Day 19: A picture and a letter

So... I'm going to take a little bit of creative liberty here and NOT write a letter, which I think is what is expected. Instead I'm going to put a picture of letters (like from the alphabet) that I took. I think that's way more fun anyways!

These are presents that I made for some of my family members for Christmas. I had so much fun making these, taking a camera out and looking for objects that could resemble the letter I needed. In case you were wondering what each letter is I'll explain below:

Day 5: A picture of your favorite memory

You do know that it's impossible to have ONE favorite memory right?

 

I wouldn't go as far as saying that this is my favorite memory but it's just one of those that was the icing on the cake you know?

This is a picture of my friend Korbi and I. I met Korbi in January 2010 on the bus to March 4 Life where we learned that we actually had 2 art classes together! My first memory with her was getting her killed in the game Mafia haha! We became instant friends, two peas in a pod, it was almost freaky. Within a month or two our classmates were asking us if we went to high school together, honestly we barely knew each other!

This particular picture above is of the day that we tested our final design project. We made a kite, and not only did we make a kite but we made a Korbassi! (It's looked like a caterpillar!) It was the most beautiful majestic kite ever known to man(haha maybe not but we were really proud of it)! Our teacher told us that we'd get extra credit if we dressed up for our project so we dawned our bright colors and butterfly wings and hit the field!

A picture of Korbassi!

It's been a little over a year since I met Korbs and I wish I could say that our relationship was as good as it used to be. At the end of my freshman year we couldn't fathom the thought of leaving each other for a whole summer. How would we survive? Something happened over the summer, I'm not sure what, and I'm not saying it's good or bad, but our friendship isn't the same.
I love this girl, last year she was my best friend. I'd love that back. She has such a beautiful soul, an infectious smile and a way of making everyone in the room with her love God that much more. I've been making our friendship a part of my prayers, having faith that God has a plan for us more beautiful that I've ever imagined.

Just for fun I've decided to add another picture of us!

My Photographic Creativity

I'm fully aware that Christmas was over a month ago, but I couldn't help but share these pictures with you! This past year both my sister and oldest brother got married which is very exciting! Being in college and all, money isn't the easiest thing to come by so I decided to get creative and MAKE their Christmas presents this year.

I borrowed my best friend Brea (and her really nice camera) and hit the town running. We took pictures of EVERYTHING and ANYTHING that resembled a letter. I had so much fun spending the day with her and getting to be creative. It's amazing what you can accomplish with a lofty idea and the gumption to do something about it!

Take a look at the end results:
