Ideas for Mother's Day...

Hey friends!

If your looking for something to make your mom for Mother's Day, here's something a little crafty you can do. 

Reason's why its a good idea:
1. Its homemade, which shows that you put thought and time into it
2. You spend under $20
3. Its something they'll keep forever 

Picture Time!

1. Pick out what base paint you want to show through the cracks. I painted two picture frames that's why there's two colors.
2. Paint your picture frame
 3. Once your picture frame is painted and dry, slab on this crackle paint. It's real easy and you don't have to be careful with it.
 4. Once the crackle clear paint is dry, choose what you want your top color to be. I chose off white. Its really not as yellow as it looks in the picture.

                                                                       TaDa!!!!!

And that's it! Real simple and fun. The picture frame on the right has brown paint and the left frame has blue.

Piant: $1-2 a pc
Brushes: $1 for a pkg of 4
Frames: $3 a pc
Crackle paint: (I think) $4
Photos: $1 a pc

Everything was purchased at WalMart

Update on the move: Go with http://www.pensketruckrental.com/ They're not as expensive and they're friendly. Of course U Haul did say that they would match prices, but I was so pleased with Penske I'll just stick with them.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

I live where?!...

Friday My second day here. Usually I'm ready to head out but I admit, the "get up and go" part of me hasn't really been with it. Of course it's only because of where I live. Where do I live you ask? In the ghetto. That's where I live. I live in the ghetto. Not too sure how I feel about this??? How do I know its the ghetto: 1. I've had several people tell me I live in the ghetto 2. I was just told what streets to avoid 3. Does being a minority count??? LOL... what am I thinking being here?! All for the love of the city life. What I've discovered... 1. It's very dirty here 2. Eeeekkkk!!!! Theres roaches and mice 3. I've been told, "your not from here." and thats not a question 4. When people find out I'm from Texas, they automatically go into hick mode and imitate the word "y'all" 5. Central airing is a rarity, but I do get to sleep with my window open every night... so when it rains, its incredible..

This ain't Texas...

Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore. Zoo York is an understatement. Zoo's are organized and separated. This place is more like Chaotic New York, but then again that doesn't flow as nicely and there for not nearly as many tshirts would be sold... if any. Where I live: Yonkers, NY. Today I got to do something I've always wanted to do... go jogging in the city. I really do love the city, and if I ever come back to Texas it'll be for these reasons: 1. I want space 2. Tired of paying for so much 3. Sick of seeing trash everywhere I look... this really is a dirty city. But seriously, it's so gorgeous up here it'll take a miracle to get me bk in Tx. Now for pictures... There is green everywhere. My apt is on the left. This is what I thought to myself today... Ever wonder why the bad guy (in movies) doesn't realize he's being watched or followed? I think I know why, there's cars lined up the street everywhere. N

Do cats really land on their feet?...

So this blog is a little off the beaten path from what I usually talk about, but I didn't sleep at all last night cause of it... and I would like some input. First though, just a little recap of my latest adventure... sorry no pics today :( Like I've told you before I live in Yonkers. Where this town ends and begin, I have no clue??? Everything just merges together. You could send me to a certain part of this town, and I'll assume I'm still in Yonkers. Of course we all know this'll change with the more I become familiar with it. Anyhow, my roommate was sweet enough to show me a few things about the area, but first you need to understand that she is a fitness instructor.... she teaches Yoga, Zumba, Cycling, etc... the woman's in shape. So yesterday we made it a point to go cycling at 9. The plan was to leave here, cycle together to her gig, and while doing so she would point out some things about the city... like where to go, whats good, whats where, etc. R
