21 Things- Thing 12

12. I love art, crafting, design you name it!

Art- I have been drawing since I was three years old when I drew a picture of my grandpa (which my mom still has). I really enjoy drawing and painting and have really improved throughout the years. My biggest strength is drawing images and I've taught myself how to draw people better. I've been working with watercolors even more and I'm trying to find my style.

Crafting- I love taking things and creating my own style with them like this Owl Candle. It so fun to create things and  it takes my mind off other things when I'm crafting!

Design- When it comes to design my favorites are a toss up between interior and web design with fashion making it a close three way tie. I'm not an expert web designer but I like doing stuff myself and do the best with what I have. I really love interior design and was going for that in high school but had a change of plans. My interior design taste have really evolved since high school. I do have to admit sometimes my ideas aren't great and when they aren't complete (i.e the photo wall) I tend to change my mind. Though it usually ends up even better in the end.

Fashion- I loved playing dress up and creating crazy outfits when I was younger but I didn't really get into fashion personally until much later. As a teen I loved Teen Vogue and had created some cute outfits but it wasn't a daily thing more of when I felt like it. My senior year I did try a little more but in college I had to dress casual business. So I really got into creating outfits that were cute and professional while on a budget. I generally wear what I feel like along with the style I like either it be in fashion or last season.

21 Things- Thing 11

11. I hate spiders 

When we first moved into the apartment I noticed these huge spiders trying to sneak around the corner and they scared the crap out of me. I'll see them occasionally but it doesn't make me feel any better when I do see them. I don't like spiders in the house..outside they can do whatever they please but when they're in my house they're in my territory!

21 Things- Thing 10

This thing is a little embarrassing but I'm probably not the only one that has done it.

10. I over-plucked my eyebrows as a teen.

I had people tell me I shouldn't over pluck them but I didn't care I was into styles of the 1920's and thought it was so vintage to have them thin and arched. Now as you can see I was so wrong.

I finally got my act straight and have these beautiful arches :)

21 Things- Thing 9

9. I wear fake glasses

Before it was all the rage in fashion magazines I wore fake glasses. My mom had a pair and gave them to me when I was 13 and I've been wearing them ever since. I have a nice little collection of them and they're one of  my big go-to accessories.

21 Things- Thing 8

8. I love short hair!

My hair was super long as a kid and I got it cut for real (not just trimmed) when I was six. Through the years I've let it grow out but for the most part I love it when it's short. Recently I let it grow out long enough to donate and sent it to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. Here are some of the different styles of short hair I've had.

Curly and short when I was 17

Sorry for this...

I'm sorry but there will be no Obsession Wednesday today due to...life. I started putting together the treadmill we bought and it's really wearing me down. Plus someone needed me to work for them tonight so I'm taking a break from the  treadmill so I don't wear myself down before work. I also have clothes in the wash and this mess in the living room. I'm so sorry about this and will have one for sure next week. My 21 Things post will  continue tonight because I queued a few the other day, why I didn't queue a OBW? Mostly because I figured I had plenty of time to do it today. Again I apologize for not have the post this week.

21 Things- Thing 7

7. I love coffee.

 I've always been a fan of coffee even when I was younger; though it was mostly milk and hardly coffee it was a "grown up" drink. When my friends and I would hang out we'd go to the local coffee shop and later in years we'd head over to the Waffle House for cheap coffee. Now I don't drink it like crazy (I don't want to get worn out on it) but it's really something I enjoy and brings me comfort.

21 Things- Thing 6

6. I use to design layouts.

Yep when Myspace was still popular I had a layout design page called Atomic Layouts. Now I didn't have any fancy photoshop so I used the paint program to make backgrounds. I got a couple of people to use my designs and I learned a lot from doing this little hobby. I did have Photoshop (this is after the layout designs) but it got erased and I really wish I had it back again. Until then I'll use my odd but useful method to edit my images.

21 Things- Thing 4 & 5

I didn't forget about 21 Things I just wanted to find some pictures to put up here. I'm combining Things 4 and 5 together in one post so here it goes.

4. I don't like pink.

I didn't like wearing pink when I was younger and still not too fond of it. Even when the pink Power Ranger had brown hair like me I would always play the yellow one because I didn't like pink. I don't know why I didn't go for pink things I just didn't. Now I do wear pink here and there but it isn't my first color of choice. I think I own a total three pink shirts but I prefer patterns, teals, reds and yellows.

5. I had braces 

I had braces when I was nine years old. Luckily I only had to wear them for a little over a year and had them taken off right at the start of my 5th grade year. Though they were a pain at times I'm glad I got them and I'm proud of my pearly whites!
