New Hair Do!

I have exciting news...be prepared...Drumroll! I have a new 'do! Thanks to:

, , AND...
(MOMMY)

Yes, I'm wearing fake glasses in the picture and that picture is like a year old.

Ok so, you wanna see my hair? Yes? No? Well, guess what...if you read my blog, you have no choice.

As with ANY makeover, you need a "before" picture so...

And YES, I know I look like the Queen of the Undead Zombie Legion of Montana.

BEFORE (Ewww!)

AFTER (YAY!)

If my hair was always straight, I'd totally go shorter...and apparently I am not photogenic last night or today...Or it could be the lack of sleep...Anyways, what do you think? Is it better Curly or Straight? Speaking of which I need a new straightener...mine is evil...it PULLS YOUR HAIR! I yelled at it this morning and it pulled again! Ergo my straight haired pictures looking kinda frizzy. Oh yeah and I got hurt by the scissors...mommy stabbed me! lol They are the freaking sharpest scissors EVER!

2 Cards made with Mommy's Stampies!

Hello all you Crazy People! (Once, I had a friend who had that as her email address.)

I made 2 cards...the first is an ultra girly but rocker/punk/emo style card, with the Maltese stamp...with TONS of sparkley and pink stuff!

I used patterned foil heart paper (from the mini DCWV Rockstar stack) , metallic silver cardstock (the square under the puppy) and pink white core cardstock,(under the puppy and on the top & bottom of the foil paper) which, as you can hopefully see, I quite thoroughly distressed(Scrappers talk for making "looks like it was ran over by a truck" look cool). I used 2 black star shaped eyelets and silver ribbon with black edges. Oh and how could I forget? I used Pink "gift of the crafty gods" aka "Stickles" on her hair bow!

The next card is a belated birthday card, which, if you're like me, always meaning well but never meaning well on time...IT'S PERFECT! This card is also quite distressed, with dark brown ink and sanding. I also tried something new to me...I sewed on paper! (see the "little" and the strip of jeans on the bottom) GASP! It looks kind of stupid but my crookedness went along so well with the style I was going for, that I actually like it. Speaking of new, I also used a strip of Sierra's old jeans on the bottom edge (Hey,the butt of them was basically shredded, so I might as well make good use out of them!) The gift of the crafty gods was used on this as well...I used matching Stickles for random dots on the paper...Mom has enough variety that I actually had trouble deciding which pink/purple/green etc. to use! As we say, Stickles equals love, therefore someone verrrrry special (who's birthday I forgot, unfortunately) will be getting this card! ;)

COOOKIEEESSSSSS!!!!

Hello my adoring public!

I have not been blogging for the sole purpose of keeping up my reputation as a procrastinator. But alas, though I swore that I needed nothing interesting to blog about, I HAD to have something at least semi interesting to blog about...What's more interesting than cookies? CHOCOLATE CHIP cookies! DUH! So I will share the fantabulous recipe and a few pictures of my cookie baking experience...

Me, listening to Demi Lovato, while gazing at the last chocolate chip that was in the bag, which, as is my tradtion, I got to eat!

Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

1 cup of softened butter 1 teaspoon of salt OATMEAL!!!!!

1 cup packed brown sugar 3 cups Quick Oats

1/2 cup white sugar 1 cup of chopped walnuts

2 eggs 1 cup Semi sweet chocolate chips

2 teaspoons of vanilla 1 teaspoon of cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

Preheat oven to 325 F. In large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar, until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; Stire into the creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in the quick oats, walnuts and chocolate chips. Drop by heaping spoonfuls on ungreased baking pans. bake each batch for 12 minutes and cool. Enjoy with coffee, tea or the good old classic...milk!

This recipe is very versatile. You can listen to Demi Lovato or Relient K or Lady Gaga or Black Eyed Peas...whoever you like. You can listen to country, rap, hip hop, pop, 80's etc. A radio is good if you like spontaneity (a word that basically means RANDOMNESS), or you can be cool like me and use an MP3 player, with everything you like on it, in the order you want. You can hum along or you can be awesome like me, and totally rock out, using whatever utensil is in reach, for a microphone...

Seriously though, I added 3/4 of shredded coconut...it was waaaay good! Once, I added white chocolate and cinnamon chips along with the semi sweet. Every bite was like heaven! I'd like to try it with Craisins...or if you're weird and like those sorry excuses for grapes (aka raisins), I'm sure you could add those too...

AHHH NEW BLOGGER CHICK!

Hi Everybody!

I'm starting a BLOG! Holy cow! What am I thinking? Oh yeah. I was thinking, "Hey, that sounds kind of fun, cuz I like to write. But I have nothing to write about...oh, wait. WHO CARES?! I can be random!" So yeah, hopefully it will be amazingtastic and fantabulistic and all my other made up adjectives.

Oh and by the way I am going to post pictures of my recent crafty thingies too...so it will sort of be a craft blog but that's why I named it Randomly, Ruby...so I won't be tied down to one thingy! YAY!

Now that I've posted, I'm going to Youtube to learn how to play "Catch Me" by Demi Lovato, on the guitar, from Taylor Wagner, because she's the best Youtube guitar teacher I've found...YAY!

Peace, Love, Randomness
