Jenni called me at the beginning of November to see if we wanted to go see New Moon together. She offered to take me to the Twilight Lexicon showing that they have going on today. However, since it was $25 that automatically meant that I couldn't go to that. So instead Jenni and I went yesterday. =)

There are so many good things to write about this movie. I even think that my father, brothers, and brother-in-law might like this one a lot better. xD I've always liked the Twilight movie but it wasn't really done perfectly. This was done pretty spectacularly. That makes up for the last movie. ^^

I think Jenni and I were pretty much like Amber and I when we saw Twilight. We definitely were laughing and giggling at the same times. There was one part in the movie that I took my hand and pushed her shoulder a couple of times. I was so excited to see this little 'preview' within the movie of what was to come.

Without trying to give too much away, Edward decides to leave Bella in order to protect her. Through her depression she ends up spending a lot of time with Jacob. She's on this adrenaline rush so that she can 'see' Edward since she promised him that she wouldn't do anything reckless. Bella finds out that Jacob has become part of a pack and they aren't too friendly to vampires. While they're off hunting, Bella does something stupid and because of this she has to go save Edward from the Vulturi. She does so but they give the Cullens an ultimatum.

I had so much fun watching New Moon with Jenni. I love seeing movies with other fans. ^^ And I definitely can't wait until Eclipse comes out next June. ^^

Another funny Twilight related video. xD

For all of those who can't wait just a few more hours for the new movie. This is hilarious. xD It kind of reminds me of a certain "Angel" episode...

Aunt Jenni actually posted this and then tagged anyone who wanted to try and enter it for themselves. I figured what the heck. I like the prizes they're giving away. We know how crafty I am so it seems perfect.

TodaysMama and Provo Craft are giving away a sleighful of gifts this holiday season and to enter I’m sharing this meme with you.

1. What 5 items are on your holiday wish list this year?
A laptop (if possible) and some movies. I always like movies.
2. What is your favorite handmade gift you have received?
My Granni has made me a couple of things I love. One is a jewelery hanger in the shape of a doll made out of wood and hand painted. The other is also made out of wood in the shape of a cat and hand painted. They still hang on the walls in my room.
3. What handmade gift have you always wanted to tackle?
Maybe learning how to make knitted amigurumi.
4. What was the best Christmas gift you received as a child?
I don't have just one gift. I have a year. The whole family decided to get me a bunch of crafting/drawing supplies.

Does my nephew and niece count? I'll probably be making them something.
6. What is your favorite holiday food?
The deep-fried turkey for sure. ;)
7. What will you be hand-crafting for the holidays?
Everything. Being a poor college student just implies that.

I like lots of the Christmas songs. I usually like Silent Night and Carol of the Bells though.

I like helping prepare Christmas dinner.

Now, anyone else that wants to do this go on ahead! ;)

I had a little more fun making charms the past two days. I really didn't want to study for any of my classes since I bombed a Japanese test. Kind of depressing actually. I have never failed a Japanese test. Oh well. I guess I'll be doing lots better on the final...

Anyway, I was trying to think of charms that would probably sell in the future. I'm gradually making a stockpile of them to sell. These mushrooms are some of what I was thinking I could sell. And then my fruit blobs, of course. They're my own design and I thought it would be nice to have them in rainbow order to take a picture of them.

Well, I couldn't stop there. I kept on going. First I made other charms like the ninja and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Funny thing about the ninja and animals. I actually made them thinking I would photograph them separately. As time went on I thought that it would be kind of funny to put them in a picture like this together. (I knew that my camera hates taking single charm photos, so this was the best solution really.) I think it actually turned out pretty cute. xD


The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are actually charms that I've been wanting to do for a while. I just kept forgetting to do them or ran out of time. I like how they all have individual personalities and their shells.


And finally since I'm going to see New Moon on Friday with Jenni, I thought I would make the Cullen Crest as one of my headband attachments. It can slide onto any kind of ribbon and certain headbands. I'm please with how it turned out. ^^ Now I'll be able to wear it with my other Twilight inspired charms. xD

I was coming up with some new ideas for charms that I could sell and this is what happened. First I created a cat, monkey, and then Max from Where the Wild Things Are. I used the same star shaped that I developed while making the Harry Potter charms. The face turned out too big on the cat and I was too lazy to fix it. (Not in the future though. I won't let laziness get in the way of my crafting again.) I still like how they all turned out though. (Oh, and Max has a cute tail. My camera was being stupid and wouldn't get the tail without washing it out.)

After those three I decided to make a bun of snails. Why snails? I don't know. I thought they would be cute and simple. Turns out that I was right. My favorite one is the purple shell with a blue body. The mushroom was just something fun to make. In the future I'm going to make more of them in different colors.


Then when I was done with the snails, I remembered that Aunt Cheryl's birthday was last week. We were going to go do a dinner over the weekend but people ended up getting sick. Then we were going to try on Monday but it go rescheduled for this coming Saturday. So I can actually have a chance to give this to her now. Cheryl always seems to like the things I make and this seems to fit her.

Most of the people I know know that I have a deviantART account. I've had the privilege to trade with another deviant on there. When you do an art trade, you make/create an art piece specifically for them and vice versa. Demi-Plum, the other deviant, started a trade where there was a theme to it. The theme she chose for me and her was Illusion. I started to think of magic and the little charm here is what I came up with. Funny thing is that she created a bunny coming out of a top hot for me too. xD
