Totally Awkward Tuesday- Tubing

Once again, I will be participating in Totally Awkward Tuesday with Tova Darling. So here is mine.

Everyone should know who Dollface is. If you don't, I'll tell you again. Dollface is my boyfriend of almost two years. Anyway, Dollface always has an end of the year party after school lets out. This year, his mom was away for the party, so we had to do the party at his dad's house.

Now, Dollface's dad is kick butt, I'll tell you that. I've never met a dad, other than mine, that was seriously THAT awesome.

Anyway, Dollface's dad has a boat, and we were going to go tubing. The day before we actually had to RETRIEVE the tube from his mom's house, in the rain. No, that wasn't the awkward part. That was the fun part.

So, the day of the party came. It was generally a fun day. I taught some people how to kayak, I watched my friends try to sing on Rock Band, I hate a lot of food. It was fun. Then, it was TUBING TIME.

So we went out on the boat. There were six of us on the boat. Dollface, myself, two of Dollface's friends, Dollface's dad, and one of my best friends.

So we got out on the middle of the lake. Dollface and Dollface's friend #1 went out on the tube. Watching them got me scared. I don't like to take risks. Regardless of moxie meaning courage, I do not like to go out on things that may very well kill me. Anyway, after they went, one of my best friends and Dollface's friend #2 went on. Again, watching this more and more got me scared sh*tless. Then finally, it was my turn.

Dollface and I went on the next time. Now, before I go on with the story, I must give you a very important detail. I was wearing a bikini with shorts on top of the bottoms.

Okay, so we went out on the tube. We kept going faster, and faster. I was getting more and more scared for my life. I kept yelling "DOLLFAAACE!!" when I almost fell off. This happened many times. I'll tell you, I was holding on for my dear life.

Then finally... I fell off...

And so did my bathing suit bottoms.

LE GASP! You say. Yes, that's what I was thinking while I was drowning underneathe the tube. Before I got back up to the surface, I pulled them back up quickly. I was just praying that no one saw.

Luckily, I got back to the top alive. The life jacket helped hide the fact that my bikini half fell off too. No one would have known, unless I asked.

And if you know me well, I did. But they didn't see anything, and they just started laughing. Then, to make the situation even more awkward, Dollface's friend #1 yelled out:

"THAT'S SOMETHING ONLY DOLLFACE SHOULD SEE!"

Right in front of Dollface's dad.

Totally. Awkward.

Shell Pendants

Here's a flashback from the past!

Almost a year ago, I made these shell pendants.



They have holes drilled in them (by hand, mind you), and doo-dads glued in with 527 glue. I am yet to make them into necklaces, but once I do, I will post the final result.

I am also thinking about posting up tutorials on some of the craft projects I have on this blog, but... More on that later. ;)

Who is Dollface? Well, I'll tell ya!

I've had two comments questioning... "Who is Dollface?"

Well, to answer your question, Dollface is my boyfriend. :) We've been dating for almost 2 years. <-- (No biggie. Hehe.)

Dollface went across the country on vacation.

So there you go! Now you know!

(I love my rhyme scheme.)

The Start of a Baby Craft Marathon!

No, I'm not pregnant. >_>

My sister's best friend and aunt of my oldest nephew, who is like a sister to me, just found out that she is pregnant. Not even five minutes after finding this out, I dibbed planning the baby shower and already have a few ideas for some cute baby crafts. I'm very excited.

So, be aware!!

Six Word Saturday

Here are my Six Words:

I miss my Dollface really badly!

[Yes, Dollface is one word.]

Ring Pop Creations?!

I know what you're thinking. "Ring pops? You mean those rings with the delicious candy on them that you suck on for hours, but you never can lick it all off?! You can make something with that?!"

And the answer is, yes.

A year ago, while my cousin and I were hunting for Cape May Diamonds, and we had a marvelous idea. "We could totally make a ring out of these," I said. My cousin and I found a plastic part to a ring pop, but weren't aloud to pick it up because it was dirty.

So, this year, before I went to New Jersey, I went to my local dollar and bought 3 packages of 4 ring pops. (Thats $3 dollars plus tax for 12 ring pops. How much are they at the grocery store counter? Like, 89 cents?) Anyway, once I got to New Jersey, I handed my cousin a bag and told him to start licking!

We went to Cape May, found some diamonds, and brought them home and made these:


Yes, if you must ask, that is ME modeling the ring. On the top of the ring, there is a piece of clear seaglass.


This is the same idea, only we added that weird looking shell, which we also found on the beach.

I must also note that we had to use 527 glue to glue all the diamonds/shells/sea glass on the rings. And 527 glue is very, very smelly.

Please excuse the mess...

I am currently editing my blog... So yeah. Excuse the messy appearance.

UPDATE: What you see right now is sort of what my blog is going to look like... Well... I don't know for sure. Crafty people like me don't know what the heck they're doing. Excuse the few minor problems that would only annoy someone with OCD (that'd be me). I'll fix them tomorrow.
