DIY Music Journal

I am in love with DIY blogs and projects. I was raised doing crafts all summer and winter long. Now as an adult you gotta make time.

 This is a big reason i signed up for RED VELVET ART Craft Class. ITS SO MUCH FUN. It makes me set aside time for crafting.  Still havent got the crochet granny square clutch yet bc i cant learn off a video:(

Anyway, My friend Elise shares a Halloween birthday with my hub and we just went to her party and i made her this...(learned a new way how to bind this journal in the craft class)

the front cover: i used a vintage rock magazine, vintage childrens book,  envelope, cardboard, brown paper bag, & pink duct tape

Inside: brown paper bag heart cut outs, my gmas pop quiz from over 20 years ago(shes a voice and piano teacher), random dividers, index cards,

lil pocket for her guitar pics.

big envelope for her secrets, love notes, inspiration & polaroids.

Front and back cover

       i threw in random paper and used a bunch of different paper cutters

  throughout the journal there are lists to fill out about music.

         Favorite albums, favorite bands, songs, albums shes worked on, albums shes purchased, albums she wants, hates, and so on.... hope you like this idea. Jacob and I are already starting on our DIY Christmas...I think Kelly has to.

Jesus, plaid, and brown paper bags

I can not wait for tomorrow! We are throwing a party for my love muffin(its his bday on halloween) at my cousin Taylor's house. And guess what? i still don't have our costumes! eek. We spent the night at Tay's last night so that we could decorate the house and get things ready and we ended up staying up til 4 am having the best time!
This morning came fast....boo. I had the longest day at the salon but i enjoyed it bc i have the coolest clients! im relaxed and all clean now bc my hubby had a boiling hot bath with candles all over waiting for me to soak in, while he made me dinner. He even made me a lil relaxing playlist. THE BEST EVER!
 Now its time to put together our costumes! We keep changing our minds so wish me luck:)

Picture 1.  i love the art cars especially this Jesus one! Rannie's saying a lil prayer for you!

Picture 2.  Suzie Q came by to hang with us while we were decorating and she had the EXACT shirt my cousin Taylor had. crazy bc they are thrift finds:)

Picture 3. Ginny and Ash helped me cut faces out of these brown paper bags.

BRANDIPALOOZA

 My husband and my amazing friends planned a surprise party for me. This was one of the best days of my life! I had no idea, I thought I was going to a photoshoot and I was upset that Jacob was making me late. HA! All the things that made it special: friends, family, good tunes, jaws on the big screen, blankets draped all in the trees and grass, amazing food by Dominica Catelli, dancing, photos, custom posters, butterflies, fire pit and pinata!....Liz Jordan posted these on her flickr last night, again her and Donald Kilgore take the best photos! Thanks everyone for being such huge blessings in my life!
