{Vintage Picture Frame }

My mom has a friend that is extremly crafty , and she gave me this idea !

Vintage Picture Frame

What you do is ...

Take a fork that you seldom use .
Then bend the two outside sprongs back , and the two middle sprongs forward .
( You might need a strong daddy or brother to do that part for you ;) 
Then take a pleirs, ( I think that is what I used :) and bend the ends of the two middle sprongs upward a bit . Like what the picture looks like .

Then add your picture ...
                                              And Ta -da ! A vintage fork picture frame :)


What do you think ? Mine looks a little wierd( And plain ) , so you might want to use a fork that has some flowery design on it .


*Note : These pictures were taken quickly , so thus the horrible pics :)

P.s. I'm not sure where I got the Vintage from ! ( Lol )

Go Enter !

Under My Turquoise Umbrella is having a 100th post giveaway ;)

{Candid Camera - Pot - Shoes , Etc ...}

 Nearly 5 times I've started to write this post and have erased it because I didn't like the way I worded it ! Lol ! So , this is the last time I'm writing this :)

Several days ago , It was simply gorgeous outside ! But that was before Storm Dana hit us in Wisconsin . Now we have 6 foot drifts ! But during the time it was warm and springy feeling , I took the chance to take some pictures .

Hope you like the pics :)



*Note: This Photo is being entered in Candid Camera over at joyfullgirlcreations.blogspot.com

 I don't like this photo as much as the other one .
 I LOVE this picture ! The lighting is amazing , I love the pot , the leaves and sticks in the background , the edit I did on it ... Love it !

 I really like this picture . Maybe I like it for it's simplicity .
Well , I hope you like the pictures !

Love ya'll ! Have a great week :)

Movie Review { Despicable Me }

One of my followers said that they would like to see some movie reviews . So , I am going to do a movie review on Despicable Me :)

Despicable Me , Is about a villain named Grew , and three orphan girls .

Grew , is determined to steal the moon , with the help of his minions ( Those are minions in the video below :) . But , another villain , Vector , has stolen the tool Grew needs to shrink the moon . So , he adopts 3 girls to help him get the tool . At first he is rather rude to them , and makes them stay in the kitchen ... But , soon , the girls start to melt his heart . He becomes just like a father to them , but his inventor notices that these girls are getting into the way of stealing the moon . He then fixes for the adoption center to take the girls away from Grew . Broken-hearted , but determined , Grew sets off to the moon in his rocket . He manages to shrink the moon , but then notices that he can still make his girl's dance recital . When he arrives at the recital , he finds a note from Vector saying , "I have the girls . Bring the moon , and I will return the girls  !" Grew then gives up the moon to Vector , but Vector goes back on his promise and flies off with the girls . In the meantime ... Grew's inventor notices that the tool that shrinks things , only shrinks things for awhile , but then goes back to it's normal shape . So , he goes off into his airplane to search for Grew and tell him the news . 

To make a long story short ... Grew saves his girls, ( And re-adopts them :)  and the moon is returned to it's proper place !

This may sound like a dumb , stupid movie , but I found that it isn't .It is hilarious, ( You'll be holding your sides through the entire movie :)  but  it is also really heart-warming and touching .

I would recommend this movie to anyone !








If you would like to see more clips , just go to youtube and type in Despicable Me / clips .

Uncreative ?

Lately , I've been uncreative .

I feel like my blog titles are simply lame . They're uninteresting  and dreadfully boring.

My blog posts are short and skimpy . And this past week , I 've been struggling to write blog posts . I simply don't know what to blog about . Honestly , I don't . I do have a few things I could write about , but I was going to save those ideas for later .

And my photography . Ugh ! I haven't been able to get any decent pictures . And everything is white . What's there to take pictures of ? And when I do take pictures , my hands freeze , so thus resulting in terrible pictures !

* Sigh *

Are you feeling uncreative lately ? Is your mind empty of ideas ? Are you finding your posts lame because of uninspired ideas ?

Your not alone .

I have been lately uncreative .

So blog friends ... Would you please tell me what you  would like to see on my blog . Do you want to see craft posts  , daily life , contests , pictures , etc.

Please , tell me what you would like to see on here . Because my brain is not calculating anything to write about lately . Please tell me things you would like , so I can once again get creative !

{ Vintage }

Lets' just say this ... I love vintage clothing !!!!

Just a nice dress to go for a stroll in .
I love the pure whiteness of this dress .( It could be a little more modest , though . )  

All of these dresses above , are adorable ! ( And pretty modest !)
*Sigh* ( Wishful dreaming ...)
Cute or what ?
It makes me think of summer !


I love this dress !!!!! Wish I could have it .
So simple , yet cute .
LOVELY !
This dress is one of my favorites . It reminds me of June Cleaver .
Liking the peach color . ( It little more modest , please !)
Super cute ... But could be a little longer .

* Sigh * Don't you wish you could have them all ? I  do ... And aren't they adorable ???

Have a great week !
