your book diy

    I know A LOT of bloggers also love to write stories I usually plan it all out in my head and by the end of the first chapter I usually stop and never finish,but I thought up one and I'm GOING to finish it no matter how long it takes. So heres a sort of DIY on how to make a ordinary notebook into your book.

                         
                                               Things you'll need:
                                                      a notebook
                                                           glue
                                     colored paper/scrapbooking paper
                                   a special pen/markers/or colored pens
                                    Whatever else that catches your fancy
                                              

        Step 1 : Get a notebook you can get them pretty cheap and even cheaper on the back to school sales.






Step 2 : Plan your design,find your color scheme you want to go for,get the paper and other accessories that will flow with it.






Step 3: Cut out your paper and lay it out how you'll want it and look at it a while.....try to find places that look to empty or to cluttered,think of creative things you can change or do to enhance your design. for instance instead of cutting a nice straight line how about ripping the papers edges to give it a nice touch.
Example:



Step 5: Decide on look, write your title, etc.... then glue on your design.

Ta Da...
Now you can write in it and begin your story.



 You can even change the direction and make it a journal instead. =)

Enjoy making your own book.

                                               Oh,and yes I have a slight obsession with Dr. Suess.
                       A few more days and my sisters 2 goats will have babies and I bet I can't convince her (if theres twins.) to name them "thing 1"  and 'thing 2'...... Again! *thuds head*
                                       

 
                  Wanna see how I do my foundation since I'm to lazy to do a tutorial myself.

You get a conceler that is a shade or two lighter then your skin tone. Put it on down the center of your nose
under your eyes,corner of your nose,on top of your cheek bones,your chin,and the center of your forehead.
Take a shade or two darker than your skin tone and apply,under your cheek bones,the top of your forehead by your hair line,under your jaw. This is called Contouring as shown above.
Then take a foundation that is your skin tone and apply all over your face. ALWAYS blend your makeup by doing circular motions with your brush.
I was so happy to find this tutorial on Pinterest,so I can show you all.
It really works wonders.

Life- Its feels like a crazy last few weeks,I have been having fun doing speech and debate,violin lessons,orchestra has been a little challenging and my least favorite. Oh,I'm going to be helping out at a local theater doing hair and makeup,and possibly playing the violin with 2 others for the music in the play (its 'Cinderella') So we'll see if I want to commit to that too. So yeah C.r.A.z.Y.....at least it feels like it. 
Oh, one more thing my mom started a blog the other day. =)
