oh summer

It really is the busiest time of the year...but it's a good busy...not like the school kind of busy. It's a fun busy. So i know this is sooo long ago and im a terrible poster and due to my slackerness this is going to be VERY long. and with tons of pictures.

...but my class went really well...we didnt have enough time...but I kind of expected that...and thankfully we had enough looms for the wonderful women to take their work home to finish...






also...i ended up loooooving my art work for my organization...i really didnt want to part with it...but I love the woman who ended up winning it and mine and hannah's organization earned the second most money of all the organization but we were up against an art major so what do you expect? My mother says that I might have to recreate my piece for her haha. That would be strange...






I was so honored to be showing my work next to such talented artists. I am always so excited to see what a creative group we have at my church!



These two were done by two sisters at my church, Lauren and Leslie, Leslie is one of our interns this summer :).

Also,
We did the most exciting thing at my church earlier this month planned by our fabulous interns.



A Preppy Picnic!

I had so much fun taking pictures!
We dressed up, played croquet, badmitten, and had a picnic on blankets...the wonderful Malvin DJed (him and his wife (lauren) are my favorite...shes the one who painted the artwork above...). It was so cute and so much fun...I seriously think that my brother was made for that kind of lifestyle...you shall see why...I am rolling my eyes right now...






Also,
here is some new funness I have been working on lately, and today I felt really inspired to start creating artwork for my room because it is nice and clean haha.

sneak peek

hello :)

here is a little sneak peek of a couple projects I am working on this week.



My friend hannah and I are working on teaching our first class! yay! I'm so pumped!
and the art is for an auction that is going on during the class.
Hannah and I have have been working non stop the past couple days. It's been crazy!
Saturday my friend, Corey, has put together an event called the 6th Day Art Exhibit (thus called for the day that God created man and all of his gifts and talents). There are going to be 6 different classes that you can take three of: poetry, painting, music production, photography, arts and crafts, and graphic design.
Corey asked me and hannah to do arts and crafts and we are teaching how to make woven bags :). They are sooo cute. We are extremely excited!
Have a great week and pray that I dont go into overload. update after saturday! :)
heart, Ali

trees and sticks and leaves




so tuesday my sweet little sister agreed to be in some pictures for me for this new project I'm working on :). She seemed a little nervous on our way there, she wasn't talking, She was just sitting there looking puzzled, she had her thinking face on. As we were walking to our field local I said "look trees" and finally she says "and sticks" and I said "and leaves" and she said "leaves." (she loves leaves haha)...it was so cute. which may sound strange but she is so cute with it, she will go and pick all these leaves off our bushes...but anyway enough creepy sisterness...she ended up having so much fun picking the flowers and running around it was great.

do you believe in magic?










arent baby dandelions just the best?
so my mother is always good for some words of wisdom, and I realized that I should be spending more of my time arting, updating, and sharing some of who God has created me to be instead of being a lazy couch bum. although her words were not for me, they struck home pretty hard. so, hopefully there will be a lot more of me on here. the few who actually read this, okay maybe just a couple hehe, please please please please hold me comment or phone call accountable to this calling. :).

numero uno

so new blog. number one because I was getting frustrated with my old one. Number two because I just needed a fresh start. And three because I just felt like it.

I'm going to actually try and be consistant with this one...we'll see what happens...hehe.

Today I have been bluesy because all of my friends have prom dresses that look marvelous on them, not that the one I currently have doesnt...It just doesnt feel me...erg...went shopping today, still fond nothing...I have a week and a half. woot.

anywho. there is still snow on the ground. It reminds me of one of those movies where suddenly winter turns to spring as the snow slowing melts and blossoms bloom and the grass turns green, but there are still a few hints of snow. I feel like I am in a disney movie. I love it. I need to take a picture of this one yard in our neighborhood. They have perfectly green grass with a huge snow man in the middle. It looks like someone stole a snowman from new york and air lifted it to these people's yard. It is a picture of an oxymoron. again. I love it.

I'm going to my first soccer game of the season. I am super excited. Lots of blankets and coffee. :). go hawks!

heart, Ali
