Time Capsule

I'm so excited for my time capsule! I have been working so hard on it, and it is finally complete!

Here's how to do it:
1. Get a shoe box and decorate it any way you want.
2. Gather the supplies you want to put in it and put them in your time capsule.

Here is what I put:
  • Newspaper
  • Photos of yourself, family, and friends
  • Grocery Store Ad
  • Music CD
  • Technology Ad
  • Shirt that has the year on it
  • Clothing Store Ad
  • Your Bucket List
  • List of your favorites*
  • How you imagine your future*
* I would write these in your own handwriting, so you can remember how your handwriting looked.

3. Write who created it, when it was created, how old you were when you created it, and the date when you want to open it on your time capsule. I'm going to open mine when I have a son/daughter who is sixteen. Then I will ask them if they want to create one for themselves. Hopefully it will become a tradition.

4. Put the time capsule in a place you will forget about it. I'm going to put mine in my closet. I wouldn't recommend putting it anywhere outside because it could ruin it.

This is my time capsule!!!

Camping

It's an annual family tradition to go camping. If you've never done it before, put it on your bucket list.

Here's what we did:
Rode in the back of a truck
Went Fishing
Built fairy houses
Made popcorn, S'mores, orange rolls ect... over a fire
Went tubing in the lake
Played games
Sang camping songs
Slept in a tent
Danced with glow sticks
Skipped rocks on the lake

Cooking croissant and cinnamon roll dough over the fire
Riding in the back of the truck
Come here fishy!
My favorite cousin!
Tubing in the freezing water!
By the end of the trip I'm pretty sure I smelled like a mixture of sweat, smoke, bug spray, and sunscreen, but it was worth it!

Oodles of Doodles

I have always wanted to decorate a plain pair of white shoes. Taking something boring, and changing it into something exciting... it's pretty fun!


 Started out with a $6.00 pair of shoes from Walmart.

My decorated shoes!
 Got some permanent markers and just starting doodling all over!

My sis, Sydney's decorated shoes!
They ended up pretty cute. 
I must say, they will match with pretty much anything.
