Craft- Pencil Holder
Today I decided to make a pencil holder to put on my desk. The thing I was using before to hold pencils etc was too impractical. It was this little storage thing that has three drawers. I didn't use it for that much. The first drawer held writing utensils and a few other odds and ends. The other two drawers had very few things in them. So that's why I decided to make a pencil holder that didn't take up lots of space.
What I was using before (It still has random odds and ends stuff that needs to be taken out.)
Now- I originally was making it from blue tissue paper and going with a "modge pog" effect, but then decided I didn't like it... So I did this instead. Which I like a lot more. Made with card stock paper, ribbon, buttons, part of pringles can, and tacky glue. Oh yeah, and tissue paper underneath. (But that's hidden and therefore doesn't count because I changed my mind on the look of it.)
I can't take all the credit. I did look up online how to best make a pencil holder. http://www.makingfriends.com/holder_pencil_pipecleaner.htm This site was a little helpful on deciding what to make the container out of.(Part of a Pringles can.) Other than that, I pretty much did my own thing.
Yes, I was bored but it gave me something to do. And it gave me a chance to be creative.

Video Monday- Beautiful by Mercy Me
Mercy Me was one of the bands that I saw at SoulFest. (Still have to give a summary of that... maybe tomorrow.) I like this song. I would like to buy it someday on itunes.
Oh, and an update on last week's video post... I saw To Save A Life. Great movie with a good message. Everyone should see it. It is a Christian movie. But don't let that stop anyone from seeing it. The movie deals with many issues that teens may face.

Fall Semester
So I picked my classes today for the fall semester at MCC. This will be my second year going there. I am taking Earth Science, Creative Writing, College Algebra I, Sociology, US History- 1870 to present. My financial aid still has to go through. So hopefully everything will work out with that. Also the books are going to be expensive. Grr. Sociology alone needs three different books. :( Oh yeah, I am taking all five of these classes online... Let's see how that goes.
Video Monday - To Save a Life
This movie looks really good. I really want to see it. It's funny actually I came across it because it was one of the little ad things on the side of fb.
