DIY: A Creative Way to Display Vacation Memories

    I don't know about you, but every time I go on vacation, I always get brochures from everywhere I go. I also buy souvenirs and keep all my tickets. When I get home, the items just get piled up on my shelves. So yesterday I decided I was finally going to find a way to display all my vacation memories. This is what I came up with...

    As you can see, my bulletin board is now quite full. But I think it actually looks pretty good, compared to a pile of paper on my shelf. I also have vacation photos displayed on the shelf, along with a journal from a trip to Wyoming when I was 7. There are also some stuffed animals, a wooden flute from Mexico, a Coke bottle from the World of Coca Cola, and glass artwork from Alaska. 

    Now onto the bulletin board. The majority of the board is covered in brochures, but I also have tickets, 3-D movie glasses, and an informational booklet from the World of Coca Cola. You may notice that there are also movie tickets on here. Well, that's because I had a few blank spots that I needed to fill, and they were the perfect size. I even have a putt-putt golf scorecard from a few years ago on the bulletin board.

    I think bulletin boards are great for displaying anything: vacation brochures, tickets, photos, and whatever else you can think of! What do you like to display on your bulletin board? Comment below. :)

    

Foto Friday #2

    It's Friday, and that means another picture post! :) These are just some pictures from this week.

The nails I designed yesterday :) I call them dessert nails, lol.

A bracelet I made earlier today :)

The disaster on my desk after I've finished a set of nails, haha.

A double rainbow during the rain :)

Took this picture right after it rained :)

My nails- I'm loving this sparkle polish! It goes with everything.

Jewelry for the 4th

  
    Since I've started my blog, I've seen so many blogs about bracelets and anklets. I always think the jewelry is super cool, but I don't have a clue how to make it! So yesterday I decided I was going to make some 4th of July  bracelets out of string. I went to Joann's and bought a how-to book for $6. Luckily, the book came with red, white, and blue string.

    The first few designs I tried out did NOT go well. But these two did! So I went ahead and made a matching anklet. :)

    I think this is a super fun, easy craft to do. Even though some of the designs do take quite a long time (one of them took me 2 hours at the pool yesterday! But it wasn't for the 4th). If you're interested in learning to make these bracelets, often called friendship bracelets, the book I got was: Friendship Bracelets by Laura Torres. It was originally $12.50, but I had a coupon. So if you're looking for a fun way to make cute bracelets, check out this book. :)

    I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July & thanks for reading! :)
