Job Seeking

I have been searching and searching for a job for the past two-three months and i have had absolutely ZERO  luck, which is unusual to me because in the past i have gotten jobs so quickly. I have had multiple interviews at places and they all had decided to go with different candidates. This morning i had called a place i had an interview at, which was Urban Outfitters. I was so pumped and excited because i thought, 'finally, i will land this job! I just know it!' Well, turns out they decided to go with other candidates as well. I actually teared up this morning because of that. I was really hoping for that one. :/ I just don't see what i have been doing wrong, if anything. I always put in as much as i can at interviews and every time i leave feeling confident. I really don't want to have to settle for a stubborn food job at a sub shop or something, but i am getting desperate at this point. 

A Before and after!

Just to show you guys what i kinda do to my pictures, here is a before and after :) 

Make a boring sketch book into an interesting one!

Okay, so have you ever bought those sketch books that just have a black dull cover? Well, i had bought one for one of my classes and it was just way to boring for me. So, i thought it would be perfect to do a craft post with it :) 

I have to apologize in advance of my horrible pictures. I was shooting these at around 10 pm in the dark by my lamp while i was crafting this. They are not at all fabulous, so i am sorry! :[ I'll make it up to you later! 

Anyways...shall we start? I think yes! 

What you'll need:     

                                                     

                     

A boring sketch book to start with, and also lots of paint swatches! I picked these up from Walmart.

Magazine clippings. You can cut out pretty much anything. You can also use stickers, tags, buttons..ect. The amount of things you could use for this is endless really. 

Mod Podge! It's almost a must to have this. While you could just use a glue stick, i think mod podge holds nicely and give's it a really nice finish. 


So now, just start clipping away! Once you have everything you want to go on your sketch book cover, just lay everything out in place so you'll know where you want it to sit on the book. 

so here, i have just placed my swatches how i wanted them on the background. 

Just take your mod podge and put it on the back of the swatches or whatever your putting down, it will stick to the surface of the sketch book :) 

 Then, just keep adding little things on top of the swatches. I added words, stickers, paint, and i drew some little doodles on mine :) 

TA-DA! Finished! 
You can really go all out with this project and add lots of cool things. See my huge TOMS sticker? haha. I'm a huge TOMS fan, i have about 5 pairs i think? :] Have any of you re-invented a cover of something? If not, you should try it. It can get messy, but it's a lot of fun! 

Back to School.

So, Yesterday i went back to school (College that is). I am taking two classes which are a photography class and a visual communications class. So far, i like them and i think i am going to do well :) Which is great! Now i won't dwell on going to class every other day. I also have already met a few people i can talk to, who could possibly become friends, which is never a bad thing of course. haha. I'm really excited to get my camera going with my photography class projects. I think its going to be really fun to learn new things and broaden my horizons with photography. I'm looking forward to it, if you can't tell :) 

Anyone else starting back at school?
