For a whole month I have had a nasty sinus infection. I have seen 3 doctors. A very nice looking doctor, an Asian doctor, and a doctor who stuffed a foot long metal telescope/flashlight halfway up me nose... So through all of my fevers and cold chills I started blogging till this week. This week I took a break from posting because I wanted to put another outfit. That never happened. I was in my jamjams with soup and a mocha, watching random movies and reruns. I do promise, starting Monday, that I will start posting more if I feel up to it. So in other words, I will post something when I type or read without getting a massive headache or dizzy feeling. My apologies to my readers, but I know that you will someday feel sick and understand my pain.
P.S.- Jamjams are my way to say pajamas in a cute little tone=)

Duck....Duck...Tape!!!!
Duct Tape. The poor, but crafty, person's best friend. A versatile tape that people have used to create prom dresses, boats that really float, and fix the everyday little problems that life throws at them. But today, I am going to use it to teach you how to make a handy dandy keepsake box. Or accessories box. Or whatever you need a fancy box for!
Materials needed:
- A roll of your favored color of duct tape
- One old shoebox
- scissors (duh)
1. Put the beginning of duct tape inside of the lid and pull roll till you think it enough tape to cover the area you are about to put the tape on. Before cutting, make sure that the tape is lined up perfectly with the edge of the lid and press the tape down on the surface. Now you can cut the tape. If you haven't already messed up, tuck the remaining tape into the inside part of the lid.
2. continue step one till you have reached the the other side of the lid. If you are using a type of print for duct tape and you have a small case of OCD like me, try to overlay the duct tape so that it blends into the shape that it is meant to be.
3. Now for the lid sides! For me, I only needed one strip to cover the side of the lid. Make sure before you lay down your strip that there is about an inch hanging over both ends of side. Once you have pressed the side, cut the remaining side thingys. If there is still a tiny bit left, go head and press them down. They are hardly nocticably.
4. Covering the sides of the box is pretty much the same as the lid. Take a strip of duct tape and make it look extremely fancy. For my box, I didn't cover the sides because I like purple(if you couldn't tell from my bed). There you have it! Your very own duct tape box! Pretty simple, huh?

Dear my newly made blog and followers
| The author. :) |
hummm.... How to start my very first post on my very first blog.... How about with the deep and dark truth. I have no idea why or who made decide to write a public diary of my little life adventures. There, I said it! It seems like a brilliant and bright idea, but after you try to start this light....the brilliant brightness turns to stupid darkness. I realized what I wanted to write about is too similar to others. I thought I would make it a indie fashion blog like my some of my favorite bloggers have made thiers. All of their cute outfits made from both expensive and thrifted items. But then again, I love so much more then just vintage style clothing. From now on to the end of my blogging days, this is going to be a mix of my indie and vintage lifestyle. Its the books I read, (I am a giant bookworm, warning you now) the music I listen to, and the stuff that I think are just past the meaning of the word epic. So enjoy each sentence I post, every adventure I face, and all the smiles and ideas I hope to inspire in your life as well as my own.
Sincerely, Your Sarah
