Busy day!

  

 

 

    AHHH! I’ve been SO busy today! Tomorrow we’re going to Michigan’s Adventure! So I’ve been in full prep mode for that! It’s a whole outing and there will be FIFTEEN people in our clan! Yeah, that’s a whole trip with a whole lot of people! 

 

    Tomorrow morning I’m picking up protein shakes for everyone who is riding in my car! Soooo, that means I have to be up a little earlier. I don’t do mornings! I will lay in bed until noon if I had a choice! (I wish I were kidding!)

 

 

    Anyway, today! I STARTED my dresser project! It’s been a WHOLE process! 

 

  • Removing the hardware *the easy part*
  • Cleaning it thoroughly was tedious and annoying. Because it had a decade of weird shit on it. (Don’t ask!)
  • Sanding it (BIIIIIIITCCHHHHHH!) 
  • Cleaning it AGAIN...
  • Priming layer. 

  • Dry time... like freakin' watching grass grow. 

  • Second coat

 

    Now currently drying! Here's to NOT having to watch this coat dry! 

 

    I just showered! YAY for being clean! 

 

    Now it’s off to pack my bag for tomorrow and get some shuteye! 6am is going to come quick! 

 

    I hope you all have a great weekend! I will be updating THIS post with before and after with two coats! And then later with the finished product! 

 



XOXO

         I will not apologize for my love of emojis and little illustrated versions of myself. I am obsessed! But every time I look at them I think to myself, there are NO versions of this that have tattoos and I ’m covered in them. (okay, not covered yet! But 14 with plans for more!)        So I illustrated my own with my very own tattoos (the ones you can visually see!) It took a lot of patience getting them just right but I am obsessed with how she came out! I finally am comfortable enough with my art to say that I am obsessed with some of the things I’m creating!        It feels so damn good to day that! I can feel my confidence growing each day! I am teaching myself pretty much everything. Every technique, every brush stroke, it’s a learning curve and I am loving the journey!         I have always been into art but I was never confident enough to share my stuff or try new things. I stuck with ...

What would you tell your former self if you had the chance?

So yesterday was all about confessions and today I am going to talk about what I wish I knew back then that I know now.   I have always thought the world was out to get me. If not the world, the people in my world. I haven ’t always had the easiest time and I have had some hard shit happen in my life; but who hasn’t?    Here’s a list of some of the things I've dealt with: 1.  Being an overweight child 2.  Having undiagnosed anxiety 3.  Being bullied 4.  Having literally no self confidence  5.  Being completely introverted   And h ere are the things I wish I could have said to myself back then :   Bullies:    It’s hard to even describe what it’s like to be bullied. Unless you’ve been there you just don’t know. My parents always made sure I had nice, name brand clothes and that I had anything I ever needed. But it didn’t matter, people couldn’t get over my size long enough to see that I had a good personality. And eventually...
