A Day at the Lake

Yesterday, I spent the day at Pine Lake with my friend Lily who you've also seen before in my Birdcage Bindings photo shoot! Pine Lake was like this mini-water park, it had slides, a racer, a zip-line and so many other cool things! The zip-line and the racer was definitely my favorite part of it!

I never knew you could get a hair tan line until yesterday when I came home and realized I'd gotten a bit sun burnt haha whoops! I also learned that I freckle! haha now I have freckles on my arms and back and some on my face...another whoops! A day has passed, my arms are sore and my burns turned into tan (thank goodness for having skin that doesn't peel) and I'm super exhausted...but it was all worth it to have such an amazing day!

Sadly since I was in the water the whole time I didn't really get that many photos to show you guys how awesome place it was :P But here are some of the photos of that day :)

On our way to the lake!

Cute sign at the lake

A chicken that they had and friends!

My burns from yesterday! Can you see the hair tan line I got?! Haha!

I hope you guys have a great Sunday!

Oh.My.Gosh! A week from today I'll be in Seattle, Washington :D Packing time!

Travel Jitters

In about 8 days I will be in Seattle, Washington! Ever since summer started I'be been so excited for this trip! Being so overly involved with theatre I was never able to go anywhere during summer break so this is my first time getting to go to an actual vacation :D

I've been planning out what I'm going to pack and wear for my travel and I've been looking online for different places that I could potentially visit! I'm not sure how I can keep myself from exploding this next week leading up because I'm just so excited and I want to be in Seattle already! It's going to be two weeks of wonderful!

So...to hold off my travel jitters I've decided to bombard you with pictures of some of the things in Seattle that I'm super excited for! Also, if you all have any suggestions of places to visit I'd love to know!

 Visit the Center on Contemporary Art

 Go to all the different beaches

 Eat at the Space Needle

 Drink at the Original Starbucks Coffee Shop

Walk around and possibly buy from the Pike Place Market

Have a great day everyone!!!

First Day of Summer! + a winner!

Or was that yesterday? Hmm I don't know but I'm use to it being on the 21st so I'm going to say it's today haha :) anyways, today has been a very busy and very fun day! So, this was my day in photos :)

1-2: Woke up bright and early and spent the morning outside reading blogs and watching the bees, chipmunks, and squirrels playing in my back yard :) There's actually a bee in that flower but it's kind of hard to see it.
3-4: Went to Starbucks to get my favorite Passion Fruit Tea Lemonade and my brother told me to ask for the Trenta which is the biggest size that I thought was only sold in certain areas of the U.S. I guess I was wrong! So I drank about 30oz. of Passion Fruit Tea Lemonade...it was crazy! I can't believe they sell it here! Super happy about that finding!
5-6: My brother and I then went to Handel's ice cream store and I got s'mores ice cream! It was sooo delicious!!! :D I could barely finish one scoop though haha
7-8: I finally got around to taking my drivers test for a learner's permit and I passed!!! Being only 5 feet tall I was curious to see how much I would have to adjust the seat to see...I had to adjust it a lot haha short people problems :P But I'm really excited to drive now!

And as promised...the winner of my first ever giveaway is!!! *drum roll*

Maira and Diana

Congrats! Please e-mail me so we can work out details!

And stay tuned for my next giveaway everyone :)

I hope everyone has had a great day!!!

Blogger Spotlight: Just Another Art Form

Along with running a blog I love going on blog hunts and talking to new people! This a few days ago I was on tumblr and found this awesome guy named Chris and he runs the blog Just Another Art Form! He is an amazing poet and is a super nice guy! I love his poetry! Two of my favorites of his is Void and Ideals of a Dreamer. It's really nice when you get to talk to another blogger! When I found his blog I really excited because I love sharing talents with all of you! He was kind enough to agree to do a little interview with me and here it is! So everyone, I'd like to introduce you to Chris :D

1) What gives you inspiration?

The inspiration is an odd one as some people they say its Love, Hatred, or any of the big emotions but really more me it is looking to try and find ways to express my thoughts and emotions in a way that isn't a diary. However, when posted in chronological order you can see the mind sets I were in, like When I was suffering Depression or when I was happy, but there is also the cases when I saw or found something odd about myself or something and it just possessed me...  

2) How did you start writing?

I started doing scraps of Lyrics when I was around 14 so I was rather young, so 4 years long I have been writing. But over the years I spurned learning English in Class and nearly failed the classes, there was no way I could learn such a rigid structure once I found the beautiful freedom I found within Song and Poetry... but I always said and always will that being a poet doesn't mean you need Perfect English... it is an art and art should not be limited to rough strokes only in painting, drawing or sculpturing, it should be allowed to used in literacy arts too.

3) What do you hope to do in the future?

In the future I hope to be a fully published and recognised poet who will be doing it as I am now, writing the odd poem when I can't sleep or feel possessed by a though or feeling. I don't wish to make a full living off the poetry but I would love to have large reader base with my poetry.

4) Which poem of yours is your favorite and why?

Well out of all my "published" or Blogged Poems It will have to be "Poetic Mind" just because it holds my beliefs rather firmly in among the words. It feels like I don't think of what to right, but I KNOW what I should put to make it beautiful in my mind... Admittedly nothing is perfect and I tend to get hit and misses with my work...

5) What's one thing you'd like to say to the readers?

To anyone who is reading this first of all a big THANK YOU! and if you ever feel like the need to right do it! Even if it's a diary or song lyrics from your favourite artist or band. Once you have started and you get "hooked" I can guarantee you won't regret it, show it to your friends and listen, you never know you may even feel the joy I do when someone just appreciates your work... and this applies to other artists too! Don't hold back if you enjoy singing, dancing, painting or drawing (and the other arts). After all Everyday should be one step towards your dream and never one step back from it

Thanks again Chris for being an awesome and cooperative person :)

So everyone, go check out his blog! I'd love to know which poem is your favorite of his! And I'm pretty sure he'd love to know also! Hope everyone has a great day!

P.S. Today is the last day to enter in my giveaway! Winner will be shown tomorrow!

Birdcage Bindings

I had a little impromptu photo shoot session with my friend Lily yesterday :) I took a birdcage decoration, made a cardboard mask, created paper feathers, gave her a dress and shirt to wear from my closet, and began snapping away! Quickly I began editing the photos afterwards and I've finished! Granted I didn't really sleep last night...but I've finished! I've also created my own flickr account which is www.flickr.com/underpeachtrees so check it out! Enjoy the photos :)

And a big thanks to my friend Lily for being an awesome model and dealing with all of my ideas :)

Have a great day everyone!
