Consistently Inconsistent.

I haven't forgotten about you, little blog, and followers. (Are there even any followers left besides my mom?) You come into my mind almost daily when I think "this would make a good blog post," or "it's been over a year now that I started blogging, I really should write a post about that." The best laid plans of mice and men, right? I always have the best of intentions to sit down and write about something—a little update, a small event I went to, something, but I always get distracted.

I think I kind of shot myself in the foot a little when I branded this blog as a DIY blog. Even when I first started writing, most of what I did was recipes (not DIY). Something that blocks me from writing, I think, is just that. This is a DIY blog. I don't feel like I can just write whatever on here. When I have more time to sit down and actually tinker with my blog, I'm probably going to rebrand as more of a lifestyle thing. Until then, an update, I suppose.

Christmas was good. I got a lot a cool presents, like a Tarte makeup set, and a set of one-of-a-kind drinking glasses that have chalkboard on them so I can write stuff on the glasses. A very meaningful gift that I got from Bill's mom was a double feature DVD with White Christmas and It's A Wonderful Life, two of my favourite Christmas movies.

College is just taking too much of my time up to do anything. As it is right now, I'm procrastinating speech homework due in class in an hour. I should really get on doing that. but for the recap part, I finished my first semester with a 4.0! How I did that, I don't even know. But I'm still proud to say I did it, and hope that I can do it again this semester.

I'm still working Wegmans, and just recently started working in the new Godiva shop that we have within us now. Tomorrow is the grand opening and my first real day in the shop. It's pretty exciting.

I've been going to the gym and made a new best friend through that gym and we're pretty much soul mates and I love her and oh my god brain twins. "Hi, I'm Mr. Meeseeks, look at me!"

Speaking of going to the gym, Bill is being a really great help and motivator. He says for every ten pounds I lose, he'll buy me one new article of clothing. A new top, a new pair of pants, new workout shoes. Whatever. And then when I hit my goal weight, he said he would restock my entire wardrobe. HOW BIG OF A MUSH IS HE?! I'm so grateful that I have the loving and supportive boyfriend that I do. He just turns me into soup, I feel so warm and fuzzy.

I think I've hit on every point... Mostly I just wanted to drop in to say hey, I miss you guys and I'm working on actually sitting down and getting my shit together and making this blog work. 2014 is my year and I won't let things fall by the wayside. That being said, it's time for class, gotta bolt!

DIY Heart Frame {A Guest Post}

Howdy Life, Love & Pinterest Fans!  I'm Rachel and I blog over at Can't Google Everything!

Since it's Heather's birthday week I wanted to help her celebrate by sharing a fun and easy craft with you guys that you can make for someone special for their birthday, anniversary or other holiday!  I found this idea on pinterest and decided to make it for my husband for Valentine's Day last year!

Pinterest Version:

So there wasn't much with the pin as far as directions go so I kind of made up my own!  Here is my version:

I picked out 6 places that are meaningful to me and my husband, but you could really do any amount with this idea!  You could even do just one big one for your wedding or something!

First step- I found the places I wanted on google maps and printed out the maps on nice paper.

Step two- I took a heart stencil and traced it around my places so all the hearts would be the same size.  Cut them carefully and erased any pencil marks!

Step three- Glue the hearts onto nice paper and then add the captions!  I printed the words on on nice paper but they aren't perfectly even!  I used craft studs to keep them in place on the background paper.

And there you have it!

I think this is an easy and cute gift for anyone you want to shower with love or even to give a couple for a wedding gift with spots that are meaningful to them!  There are really so many uses for maps!

I hope you enjoyed my easy DIY!
