What to do!?!?

Ok... So I started nail school to find something I like doing.  However, in the process I have found something besides nails that I am pretty good at and I actually enjoy! Yep! You guessed it! Business Cards!  

I dont know everything about it obviously but I don't think I am too bad at it! It all started when we and the girls at school had to have business cards for our "Senior Projects" for nail school graduation haha (yeah they call us the "seniors" although we have only been there for a total of 2 months haha). anyways, it all REALLY started when I took the business cards that I made for my project to school. and here they are!

Here is the front! (Now keep in mind I won't really be using these. I just wanted business cards that matched my whole project which was apple themed!)

and here is the back! arent they super cute!?

anyways... so I showed all the girls in my class and they all loved them! Then my friend Melissa asked if I would help her with her senior project because I have so much scrapbooking stuff (thanks to my mom).

She wanted her business card to mach her project too so this is what I came up with!

Here is the front!

 and here is the back!

 

 and then after all the girls saw Melissa's EVERYONE wanted one haha! It is actually pretty enjoyable for me to make them! I like doing things like that! So, Here are the rest of the ones that I have made.

Here are Maggies!

And Maya's:

 

 

 And Corina's:

 

And Christina's:

(I think hers are one of my favorites!)

 

And then I was having so much fun that I made these ones too! 

They weren't made for anyone in mind but I think they are kinda cute! I like the silhouette!

 

 So there it is!! I was thinking if I ever made a business card for myself I would have NO clue what to put on it!! I like doing so many things that I couldnt have a card for everything!  I want to get back into Photography and maybe start taking wedding pictures and making money with that. I also now do nails.... and I make some pretty cute wedding veils... and I want to do it all but what would my company's name be!?!? I cant just pick one either... :( anyways... I will keep thinking about that haha and maybe one day I will figure it out!  In the mean time, If anyone knows anyone who needs business cards, a wedding veil, or their nails done you will know who to call! :) 

Anyways, Enjoy!

or not!

Your choice!

It's about dang time!

So I haven't posted in pretty much forever... but I don't think it matters because I doubt anyone even reads my blog so its all good!  This might be a long post so I guess its good that no one but me even reads this blog!

First off, Me and Ray got our first Christmas tree! :)

Here is the "finished" product... we just put lights and bulbs and candy caneson but oh well haha it is simple and we liked it! But we went out of town one weekend and it kinda died so like 2 weeks after we got it the needles were hard and it no longer smelled good... it just left needles everywhere. So maybe next year we will have a fake one..?

Next, It has been a whole year (plus some now that its march!) since we got engaged :)

And after being married for 9 months I took some pictures of our apartment but I only got the kitchen and dining room.. those were the only ones that were clean enough to document! more to come later maybe!

Then, I started nail school and Color My Nails School of Nail Technology at the beginning of February! It is pretty fun! I am still learning and trying to get the hang of it but it gets me out of the house and I have been making friends! its about dang time! I am sick of being friendless! but here are some of the nails I have done! I have done way more but they have mostly been on my mani hand! her name is Mandi the Mani and we play alot! :) 

Here is me and Nicole when she came to my school! her nails were pretty cute!

Here is me in the process.. we chatted a lot so it took me so long to get them done!

And... drum roll please..... Here is the finished product!

they were pretty cute if I do say so myself! they even have a cute heart on the ring fingers too but you cant really see it in this picture!

Here is a perfect set I did a couple Saturdays ago... I was amazed at myself... THE ROCKED!!

And here is a set of SERIOUSLY UGLY LONG sculptured nails I did. They look good technically but they are grossly long... this lady was kinda weird and wanted super long nails... and the color she picked was totally see through but hey some people like those kinds of things I guess!

anyways.... meet Mandy the Mani! She is my friend and we play every day and we are friends. These were the nails I did on her that looked way good. My instructors are amazed at my talent (sometimes haha)

AND now for the MOST EXCITING NEWS EVER!!!!!!!! 

We finally bought a new car! and we love it! It is a Mazda Speed3 and it is pretty!

its fast and very roomy! we love it!

anyways... so that is what has been going on... in a nut shell anyways! Ray is still teaching and trying to get it all together! He is a great teacher and figure out his teaching style and stuff (at least that is what he tells me!) We are happy and all is going so good! :)

So that is all! The End! 

Enjoy... or not! Your choice!

Spooktacular October!

Ok so this October hasn't been THAT spooktacular  but I really do love Halloween! We havent been up to much since I last posted besides school, school, and more school.  There is hopefully an end in sight for me but unfortunatly Ray will be in school until he retires ;) HAHA that is what he gets for being a teacher! Anywho... It was Ray's birthday on October 8th and we had his parents up for dinner. We went to some stake house for dinner then went back to our apartment to have "Better than sex" birthday cake haha It was so good! Anyways Happy 26th Birthday babe!! Love ya!

Cheesin it up!!

After he blew out the candles!

ok I look gross but it was the only picture that Ray didnt have a really weird look on his face haha

Also the past month or so I have been really bored and I have embarked on a couple craft sprees! Here are some of the pictures I took of the crafty-shmafty things I did!

Ok this isnt something I have done recently... I actually made it before Ray and I got married!

It is hanging in our room above our engagement pictures! I think it is so cute! :)

My mom actually gave me all the materials for this!  It was a craft they made at girls

camp when my mom was still the president and so she let me have one of the

left overs! it is pretty cute! :)

This was such a long and tedious project! It turned out way cute though!

I decided that our living room was going to be decorated in Americana

stuff and as a sort-of-wedding-gift my mom gave me two of these copper stars

and I covered them in red, white, and blue paper and added blue and red flowers!

They turned out better than I thought they would!

And lastly here are some pictures of my latest project I have been trying out.

I am not very good yet but I am totally learning to crochet haha

i know it's like a granny craft but my stuff has turned out pretty cute!

This was my first project that I did! I watched a youtube video to learn how to do it

but it looks pretty good!

This is the second one i did and it is a little bit bigger than the blue one so

it might actually fit a baby one day haha

These ones are for me! I made headbands with cute flowers so I could put my hair up out of my face!

I actually like wearing them and I get lots of complements on them!

I will hopefully make more so I can wear them with more outfits haha

Anyways that is what we have been up to if anyone was wondering!

as always,

 Enjoy..... or not! your choice!

Two Buck Tuesdays!

So Ray decided that he wanted to go attend "Two Buck Tuesdays" at Thanksgiving Point! It was a cool day so it was actually a great time to go seeing as how this is our last free Tuesday of the summer (scary!)

We were sitting in the waterfall/amphitheater area and I decided to take some pictures!

Here we are again haha (oh... p.s. I got a hair cut haha It is very short but I like it! :) )
I was trying to get Ray to have a normal face... he doesnt do normal in pictures I decided haha

Here is the waterfall place.. not too bad for a huge man made waterfall!


This was way cool! It's a carousel covered in shrubbery and vines! It was so cute!
I love carousels!!

Here is a close up of the horses!


This is supposed to be the butterfly garden and it is in the shape of a butterfly
but you cant really tell.... you would have to see it from the air...
These were by far the coolest flowers there!
I will give you a dollar if you can tell me what kind of flowers they are!!
ok probably not a dollar but I still wanna know what they are called!

As always... enjoy!! or not! your choice!!

We went camping ;)

So this past weekend we got to go camping up on "The Property" (It's called big horn ranch and it's where you can buy shares that allow you to have your own little camping spot! It's really fun!) it was also their annual BBQ for everyone who owns a share and their families. Here are a couple pictures of the weekend! :)

Here is me and Ray at the BBQ waiting for the raffle.

Ray shot in the shotgun competition! :) He's pretty good!

This is my cute new niece Eliana! She was playing
peek-a-boo through the trailer screen door haha
She yelled "peek-a-boo Marlee" all the way from their trailer
while I was up at our awesome tent!m It was so cute!

She was trying to drive the 4-wheeler haha I was messing up her concentration


TADA! This is the balloon butterfly that I stood in line for for
like an hour! The line sucked but it was worth it!
Isn't it cute!!??
Here is my sweet shirt that we bought... yeah I now own
a shirt with an elk on it... (at least I think it's an elk.. haha)
Camping was fun! :)

Today I made this cute card! It doesnt have anything to do with our camping trip but I had to share! it's super cute! and I wanted to show everyone :)

Isnt it cute!?
