather is nice again i've been going out letterboxing. it's so nice to go out and do it again. i've been going just about every monday. since i have the days off, it's a nice way to spend my time. and there are so many by me that i haven't found! it's like pokemon, i must catch them all! hehe. me and a friend are talking about taking a road trip just for letterboxing. which i think would be totally awesome! we haven't picked where to yet. but i've very excited for the idea of a road trip just for letterboxing!
photos - check out my flickr account and instagram account for pictures from the last couple of months. too many to post on this. hehe.
well that's all for now. i will update much more now. sorry about that. until next time!

the good hearted people of the world
with the bombing at the boston marathon this week, there has been an out pouring of good heartedness all over america (and really there is this good heartedness all over the world). any time there is a tragedy, together we as a people stand up and say no. that we are one and we will get through all of this. oklahoma city bombing, columbine hs shooting, 9/11, boston marathon bombing to name a few. after all of these tragedies we have come together as a country and said we love each other and we will stand by each other.
with this in mind i thought i would share the different website/groups that are of this same mind. all of these groups share that same warm fuzzy feeling of people standing together and saying we are one. we love each other. you are not alone.
-RAINN - (Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network) carries out programs to prevent sexual violence, help victims and ensure that rapists are brought to justice.
-project unbreakable - The mission of Project Unbreakable is to increase awareness of the issues surrounding sexual assault and encourage the act of healing through art.
-more love letters - We’re going to tell you that we write and mail love letters, handwritten love letters, to strangers in need all over the world.
-post secret - PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard.
-soldiers' angels - soldier's angels works around the world to address military-related needs ranging from deployed support, to wounded care, to remembrance of the fallen and a wide variety assistance to military families.
-live through this - Live Through This is a collection of portraits and stories of suicide attempt survivors, as told by those survivors. It strips the issue of anonymity and encourages survivors to own their experiences publicly and proudly.
(i'm sure there are many more sites out there that i haven't mentioned. these are just a few that i know of.)
and as a last thought, i thought i would share the national anthem that was song at the first boston bruins (the nhl team in boston) game after the boston marathon bombing. it just sends chills down your back when you see/hear this! again just another reason i am proud to be an NHL fan. :)

letter of pictures
so i tend to stay home a lot and putz around. i try to fill my time with more then just watching netflix. i love netflix, but i need to do more then stare at my computer all day. so i follow a bunch of different blogs and look on pinterest to get inspired. well i found this project and decided to make it for my mom for mothers day. it's a wood letter that i pasted pictures of the family on. the letter i chose was F for my moms last name starts with that. i then pasted different pictures of me, my siblings, grand kids and pictures of my mom and my step dad. for the first time doing this project i thought it turned out pretty well. here are some pictures of the finished product.
the finished product.
the top edge - my sisters eyes. i love how this turned out.
a close up view of the finished product.
the side edge - my sister in law. i love how this looks.
