15 Artful DIYs to Fill Your Summer With

So, today is my birthday! *woop woop* My family is going to see the movie I have been DYING to see since last fall, Jurassic World, in 3D. I'm so excited to see this, because I've been watching the trailer practically every day for months now, and I just wish it would clear up because it's been cloudy ever since I woke up, which is totally inspiring a lazy day, and that's the last thing I need (I wanna put on leggings! :c), so I'm just doing laundry and browsing Pinterest in my PJ's until it's time to go. Am I not the only one who does this? Anyway, after we see the movie, we're going out for pizza at THE best pizza place in the entire world (can you tell it's my favorite?), Abby's Legendary Pizza. It really is legendary. But I've been feeling super arty lately, so here are 15 artful DIYs to fill your summer, because every summer deserves to be oh-so arty farty~

What You Should Do This Year Instead of Making Resolutions

Do you ever make New Years resolutions, but not keep them? Exactly. Resolutions can be boring. Traditional, yes, but not creative enough for the artist inside you. Which is why I'm making an achievement jar.

They are super easy to make, you don't need a foreign yak or thousand dollar bills, or an Australian koala fur scarf. All you need is a jar and some craft supplies, that's it. If you want, print out some motivational pictures, if it suits you. 

 Just decorate the jar with whatever you please (You can also choose whether or not to use a lid). Then, whenever you accomplish something, whether it be big or small, write it down on a piece of paper and stick it in the jar. By the end of 2015, it'll be full, and you can go through and read all of the pieces of paper in there, remembering all that you did. This art project is much more creative than New Years resolutions, in my opinion. Have fun!! xoxo
