Outside my comfort zone

 May is Mental Health Awareness month.  My new favorite stationery company, Archer & Olive, provided some daily prompts for the month that helped you get creative as well as with your headspace.  I have never done a prompt challenge before but I thought I would give it a go since I was struggling with my health (mental and physical).  If you want to check out all of my pages, you can find them on Instagram @creationsbynikkil .  I will post some of the more meaningful below. Doing the challenge itself was out of my comfort zone, but posting every single page online for the world to see left me feeling vulnerable, but also I felt like I needed to share because not enough people do. By the end of the month, I was more confident and real with myself each day and I am so glad I did this challenge.  Just know that it's ok not to be ok and it's also ok to ask for help when you need it.  You don't have to struggle with it alone.

First Challenge

Well that took forever :/ I'm kinda mad at myself for putting it off as long as I did, but it's finally finished. So the challenge was to use my Gypsy Wanderings Cartridge and birthday theme paper to create a fairy tale inspired birthday invitation. I originally had an idea in my mind and had it all planned out, but, as per usual, when I started the project everything changed. Anyway, I ended up making a cute little invitation with just the word 'party' on it but the 't' in 'party' had a crown above it. I used pink paper to make a shadow of the word to put behind it and teal paper with lighter colored stars on it for the actual word. I used my Gypsy along with my Cricut to cut the words out which allowed me to copy the word 'party' and maneuver it so just cut the crown was cut out because I didn't want the word and the crown to be all one color. And what fun is a princess crown if it's not gold?!? Once I had them all placed where I wan...

Easter weekend...

Happy Easter! I hope everyone had a great weekend :) I sure did! My boyfriend was in town and we got to do a lot together. Yesterday we went to the movies and then dinner with his parents and then we went to a park to walk around for a little bit before going to the Easter Vigil at my church. I'm so glad he got to experience that with me because it's my most favorite mass of the whole entire year. Then today we went to the Reds game with his friend Tanner and my friend Sammie. Shout out to Momma Tree for the tickets - thank you sooooo much! It was a beautiful day and a great game with awesome peeps :) The only bad parts were the sunburn and the fact that my Ky had to go back to school :( but I shall see him soon enough! I'm heading to Athens on Thursday to spend a few days with him and see where he gets edumacated. On another note, I haven't gotten my challenge yet, so in the meantime I shall talk about a recent project. Most recent would have to be the mustache keych...

Takeout Tuesday

Hey there! So it's been a weird few days for me... Sunday was mainly awesome - I was at work from 12:45 pm to 11:45 pm, mostly working, but also working out... During my work period I got to ogle a lot of hot guys since it was the first night of basketball and we had a lot of new teams (I work at a health club and run the men's basketball league). During my workout I ran a mile! I know that doesn't seem like a lot, but when you weigh almost 250 pounds and are trying to get back into shape, this is a big deal... I also started on one of my stories during one of the slower basketball games. I'm glad I can multitask or I would get soooo bored trying to keep score at these games. Monday was unusual - I didn't go into work until 4:30 because I was up until about 1am since I had to work Sunday night. I did next to nothing during the day (watched TV and read some fanfics, nothing productive...) yet somehow when I got to work I was super cranky and it made my shift go b...
