Football, Concerts and Barn Dances to Infinity

Warning: This post contains MANY pictures! :-) 

Last post, I said that the upcoming weekend was going to be a good one!
And it was!

First, not this past Friday, but the one before, I was able to see one of my favorite bands in concert. 

I don't get to go to concerts very often, so whenever I have the opportunity, I will take it. 

NEEDTOBREATHE was in Tuscaloosa the Friday before the Alabama/LSU football game. 

Talk about an awesome start to a great weekend! My friends and I were about 7 rows back as well!

Ben Rector opened up for them and this was my first time seeing him.
He was really good and I loved listening to his music. I got to meet him afterwards as well!

Next, last Saturday we played against LSU.
Despite the outcome of the game, it was a good day. 

Definitely one of the best games I have been to since being at Bama. 

We fought hard. 

I had a couple of friends come into town and they stayed at my apartment. 

Which, I loved! It was so good to have people in the apartment! 

I also got to see one of my friends that I worked beside in NOLA. I hadn't seen him since we left in August!

Me and Cody!

The Quad on LSU Saturday. There were people everywhere!
We had an estimated extra 240,000 people in town!

And this is 3 1/2 hours before kickoff!

Now, fast forward to this past week! 

This past Friday we had our annual FBC/BCM Barn Dance!

It is one of my favorite events during the year and I'm glad that I was able to go this year.

This is my last Barn Dance, but it was a great one!

A Barn Dance isn't complete without IBC Root Beer! 

Now for today.
Bama is playing away and that means that I didn't have to wake up early or be anywhere today.
It is always nice to have Saturdays like that.
I woke up and then stayed in my bed...for many hours....

I grabbed my computer and then had tabs open on Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, and Hulu.

I would definitely classify it has a lazy Saturday.
But, I did complete another DIY project. 

It is an Infinity Scarf, made out of an old t-shirt!
I found this project thanks again to Pinterest! It was super easy and I love the way it turned out! 

Can't wait to wear it! 

Now, I'm at my friend's apartment watching the Bama game!
Roll Tide! 

Hope you enjoyed this post and all the many pictures!!

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?

Just Pin It

Okay, raise your hand if you are addicted to Pinterest.

*Raises hand* 

I am definitely one to admit that I love, love, love Pinterest! 

There is seriously something on there for everyone, something that you love, 

or something that you will want in the future! 

It is crazy. I have to allow myself only a certain amount of time to be on there

or

else I will look down and realize that I have been re-pinning things 

for the past five hours. 

It can be a problem. 

But, I love looking at all the things that are on there.

The food.

 The clothes.

 The backyards.

 The wedding dresses.

 The photography.

The DIY crafts. 

So many ideas flow out of Pinterest and thanks to that website, 

my creative juices have been flowing. 

Here is my first result of being crafty after browsing Pinterest. 

Autumn Wreath

This isn't the best picture (it was taken from my phone). 

But, the wreath that I got the idea from actually had burlap as the cover and for the flowers. 
I only have a Michael's here in town right now (the Hobby Lobby got destroyed in the tornado)  and  I didn't find burlap there. 
So, instead I bought felt in colors that I wanted and used that. 
The covering is felt and the flowers are made from felt.
I then added the buttons in the middle of the flowers. 

Now, for my favorite part of this wreath, it is a foam wreath.
So, I hot glued safety pins on the back of the flowers and then was able to place the flowers on the wreath wherever I liked them. 
This allows me easily take them out and replace them with another fun decoration or different color flowers. And since I chose a beige color as the background, I can create anything and it will go. 

An easily changeable wreath for any season!
