Look at me! I'm crafty!

So I saw this D.I.Y on Pinterest and really wanted to try it out. My mom and I went to Michael's for the first time and, since the stamps were on sale, bought some. The candles were less than a dollar each; I got white and off white.

1.) Put ink on stamp

2.) Roll candle across stamp (covers about 1/2 the candle)

3.) Line up the stamp with the print on the candle and do the other half

4.) Let sit for 24 hours

The finished product :

I messed up a bit but I still like how they turned out :]

Also at Michael's, I bought a 'photo cube' with the intent of putting photos in it and using it as decoration on my desk at college this fall. Instead of using photos, however, I decided to use some scrapbook paper :

I really like how it turned out!

I'm planning to get a few more but instead of displaying pretty designs I'm going to use plain backgrounds and write a different quote on each square.

Have a great day =)

The Romance of Good Order

I've been reading a little bit of G.K. Chesterton lately. I love him! His wit and wonderful common sense are so refreshing. This is an excerpt from his book The Man Who Was Thursday (A Nightmare). 

Gregory resumed in high oratorical good humour.

"An artist is identical with an anarchist," he cried. "You might transpose the words anywhere. An anarchist is an artist. The man who throws the bomb is an artist, because he prefers a great moment to everything. He sees how much more valuable is one burst of blazing light, one peal of perfect thunder, than the mere common bodies of a few shapeless policemen. An artist disregards all governments, abolishes all conventions. The poet delights in disorder only. If it were not so, the most poetical thing in the world would be the Underground Railway."

"So it is," said Mr. Syme.

"Nonsense!" said Gregory, who was very rational when anyone else attempted paradox. "Why do all the clerks and navvies in the railway trains look so sad and tired, so very sad and tired? I will tell you. It is because they know the train is going right. It is because they know that whatever place they have taken a ticket for that place they will reach. It is because they have passed Sloane Square they know that the next station must be Victoria, and nothing but Victoria. Oh, their wild rapture! oh their eyes like stars and their souls again in Eden, if the next station were unaccountably Baker Street!"

"It is you who are unpoetical," replied the poet Syme. "If what you say of clerks is true, they can only be as prosaic as your poetry. The rare, strange thing is to hit the mark; the gross, obvious thing is to miss it. We feel it is epical when man with one wild arrow strikes a distant bird. Is it not also epical when man with one wild engine strikes a distant station? Chaos is dull; because in chaos the train might indeed go anywhere, to Baker Street or to Bagdad. But man is a magician, and his whole magic is in this, that he does say Victoria, and lo! it is Victoria. No, take your books of mere poetry and prose; let me read a time table, with tears of pride. Take your Byron, who commemorates the defeats of man; give me Bradshaw, who commemorates his victories. Give me Bradshaw, I say!"

Such Blessings!

I am just so amazed at what He's done in my life. I while I sat down and wrote this poem. This past weekend I saw my best friend (who is also my boyfriend) and he played for me the song he made it into. He put music to my poem and it was just perfect. The music matched the emotions of the poem perfectly; he has been given such a gift in his musical talent and voice. I was just so grateful, amazed and happy and something I scribbled down a few months turned into a great song for His glory. My God chose me. He inspired me with the words and gave me an amazing guy with the talent to make it so much more. It may seem like a little thing but it shows the promise I have in Him. He can do anything :)
Thank You!Be Glorified!

Skirts & a Song

Helen and I finally took some photos - Enjoy!

I love this skirt of hers; it's so pretty...

...and perfect for twirling!

Here is one of mine. I love the color and since the front is higher than the back so its easier not to trip over (perfect for a klutz like me). 

And now for the song part of this post. I've recently been listening to this band a lot. This song came on while I was making this blog post so I thought I'd include it:

Have a great day & God bless :]

Disciple - After The World

Polyvore Outfit I

Jeeves and Wooster

Lately I've been watching a lot of Jeeves and Wooster; I'd highly recommend it. It was made in the 1990's but is set in the 1920's. There's just nothing bad to say about it. Wooster is a wealthy (and slightly goofy) gentleman and Jeeves it his valet who is very clever and comes up with many good plot to get Wooster and his friends out of the trouble they so often find themselves in. It's very (very) funny with out being crude or stupid and it's...well, classy. Since it's set in the 20's everybody dresses very nicely :P and I mean, they're British so that just adds to the classiness. I must add that I prefer Hugh Laurie as this character of Wooster than his current House. So if you're looking for a clean, funny show, I think this would be enjoyable :)

awesome.

:D

:)

I don't think I'll ever get tired of this song :
