Pin It Friday!

It's finally SPRING, and while the temperatures may not always tell us that, I just knowwwww that warmer
weather is right around the corner, and I can't wait!! =) I can't wait to wear more brightly colored things!

Since we will see some warmer temperatures come this weekend, I thought it would be appropriate for today's Pin It Friday to be pictures of different Spring Fashion ideas!! 

And, I know, I'm a person of many words today, but I think there's only but so much I can say about what I'm posting today for Pin It Friday! haha.

Some funny pictures!

Sometimes, I wonder, "what the heck did I do before a smart phone?!"

Oh, that's right. 
I didn't take 85 pictures a day {because my first phone wasn't a camera phone}. 
I had to use up internet time to search for ringtones to buy.
I didn't have instant access to my email and social media.
I didn't play games to pass the time on care rides.

I only made calls and had limited texting {which I almost always went over....}.

Now, those are the two things I like the least about my phone. haha. I'm a horrible texter-backer -yes, totally I made up word. But since I do use my phone for so much now, having a whole long conversation via text message is almost boring to me. 

Now, if you have an iphone, you know that you can have several internet windows open at a time {I don't know if any other phones have that feature....}.  I always always always have my email open--only to check, I do hate responding to emails from my phone--, subfinder ready to go, my blog up, probably craigslist, and a few other things.

Spirited Art

Can someone PLEASE tell me how it is already April?! This year has already flown by!

A couple weeks ago, my friend Emily and I went to Spirited Art in Short Pump.  If you've never heard of this {or a similar place, Wine & Design}, you go to paint, and you can also buy some wine or food to eat while you paint!  They have classes you can sign up for, where there's an instructor showing the class step-by-step instructions on how to create a painting, and everyone is doing the same thing.  But, Emily and I signed up for an open session, where you can choose any painting to do, they put the original right beside you, and have some of their employees walking around to get you started and help you out!  I enjoyed this, because I think it was easier to go at your own pace, and I know there were several times where Emily and I would just sit back, look at our paintings, and figure out what we liked, what we wanted to change, or just to take a break! haha.

While it took a long time to get every last stroke of paint "perfect," the time FLEW by! We were there just over a couple of hours I think!

Throughout the evening, I took pictures of my canvas, not exactly "step-by-step," more like, just whenever I thought about it! haha.  {And don't even get me started on the smudge on my phone's camera....I've tried and tried to get it off!}
