DIY Craft Time, Part II

The Gang went to a Halloween party, wherein we took advantage of a very cool photo booth. I realized that I haven’t had printed pictures in quite a while, and these came out so cool, that I wanted to frame them. I did some research online, which made me realize they don’t sell what I want, but gave me an idea on how to do it on my own.
So. Craft time!



One of my big flaws is that I lack a desire for perfection. So the edges could have been cut a little cleaner, and the fabric could have been pulled a little tighter…and I probably should have made it out of a sturdier material…(all of this is probably making Busta want to pull her hair out…I’M SORRY!). But, it made me realize that I can be crafty and creative if I want to be. And, occasionally, I can make some pretty cool looking stuff.

Long live Halloween, 2011.

Not MY details…but Expat Mom’s details. She has two great blog posts about Easter in Guatemala with pictures and a great explanation about the order of the procession.

The first post shows how the carpets have been altered in lieu of the crappy economy, as well as pictures of the spectators and vendors.
The second post gives a detail of the order of the procession, which is something I was trying to remember when I wrote my blog entry.

I decided last week that I was not going to hold myself accountable on Sundays…everyone needs a day off, right? I figure I should still be productive on Saturday’s…and this past Saturday I didn’t blog for multiple reasons, one being that there just wasn’t much to say. Anyhow, today’s list of “did’s” and “did not’s” will encompass the whole weekend and today…
What I did:
  • Went to the gym on Sunday
  • Spent time with grandma on Saturday before she left for the airport
  • Worked on various HS and HBA issues
  • Applied to about three jobs over the course of the weekend
  • Went in to the office today
  • Signed, copied, stapled, and whole punched my asylum application and motion. Ready to file tomorrow in court….wish me luck!
  • Looked for jobs today (no leads)
  • Brainstormed with Reuben yesterday about a potential fundraising idea…stay tuned for details
  • I made dinner tonight!
  • Superbowl party with The Gang
  • I’m starting to feel like I’m just listing random things I did…rather than productive ones…I may have to reassess what I’m doing :)
  • Not sure when I did this, but I updated scholarship applicant bios
What I didn’t do:
  • I didn’t work on my U-visa petition, so I’m going to have to call my client tomorrow and push back our appointment (I can’t get a specific form off the website, which is really annoying)
  • Small claims
  • I didn’t walk Lilo today since I had to go into the office earlier than expected. I need to figure out my schedule so I can make everything work the way it should
  • So many things…I don’t even know where to start. Maybe I’ll have a better grasp of my to-do list tomorrow…
In the meantime, I leave you all with a couple pictures from our First Annual Non-Super-Bowl-Super-Bowl-BBQ:
