I quit!

So on 1/29/12 I smoked my last smoke. It is a daily battle I am currently winning. I am very proud of myself, but an emotional wreck, the withdraw symptoms suck. I am extremely emotional and cannot even hold back the urge to cry. If/when you come across someone who is currently quitting smoking, it is an addiction that you withdraw from, it's not at easy as you would think to just quit. It puts alot of stress on your emotionally just as you were to detox from a major drug, it may not be as sever, but it is still hard.

So here is to fighting the fight within myself

Artsy... yes I do think so

So I love making new things and using up supplies that would otherwise be thrown away or sit in a box for forever so my mom showed me how to make these origami flowers!!!

You can use any square piece of paper to make this.

You will need 5 pieces of square paper

If you use an odd shape piece of paper just fold it in half to make a square and cut off excess paper

Then fold up the edges to the center and fold outward

It should now look like this ^^

Pull out the fold and flatten so it looks like this ^

Flip over and fold over the tops that hang over

fold the outer edges in on more time

then bring the outer most edges together and it should look like this ^

Crafty...

So my inner inseperation has been dying to come out. I have been thinking about

Decoupage
a lot and have used Google images to get some inspiration as to what I want to do first! Only problem is I don't have the materials for the things I want to make. So this is my projects over the next few months (hopefully). This is what I have been thinking about all week! Below are some pictures and links that I found using Google. I in no means take credit for any of the below project pictures.

For those of you who are so caught up in the drama of life, remember that there was one point where you enjoyed what you had in front of you. Try to hold onto the happiness, let go of the misfortune, and do not believe every word you hear about the world around you.

Rule # 1 Enjoy the Little Things
