This video is a stop motion of the whole month of December at my house ^
I had a really great christmas, and I'm really just thankful for everything my family has done for me and all the nice things they constantly do even when I don't deserve it. They are really amaze balls people.
Also, here's a photo of my stocking that I told ya'll about in the Christmas Tag:
My mom made the one on the far left end that says Donna, that's hers. And she made mine at the very beginning on your right that says Nora. The two small ones in the middle are from her boyfriend's family, and the two red ones are kits my two younger sisters did one year. My mom said she's probably going to break out the sewing machine before next year and make them all big ones as well. There are two not pictured, and that'd be my two older brothers who don't live with us anymore, she also made those. We've had these big stockings since I was like.. I wanna say 4 or 5 years old, I can't remember. It's been awhile.
Thank ya'll for reading my blog and watching my junk :) Ya'll are the best. I'm going to do a mini series of posts starting in a couple of days of my "winter beauty essentials." Each post will be dedicated to a different thing, like one will be eyes, one will be face, and so on and so forth. So, I hope ya'll will be looking forward to that. :)
On Friday night I had a gift exchange with my closest friends, Stephen, Erik, Manuel, & Ivan. :)
I made a stop motion, so here's that:
And the silly photos we took in stephen's apartment if you don't want to watch all the to the end in the stop motion or watch it at all:
Stephen & I. :)
These boys. :) Erik, Stephen, Manuel, & Ivan.
E, S, N, M, I
I really don't know why they took of their shirts.
I just don't question their lives anymore, I guess. Hahah. :)
Christmasssss. :)
Stephen got me the new book on Kurt Vonnegut that has all of his letters and old photos in it. I'm beyond stoked about that. I adore these guys. :)
I really couldn't ask for better friends. They're all equally important to me. I've known all of them since the start. I've been friends with them since I moved here four years ago, and they're honestly the few people I've really kept in contact with and kept being friends with since graduation. I love these guys to bits, seriously.
I'm headed to an "ugly christmas sweater" themed party tonight. So, I'll try to include some photos of that in my Christmas post or some other random post. It'll be super fun. I've been documenting christmas around our house all month, so I'll have a nice collective christmas stop motion to do after actual Christmas Day is over and done with. :)
I met Elva in high school. We didn't really start hanging out until after we both had graduated high school. She's really awesome. She's going to cosmetology school now. Anddddd, she's like my makeup bfffffff. I think every time we hang out, we're either going through each others makeup, talking about it, looking at it online, or at the store buying it. No lie.
Anyway, I made this stop motion last time we hung out.
The song is: Technicolor Dreams by A Toys Orchestra
This is a stop motion I made of events yesterday. The camera I
use is a Sony Alpha 200. And the song I used is, The World Spins Madly
On by The Weepies.
My bestfriend is Jasmine. We like to get all DIY up in here all the time. Yesterday we made a Target run after sweating at a park and getting ridiculously hungry.
While we were looking around the dollar section of Target, Jasmine said, lets get glow sticks and bubbles. She pulled up a DIY blog on her phone and showed me "glow stick bubbles." I was so IN. The blogger said all you needed to do was empty glow sticks into a container of bubbles, and blow. It sounded simple, so we went for it.
We purchased these things, some food, ate, then went on our merry way to one of the various parks in our town. When we got there we noticed a truck was there. At first we were hesitant to stay since it was dark, but the park was well lit and the driver of said truck was nowhere to be found. So, we hauled our stuff to the merry go round and began working on these glowing bubbles. First thing we noticed was, we did not purchase scissors. Good job us, right?
Jasmine went to her truck to try to find something when a man in swim trunks comes walking up to her. He says he's really thirsty and out of water, so she offers him a juice box. He takes it, and gets in his truck. She heads back over having not found anything resembling scissors or a knife and we continue trying to open these glow sticks. This man approaches us, asking our ages, names, why we're out there so late. It was literally uncomfortable. When we get up to start leaving he asks why, so we mention we don't have any scissors. He claims to have three pairs in his truck if we wanted to come get them. We said no, and proceeded through the parking lot to our vehicle. Creepy.
To be fair though, he did have three pairs of scissors, and he gave us two pairs as we were pulling out of the parking lot. Which we both found pretty strange. Jasmine bolted out of there not wanting him to follow us. We proceeded to a different park across town and set up camp again. This time with the strange man's scissors it was easy to open the glow sticks. First thing we found out though, cutting open a glow stick is like projectile vomit. The second thing we found out was that it just didn't work. Maybe it was because the glow sticks were cheap or we didn't have enough, but it just did not work. It was depressing. Jasmine was totally disappointed because she had had this DIY bookmarked for awhile on her phone and really wanted to do it.
Let down and feeling like failures, I notice there are some glow sticks left in the tube. So, I tell her about the light photography. She's seen my photos of it before, but we had never done it together. I included these photos at the end of this stop motion. I think it made up for the fact that our glow-y bubbles were a failure.
