It's only February?

Well it's official, it's only February and I already have spring fever. The roads are covered in snow and slush and I can't wait for it to melt and make way to sunshiny weather and fresh flowers. This may have been influenced by the 6.5 ft snow pile I had to climb in order to make it to school.

Unfortunately with spring also comes the need of a job. Nope not a summer job like I have been getting every spring for the past several years, but a good old fashioned job that has something to do with the the program I will be completing in April. I have yet to decide where I would like to search for this job and where I would live if it happens not to be in the Sarnia area. Welcome to the real world! 

On the positive side of things, it's now February, and after finishing yet another large studio project I have taken to once again rearranging my room in London. It is now completely cleaned (however a would like to switch up some of my organizational systems). I have a fairly light week which means getting ahead on homework, finishing/starting a few crafts, and preparing for the Valentine's Day dinner. I'm pretty excited to finally implementing some of my decorating skills in an actual setting instead of just mock ups. Once i have some pictures I will definitely post them, and possibly even a valentines day gift idea! 

Young Peoples Events - Nerd Bowling and Christmas Party

After two events I figure it's time to put up some pictures. The first set is our annual Nerd Bowling which we always have at Fleetway in London.

Some Beautiful and Nerdy Ladies.

The first portion of our game in which the majority of us still had normal names. Danielle is of course the Mrs. Noorloose (clearly someone cannot manage last name spelling's) and Steve Deesltra being Capt. America

Not quite sure what was happening here. Erin and Trisha care to explain?

Two Cuties.

What happens whenever someone tries to take a picture of me.

I'm guessing from some previous pictures that I have that this was an attempt of a picture of Mike and I, which was attempted to be photo bombed by Erin and Steve, and then Phil in the back and then right before it was taken Matt decided the bowling ball needed to be there as well.

This was our second game... and of course no one has normal names by this point. Take a guess as to who is who?

Another Interesting Attempt at Bowling.

Some very attractive Expressions.

My very attractive (and Nerdy) Brother

A very Attractive Group we Have!

 And of course there are the more Recent Christmas Party pictures. They are in reverse order for some reason, and I am too lazy to change them around.

The Present that just kept going.

A little blurry... but too good not to post.

Chest of Drawers Revamp

So as I have been speaking about for quite a while, I received a free chest of drawers from Mike who was given it by a customer. He brought it home as a surprise and immediately the gears in my brain started moving. I absolutely love a chance to take an old piece and revamp it into something new and more attractive. This particular piece as can be seen below was quite dated looking. Although parts of it were really would the back was particle board, and as result I'm not torn up about painting it. In the past year my taste has changed quite a bit, I used to have a strong liking for anything old and rugged (I still do a bit) but lately I have been leaning more towards glass and bright whites. For this particular piece I decided to use an accent color, something that would look great in a mostly white room. As a result I wanted it to be painted a bright green with glass knobs. Since I used to have a lime green painted on my bedroom wall in the shape of flowers, we attempted to do a little bit of mixing with white to tone it down. For knobs I went a little over the top. I wanted glass knobs but I couldn't seem to find used ones anywhere. Since I was so eager to just complete the project in order that it could be moved to London because I was seriously lacking storage space.
