Craft Beast: Photo Canvas

My crafting goes in short-lived passionate spurts, much like Taylor Swift's relationships. It's only because I have the attention span of a particularly unmotivated goldfish. Anything that I have ventured to craft has come from tutorials I've taken off of Pinterest. And generally, they turn out pretty decently. I've been happy with most of my little projects. Recently, it's actually started to irritate me that our house kindof looks like we are either just moving in or moving out given that we have pretty much nothing on our walls.

Baltimore Aquarium

One of the benefits to currently being without an heir to the throne of Forcum is that impromptu trips are very easy to do. We don't need to pack anyone or anything up other than ourselves.

We are Super Candid.

Do you know what one of the major benefits is to having super close friends? They indulge your vanity by "cropping for friendship" and retaking a million pictures at exactly the right angles. And they don't judge you for it, they just expect you to return the favor. Megan and Jessica are those people for me. If you don't know who these women are, you're basically being the Yoko Ono to your own life.
