100 Day Creativity Challenge (Days 22-28)

Alright! On to week four. Who knew I would make it this far. We are almost at the infamous DAY 30 mark, let's hope we make it!

I'm not going to lie, this week was hard. I was busy, feeling uncreative, lazy, and feeling as if I've done everything creative I could possibly do. NOT TRUE! That's one of the points of this challenge, I need to try new things and become better at those. The only NEW thing I've tried so far is crocheting- which I picked up fairly quickly, but it takes forever! I'm a fast results kind of girl. Maybe I should be interested in another field....

Anyway, My Day 22 I was watching this cooking show where you challenge each other cooking with your families. So, you would have a daughter, mother, and father. A mother and two daughters. A grandma, a mother, and son. The combinations were endless. the show was not very good, but I always enjoy watching cooking shows, because it's like eating without the calories #score. BUT this show made me really homesick. I miss my mom's cooking. I miss my sisters. I just miss everyone and everything about home. I was going to cook one of my mom's recipes, but we already had leftovers on the menu.... you can't change that stuff. So, I made this little doodle to make me happier. And what was super cute were the comments I got on this post. First, my sister said she made chicken noodle soup the other day and thought of me. #loveher Then my aunt said she made potato soup the other day and thought of my mom #generationsoflove. It made me happy and I hope it encourages you to cook with your family as often as you can! #Day22



I need to make these shorter, but the one above was just too emotional for me not to write. HAHA! Anyway, day 23 was my hubby's birthday! So, I wrapped his gift in a Sprouts paper bag and wrote HAPPY BIRTHDAY on it. Easy enough. #DAY23


Day 24 was the day our camera arrived!!! We got it for each other as our Christmas gift, and we couldn't wait until December. We bought a Nikon D7500
Reasons: 
1. His family all uses Nikon so we can ask questions on lenses, equipment, etc.
2. It was the cheapest Nikon that can shoot 4K video (which was surprising).
3. It has this awesome app that transfers pictures straight from the camera to Google Photos, even when the camera is off!! it's amazing. 
Anyway, I drew some chalk art to have some fun photographing art and close up objects. This is what I came up with. #DAY24



Okay, Day 25 was very busy... But I got to watch my husband and friend build a stick bomb. Literally the coolest thing ever, check it out on Youtube. It's like Dominos with sticks, and it looks like a cobra. Also I drew another quote, because I was so thankful for having a busy and fun day with these guys! Here's #Day25






Day 26 was uneventful. But I did make these delicious blueberry muffins. I have been practicing my food photography so I can use the hashtag #foodie and not be a poser. Anyway, here they are #Day26






On to Day 27. Today we hosted a small and a whole week early Friendsgiving. My husband and I watched a tech talk on the science of cooking and followed it to a T. We are mad scientist chefs now. We spatchcocked our turkey, which I am writing a blog about in a couple minutes, you can check it out here. It was so juicy and delicious! Words that have never been said about a turkey before. I also made homemade stock and rolls. Here's #DAY27







And lastly for this week, day 28. I wanted to take some more pictures and go out in nature. I also rarely do fun physical activity by myself. So, I thought why don't I go play disc golf by myself and take a bunch of pictures? Genius. Except the sun was in the wrong place for the mountains to look pretty.... and I need to study up on how to make that better. And all the grass and trees are pretty much dead at this point in the season. But I had fun, I played a good round and took some fun artsy pictures. Enjoy #Day28

100 Day Creativity Challenge (Days 92-100)

Okay, So I have a couple extra days in this post, but it's the last post!!!!! 100 DAYS!!!!! I am the coolest! Leading off with #DAY92 with my all time favorite motivational quote! It's seriously amazing, and online it has an extra part, but I didn't think that was appropriate for social media.... For #DAY93 I was sitting around knowing I wanted to do some block letters, but couldn't think of anything to write. Then my hubbers walked in the door and here it is. It was a quick doodle, but he really liked it. So, it's a keeper. Now #DAY94 I made this amazing WHOLE30 approved gumbo with cauliflower rice!!!! It was so amazing, very spicy, but will eat again after the diet..... probably with real rice, but that's okay. PS, don't you just love my parsley garnish??? So artsy. Hahahaha! Recipe here And this is #DAY95. I only have 5 days left.... this is insane. I'm sure all my family and friends are happy it's almost over... Anyway, I p

100 Day Creativity Challenge (Days 15-21)

I realize I am a little delayed on these days, but I don't think I have that DAILY of a following. So I think I'm okay. Anyway, on to Day 15. For Day 15 I decided to break out the calligraphy set my husband gave me two birthdays ago. BEST GIFT EVER! It takes a lot of practice, and you have to go super slow.... not my forte. But once you get going it is amazingly easy. It makes you feel like using a quill back in the day with John Hancock. Or is it Herbie Hancock? The world will never know. #tommyboy Anyway, I was just messing around and writing letters, hope you enjoy my #DAY 15 Next, Day 16 I thought I'd give crocheting another go. I ended up using my entire thing of yarn, and it was only big enough to be a scarf (kind of going for a blanket, but the scarf is cute). I still haven't mastered it, and I need to do more research.... And of course PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE #swanprincess. #DAY16 Day 17, this was a busy day. I went to Denver for

100 Day Creativity Challenge (Days 8-14)

Hey Guys, I'm back- and trying to be even more creative than ever. I love hand lettering, and obviously it is what I think I am good at. But I am determined to be more "creative" in my creativity choices. So, for Day 8 I chose to learn to crochet. Sounds easier said than done, right? Well, you are correct. I was quite terrible. I first started with the chain, pretty easy. A little awkward at first, but then relatively easy. Then I had to move to the next level, that's when it got a little sloppy. But then I ended going up another 4 levels and it got better and better each time. Now I just need to learn something other than a single or double stitch.... What do you think of my #DAY8 ? Alright, moving on to Day 9. I thought I would mix my creativity up a little and make some delicious dessert. When it comes to desserts I usually stick with cookies, brownies, and ice cream. That's usually where I stay, and I enjoy it there- don't get me w
