DIY: Globe Garland

I love this idea.  I totally want to do it.  All you need are some old maps, or printed maps and some string...  It's easy peasey and so cute! I might do it and hang it above our bed. :)

Wordless Wednesday: Cheesing & Cars

This was a few nights ago... Bailey was being freaking cute.  Kept saying "CHEESE!" and making this face while I was taking pictures of the cars she had lined up.  I love it.  She is getting so cute ... cuter every day!

My Theory

Today in Philosophy & Ethics class, a guy asked why people are so easily offended these days.

I have a theory.

It's not that people are more offended these days than they used to be.  It was never cool to offend people.  People have always been fairly polite about other's feelings.  My theory is that in the last decade or so people have been getting more and more arrogant about their feelings and more and more vocal about their beliefs.  People never like to be told they are wrong and so because people have been more vocal about their different beliefs it appears to be that people are more offended, but in actuality people are just as offended, but people are more vocal.

That's it.

I love this and I really want to do this soon for Valentine's Day.

It's simple and pretty. :)

Money < Music

JOY R MAC: Mix #1 from joyslaughters on 8tracks.

Woke up this morning.  Was in class and I was listening to some of these tunes and I realized we were getting paid.  While trying to figure out how to pay all the bills with the money we got... yeah.  Anyway, Money sucks and Music is great.  So this is the music that helped lift my spirits while I worried about money.

Lately

Been in school, working hard... But I have some good classes. One in creating a tabloid size magazine in. One I'm creating a brand for a new project and one I'm creating my own brand. I've kind of already figured out my own brand but it does need some more work.

I also have been wondering why I haven't been posting my design things on here. Anyway I probably will start that.

DIY Project: Record Crates

[via Design*Sponge]
I’ve been needing some more room for my growing record collection and all the while have been looking for the right sized vintage box. I was hoping for something somewhat military surplus, but never found the right size or condition. If I found something, it was always a one-off and typically poor shape. Here’s the plan to make some for yourself, and they’re easily replicable when your collection floweth-over — Matt

This is so great!  We've been wanting to do something like this for a while.
Now we have inspiration! yay!
