My Last Few Weeks in Alabama (Instagram-ed Style)

(This post is the definition of bittersweet.) 

I visited family in Memphis for a going away party and good-byes. 

I had my last few, fun weeks at work. 

I explored Tuscaloosa and went to a few new places one last time.

I said good-bye to sweet and amazing friends. 

I packed up my apartment and left my home of 5 wonderful years. 

And now, pretty much all my belongings are in storage, waiting until I use them again. 

Two suitcases and a backpack are what I have for the next 4 months on my new journey. 

Crafty, Crafty, Crafty!

I was very crafty over my Fall Break!
I made a couple of trips to Michael's, a trip to Target, and a trip to Home Depot. 

I gathered my paint, scrapbook paper, felt, hot glue, and the mod podge. 

I painted, cut, and glued. 

I created!  

Enjoy!!

:-) 

Remember those empty canvases above me bed?

Here they are now!

One of my favorite things that I have made so far!
Coasters!
So much fun, simple, and can have any design you want on it!

This is my favorite so far!
Map hearts on canvas.
They are places that I have lived in or been able to serve in.
I hope to be able to add to this in the future. :-) 

This is hanging in my kitchen! 

Have you created anything lately or is there anything that you are hoping to create in the future?

Living the Apartment Life

Wow. So, I really haven't posted in awhile, like over a month. 

I would blame it all on the fact that I have been busy with school and church things, but honestly, it has also been because I haven't felt like blogging. 

But, I am back and hopefully I will be posting, at least something, a little more regularly.
:-) 

For today, I would like to show you around my apartment! There is no more dorm life for me! 

I moved into my place in August and I am loving it! I am living by myself right now, which definitely took some getting used to. 

So, enjoy this picture tour around my apartment! 

My welcome mat outside! 

Dining room area, but since I don't have a table, it is my office!

My patio area


I have to say that my favorite area (besides my bed) is my patio area. I love to be outside, so it is a favorite spot.
I have hung up some more stuff than what is seen in some of these pictures.
If you noticed, the canvas's above my bed are blank. I have plans for them, just haven't been able to do it yet.
I also want to paint something on a canvas for my kitchen and I have some pencil sketches of New Orleans that I am going to frame and hang in my bathroom/vanity area.
I have some thoughts about what to do on my patio as well.
There are a lot of things I want to do, I just have to be creative and get to it!

:-) 

P.S. I might post a video tour later. We will see. ;-)
