getting crafty!

So as a studying avoidance and another way to help look forward to the weekend I took on a little crafty project today! Tomorrow night the beach house boys are hosting an 80s party! Now don't ask me why but I just love themed parties (as do most people in our class apparently) and especially after this hard, stressful week we are all really excited to dress up in our tackiest 80s clothes and have some fun.  So I have acquired purple tights, an off-the-shoulder t-shirt, some scrunchies and some bright blue eyeshadow.  But I was having a terribly hard time finding shoes that fit the obnoxiously colored bill.  So I decided I would make some...I bought plain white, off-brand keds and painted them a lovely shade of lime green and then proceeded to apply the "splatter painting" technique in pink, aqua, and purple.  Now I have to warn you, this is not the easiest thing to do and there were a few mishaps but I'm sure Layla hasn't even noticed the random dots of color ;) Hope everyone has had a great week and are looking forward to a great weekend!

PS--super excited because the parents are coming tomorrow!!!
