I'm Not So Crafty.

I told you all last week that I was going to attempt to make a wreath for my house. I saw an awesome post on Pinterest where a girl had done one for her favorite football team! I decided that it didn't look like it would be very hard to do... so I made up my mind that I was going to try one! 

Keep in mind... I'm not crafty at all! So I enlisted the help of my wonderful Mother! We went on a for some tulle, letters, paint, and wreath! This is what we found!

I ended up getting 5 yards of each color of tulle. I also got a bag of plain letters... I tried to get the ones that were already done at Michaels, but of course they were missing one of the letters I needed. So I purchased some white spray paint, as well as glitter to go over top of the white. 

It was quite simple, but I like things to look perfect and unfortunately they weren't! However, I think the wreath turned out quite decent! I may add a couple of small things, but for now... here is my wreath!!!

As you can see, I probably used too much fabric in the beginning. I should have measured each strip and yadda yadda yadda, but I didn't. I had absolutely NO method to my madness! After it was all done we took the scissors to it, so we could trim it up! Here is the final product so far! Don't laugh! And thank to my mom for helping me out!

ADTR

Welcome back to another dreary morning! BUT, I think the sun is suppose to come out today. Even though today is Monday, I'm in a great mood. Today is the day that I finally get to go the incredible Jeremy McKinnon and the rest of the guys in A Day To Remember.

I absolutely love ADTR. Though they've played around here before, this is my first time seeing them and I couldn't be any more excited than I am. I was going to get VIP tickets but I was too late and they were sold out. :( Sad Face. Thanks to awesomely fabulous friend Matt for going with me!

This weekend went pretty well! How could it not.... hockey was back in town. Friday night the Admirals came out blazing in the first period and scored 5 goals. That meant in the first period we got free wings! However, after that first period.. I was pretty disappointed. Saturday was pretty lame as well. I'm hoping the Admirals get their act together before this weekend. I wanna see some better hockey.

I did work on my wreath, but it's not finished yet. I will definitely post a picture once I am done. I have realized thought, that even the simplest DIY project... is not for me. I have no crafty skills what so ever... Like at all! Thank god I have an amazing Mother who knows a thing or two about crafting. Now only if she could find the hot glue gun so I can finish with the final touches!

I hope you all have a fantastic week! I figured I would leave you today with an awesome picture of a male cheerleader! Can anyone guess who it is!?!

When Life Throws You a Rainy Day, Play in the Puddles!

"It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring."

I know that things have been dry lately, with little rain... but dang is it making up for it now! Rain for pretty much a week straight... That's no fun. All this rain makes me want to do is put some pjs on, curl up in bed with the pup, and watch movies all day. Unfortunately life doesn't stop for a little bit lot of rain, so on with life we go.

To cheer up my mood, I've been thinking about all the exciting things going on this weekend. Most importantly, HOCKEY COMES BACK TO NORFOLK! That's right, the Norfolk Admirals are in town for their home opener Friday night! If you don't have any plans, you should definitely go... you can buy tickets HERE! They are suppose to be having a party on the plaza before the game, but I'm not sure how it's going to work with the game. I'm also hoping kickball is cancelled so that my friends can make the game on time. I streamed the game from Saturday night online and the team was looking pretty good, let's hope they keep it up and get a win for the home crowd.

Saturday is clean up/grocery/craft day. My bright self evidently left the freezer door open all day yesterday... so now everything I had in there, is ruined. I guess that gives me a good reason to give the freezer a good scrub down right!?! I always plan to get up early on the weekends and do some cleaning...but it never happens. This Saturday is no different, I plan to get up early and get stuff done. Crossing my fingers that I don't just decide to be lazy since it will be rainy! Saturday afternoon is going to be spent doing crafts! Now don't get your hopes up for pictures of these awesome crafts I do... I'm not crafty at all. I want to make my house look a little more "homey" so I found a link on how to make an easy wreath. I decided that since it's hockey season, I'll try to make a Flyer's wreath. I'll be sure to post a picture so you can either laugh at my embarrassment of a "wreath", or be blown away by my awesome crafting abilities that I got out of thin air. I'm pretty much guessing it will be the first option! Hey, at least I'm going to try! Saturday evening will be spent at the Scope Arena to see home game #2 for the Norfolk Admirals. :) 

Sunday seems like the perfect day to throw something yummy in the crock pot and watch football all day! I'm trying to cut back on spending, so instead of going out and watching the game like a cool person... I'll be staying home making yummy food, and maybe even baking! I also will have to make sure I'm finished up with The Walking Dead Season 3 since Season 4 premieres Sunday night!!! I  want to start on the show "Orange is the New Black". I've heard a lot of good things about it.

What are some awesome shows that you would recommend me watching? What are you favorite things to do when it's rainy outside?
