We Three Kings

Decorating for Christmas and wrapping presents are probably my favorite parts of Christmas. This a really great decorative piece and is an easy DIY present for anyone. I made it for my dad last year, and standing up vertically, everyone kind of joked that it was probably a Red Rider bee-bee gun from A Christmas Story.

Basically I took a board of cedar, sawed it to the appropriate size and painted it red. Then I used a gold acryllic paint to do the words and figures... really you could do any words from a Christmas song. Then to finish it off, I put some holly clusters in the corners.

Merry Christmas!

Blah... Finals....

Studying for finals is such a drag. For my creative math final, we have a take home final full of proofs which all require a lot of thought. So in boredom, while I think about how to do these proofs I've been making snowflakes. Yes I'm a child. But some of them have gotten quite intricate and I've made a ton. I might be going crazy.

Paddle Exchange

For the last chapter of the semester today, all the littles have our bigs the paddles we had made during the semester at the local sorority store, Paddle Tramps. I think my big really liked it.

Mom's Weekend: Day 1

So this weekend, our Alpha Chi chapter hosted a Mom's weekend. So yesterday my mom flew in and we got to hang out basically all day. Then last night we all went up to the lodge for a Pajama Party. Everyone got matching Mom and Me pajamas and we had several team games we played.

My favorite game was decorating a pair of cupcakes so they had the same theme (years of watching my dad decorate cakes probably explains why it was my favorite). This is what my mom and I came up with.
