Today some friends of mine that go to VCU with me decided to take a cute VCU picture, and this is how it turned out. I really love this school and I am so happy that I got into the VCUarts program for my freshman year and that I was accepted into the Interior Design program which is what I came into the school wanting to do. However this is my last week in Richmond until December. I guess its also time to write that my original plans to serve an 18 month mission have changed and I will no longer be serving a mission at this time. I have decided that I still want to take a semester off and move to Utah, to spend time with my grandparents who are ill and to work. I will be heading West at the end of June and I will be staying there until December when I will return to Richmond and finish my general education classes in the Spring Semester This change of plans is definitely a curve ball thrown in my path.

Oh The Places We'll Go: My Bodies Journey : So, I've been home for winter break a few days now, and I was looking through old photos of me from around freshman and sophomore yea...

For example someone who I deem pretty walks by, and the immediate thought in my head is "I wish I was that skinny, I wish I was that pretty..." But I realize that I am having those automatic nega...

Instructions for A Bad Day I think I need to listen to this video, and just let go.

I just wanted to try and see if I could do a double exposure. I still don't know exactly what I am doing and I know they could be better but these were fun.

So For my last Time studio video project we had to do a 2-3 minute or longer instructional video and my topic was "Crafts for Everyone on a Budget" I especially focused on the words Everyone, and wanted to come up with something that didn't take skill, patience or a whole lot of time to do, so that everyone could do this, given that you don't care about getting messy for a little bit. So what I came up with is something called body stamping. Honestly this was a lot of fun, and even though it was for a project, it turned out awesome and I would do it again just for fun. Here is the video followed by pictures of it all! Comment what you think!

For my latest time studio video project I had to come up with a 3 minute instructional video with the topic "Crafts for everyone on a budget" This is the aftermath of the idea I had called "Body Stamps"  It was awesome, the video will be up this weekend.
