Writers Block

So these last few days I have been scraping my brain for anything to blog about. I guess I've got a bit of writers block. This last few weeks have been pretty hectic. OH ~~ yeah... So about my washing hands thing... I am pretty sure I jinxed myself because I got sick the next day!! and I have still felt sick to my stomache on and off since last week. I have no clue why I have been feeling this way but I have a feeling that it is because everyone in town has been sick. So I started writing this 50 minutes ago and still haven't gotten any further.... Okay, I was working, BUT I am going to decorate the christmas tree. This weekend we will be doing our hot dogs, donuts, and hot chocolate at the light parade... Here is a question How you do spell donuts? Because I got a talkin to about not spelling it as Doughnuts. Tell me how you spell it?

Christmas wreath

Okay so I may have been infected with the christmas stuff already and its not even thanksgiving yet !!!

Here is how you make this wreath, I found everything but the tulle at the dollar store. If you go there now or before thanksgiving you will probably find everything that you need and want at a great price :] I even found the wreath hanger at the dollar store and it is just as sturdy as the ones at walmart and kmart.

First stores do have other materials to make a wreath, but sadly I couldn't find any, Last week the dollar store had some wooden ones that were decent size and wooden I knew I should have grabbed it, this kind works just as well though. Its got plastic behind the shiny stuff. And if you do find a wreath, be sure to get one that is plastic, and to make sure its not the kind for floral items. It can't be the styrofoam.

You will need tulle, you can choose how long you want yours, I used about 12 inches per piece, you can go smaller but the smaller you go the harder it is to tie. And you can always cut some off after you tied it on. You will need about 25 to 50 pieces just depends on how close you want them. I find that it spreads out after Its tied on so it makes it fluffy.

Next you want to take each piece and tie it in one knot around the wreath for each piece. This is time consuming so be sure to start a movie and watch while you tie. Be sure to do this all the way around the wreath until it is completely done.

It should look like this after you have tied the tulle all the way around the wreath. You can leave it just like this, Or you can get out the ornaments and add more which is what I will show you below.

Next you want to take your "Merry Christmas" if you choose, and line it up where you want. This just avoids putting your hot glue in random places. I then took the sign off and glued only where I need it.

I then took the little ornaments, and jingle bells and arranged them where I wanted and placed glue there as well.

Then be sure to hang it up on the door so people can enjoy! 

In total I spend about $4.00 on the 1 wreath, 10 ornaments, 6 jingle bells, 1 "Merry Christmas" sign, the tulle I had left over from our wedding so I put them to go use. The ornaments came in a package of 10, So I can still use them for other items. Enjoy!

Thankful Days

 I am thankful for being born. and love my parents like no other! they mean the world to me. (I am a noob, i haven't played before) 
   
Me and my mom when I was about 3                             Me and my dad when I was about 3

Body Products

Okay So I was going through my pictures and found this picture.....

I feel that I might be obsessed with bath and body, and victoria secrets products!! This actually looks bare to me... I have a lot more in there now. and that day when I moved them, they went from the hallway closet to the bathroom. I still have tons in the closet that wouldn't fit in here. And several more that I have bought since I posted that picture in April. So 6 months ago. I think I need to use most of this before I start buying more lol. and the sanitizer, in this picture there is atleast one extra behind. I guess its a hit and miss. I did find this purfume at Victoria Secrets that i absolutly loved. Its called sexy little things, love rocks. That was my favorite. Then they discontinued it. I knew that when they had them marked down to only $2.50 that day that I should have bought a whole bunch more. But I didn't. In the picture you can see a red square looking bottle on the middle shelf to the left. That one is called very sexy perfume but I feel that half a spray is way good enough. If you over spray this one at all you have a big stinky mess on your hands lol. And another one I bought from Bath and body for a good price the sprayer won't spray. And i am sad about it...

New blogger style :]

Just a quick update that I changed things around, my url is now 370 south blog . Its still me here though :]

Pretty Little Liars, who is A?

SPOILER, If you haven't seen up to tonights episode.

So last night I was still awake around 11:30 so I started looking through my DVR and seen that a Pretty Little Liars Halloween episode recorded. I had watched this on Netflix in March. So I already seen it but decided to watch it again to see if there is any links or clues to what they will play in the newest one. The one from last year is basically back flashes when Alison was still alive, and was the last Halloween they had together in 2008. 

This episode is called "The First Secret" and was featured in October 2011. I gathered some notes from this episode and knowledge I already know from the show. It all seems like its following the books in this episode only. Here is why.

The books talk about Alison having a twin sister. At the beginning of this episode it shows that there is two twin sisters, one is mean and one is nice. The mean one stabs the nice one in the chest. Alison is telling this like it is a scary story to a kid that Hanna is baby sitting. (sounds similar to the books)

When they are in the Halloween store there is a lot of the zombie baby masks. I have no idea what they are really called. so I am going to just write it as "zombie baby masks" lol. They showed these in the 2011 episode along with the 2012 episode. i think one gets Spencer on the A train. But since its just a preview I don't really know what happens.

Ali sees Jenna looking at the Lady Gaga costumes. She goes up to her & finds out that Jenna is invited to Noel’s party even though she’s new. Ali tells her she’s going as Lady G. Ali says, “Maybe I’ll see you there.” Jenna says, “I know who you’ll be.” Alison replies, “And you’ll surprise me.” (Foreshadowing??) Then Ali tells Jenna her name & Jenna says, “I know.” 
After talking to Jenna Ali receives a blocked ID message in the halloween store. The two people she seen were Jenna and Noel. (who happen to be involved later)

• Ali is writing in her diary. In her room you can see a plaque on the wall it’s in another language, “C’est le double du rire et de doubler le sourire et double la peine si vous êtes bénis avec des jumeaux.” but other sources (prettylittlesecrethints.tumblr.com) have translated it to, “It’s double the giggles and double the grins, and double the trouble if you’re blessed with twins.“ In the books her twin sisters name is Courntey.
• You can also see a picture frame, the 1st photo is Ali facing left, the 2nd photo is Jason and the 3rd photo is Ali again facing right.
• 

^^ When Jason came into her room to give her a package Alison asked what kind of movie they were making. and Jason replied with "If I told you i'd have to kill ya."

These below weren't shown until it is reveiled that Mona is A in the second season. when Spencer is reading Alisons Diary. So some of this she was writing ^^ that day. 

• Ali’s diary entries.

1. “Sat. Oct. 25 I just found out there is gong to be a Halloween Party at Noel’s this year. maybe I should start thinking ahead of something fun to do with the girls. I of course have to be careful of Spencer. She is always the smarter of all of us. If I thiknof something really good, she can’t ind out what I am up to.”
2. “Sat. Oct. 26 I spent the day shopping & I bought the most adorable new dress! They had several pairs of shoes that I could have bought but I found the perfect pair at the last store I went into. Everyone at school is going to be so jealous of me-if they are not already! Just wait until I spend the day next week shopping with my mom-I will be getting in all the newest trends from all the best stores. It is going to be so much fun rubbing it in everyone’s faces! 
3. (As Spencer turns the page.)  Wed. Oct. 29 There’s a new girl in town. I ran into her at the costume shop, Jenna. She was looking for a wig, attempting to be Gaga, not on my watch. She interests me. Good or bad? She already knew who I was, which isn’t surprising. Somehow she scored an invite to Noel Kahn’s party. I’ll have to keep an eye on her. My plans to get Hefty Hanna to shave her had failed miserably. Spencer stepped in to defend Hanna, not _____ that’s why I picked _____ bright side I ______.”
4. “Oct 30 Aria’s dad is cheating on her mom! I love it! I mean, it sucks for Aria but I’m a sucker for drama. There’s no way Aria tells her mom though. Mr. Montgomery will talk her out of it, I just know it! She doesn’t have the courage to stand up to ____ that’s why I picked ____. _____ know Mr. Montgomery ____ there. Note to self:_____ this. He owes me _____ ______. What can I get _____ ______. He’s cute but old _____….” Some of it I couldn't make out.

The doll has a red heart & made of brown sack material. A red pin holds a note, “It’s my turn to torture you.” She takes the note & shoves it in the back of the dolls head. This doll is blonde wearing white & pink. She puts the doll back in a box in the vent. 

Mellisa and Ian are going as Bonnie and Clyde for halloween. Outlaws, robbers and criminals??

When Hannas mom gets a ride home from the cop, it happens to be the same cop years later that she really sleeps with and then he tries to black mail her. The same cop later in the episode says "people are unpredictable"

Mona comes up to their lunch table. Ali says, “If you ignore it, it will go away.” Mona walks off and sits at a table where Lucas is sitting. Mona and Lucas were bullied all the time by Alison. That is a reason for them to be A, but mona is already on the A team. but is Lucas?
When Alison and Spencer are talking about Melissa Ali says "The big sister act is just that an act." 

After Ali teases Lucas at the school Lucas says "one day she'll get whats coming to her."

While the girls get ready for the halloween party, One of them notices the Zombie Baby masked person outside the window.

Aria tells Ali that her mom doesn’t know about her fathers affair. Ali says she knew Byron would talk her out of it. She says she doesn’t want to go to the party and Ali says she had to score Aria that invite and it wasn’t easy and that she has keep this secret from the other girls. Then she threatens Aria by saying she will tell the girls.

Costumes

1. Ali-Lady Gaga
2. Aria-witch
3. Emily-Indian
4. Hanna-Britney Spears
5. Spencer-Mary, Queen of Scots (in case its important-She was born to be queen but her cousin stole the throne, then she was accused of treason & her family had her executed.)

Jenna, “she gets what she wants”

• Jenna shows up as Lady Gaga after all.
• Ali approaches Jenna, “I can make it really easy for you to fit in here. If I accept you, everybody does.” Ali even offers to let Jenna be a part of their group. Jenna says, “I like to pick my own friends.” 

Mona in disguise

• Mona dressed up as cat women walks up to Ali. Ali doesn’t recognize her, “Do I know you?” Mona says, “No but you will.” Mona was also over where Jenna was. Were they talking?
• Mona comes up to Jenna. “Your definitely the best Gaga.” Jenna replies, “Better not tell Alison that.” Mona says, “She doesn’t scare me.”

Emily likes to kiss girls.

• Emily checks out Jenna. Jenna smiles back at her. Ali walks over & says to Emily, “Were you wishing you could taste her cherry chapstick?”  

The Prank

• The girls get a text from Ali, “I’m in trouble come alone.”
• The address is 313 Mockingbird. Another reference to To Kill A Mockingbird
• They go back to the creepy house. They go in & someone in the zombie/baby costume walks past them twice. They find Ali & she claims that someone is inside the house & that they are in danger.  The girls have no cell reception so Ali goes out to the hall & the girls watch her being pushed & stabbed. 
• After the girls have escaped, they come back inside and find Ali sitting in a rocking chair holding a knife…a knife that looks just like the one from the twin story.  She laughs at them, says it was a prank & they passed a friendship text because they cam back for her. She tells them the zombie/baby was Noel.  

Back at the party

• They go back to the party, there are lots of people in the zombie/baby costume.
• Wilden is even there and he’s flirting with Jenna. Why is he even there?
• Someone in a zombie costume runs by Ali & calls her a bitch. Its Lucas!

The Kicker

• Noel comes running up to Ali. She tells him he did such a good job scarring the girls but he has no idea what shes talking about, he got held up at the party and it wasn’t him!!

The First ‘A’ text!

• Ali gets the first official A text. “Dying to know who I am? You’ll find out.-A” The girls want to know who it is but she says its a secret. The first secret! 

Who is the zombie/baby?

• We see atleast 6 up close people in zombie/baby costumes. A team members?
• One of the Zombie/baby costumes is Lucas, one of them is Noel for sure.
• Then we see one zombie/baby take off the mask but we can’t see the person. Did Ali see? 

I feel that this is linked to the 2012 episode that will show tonight. I remember seeing the same creepy face^ grabbing Spencer. and if Lucas showed his face last year taking the mask off. I am wondering if he is the one that will die. They won't kill off any of the main characters as far as the 4 liars. But also in the preview it shows that there is a girl with long blonde hair, and one of the partial see through masks. I am wondering if it is Alison. In the books it states that Alison had a twin sister. and the whole death of Alison, was a fake. And that her twin sister had really been murdered. How else would the A team know every little secret. Unless Ali wrote this all in her journal. But above with the picture in her room, with twin girls, and Jason. along with the note. The producers are sending the message that there is a twin sister. I am betting the person who dies tonight is Lucas. and I am pretty sure the twin who will be Ali is coming back as Ali's sister Courtney, So Ali can still play her tricks and pretend to be someone else. She loved doing that. Also I think it is between Garrett and Lucas. Everything on Garretts real name Yoni, shows he is done in pretty little liars as of 2012. so i think he dies

Halloweeen Decorations!!

Okay so I couldn't even wait til tomorrow to post these pictures!! And I will take some more detailed pictures tomorrow, because I know some of these have a glare from me taking the pictures through the window. AND to make it even better, Almost everything in these pictures is stuff I found at the dollars store!! I love the dollar store! They have more of a decoration selection than I could find at walmart. I didn't see hardly anything at walmart on friday.

So the things I didn't get from the dollar store in this printable potions on the bottles I used for the witches den, and the bottles i saved and used, some of them were beers that sat in a fridge for the last two years. So i dumped them out and stripped them of the labels.

 So this pictures isnt the best, I will add more tomorrow, but this is the haunted village, I bought these houses from the dollar tree, spray painted them black, and painted some purple glitter on the roofs, then added some cob web, and at the dollar tree they have these center pieces, I found a tree and thought it would look good in the middle of the village. Total cost: 10.00.

5 village houses; 5.00

Tree center piece: 1.00

Cob webs: 1.00

Black cloth under village: 1.00

Black spray paint: 1.00

Purple glitter paint 1.00

This is my witches den!! I had soooo much fun decorating, and just to make the record, I have been finding different potion bottle labels for about 3 months now. Because I love halloween so much! I basically found some, made some, mixed and matched.  

Candles, 2.00

Vase, two other glass containers 3.00

book, printed and painted with left over spray paint from village.

Bottles I saved and decorated with potion labels.

Center piece looks like candles 1.00

Black mesh underneith decorations 1.00

Black crow 1.00

all of the silhouttes for both windows, 3.00

Total: 11-15 for this decoration

This is the spell book I made, that just sits there un opened.

 Not the best picture but It shows they are kind of dark

 Another view of the witches den

On the spell book, I found an old bigger book, and spray painted the end of the pages black then decorated one side. and propped it up so people can see.

 I Also got a vase, an two other sizes of glass containers, spray painted them black, and painted over with purple glitter. Then put a label on them and call it good. I am excited to see peoples reactions. 

 The picture up top is before I did this. Two of the houses are being raised on candle holders i found at the dollar tree. 

 This is what I put on the walls by the side of the windows, They have silhouttes at the dollar tree and this is what i did. Picured is bats, mice, and owls.

 I found this idea somewhere on the internet. You take white candles, and melt red ones over the top. It is messy, and i shouldn't of kept them in the candle holder. Because now they have wax on them. But i feel it gives it more effect.

Overall total for all of the decorations was about 25-30. But some of the things I bought I also used at my house. I didn't want to make my office look to decorated. or overly decorated. I hope you all enjoyed!! Be sure to follow my blog!! 

Here are the updated pictures!!
