Creatively Spooky!!

Happy Halloween!!!  Here's a little goodie I did to support my tigers on their quest for the "Best in West" this Saturday :)

 So of course this past week was all Halloween-ed out.  I threw a pumpkin carving party (where the LSU pumpkin wasn't featured), but my witch hat melting was! Along with some other friends' designs.  Also at this party is where I put into effect some ideas from Pinterest! I busted out the Frankenstein cupcakes, spiderwebs, & witch hats (just click on the title to go to the creator's blog).  Along with some cookies I decorated when I got bored one night & decided to make random sugar cookies...

FRANKENSTEIN CUPCAKES

EDIBLE SPIDERWEBS

WITCH HATS

SUGAR COOKIES

Everything was super easy to make & delicious.  The sugar cookies are just a recipe I found on the internet, using ingredients I already had at home & the icing is just confectioner's sugar & milk along with some orange food coloring.  I really liked the spider webs but they are a bit difficult to eat...the white "web" easily breaks apart once you start eating.

I'm also a HUGE Halloween decorator!! I will spare everyone all of my decorations...which include lots of Scooby Doo in costume (a vampire, in a pumpkin, & as a skeleton), a Frankenstein hand, lots of spider webs, a huge spider, witch & pumpkin lights...and many more.  But thanks to Pinterest, I found more decorations!  These are just the simple mason jars with tissue paper lanterns that I've seen many different people pin.  Don't judge me on the quality of these pictures, they are from my lovely & outdated 3G iPhone.  It just involves cutting strips of tissue paper & modge podging them onto the mason jars, overlapping them to get the nice striped effect.  Then cut out their faces & rims of jars from construction paper...add a candle & voila!  Super cute :)

And lastly here are my 3 costumes for the year!! Nothing fancy since I never had time to come up with something clever due to all the thought it took to get my thesis done.  There was Halloween Kickball, the Block Party at Carlotta, and the first ever Halloween Parade in Baton Rouge!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Unrequitted Love

No paragraphs today, just some sappy love quotes that make me think.

"Whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am whole again."

However far away I will always love you

However long I stay I will always love you

Whatever words I say I will always love you

I will always love you

"If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together, there is something you must always remember...even if we're apart, I'll always be with  you"

I don’t want to text you.

I don’t want to call you.

I want to be in your arms,

hold your hand,

feel you breath,

hear your heart,

I want to be with you.

I'm my best "me" when I'm with you.

You have my whole heart for my whole life.

No one else will ever know the strength of my love for you. After all, you're the only one who knows what my heart sounds like from the inside.

It is a risk to love.

What if it doesn't work??

Ah...but what if it does??

Love isn't the person you can see yourself with, it's the person you can't see yourself without

 

 

 

Thesis Time!!

Yea blogging...this I'm not so sure about.  Mainly I like to see other crafts people are doing & this is a good place to document all the steps you take.  Lauren Hammond (wow that is crazy for me to say) is really the only reason I even know these things exist, since she makes amazingly cute things & now I must document...oh & also Pinterest has also caught my eye...more documenting!

But for now I don't have too much time for crafty things...it's all about the thesis.  And THANK YOU LORD I'm about to be done with mine! That's right: done...finito...the end....sayonora...no more...adios!  Defense date is October 7 at 10am.  Then I have to do some edits & turn it in...which means no more grad school, woohoo master's degree!  ...now if only I could get a JOB with this degree...

Ok, so crafty things to come soon, but now I leave you with this:

"Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination."
