Lazy Mornings

Sometimes getting out of bed is hard. Especially when you don't really have anywhere you need to be. And sometimes, staying in bed on your computer is more productive than getting up and wandering around. I had a productive morning in the comfort of my warm bed (it was a bit chilly out this morning), I had som chai and cereal, and enjoyed myself.

I am trying to get better at snapping photos of what I am working on and wearing, etc. and I am doing better! Someday I will be a pro, huh? 

I can't show what I was working on quite yet, but soon. :)

Goals for this next year

Since I have a lot of free time lately, I have found myself thinking of goals for myself and what I want to do in this next year. It's my last year before I get married and move away from my family and start a new adventure and I want to make sure it's a memorable one!

There are projects I want to do for my future house, girl nights I want to have, and things I want to accomplish before I retire my maiden name. So I'm going to make a list and do my best to check each one off as completed.

If you have any ideas you think would make a great addition to my list, please let me know! I'm scribbling down my ideas and I intend to add more as the year goes on.

New Layout!

With all this spare time I have lately, I've been doing a lot of re-organizing, cleaning, and what not. One of those projects being this blog. I never really liked the layout of my blog and I think that's one of the reasons I haven't been posting much. But now that I have given it a new design, it has inspired me and got me excited to post more things!

I also have been thinking a lot of what this blog means to me, and before, I wanted it to primarily be a crafting blog, with a little bit of lifestyle fluff thrown in here and there. It's hard to think of crafting ideas all the time, especially original ones, so I always felt guilty when several posts would go by without a craft. But now, I'm making it about my everyday life, and if that day includes a craft, a fun date, etc. it will be in my post!

Today I have a brother/sister portrait session and I'm excited!

I have no idea what this face is.

My outfit & gear

And of course, I have to wear sunscreen...

Drop Earrings & Job Searching

So, this post was supposed to be a DIY, but some of the pictures I took disappeared and so now there are missing steps that I don't have to show you. Instead, I'll just show you a few of the pictures that didn't disappear. Will that work for ya?

In other news, I haven't been able to find a job yet, but I'm still searching and hoping! I thought I'd at least find something by now, so it's frustrating, but I know something will show up soon that is perfect for me and my needs right now.

And wedding planning is going slow, but we're getting there! So excited! :)

Rain & Finals

It's actually been quite a dry April here in Pennsylvania this year. Today's rain is the first in a while. I don't mind it so much because I can hole up in my room under my blankets and get some of my very last college projects done. 

Everything will be over by Wednesday, and then I can celebrate until Friday's graduation. I hope so very much that it doesn't rain. Graduation on the front lawn of the college is always so beautiful when it's sunny. Its sets a great vibe for sending graduates off into the world and into the work force.

I had time in between my work to snap a few photos of today.

Love, love

Engagement Happenings

Guess what! I'm engaged!

And I'm graduating!

And I'm so excited!

This senior year has been amazing. This year, I have worked 2 nanny jobs, was the RA of my college dorm, and started my freelance photography business, Freckled Perspective. I was the first female technical director at the Southern New England Ministries Network 2012 youth convention and PennDel 2013 Youth Convention. I also was one of the technical directors for daily chapel at Valley Forge Christian College, and a committee member of the first annual Captiv8 Film Festival. Oh and I also was homecoming queen!

Today, in my very last chapel of my college career, I received my gold honors tassels and found out I was elected in the Who's Who Among Students of American Universities and Colleges.

And in 1 week I will be walking across a stage to get my diploma. I'm so excited, exhausted, proud, and a million other emotions right now. I'm so happy with my college experience and God has blessed me with some amazing friends to share that experience with and hopefully continue to share memories with.

Be back soon! (just let me finish my final projects!)

Love, love

Freckled Perspective

Oh hey guys! Want to know the reason I haven't posted much lately? It's because all of my crafts that I have done recently have not turned out well. I know. I'm super disappointed. But I really have tried like twenty different crafts. Maybe I have just been using the wrong materials. 

Another reason I've been slightly absent, is because I've been working on my photography and design freelancing business. I'm working on my website now, but I have my Facebook page up and running, so check it out! I'm really excited about it, and I hope you guys like it. =]

Introducing, Freckled Perspective

Featured on my page is my newest photo session, Kelly + Caleb Engaged. Here are a few.
