21st Birthday Pics

I had a lovely 21st birthday last week! 

This is the birthday cake that I made for Jenni and I. It took me about an hour and a half to mix all the colors and bake the whole thing. I made it look super boring on the outside so that she would have no idea what was waiting for her once she cut out a piece! 

And THIS Ladies and Gentlemen, is the birthday present that Mike has been secretly working on for 2 months! He sewed me a pouch for all my crochet hooks and bought me a set of bamboo hooks too! Not only that...but he's painting each one for me so they'll all a little special in their own way. I was ecstatic when he handed this to me. He's never made me anything before and this is about the sweetest thing he's ever done for me. 

I love you Mike!

Here are the Birthday Girls!

(she turned 20 and I turned 21)

We're one year and a day apart.

This is a cute little chick plushie that Mike also got for me. 

We named him Freddy, and I crocheted him a little scarf because it's cold outside.

We also had a Christmas concert on Friday that Mike and I went to...here are a couple of pictures of that.

I hope your weekend was a good one. I've got 4 days of finals ahead of me (just took the first one this morning) and it's officially 12 days before Christmas!

Bye Bye!

English Class Today...

So we had a quiz today over a boat load of reading about plagerism and citations and all that good stuff. I got a 13 out of 15 so I guess that's not so bad right? I was up at 5:30 this morning studying for it.

Anyway, V-day is fasts approaching so I wanted to post some pictures of cards that I've made for the occasion. I'm trying to sell them, and I've been somewhat successful. I think I'll end up given away the leftovers to friends. :)

The Owl one is my personal favorite. I gave it to my boyfriend because we needed valentine cards for a society game.

"FLOCK TOGETHER" Another one of my favorites.

Funnies!

Just come quotes and things that bring a smile or smirk to my face.
