liar liar

pants on fire. So much for me making it back on here by Tuesday. As much as I would love blogging to come first in my schedule, sadly school reigns that top spot. I'm not sure what I was thinking taking 5 classes this term, but I can assure you, it is not happening again. It was midterms this week and I spent a majority of my time studying for things like my ridiculously hard Earth Science test. Earth Science, really? I love our planet, but give me a break. I appreciate all you folks that are good at that stuff but I am not nor will I ever be. And I am A-OK with that. Moving right along..

Here it is, my last Valentine's Day craft. I am so excited about these little guys! There's a romance associated with glass Coca-Cola bottles that I am in love with. Plus they're just so pretty. I thought they would make a great grown up valentine, and a nice alternative to candy.

All you have to do is cut out a bunch of little hearts, tie a bow around the top of the bottle, and thread the hearts though the bow's ends. Really simple! I am going to write the names of who they're for on the hearts (I just didn't want to spoil it incase they are reading now)!

I hope you guys have a great Friday tomorrow to kick off the weekend! And I hope you enjoyed my Valentine's ideas!

TGIF

 This week has been crazy, it feels so good that it is finally Friday. A break from school, a whole weekend to spend time with my dude and the little dudes, and a whole day worth of the best job in the word. All these things are much needed. I've been a little MIA on my blog this week because I got a brand new position at work doing a lot web wizardry. I now also write this blog for Icon! Getting a blog started takes a lot of work so I'm sure you can understand why I haven't been able to make it over here everyday. I'm really excited about the pictures in the last post I did over there so I want to share them with you in case you don't want to click that nifty little link up there.

I shoot all my photos with a Nikon D60, with the standard lens you buy it with. Yesterday though, I had Nick rent a Nikon 24 mm macro lens from school and (as you can see) the pictures turned out so much better! It's perfect for the kind of pictures I take. Being the girl who constantly has her camera on her shoulder these days this is kind of ground breaking for me. I need this lens! Is it my birthday yet? Nope, 4 more months! Christmas? That just happened doofus! Ahhhhhhh. I found a used one on Amazon for $255, so I guess it's time to save up. All my pennies. Just in case you're reading Santa, I've been really good and you can find my new friend if you click on the picture of him below.

Wishing you all a fantastic Friday, and I'll be seeing you very soon!
