Pin-Win

I just love how these turned out! I've be collecting gumball machines for some time now, but they were just sitting in my closest. I decided I wanted to make a little Christmas cash so I made theses. I used stuffing for snow and some dollar tree trees. I added some ribbon around the pole in the center to spruce it up a bit, and used little velvet mice. Oh and on the largest one I hung buttons as snowflakes.

I ended up making and selling all five to local antique stores! Here's a close up on one. I personally like the small silver one and the largest one.

Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving, I can't wait until Christmas.

Schools going pretty well so far, its almost the end of the first quarter! Woohoo! Also I'm now at(and a little bit below) my goal weight of 125(I fluctuate from 120-125)!!!! I'm also in the fall play at my school, it called the Imaginary Invalid, I only have a small part but whatever, its fun and I love to act. The musicals going to be Wizard of Oz and I look forward to auditioning for it, gotta keep my fingers crossed.

50 lbs!

Summer is now officially over and I'm back to school. I now have to get back in the schedule of waking up early and going to bed early. This stinks because I'm what you'd call a night owl. On a brighter note I've now lost 50 pounds!!! I know I can't believe it! I'm so happy and am feeling so good!

Here's a picture of my back to school outfit.

And from another view

Have fun at school everyone.

Vacation!

So the last three weeks I've been on vacation! Me and my family drove down to Florida and made several other stops along the way. We went to Dollywood and had a blast!

This is me on the zip-line, and let me tell you it was scary yet fun. My mom and younger brother did it as well. I'm terrified of heights so the first step off the platform was particularly hard, but I'm sooooo glad I did it.

Then we went to Florida and I got to hang out with my aunt and cousin. We had a lot of fun and my cousin even dyed the ends of my hair Purple! I love it!!!

And of course we did a lot of swimming and duck feeding and even some lizard catching. I had a lot of fun, but I'm glad to be home. Although one downside of being home is I know school will start soon.

Weight loss

Hello again everyone.
A while ago (well not that long, like April) I decided I needed to loose some weight. As of today I've lost about 36 pounds! I've also dropped a few seizes. I've been exercising daily and I cut out all sweets and most carbs (like breads and pasta). I love how I'm looking in clothes now, especially vintage ones! The hardest thing is having the will power to not go and eat junk. Well I just thought I'd tell you guys, Have and awesome day!

So last night I was feeling crafty so I drew a picture.

I know its not that great, but I like it. Its a Dalek girl and the TARDIS in front of Starry Night. It looks a lot better in person, but whatever. :)

Summers SO close!!!! I can almost taste it! I really don't know what I plan to do this summer, I'll just be glad it's not homework!

Doctor Who

Hi again!  Has anyone been watching the new Doctor Who's? I sure have and I LOVE them. Don't worry I wont give any spoilers away, but my favorite for this season so far is "Journey to the Center of the TARDIS". "Hide" was also quite good though.
