DIY #1 Faux Letters- On Hold

Hello!

Remember my post where I talked about my favorite blogger? If not, heres the post.

I said that I wanted to do the faux letters for my kitchen or living room and couldn't decide which word to use. I was thinking about "FOOD" since food is number one in my life.... sorta.... (for those who know me well, I get full easily and don't eat that much....) I enjoy going out to restaurants and eat pasta or salad or whatever is good on the menu.... I hate hate hate to cook for just myself and I learned how to cook for more than 3 people. I always feed my family since I was always the first one who get home from school when I was growing up. So when I first moved to my first apartment I cooked for me and my ex so it was easier to cook for 2 then when I moved out and moved in with Adam and Fitch.... (two of the best roommates ever!) I found it really difficult to cook just for myself because I always end up with leftovers and I rarely eat left overs.... (mostly because it taste different than the first time I ate it) There are only some left over foods that I do eat for example: bean casserole, baked mac and cheese, lasagna, pasta, egg salad, salad, sometimes pizza, and maybe tacos that haven't been assembled yet. So you see... I am picky about my leftovers. Haha. Then I moved in with my best friend and her boy friend.... we started out by taking turns cooking every night then somehow we didn't stick to the plan and I ended up cooking for myself again. I sometimes cook big batch of lasagna or casserole or whatever I cook, and bring the half of the batch to my other best friend who lives maybe 15 minutes away because I knew the leftover food won't go into the trash unless it stays with me for a week then I throw them out. Throwing out $$$$ doesn't make me oh not so happy girl. 

anyway.... back to the point... F O O D are the letters I will use for this project... I will just have to keep an eye out for sales at Joann and use my coupons and pick up the letters and papers and get to work on it.... so... the project is onnnnnnn hold!!!!!!

until then.... keep your eyes peeled for the updated post on this DIY #1 project!!!

My Favorite Blogger Ever: My Yellow Umbrella!

So one of her projects was the Faux Letters:

Doesn't it look soooo cool?!?

1st Post!

Hi Dreamers!!

My name is Nicole and I am a dreamer in Rochester! This is my first blog!! Whoo!!

I will be posting pictures and information of my DIY crafts, cooking recipes, and baking recipes... and I am really excited to start this adventure and to be able to share them all with all of you!

So since I will be leaving my two roommates this summer and get on an adventure of living on my own with my dog, Bear, I am craving to get my hands on all of my furniture and paint them all black and make some decorative items for my new place. So once the dance company season ends in 3 weeks, I am going to do as many projects as possible with little amount of money (since I am still a college student and just landed on a part time job that will be my full time job this summer and saving as much money as possible)  before I pack up and move!

Keep your eye out for more posts!
