-DIY: You + Me

In an earlier post, I talked about my crafting fever and all my Hobby Lobby steals! Today, I'm showing you all a little bit of what I've done so far and what I plan to do to finish it.

This is what I started with. I found these puzzle pieces at Hobby Lobby for $4.99, quite a steal considering there were two of them in each package. Each piece is designed to fit perfectly with the other piece in the package, making the perfect addition to my (link: Christmas Basket) for B.

My first large decision on these was what to do with them color wise. I had a few idea floating around in my head. Whether to make them blue, his favorite, or do some sort of pattern.

Ultimately, I decided on painting each puzzle piece solid black.

This gave me the ability to take these puzzle pieces on step further and add some personalization on each individual piece!

I decided to make the theme of these pieces, You + Me. How creative, right? I decided that instead of doing a typical you + me theme, I would instead doodle different things that represent us onto each piece.

This is the puzzle piece that represents him:

Mine's a work in progress!

I'm still trying to figure out the best way to tie them both together, I'm thinking about a common word/ doodle across the place where they fit together.

Who knows.

Has anyone else attempted a puzzle piece creation before? If so, how did it turn out?!

-Confessions

I'll be the first to admit that I'm horrible at keeping up with this blog! It's not for lack of caring, I promise. It's just...

I'm a procrastinator.

Okay, it's out! I'm a procrastinator and I'm (almost) proud. You see, usually, I am fantastic about waiting until the last minute and still getting stuff done: i.e. school, work, presents, birthdays, going somewhere, etc. Although I'm notoriously late to everything, I do work and I do it well. 

But this, well this is a whole other battle. 

I'm not sure why it's so hard for me to plan out my writing, but I just can't. Hard as I try, I prefer to write on the fly posts versus q' them and have them set out weeks in advance.

I'd rather tell you on the dime what my life is like, than pretend like it's organized and perfect every.single.second.

Because, guys, my life is not perfect. I'm insanely busy. I know, I know, we all are. But I have horrible time management skills because I'm somewhat of a perfectionist. I'd rather leave somewhere late and get somewhere late than leave something half-done. 

It's a little bit of a problem.

So, on that note, I have to run and finish a speech before class!

Anyone else out there a recovering procrastinator? (;
