My brother and sister at the Beach

This is the picture that is in the frame on the post below. My brother and sister are walking through the water in Laguna beach carrying Johnny Rockets Balloons. I love this picture!

Seashell Picture Art




Finding More useful ways to use my seashells. I think the pictures speak for themselves, but I will still say what I did. I took the seashells and glued them to two picture frames I already had in my room. I think they both came out nice. I made the first one even more beachy by putting a photo of my brother and sister at the beach! Too cute....

Cute Seashell Decoration

Hi! This weekend I took a trip to Huntington beach with my family and my best friend Viry. After playing in the sand and boogie boarding on some waves we worked up an appetite and decided to try Aloha Grill.The food was good and the atmosphere was amazing. I really loved that place, but what I loved most were these cute table centers they had, which were glass jars filled with seashells. Of course I just had to go and make my own so here is the one I made.
My mom had this pretty little glass bowl just lying around so I took it and filled it with seashells and Tied this cute beach colored ribbon around the top. I filled it with the seashells I got from the store and I think it looks amazing!

My Room Before























So I was sitting by my computer and thought well since I am giving my room a makeover why not do before and after pictures. The only problem is I don't have after pictures yet, but hopefully I will post them up soon too! For now your eyes must burn at the sight of my hideous room! Enjoy!







My Favorite Beaches

Laguna Beach

New Port Beach


Santa Monica Peir



Venice beach
I don't really live that close to the beach, but I live close enough that almost every weekend me and my family go to the beach and these are the ones we go to the most and my personal favorites!



Isn't this Bed adorable?


I really love this bed set and I am trying to see if I can get it.. It's so cute isn't it! The only problem is that it costs $50.00 and that's without shipping and handling fees. Yes $50.00 isn't a whole lot of money but still its just might be enough to make my parents say no. Before I really hook myself onto this bed set I'm going to head over to Bed Bath and Beyond and Big Lots and check out with they have!

Easy Ocean Night Light: What you will need and steps

What You will need:
1 Nightlight with a white outer frame
( I got mine at the Dollar Tree for a dollar)

Acrylic or water color paint
(Acrylic works best)

Super Glue or A hot glue gun
(I used super glue to avoid burning myself and for quicker results)

Assorted Small Seashells
(You will only use a couple)

Sparkle Glue
(Can be found at local Craft Store)

A few Artists Paintbrushes

Steps:
Figure out what you want to paint on your nightlight. I decided to paint the ocean with a clear baby blue sky, but a cute beach or underwater scene would be fine.

Using a thin artist paint brush paint your work onto the Nightlight then wait to dry.

Once the paint is dried add some glitter to your picture

Select a small seashell and using your glue gun or super glue, glue it to the top of the nightlight and add some sparkles to give it a cute shiny look

You can finish by adding more small shells to the side of your nightlight

Now plug your nightlight in and enjoy! The possibilities for this project are endless
