I'm always looking for new, creative ways to gift wrap. It never fails, when I'm in a crunch for time, that's when my best gift wrapping happens, yet I could do without the stress involved.... so I went to one of my favorite sites - www.realsimple.com. I clicked on an appropriate tab, "holidays" and saw this heaven-sent article (with pictures!) --- 21 Easy Holiday Gift Wrapping Ideas

Little Worlds
They started by tracing a circular paint palette as their Earth. Then, they took that same pencil and designed their own lands and boundaries. After that, they traced on top of their pencil etchings with a black marker. Next, they did the oceans. I explained to them the reason why the coasts were lighter and the further out the water gets darker. They got it and the outcome was pleasing to my eyes! After the ocean was done, we went onto the green lands. Here, the rules did not apply. They created their own shades and painted however the way they wanted to. I did, however, stress the fact that we didn't want perfectly straight lands, so I asked them to make wavy brush-strokes - and they did. ;-]
And lastly, my favorite, we painted the black universe and once it was semi-dry, we used glittery paint to represent all the magnificent stars!
So, how did they do?!

Midpoint of Semester
Well, I started my second semester of college! It's a tad tougher and more time-consuming but the Lord prevails even in the most difficult of situations. I'm really excited about fall and am about to go buy a gorgeous Christmas tree with my mother (it has snow on it!!! yay!). I am fully moved into my new home and enjoy it sooo very much. I pulled out my heater two days ago b/c I like to have my own climate in my room - I'm a cold-natured person, ha. Nathan, my love, is super busy at work (which is a real good thing) regardless of the economic struggle, he is prospering! I enjoy playing tennis now. About four days ago, I went to one of my favorite stores and found great bargains on super cute winter coats. The lady at the registered was puzzled as to why I'm buying winter coats and said, "coat shopping already? Wow, you're ahead of the game!." And of course I replied with, "I'm really excited about fall and winter!" My etsy shop is on hold and truly miss having it up and running. It was a wonderful feeling when I found out I sold something and had the wonderful opportunity to deliver it to that desired customer. Auuuhh, memories. I'll get it up and running again someday, but in a day that has no school! (maybe Christmas vacation...hmmm).
So, anyway. Glad to be back. I look forward to reading about all my followers' lives and such. Thanks for listening to my update - I appreciate you!

O no?! Not in the rain?

Why not in the sludge, the rain, or the snow???

Sushi for lunch, yum.
Nathan and I often go out to lunch and enjoy an inexpensive meal. Though, this time, we both agreed on sushi for lunch. Something we've never done before and never understood why. The dilemma of this lunch date was "where?" We loooooooooooove this new Japanese steakhouse called Miyako, but its near me. It would clearly take Nate 45 minutes just to get over here. So, we pondered and Nathan shot out a suggestion => "how about Orient Express?!" [this was the place of our first date - which happened to be on my 22nd birthday]
After that, I was assuming we were going to say goodbye, but surprisingly the meal didn't take too long so Nathan also suggested this new frozen yogurt placed called Yoforia. It's a self-serve, make your own frozen yogurt!!! The glee in my eyes was obvious. We paid for the amount we got. There's no rule -- you fill your cup up to the level desired. Fruit, candy, and chocolate toppings are at your disposal. When you're done, it's weighed and then you pay. Simple, right? Right! It was soooooooo yummy. [sorry, no personal pic of our creation]
