I'm such a bad blogger and there's no denying it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry guys.. I really am! I wish I could have all the time in the world to write awesome posts... but my life could not get any busier right now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anywho... random things:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Who else has homework over the break? I have so much, it is literally ridiculous. I am TRYING to get it all done this week, crossing my fingers (:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Who's excited for Christmas?!?! Me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Trying to decide what vacation we are taking during the break. No, we don't plan ahead very well. (; </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Moving. Very VERY bittersweet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Gifts for my family and close friends were kind of hard to think of this year... Maybe because I've never been this busy around Christmastime and I didn't have tons of time to think like I usually do. BUT, I managed to get all the presents. Not completely satisfied with everything I got, but I guess it will have to do :-|</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. Instead of writing a ton of haha's, let just say I think this is SO FUNNY! My friend and I laughed so hard at this when we saw it. Photobomb level 435742. So great.</div>

So I was surfing blog world a <strike>couple months ago</strike> very long time ago and came across this: <a href="http://www.filthwizardry.com/2010/03/iron-on-decals-from-plastic-shopping.html">HERE</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and thought I would give it a try.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, we had thrown all our shopping bags away a little bit before so all we had was a Justice bag.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This project was a complete test to see if this method actually worked, it did! But the shirt did not turn out cute enough to actually wear... I think my sister used it as a pajama shirt {maybe she did wear it.. I don't remember. :)}</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I don't actually have a craft room, but I have this cute little corner</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(it's hard to explain, but it's not just a normal corner... :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These pictures were taken when it was finished... needless to say, it's not this tidy anymore... I should get on that.</div>

Let's start with the shelves. My mom bought this shelf from some friends and was kind enough to let me use it for my craft space :)</div>

My mini dress form... I love it! I saw one at Tai Pan Trading one time (it's like a Home Goods type store) but was NOT going to pay about $40 for it. So I searched on ebay till I found one for around $20. SO CUTE. :)</div>

I got my desk on craigslist for FREE. Got to love free right?!? It's a VERY sturdy desk.. but very heavy. It wasn't fun for my brothers/dad to get up the stairs. Also, when I painted it, it peels off. So it may be getting replaced sometime soon. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Ingredients:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 cups hazelnuts</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
12 ounces semi-sweet choclate (1 bag of semi sweet choc ships)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
12 ounces milk chocolate (1 bag of milk chocolate chips)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/2 cup sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1.5 cup heavy cream</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pinch of salt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Recipe:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place hazelnuts on a cookie sheet and roast for 10-15 minuets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Once hazelnuts have cooled vigorously rub nuts between your palms to get the skin off. Most of it should come off very easily, if there is some skin left on it is okay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Place roasted nuts in the high powered blender or food processor and puree for 5 minuets. First, it will chop the nuts and then it will make hazelnut butter. It will look very similar to a peanut butter. The goal is to have this be as smooth as possible so leave it on for a good 5 minuets. set aside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. In a medium saucepan heat cream , salt, and sugar until hot. Add chocolate and still until just melted. Remove from heat and let cool for about 15 minuets. You should add the hazelnut butter when the chocolate and cream mixture is warm but NOT hot. If the chocolate mixture is too hot the oil from the hazelnuts will separate and you will end up with a gloppy texture rather than silky smooth. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once it's warm mix the hazelnut butter in and jar. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Serve at room temperature but store in the refrigerator. Will keep in the fridge about 2-3 weeks but again bring to room temp before serving. It;s fantastic with Challah bread!!</div>

Roast the hazelnuts for 10-15:</div>

You all know I'm getting ready for my first craft show, right? :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, until then, I've put the shop on vacation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I need time to 1. get ready for my craft show. and 2. add new things to my shop</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My shop will {hopefully} be back in the beginning of December. {let's hope;)}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check back tomorrow for a NEW recipe I tried out, sooo yummy. :)</div>

So you may be wondering why I haven't had any new posts....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's why :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am doing my FIRST craft show right after Thanksgiving.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't really think you can understand my excitement unless you were there when I got the news.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Literally could. not. sleep. I had ideas swarming around in my head for booth decorations and such.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But it's not gonna be easy let me tell you that. I will have a total of about a month and a half to make everything. Add to that mixture my school studies, church activities, etc. (need I go on?) and you get a very busy girl who doesn't have much free time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which I am totally fine with - because I'm <b>so</b> excited. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Holidays are my <b>FAVORITE</b> time of year. The weather, the excitement, and just the feeling. So adding my first craft fair makes it <b>even</b> better. :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
not even halfway done :P</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so until this craft show is over, I won't be doing any tutorials and stuff, but I think I might start doing a couple what I wore posts (what do you think?) and of course, pinterest loves :). </div>

I love Halloween, for the fact that you can dress up, and no one looks at you weird. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Why can't we have more "Halloweens"?!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't really like the scariness, and creepiness of it much though. Some people take it WAYYYY too far... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

healthy brownies?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yes, I know this post was supposed to be for yesterday.. but 2 new things were thrown at me at the last minute... so much for free time ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I figured I'd try these brownies.. I'd never tried them, and they're healthy, so you could eat them as a snack.</div>

4. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan before slicing into 2-inch squares.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't really like my hair up. I used to throw it in a ponytail <b>e.v.e.r.y.</b> day. I <b>rarely</b> wore it down. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I rarely wear it up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But when I do, I can't stand to just throw it in a plain ponytail. I'm weird.. I know.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{Since I love braids I usually do a braid on the side or whatever.}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like doing a high bun sometimes (as seen on Sydney of The Daybook <a href="http://www.thedaybookblog.com/2010/11/round-two.html">here</a>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Except I have yet to make it THAT big. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I like messy buns, so when I saw <a href="http://theletter4.blogspot.com/2011/09/naes-hows-it-hangin-braid.html">this tutorial</a> via <a href="http://vintagewannabee.blogspot.com/">VWB</a> it caught my attention.<br />
<br />
So on a day where I was rushed to school, I did it, but I wanted something a little different.<br />
<br />
{let's not pay attention to my awkward face and tired eyes. let's just say waking up at 5:30am every morning catches up to you sooner or later ;)}<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4vVJf-HgIdpEM9D7pe53Pw1lnWen5NNRpwnSEkU5XVi-O2ys6oWEuwupFLhuTMiGevernNYiOedMYpAVGL2fXrTRxR4PYI4NcZiP7HLy-PHdk7AKNktgG_9IfVukzM5s_-jjcBy-gTu8/s1600/1234567890.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4vVJf-HgIdpEM9D7pe53Pw1lnWen5NNRpwnSEkU5XVi-O2ys6oWEuwupFLhuTMiGevernNYiOedMYpAVGL2fXrTRxR4PYI4NcZiP7HLy-PHdk7AKNktgG_9IfVukzM5s_-jjcBy-gTu8/s640/1234567890.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
So instead of letting the braid hang that day, I folded it up and bobby pinned it.<br />
<br />
what is your favorite hairstyle?<br />
this isn't my favorite, but it sure is a super cute way to throw your hair up. it's pretty easy too!<br />

I think I will start doing a "things I ♥ monday" post {hopefully} every monday <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">:)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've seen these "things I ♥" post's all over blog land and love them, so I figured I'd do my own too :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
and right now, I'm loving fall fashion. We're on the line between summer and fall and I literally cannot wait! I'd rather be cold than hot, anyone else feel the same way?!?<br />
<br />
my two must have's for fall:<br />
<br />
boots, boots, boots!<br />

You may have to read this a few times and study the picture below... but don't give up! It can be a little confusing</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: 10px;"><b>The 1st way: Take the ORANGE knot {on the right}. It should be on the bottom. Bring it up and through the middle of the gray fabric.</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: 10px;"><b>Now, Bring the GRAY knot {the left}, and bring it down and through the orange fabric. {sorry the picture doesn't show the gray part well} </b></span></span></div>

Or simply....</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hey Making Lemonade readers! It’s Alyssa here, from <a href="http://www.funkymonkeyinthemiddle.blogspot.com/" style="color: #0089aa;" target="_blank">Live. Love. Craft</a>. And today I’m going to show you how to make your own custom painted tee shirt! It’s super quick and easy, and at max it will only cost you about 5$ including the tee shirt if you don’t have an old one on hand! You’ll simply need the color of acrylic paint you want, Decoart’s fabric painting medium, water, a marker, a tee shirt, and cardboard.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">{here’s what the fabric painting medium looks like. You can find it in any craft store for about a buck. You just follow the instructions which are mixing certain parts water, medium, and paint.}<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

My Grandma was at Tj Maxx a while ago and saw this huge metal dress form (you know... The ones that are usually $100+) for super cheap and thought of me. So since they are visiting this week they went to Tj Maxx here and found this pretty white one and got it for my {supa supa early} birthday. Isn't it gorgeous?!? It's in my little craft room and I love it. It's taller than ME. You'll probably end up seeing it a lot because I'll be using it to model things:) <br />
<br />
In other news - I still am getting ready for my new product... But I'll give you a hint.....<br />
It has something to do with......<br />
<br />
ruffles.<br />
<br />
*shhh!!! Don't tell anyone... ;)*<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Want to make your own? </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's how!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Supplies:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">old shirt (preferably knit, but you can use cotton too)</div><div style="text-align: center;">Scissors</div><div style="text-align: center;">Sewing Machine</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
