Thank you everyone!
Thank you for reading A Creative Adventure, I appreciate it! I have really enjoyed it but... it's time to move on.
No worries! I'm still blogging! Just at a different URL... you can find me here. It's called "One Glass of OJ" and yeah! That's where I'll be for however long!
Thank you again and I hope to see you on my new blog!

In A Funk
Well, I have been in a little bit of a funk.
I don't know why. Well actually I kind of do.
But that's why I haven't been blogging. I keep making excuses about why I haven't been blogging, haven't I?
I need to have a serious talk with myself.
About blogging.
I have serious talks with myself.
Is that weird?
I don't talk to myself out loud.
Okay, I did like once.
But I was really upset.
And had no one to talk to.
Don't judge me.
Is it annoying that I do this? Type a sentence, then go to the next line? Hmm...
Oh well:)
I smile a lot. Like... A LOT. People point it out. I was explaining how I got grounded and people would say "Why are you smiling?" More than once.
I'm a smiler. I smile.
And I have many a story to go with that. And maybe one day I'll share.
But, as for now, I need to go and write some crafting posts. Or do some actually crafting. Be productive. Go out and do things that don't involve Pinterest.
Who am I kidding, Pinterest is amazing and I'm obsessed. But I admit that I'm obsessed.
Yeah...
This post was kind of pointless.
Okay super pointless.
I need a kick in the butt to get back into blogging!
I kicked myself in the butt today (while running- I was being a dork as usual)
Yeah...
I know! I must go do a Photo Friday post!
Goodbye fellow blog readers!

Happy {Late} New Year
Darn it.
I started the new year with no blog post! But that's okay because I've been busy-ish!
But anyway- HAPPY NEW YEAR!
It's 2013... it's such a weird number.
Anyway, what are some things you would like to do in the new year? Do you have any resolutions set? Do you have a word for 2013?
I have all three! And now I shall share them with you- because it's my blog and I can do that:)
Word for 2013: Perfection.
I know, I know. I can't be perfect. At anything. But that's okay because I know I'll fail. Is it bad that I know I'm going to fail? Well I don't always handle failure well and it's a large fear of mine, so by accepting that I will fail and by still trying, I think I may be come slightly less imperfect but still imperfect all the same. Does that make any sense whatsoever?
Resolution for 2013: To be the best me I can be.
To be the best me. Girls, especially teenage girls, struggle with their identity- physically and eternally. We always want to be prettier or kinder or more attractive or whatever! And we're never completely happy with ourselves. But I want to be happy with myself and in order to do that I'll have to be the best that I can be. Not someone else's best, my best.
Goals for 2013: Bathe more (like take a bath- not shower more haha), always have clean nails, show a smile to everyone, compliment three people a day, exercise three times a week, blog three times a week, learn something new everyday, make two things a week (one baked, one not), and just be awesome.
Well, those are my hopes for 2013. I'm also starting a savings jar (my friend Mandi made it for me- it's pretty sweet) and another jar (you can find it here) Can you tell my jar obsession? I've had people comment on the random jars I have around my room... I like jars okay? They're awesome.
I'd like to hear your hopes or goals or resolutions or words for 2013!

PS I also want to take a picture every day:)

A Creative Adventure... Stupid Decisions
Everyone makes stupid decisions in high school, right?
And everyone gets a bad haircut, right?
And a lot of people have at one time attempted to do something with their hair- like cut or dye it, right?
Well what if you make a stupid decision in high school... that gets you a bad haircut... and involves cutting your hair.
Oopsie.
Ya see, I have a story.
There was once a girl who had dreamed of having sideways (or side-swept) bangs. Well she was also very impatient. And finally she decided she wanted some. And she wanted them now. She talked to a friend who cut her own hair, she looked up videos on YouTube, she got some hair-cutting scissors, and went up to her bathroom and her chopped her hair up in order to achieve those gorgeous sideways bangs.
Well that girl was not very good at cutting her hair. And it turned out crappy. Super super crappy. And her parents were upset.
So the next day she paid to have bangs fixed ($5!) and they look okay now... she's trying to get used to them but they're pretty annoying. And not quite what she wanted because she cut too much off and too big a chunk.
Oopsie.
She texted pictures and posted one on Facebook and got several positive comments but she still doesn't quite like them.
What are you going to do?
Wait until they grow out and use a bunch of hair growth treatments!
Oh yeah- that girl was me.
Oopsie.
Well that's my story that I felt like sharing!

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!
Now, go eat lots of chocolate and admire your presents and spend lots of time with family and friends and don't forget to thank God for His wonderful gift to us!

Photo Friday

| It's a chinchilla! |
 |
| This is a DVD of the play I was in! |
 |
| My friend made these for a Christmas party that I must post pictures of! |
 |
| I fell into a burr bush. |
 |
| A Christmas book! |
 |
| This is how I entertained myself in a detox bath... is it weird I take pictures while in my bathtub? |
 |
| I drew an amazing heart. And I am a terrible drawer. |
 |
| We are looking at adopting a cat! |
