The Giant Fivehead Club

I have a giant forehead. I have, what some may call, a "fivehead". Yesterday I was thinking about it, and there's no way I can be the only one in the world that has this giant forehead!?

And I'm not, the giant fivehead club has many exclusive members!

Are you part of the giant fivehead club?

Way Back Wednesday...

So, chillin out maxin on my computer and I found my old xanga blog. Oh my gosh. So in honor of all of my feelings and over dramatic self in the summer between grade 10 and 11, I thought I'd blog the way I used to...


Dear whoever isn't reading,

Whaddap. I went to the mall with cassafrazzle (shoutouts, yo) and spent way too much money but had a bombdigg time and am super stoked to wear all my new clothes. not like i even look good in them anyways... azn tear.. xD

lately i've been listening to a lot of MCR, thats my chemical romance for those of you not fortunate enough to be a fan... tragic. 

Zanana is coming over tonight, pretty awesome to see her face. my room is messy. i should clean it.

"hmeneanana annmennsnme huuummmnanananananaaa dum dum nanahahhan blahhhh"

And that last one is my big news!! Guess where I'm moving to?! Did you say AUSTRALIA by any chance? Ding ding ding you're a winner!!

My next couple of weeks are going to be absolutely insane. I'm leaving Baker Creek (so sad, I've made myself a second family here) and going home for a while. Then off to Cuba for my very bestest friends 21st birthday! Then AUSTRALIA!!!

A 25 hour plane ride with stops in LA and Sydney and Brisbane... Then a 4 hour car ride to Coff's Harbour!!! Blue sky and beautiful beaches and 30 degree weather here I come!!

Donations are being accepted into my sunscreen fund! ;)

Happy New Year!

Hiiiiiiiii, it's me again. Your friendly oh so scatterbrained blogger friend. But it's a New Year, we all survived 2012 and the end of the world and lived to tell the tale! My last month has been full of working. And more working. And more working. I've been working like crazy to get through the holiday season alive, AND because I'm saving money for a very exciting life changing event. I'll let you in on that little secret soon though! :)

Now if you've been reading my blog ever you've probably seen my write about "Project Life." Project Life is basically the coolest way of scrapbooking your life.. without actually scrapbooking. And it's all started by a different badass named Becky Higgins. Now I'm calling this project of mine project life, but I'm actually using knock off supplies because it was super difficult for me to get Becky Higgins' products in Canada. 

click the photos to see a larger version!

The basic premise of project life is putting photos, notes, and other memories in photo sleeves, and eliminating all of the complicated time consuming nonsense of trying to compose a full scrapbook page. It's fun, it's easy, it's a way of preserving memories.

This is my very first project life page. My 2013 New Years Resolutions. I'm using a 12"x12" binder with multiple photo sleeves.

Along the side I put one of my favourite quotes from Ms. Oprah Winfrey (who by the way *unpopular opinion* should really put someone else on the cover of her magazine. I mean it's already named after you!). It says "Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right!"

At the bottom of the page I cut out ugly stars from the band of a party hat from New Years Eve and wrote 2013 inside of them to add a little bit of sparkle, because what's NYE without a little bling!!

At the very top I put together a bunch of my favorite pictures of the night!

I love this project. I am having soo much fun already thinking about what I'm going to do next week. I'm going to post my new project life pages every Wednesday hopefully for the rest of the year!!

 *This is not a sponsored post I really am this excited about Project Life!*

21 Days of Christmas: Snowflake Tree!

Do you remember yesterday when I reminded you how to make snowflakes? And some people probably read that and were like "duh Bex, who doesn't know." But in my defense, my Aussie friend didn't even know what a paper snowflake was! Poor TJ...

Well here's what you can do with all of those snowflakes! Another quick, easy, and painless DIY!

Okay, so start with a big pile of snowflakes. A skewer, a flower pot (or something equal to a flower pot) and some floral foam. 

I'm sure you didn't see this one coming - put the floral foam into the pot. Yay! Can you guess what comes next? Stick the skewers into the floral foam. Then build up the snowflake tree!

I'm not sure why my .gif is backwards, but I hope you get the idea!

And there you have it, snowflake trees!

The smaller one is made out of scrapbook paper, it looks fantastic!

16 days until Christmas!

21 Shades of Christmas: Merry Christmas Banner

Guess who's back... back again. Becky's back. Tell a friend... (Eminem fix of the day!)

Okay you ready for this one? Ready? Let's gooo! We're going to make a pretty little banner. Yours can say whatever your pretty little mind wants it to say, but mine says  I used red, green, and cream felt. Cream for all the letters. But really, rules suck, do whatever you want. Seriously. Orange and blue and purple? Do it. 

I also picked up one of those nifty letter stencils at the dollar store ON SALE (did you know dollar stores had sales?) for 50 cents.

Okay so see what I did there? I traced out all the letters and then cut them out. No way, right? Who would have ever thought that step came next. But seriously. Look at at that. So easy.

Okay, now cut the red and the green into whatever shape you want. I wanted triangles but since I didn't have a ruler I was like F THAT, let's do some squares. Squares. Woooo! Now glue everything down. I didn't take pictures of that step, although my pretty pink glue gun could have used some close up shots!

Cut some holes, string some string, and baddaboom baddabing you've got a banner! Christmas-y and perfect and cheerful! 

17 days until Christmas!
