I, Oakley Seal, have officially ordered my dance dress. Nothing seems to be official unless I blog it, and no, I will not tell you what dress I ordered. It should be here around a week. I have been working on my magazine purse and soda tab purse today, although not much.

Today was my first time going to the bowling alley for PE and I did not do well, I have to admidt. The first game I bowled a 63 and the second I bowled a 26, which was the worst score in the class. I am still proud of myself because they both beat my pitiful score of 13. I am excited to go again on Tuesday.

On another subject, my dog took off with my converse I have to wear for my first hip hop competition tomorrow and I have no idea where it is. I have been looking for it and am now very stressed about the shoe and the competition itself.

I find myself laughing at myself yet again for checking my dashboard to see if any of my favorite blogs have posted anything new today.

Think Pink?

Today I actually started to make my soda tab purse. I stopped very early because one- I was getting frustrated, and two- because I didnt know what color to use for my soda tab ties. I started doing pink, but I am now thinking about starting over and using black thread. What do you think?

I did not make this, but it is an example of what it would look like with black thread.
This is what the purse will look like when it is finished. Should I try pink? Should I switch to black?

I also decided to upload some of my fashion sketches for fun. Tell me what you think!

Here is my outfit!

I am not completely sure why, but I think of Michael Jackson when I wear this jacket. It makes me happy! I also love the studs on the pockets of these jeans!

Purse Projects

My recent craft projects involve purses. I have been spending the past few months saving soda tabs and folding paper for a magazine purse. My amazing great grandpa gave me soda tabs that he has been saving for who knows how long and who knows how many I actually have now. Today I spent the day washing the tabs. If you want to make a purse, trust me- you want to wash the soda tabs. I washed them in the sink and the water turned dark brown. I donated two hours of the day washing these things and would have spent a lot longer doing so if it werent for Avery and Mckenzie(my little cousin). They insisted it was fun. Here are some of my little projects!

Here is the bracelet I made out of candy wrappers. Unfortunately, my dog ate it.

These are the magazine rings that I will put together for my purse.

Here is my wallet. I need to buy a zipper for it when I get more money.

This is only HALF of my collection. I have more square and colored soda tabs that arent in this picture.

A Girls Best Friend

A girl's best friend really is her dog- that is, when said dog isnt eating your shoes or jewery. I dont know if anyone else has this problem, but Harley(my dog) eats and ruins all of my shoes and jewelry and it drives me crazy when I am in a hurry and cannot find the missing shoe. But I cant stay mad at her for long, because she really is a sweet dog. Sometimes.

Miss Me?

I am back! The funny thing is, I went to St. George to escape the snow. I knew it would be cold, but there wouldnt be snow, right? Wrong! My outfits consisted of hats and hoodies. Here is what I did:

My sister is making faces in the background of almost every picture. It drives her crazy how I take pictures everywhere I go.

See you next week

Tomorrow I am going to get checked out of school to go to St George for the weekend! I am just letting you know that I wont be posting for a few days. I will get back to you either Monday or Tuesday. I will try my best to document my weekend with the camera so I have something next time I post.

Today after school I went to the dress rehearsal of Seussical the Musical. I recomend seeing it because it really is good. It opens tomorrow. Well, until next time!

I Heart You

Happy late Valentine's Day! I hope it was good. I just have to say right now that I have gotten so many compliments on the key to my heart necklace and I wanted to thank everyone for reading my blog also! Tonight was the ettiquette dinner and instead of showing you a picture of what I wore to school because my camera is dead, I will show you a picture of the outfit I wore to said ettiquette dinner.

Good day

Today I was gone for most of the day. I visited my great grandparents first. My wonderful Grandpa Kingdon gave me more soda tabs than I can count, which is what I need because Im making a purse out of them! I then visited my Grandparents and my wonderful Uncle Matt! We went to Hobby Lobby too.

While I was waiting for my mom to get ready, I played with my camera.

I am fond of this picture mostly because in a large version, my eyes kind of look like a manga character.

It Is Here!

I walked home from my bus stop today and saw not one-but two packages on my front door. The first I noticed, was a package from my grandma and grandpa. The second was the necklace I have been waiting somewhat around three weeks for! I tore open the box holding my necklace (actually two necklaces) and put it on. I waited for my sister to come home so I could open the one from my grandparents. There was a card for each of us, suckers, stickers, and marshmallows and chocolate. I love getting packages from them! Thank you Nan and Papa!

I also took pictures of my necklace on me. But you only get to see one without my face in it. Remember how I mentioned I bought Proactive? It is working, the only problem is- my face is peeling and my skin is super dry! It does not photograph well.

We Are Who We Are

Guess what? Im crazy. Thats just who I am. I dont know what came over me, but, today I just realized that I do not care about what people say.I love my hamburger phone. It is just so fun! The first time it rang, I was so excited, I answered the phone and did a giddy scream sort of thing... after realizing I did that with someone else on the line, I just hung up.

Life should just be about having fun, so that is what Im going to do.

I also took advantage of my room being clean, and decided to give you a quick tour!

My room is black, white, and pink. We are slowly adding to it. I need to paint my furniture and walls.

And, of course, my closet. It is so chaotic and messy!
