Fail, then Excitement!

So I've officially decided to drop out of school. And at first I felt like such a failure and was all upset but now I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off me. I feel like I so many more options now to do with my life. Like live with La! I feel happy and calm and well.

Sweatpants Saturday

It's Sweatpants Saturday! Meaning, I wear sweatpants to work. Usually the same ones I slept in last night. 
So Sam and I are opening our own online crochet shop. The website is gonna be www.smithtwist.com, but nothing is up yet. "Smith" because we both have that last name, and "twist" because yarn is twisty. And we have nifty little handbooks to lead us to success: The Handmade Marketplace
An hour and a half left of work. GAH boring. I best create things.

Scrap Your Word Challenge

I decided to participate in a little Studio Calico scrapbooking challenge. So groovy. The guidelines were to take a photo of yourself and put it in a layout with a word that sums up your goals for the new year. So the word I decided upon is "completion." And here is my awesome page:
Those aren't actually recent pictures of me (now I have hair like a boy) but I haven't showered in days so I didn't want to take a picture of myself right now haha. TMI? Maybe. So these are pictures from the last semester of school that I actually completed. I think they were a good choice because they can serve as a little reminder that I actually CAN finish school. That's one of the main reasons I chose the word "completion." I have trouble finishing things I start, especially school-related things. And then of course the billions of crochet and art projects that are half-finished. So it's a good word for me to focus on. 
And that's that!
