creative stuff

[chestnutcurls]

I meant to tell yesterday that I got dakoda's A.J. Colby video in the mail the other day! I haven't finished watching it yet (there is a lot of stuff on it!), but I support the claim that he is cute and endearing. And come on- am I going to dislike a meteorologist? :) I really enjoyed the silly news clips, too. We need a channel like that! Thanks, Cloey! :)

For Christmas, Kathy made quilt pillows for everyone. She worked incredibly hard, and this was the result. Don't they look great? :) Also, my mother requested that I calligraphy the Ten Commandments for her to hang in the house. After gathering ideas, I ended up with this. I sort of cheated on the lettering, but I was happy with the layout, so I wanted everyone to see. :)

Last night I had a sudden creative fit and decided to make a My Life 2002 CD, much like Jenn did. I am very happy with the way it turned out. If you would like a copy of this CD, which includes great music and will have cover art done by me, let me know! :)

I will probably post more than usual today, as things keep coming to mind.

so what does your CD have on it?

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Songs that have affected me this year, many of which I have talked about here. U2, Caedmon's Call, Ingram Hill, etc. I don't want to post a tracklist, because I think it's more fun for it to be a surprise. :)

I agree! but what a wonderful idea. *starts putting together a list* thanks!

[tingilya.livejournal.com]

Cute icon! Hee. Your project looks lovely, and tell Kathy the pillows look great! Did she really quilt everything, or was it pre-quilted fabric? I saw some quilted fabric last night and want pillows badly, but I have no use for them. Being a crafty girl is a curse sometimes!

BTW, you might like craftgrrl. Lots of cute, wacky stuff is posted there, and some of it can be pretty inspiring or just plain fun. Check it out. :-)

Thanks! :) She did the whole thing from scratch. It took weeks. I'm very proud of her.

Ooo, I love it! I joined! :) Thanks for telling me about it.

Love the pillows, love the userpic, love it all. :)

(I'm so cool)

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Yes, you are! Hear ye, hear ye, Jessica is the coolest! :)

[moredetails.livejournal.com]

:P I was being sarcastic

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

And I was being serious. :)

Hey, the quilt pillows look great. And the calligraphy looks awesome too!

My Life 2002, eh? Sounds like a cool project, and probably quite therapeutic as well!

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Yes, it really was therapeutic. I was listening to it, and felt that I have progressed a little over the year. Which is always encouraging. :) Let me know if you want a copy!

[salemgirl.livejournal.com]

I think I'd like a copy, actually! I think I need to put together one of my own as well...

[dakoda.livejournal.com]

I'm glad it got there safely!
I'm sorry that a lot of the stuff on the tape is poor quality, I couldn't get it to record nicely!
And I also meant to say that I was able to put Late One Night and The Moment After on the tape, so those are all the way at the end if you ever wanna watch them:)

And as following the flow of comments you already have, nice pillows, and I Love that icon! lol

btw, what is this My Life 2002 thing? It sounds really interesting.

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I noticed the tape was really long! I thought I remembered that there was other stuff on it, but I haven't even gotten to the end of the A.J. stuff! I like it, though. :)

I made a CD of the main songs that have spoken to me this year. You know, the kind that you hear it and you're like, "Oh my gosh, this is my life." :) Also, a few of them are some of my favorite songs ever, so I feel that the whole world should hear them. :)

[dakoda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there's a ton of A.J. stuff on there lol
I can't wait for you to watch my brother's LOTR thing, it's so stupid it's hilarious, I'm kinda fixin' to watch it myself right about now lol "You're crushing my spleen!!!" heehee.

Ooooh, that sounds totally cool! I hope you don't mind, but I'm taking that idea and I'm going to make one for myself!
I'd Love to hear yours:D

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Yaaay! Someone wants my CD! :) Just so you know, there are only a few Christian songs on it, but none of the others are questionable. Some are loud, maybe, but not questionable. :)

Yes, make one! I stole the idea from my friend Jenn, so I wasn't the one who thought of it anyway. :) LOL.

[dakoda.livejournal.com]

Ohhh yes! Idea stealing, the deviousness of it all!!

I'll send you mine when I finish it, too. Even if you didn't ask for it LoL ;)

[nova-wylde.livejournal.com]

The pillows look great and so does the calligraphy thingy! :)

[nova-wylde.livejournal.com]

Oh, by the way, I'd like a copy of your CD as well. :)

woo
