Summer projects!
My Summer cube is by far my favorite one I've done so far! I think because of the bright colors. I also made two mini cubes for my mom and one for my Grams they turned out cute too!!!
The pink polka dots are my favorite...I'm sure you couldn't have guessed that!
This is my frame for Spring and Summer. My grandma helped me out by painting the caterpillar and my mom helped me out with the bee! We make a great team!

Crafting
Alright my goal is to keep up with this better seeing as I have been MIA for the last 9 months.
So for Easter we went back and bought hops! This time I did it all on my own! I love it!
Then my best friend Carrie and I fell in love with these cute cubes we found on a vinyl website that we buy stuff from. So we decided to make one for each holiday and have craft night once a month together. Our first one is Easter and I think they turned out adorable!!! It is such a fun thing to have sitting on my coffee table too! Both pictures are of the same cube I just flipped it so you could see the other sides of it.
The last 9 months I have spent a lot of time decorating my house. I love it and that may very well be my favorite part of having my own house (sad I know). My newest hobby though is making crafts for my house. My favorite thing to decorate each month is my mantle and I've had fun picking out big wooden letters to spell out a word for each holiday and candles to go on the sides. The words get rather expensive, so recently while my mom and I were trying to find a luck that I liked (I was being my normal picky self and not liking anything) we decided to make our own and forget the $40 a shot. We bought the letters for luck for March and my mom painted it for me. It's adorable and turned out like 100 times cuter than the one at the store anyways and for less than half the price.

Philly...I know about time right!
Day 4
We woke up in New Jersey that morning and headed off for Philly for the day! We drove through Connecticut and then finally ended up in Philly. Philly was icy cold but pretty cool to see. We went to the museum where Rocky did his triumphant run up the stairs with that famous music playing. Then we walked down the street and saw several fountains. We stopped for hot chocolate at TGIF's. Worst service ever and there was only 1 other table of people in the whole restaurant ...I can't believe how non existent customer service is in the East. Our server ignored us most of the time and when we asked for the check he actually said that he would bring it when he got around to it...and he definitely didn't do it before then either it took like 15 minutes. Then we went to Pen's Landing and saw the bridge and then headed back to New Jersey because we had to get back to Boston that night. On our way we stopped for dinner in an Indian town. Everything in this town was Indian. The clothing stores sold Indian style clothing, the grocery stores sold Indian food, the restaurants were authentic Indian food, and everybody in the town (besides me) was Indian. I have never felt that out of place in my life it was crazy. Anyways they treated me to authentic Indian food that night. I have to say it wasn't my favorite but it was better then I expected. Most of it is very spicy which isn't my favorite thing anyways. Then we were off to Boston. It took us several hours and we didn't get back to Boston til about 12 or 1 in the morning. We crashed for about 2 hours because we had to leave at 4:30 that morning for the airport because my flight left at 6.
Day 5
I was running on seriously 1 maybe 2 hours of sleep. I caught a flight from Boston to New York and then flew from New York home. The flight from Boston was really cool. There were only about 15 people on the whole plane so I had an entire row to myself. I scooted over to the window and watched as we flew over New York and got to watch the sunrise for the most part from the plane. When we landed in New York we didn't pull up to the terminal. They lowered the stairs and we climbed down and then caught a shuttle to the terminal which was kind of fun seeing as that never happens. The flight home from New York I tried to get some sleep but between the crying baby in front of me and the old guy who kept pulling my hair and kicking me behind me I slept very very little. When I got home I was so excited to be home and to see my mountains. My sister in law and nieces picked me up which made it even funner.
Here are some pics from Philly

Boston Trip - Part 2
Alright so it only took me 3 weeks to get back to this...but here goes....
Day 3
We got up and headed off for New York on Monday morning. We being Saharsh, his roommate Hemant, and of course me! We went through Connecticut on our way and stopped to getting some breakfast....we tried finding a Denny's but the gps led us to a little old house so we gave up and settled for Burger King for breakfast.
New York was amazing...I can't even put it into words I was awestruck at how big and busy it was. We drove through New York and to New Jersey to pick up their friend Pradeep from his apartment. He was our official tour guide of the city.
First off we rode the subway from New Jersey to New York. The subway was kind of interesting seeing as you see it in all the movies. I am not a huge fan of it...it was musty and humid down there...it may have been cause it was a rainy day I don't know. The subway let us off at the World Trade Center so we got to see them working on building the new one. It was raining so we broke out our umbrellas and took off. Our first stop was Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange, and the bull.
Our next stop was out to look across at the Statue of Liberty. With the rain and only one day to see the whole city we didn't go across to the island to see it though. By this time we were completely soaked so we stopped at a restaurant on the pier and ate lunch. Then we were off for more fun.
Then we went to Rockefeller center which is NBC headquarters. We were able to explore that and then Saharash and I went to the top of the Rock to see the view of the city. We were on top of a 70 story building which was pretty cool. We didn't get to see as much as we could have because of the fog but it was still worth the money to go see the view. We also timed it perfect we got up their just before sunset. So we got to see the city in the daylight (well as much daylight as you can get on a rainy day) and then watch as the city started lighting up.
We spent quite a while up there and then headed off to Times Square to meet up with Pradeep and Hemant again. We went to Hard Rock Cafe for a break and to grab drinks and of course to explore it. We went and explored Times Square and of course I made them stop so I could do some souvenir shopping. By this time we were pretty much exhausted so we headed off to catch the subway back to New Jersey.
We spent the night at Pradeeps apartment. It was pretty cool he gave up his bed for me so I got to fall asleep looking out the window at the view of the city...I thought it was a pretty cool view to fall asleep too seeing as I'm used to my view of the mountains.
I have 5 million pictures from New York...so I narrowed it down to my favorites and still had a ton...so I put them in a slideshow instead so here it is....
