Blaming Pinterest...

So, I recently did something that I completely blame Pinterest for...Well, and Toy Story.

So, I was just moseying around Pinterest, minding my own business, when I see a pin...

And it was so cute, I just couldn't help but dig out my old pair of boots and give it a try! (And by "dig" out my old boots, I mean grab them from my closet. lol) 

First: Grab your boots, some cotton balls, rubbing alcohol, and a fat tipped sharpie marker. 

   

Next, your going to clean the bottom of your right boot with the alcohol, like so...

Once your boot is good and clean, and I mean really clean, you can't have any dirt on there if you want this to work. Anyway, once you clean your boot, your going to grab your sharpie and draw an "A", then a backwards "N", then an "D", and a "Y"...Do ya know what that spells? ANDY!!!! :D

It should come out looking like this....

And there you have it! A Toy Story boot! :D

...

See? Pinterest is dangerous! ;) 

I'M SO SORRY!!!!

OMG guys! OMG!

I didn't realize it had been months since I had posted anything. 

I'M SO SORRY!! 

Forgive me? Pretty please? 

So, I'm guess it's time I update you guys on what's been up, huh? lol

Not a whole lot really. 

I've been doing school....And I feel like I can almost see the Oh-my-gosh-your-finally-done! party lights at the end of the tunnel! 

I've still got my braces. (And have no idea when I'm getting them off :/) But no more expander! Woot woot!! *raises roof* 

I've been doing little things here and there, like spending time with my cousins, having some super amazingly awesome girl-night's with my Angie (Yes, I have claimed you as my own now, deal with it ;) lol), babysitting (Which I love doing :D).

...

And, I've kinda, shorta started wearing make-up...Which is something I never really thought about until now.  But whatever. I'm seventeen, it's high time I started acting more like a girl. lol

...

So I think that's it for now. 

I promise I will try not to take months to post something next time, I swear! 

Later!

30 Days Of Thankful Challenge: Part 3

And, here's part 3!

21. a disappointment or fear

I'm  sorry, but this one seems kinda weird to me...How can you be thankful for a fear or disappointment?
Maybe after I read Amy's I'll get an idea of what this one should mean?

22. a book

The Alice series by Phyllis Reynold Naylor
 Their a really good series of books, and they really turned me on to reading.
 

23. a feeling

Ok, so I'm going with this meaning a 'physical' feeling instead of an 'emotional' feeling, so...
I know this is probably weird...But, I feeling of being cuddled/cuddling something. Maybe that's why I love hugs, and I sleep cuddled up to a body pillow?

24. a photograph

This one...

My grandma, my big brothers, and I at Disney World.

25. a luxury
I'm so thankful for warm water and electricity!
It's a big pain in the butt when you don't have it!
 

26. a charity
 I don't know...I've never really thought about that before....I guess I'd say The Salvation Army or Toys For Tots. :)

27. a song

I'm thankful for all music, really. (I'm a total music nut! I love music!)

28. a gift

I know I've already said I was thankful for my camera...But I'm going to say it again.
Because, it was a gift that my dad got me, and I love it! :)

29. something in your home

My parents bed.
It's where we all gather in the mornings on the weekend, it's where we all try to pile in the bed to watch tv, or anything like that.
 

30. the thing you’re most thankful for

My family and friends. 
Their everything to me, and I would do anything for them.

And with that, we have came to the end of the '30 days of thankful' challenge!

I hope y'all have a Happy Thanksgiving! :)

30 Days Of Thankful Challenge: Part 2

So, here's part 2

11. a tradition

Every Christmas morning, my brother and I get up at six in the morning, then go wake up my mom and dad. 

It's something we did ever since I was little.

12. a gadget

My camera.

I think that one is pretty self explanatory...

13. something old

 My animal blanket...

I've had it since I was a baby.

14. something new

 Ok, my room isn't really 'new' but, it's been redone, so it counts! lol

15. a recipe

My Maw's Chicken and Dumplings, and My Nanny's Potato Salad.

Two of my favorite things...Their so yummy! But, no one makes it like they do.

16. an experience

Getting my drivers license.

That was a big thing for me, and I'm thankful I passed the test and got it!

17. a store

I love Target. It's one of my favorite stores. 

18. a saying/quote/scripture

 This is one of my favorites...

"You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it."-Benjamin Mee

19. a favorite piece of clothing

 Right now....My cowgirl boots.

I also love scarfs. :)

20. a keepsake

My Precious Moment. 

I've had her since I was a baby, and I love it.

I plan to pass it down to my daughter some day. (If I ever have one.)

30 Day's Of Thankful Challenge: Part 1

So, Amy started a "30 Days Of Thankful Challenge".....And, I decided to try it....Let's see how this goes. 

1. a person

My dad.

 He's crazy, funny, goofy, loving, and 99% of the time  he knows how to make me smile or laugh when I'm upset.

2. an animal

 My Brownie.

He's a sweetie....When he's not barking.

3. a cozy place in your home.

My messy bed.

It's so warm and comfy, it's the perfect place to relax.

4. a favorite snack

Pineapple! I love Fresh Pineapple. 

5. a place

 Anywhere my family is.

6. a pair of shoes

 Um...Any of these! Their so comfy, and I love that they come in different colors. 

7. a scent

 Perfume.

 Any kind of perfume, and the smell of make-up. 

They both remind me of my Grandmothers. :)

8. a restaurant

I love Chick Fil-a!

 And when I say love, I mean I LOOOOVE! Chick Fil-a!

Their food is so yummy. Plus, I'm all about supporting fellow Christians. :) 

9. a blog

 There are a few blogs I read. 

But, I'd say the ones I'm most thankful for are:

Ahh Mom 

And

The Adventures Of AmyEmu 

10. a time of day

 I don't really have a time of day I'm thankful for....But, I like this time of day.....

I went out side one morning when it was freezing to take this.....

Thanksgiving.....

Happy (Almost) Thanksgiving!!!! :D

This is my FAVORITE! time of the year! :)

Thanksgiving and Christmas are my favorite holidays. Ever.

Who's excited?!?!

ME!!!! *Raises hands*

I'm also super excited for 'Black Friday' and (as my brother and I were calling it) 'Black Thanksgiving' :)

I love going out shopping late at night....I think my dad is dreading it though. lol

So, I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Eat lots of Turkey,
 (Just don't break the scale in your Grandma's bathroom. *Family story. lol* )

Enjoy being with your family,

And don't forget,

Be Thankful!

~Brittany


(PS. I'll most likely do a 'What I'm Thankful For' post soon! :) )
