just chillin'

My (attempted) sketches of Kristoff from Frozen. Still can't get him quite right, but that's what practice is for, right?

Alright guys, I'm still here. Just, I haven't really had a life for three weeks because I've been sick with Bronchitis. Or whatever it is that I have.

Anyways, after about a week of being stuck at home I figured I should do something with my time.
And since I saw Frozen in November I've been incredibly stuck in this I-love-Disney mood. 
Seriously, I've been listening, drawing, pinning, watching and just obsessing over everything that is related to Disney. 
So with all the time on my hands I've been at my piano, arranging. That's right, you heard it correctly, I've been arranging a medley of Disney songs because I absolutely love, love, love the music Disney creates. 


And it's very fortunate that I have half of the music I'm putting in the medley, already. This is me hoping that I actually finish it. I might need some singers in the future, folks. Keep an eye out if you're interested. ;)

Other than that, I've just been here trying to fill time with stuff that doesn't exhaust me. Writing, sketching, making music and watching my shows. 

I hope ya'll don't get ever get sick with Bronchitis. It's not fun. 

Stay classy, folks.

a party

^ and the first fun one in a long time. 
But really, it's just cause I don't go to many parties. So, of course it was fun. :P 

It was a surprise for two people, who thought they were "distracting" each other from getting to the party too early. It was great.
A friend, Clarissa is going to Texas... (or.. wait.. no Chile. ;) on her mission and a close friend, Trevor became a marine and it was just fun all over. All hosted by a dear friend, Meghan who was the mastermind behind it all. 




Also got to see my bff who lives two hours and the length of a really really tall giraffe's neck away from me and it was a fantastic reunion. 



It was a much needed night where I got to catch up with a lot of old friends that I haven't seen in months and it was refreshing. We told stories, had discussions and laughed really loud. Overall, it was a great night. 
Oh, besides the fact I have Bronchitis. No worries, I'm not contagious ;) 

Stay Classy

green



If you're like me (you know the creative kind but you hardly ever do anything with it) you get in these moods where you just want to make and make and make everything you see in your mind. Or on pinterest if you really are like me. Well, I'm not in one of those moods currently... but I was a few months ago when I made this package for one of favorite missionaries. Thought I would share it with all of you for inspiration for your brave men and woman out there in the field.
(If you're wondering all the green it's because us Mormons actually use slang sometimes. All of our newest missionaries out in the field are called "Greenies" and so everything in the package is green.) 

Heres what you'll need: 


Also a box. Yes, you'll need a box. 


Life Savers 
Oatmeal 
Granola Bars
Breakfast on the Go
Sticky Notes 
Mike and Ike's 
Hand Sanitizer  
Note Pads
Jello
Gum
M&M's
Twizzlers 

This is just what I put in, but you can pick anything you want as long as it's green. 


Here's to cheesy poems. And my horrible handwriting.

I wish all of your missionaries the best. 

Cheers!

good vibes only

For the first monday of the year, it wasn't so bad. I'm off on a kick with my resolutions. But uh.. who knows how many more days I have to get what I want.

Today though, I'm here to tell you that, "happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." -Albus Dumbledore. 

Actually, I'm not going to elaborate on that quote. Even though it is a wonderful quote. I'm going to focus on the person who quoted it. Albus Dumbledore! 
Why? 
Why because I had a Harry Potter marathon and I thought it was appropriate! 


Started at 5 a.m. Crazy right? I actually struggled to stay awake and I didn't finish, but I got to the sixth movie before I had to check reality again. 




And if ya'll want to find out what my new years was like click this lovely link: holding onto a hero And you'll get an idea of what I did. 

Cheers!
