A List of Firsts

I saw this over at The Curious Pug and since I love taking surveys... here you go!

First thing you do when you wake up:

Hit snooze.

First thing you reach for when you open the refrigerator:

Usually soy milk for my coffee/cereal.

First thing you do when you get to the gym:

Ha! I can't remember the last time I went to a gym.

First thing you do when you get home from work:

If it's okay to substitute "school" for "work" (because trust me, I work much harder at school than I have at any job I've ever had), the first thing I usually do is come home and collapse on the couch.

First car:

A purple, used Dodge Neon that cost me more in repairs than it did to actually buy it in the first place. It was a cute car, but I never should've bought it.

First accident:

In high school, the week after I'd gotten my license, I wrecked my parent's minivan while driving myself and my sisters home from school. Thank fully no one was hurt (can't say the same for the minivan though!).

First thing you wanted to be when you grew up:

I think it was probably to be a teacher, if I remember right.

First choice beverage:

In the morning... coffee. Every other time of day... probably water or some sort of fruit juice.

First choice breakfast:

Oatmeal with raisins, bananas, and walnuts in it.

First choice dessert:

Pumpkin pie.

First song that comes to mind:

Frosty the Snowman. (And no, I have no idea why that one popped in there.)

First major purchase:

Probably my first laptop, which I got when I was about 20.

First job:

Library aid at the local library. Unfortunately it paid nothing. But... I got to hang out with books, so it was all good.

First time you flew on a plane:

When I was in high school and my family took a trip to Disneyland!

Meet a Designer: Stephanie Kubo

I stumbled across a completely fascinating artist today, Stephanie Kubo . Her portfolio doesn't state if she's a working designer, illustrator, etc, but her work is exquisite so I think she fits the bill for including in my Meet a Designer series. Enjoy! (Linking up with Kristen Victoria ).

DIY Art Journal

Hi, my name is Linda and I am a 25 year old law student living in Manhattan. I blog over at My Passion Is... about my life, scrapbooking, DIY crafts, photography, exploring NYC & more. I am honored to be sharing a post with you today on Jen's blog, so thanks for having me! I recently completed a mini album that I made out of a pasta box so I wanted to share a tutorial with you so you could make your own! What you need: empty pasta box [I used a whole foods penne pasta] scrapbook papers & embellishments a single hole punch sturdy tape [like packaging tape] a paper cutter and/or scissors some sort of binding, either binding rings or ribbon First, you are going to flatten out your pasta box. Then you are going to cut it down to two 6x6 squares [or whatever size album you want to make]. If the box doesn’t fit perfectly in those shapes that’s alright, just piece them together using packaging tape to hold the squares together. Once you cover them i
