Hammer Time

My nails remind me on MC Hammer.

Way too cold to go outside

This is what we did to an area of our house to make it look more magical.

Sam said that when he was little he would stare at the lights and think of what Christmas presents he hoped to get.  Russell would rather play video games than use his imagination.

So it goes.

This is one of Russell's school pictures.  They had three poses. 

Makes it super hard to buy anything less than the whole package.  Thanks mom.

Russell loves to dress like this and does most of the time.  He likes to feel "fancy."

This is how our dog, Bones, cuddles.

So I wanted to do strawberries but I didn't have red so I just used pink.  It's still drying right now.

Going to craft fairs inspires me to stop being so lazy.  I heard someone at the Rock and Roll Craft Show that was scoffing at other people crafts saying, "I could do that.  I should be in this show."  But she didn't because she's lazy and jealous and has a bad attitude.  This is me not being that person.   

We've been super into Mario everything lately (Thanks Buns!).  Russell even has Mario Kart Bed sheets and a Mario/Luigi present that he doesn't know about that I purchased at the craft show.

Happy Thanksgiving

This is what Russell told his teacher he's thankful for.

Russell helped me put up the x-mas tree.  It's one of those vintage aluminum ones. 

We also have a color wheel for it. 

Sam made EVERYTHING for our Thanksgiving dinner.  He's awesome.

And the Deathly Amounts of Dialogue

We recently put in new walls and ceiling.  Now we're afraid to put anything on the walls.

This is how my nails were this weekend.  They remind me of Gwen Stefani.

Russell fell asleep while we were watching Harry Potter. 

We got a couch!  I waiting 1 1/2 hours before showtime for a couch.  Victory is mine.



It's my first time

Ask my husband and he will probably tell you that I am spending too much time either looking at nail youtube videos or painting my nails.  There's one girl who has amazing videos.  I think she's asian and fron denmark.  Maybe half asian.

Here I am attempting a lollipop with a yellow ribbon. 

Here is a Burberry inspired design that is a couple days old and that's why it's chipped.

Chanel.  Ehh.

Hello Kitty.

My first cupcake.  6 colors.

Coach.  This one gave me lots of problems.

This was an attempt at a fading red orange and yellow with corresponding glitters.

First Attempt

So I bought some stuff from a Korean store and tried to make some things. 

I'm pretty happy with the houndstooth design.  I will probably do that more. 

The shapes were super duper hard and I couldn't figure it out yet.  It looks really easy online. 

Maybe my brush is too wet but otherwise I feel like the powder is too dry.

Here on my right hand (since I'm right handed),

I decided to do a gradiant sparkle polish with star shapes on the tip. 

I bought a bunch of those shapes but I only opened the star one. 

I have about 8 different shapes. 

Here and below I tried not to use flash because I like it better that way but I kept shaking really bad. 

This is what I wore yesterday at work.  Out of six days I wore this black shirt 3 times. 

 I am getting my money's worth!

I want to do Nails!

I really want to learn to be a Nail Tech so I can do nails for money.  I think that there is a market here where I live of anime kids with extra cash that would like for their nails to make them feel more Asian.  I need to find a nail supply store stat!
