Flower Pens!

Wow you guys... I'm REALLY bad at posting things... I'm so sorry... I'm making a new years resolution to blog more! I figure this is how it will go:
Monday through Thursday I'll blog when I can about random tidbits from my life/advice from my crazy life, and Friday will be, of course, Foto Friday! :D I've been working with Picmonkey, and honestly, it's as good as Picnik (maybe a bit better?). I've got some awesome photo tutorials up my sleeve, and I can't wait to show them to you! Saturday I probably won't post anything (but then again, I kinda lack a social life, so maybe I'll drive you guys crazy post something ;) ). Sunday will have a little spiritual post. Maybe some music, a story, just something to lift your spirits and maybe even build your testimony! Just a little way to bring the spirit into your life (and mine!)! :) So, let's hope my crazy schedule will allow me to post more! :D I have a lot to show you guys! :D

Today, we will be doing a craft! I swear, I don't have a crafting bone in my body (well, it's REALLY, REALLY tiny!!), but I can do a few things really well! And one of those is making roses out of pipe cleaners! :D

Music! :D

I just added a personalized playlist to my blog! :D Now you can hear (most of) the songs that I listen to! :D (They don't have moonlight or any of those songs though. D': Sad day!). Hope you like it though! :D :D








CheletheCello

Cellos, cellos, and more cellos :D

Hey it's my 4th post IN A ROW!! :D *Virtual high-five to whoever is reading this* haha :) Soooooooo.... I'm stumped... Hey I know! You know my favorite artist, Steven Sharp Nelson? Well he came out with this FANTASTIC and AWESOME video of "Nearer My God to Thee" for 9 CELLOS. Let me repeat, 9 CELLOS!!!!!! Now how cool is THAT? :D Though, if you wanted to play it in sacrament meeting, how would you fit all 9 Cellists up there? O.o haha I'm sure I would find a way! :) And because I love you all SOOOOOO much, I will put the link right here. I'll even embed it in here, so you have no excuses for not watching it. :D

Most awesome video everrrrrrrr!! 

Next to Moonlight, of course!

ThePianoGuys, Steven Sharp Nelson and Jon Schmidt!

So, as you know, I play the Cello. I've gotten to meet a few amazing Cellists as well.One of them is Steven Sharp Nelson! (I would link you to his site, but it's been compromised again. :/ If you are willing to go though, it is http://www.stevensharpnelson.com) I first got his Sacred Cello CD in Christmas 2009 I believe. I got it at the Deseret Book store in my area. I got it because I haven't been able to find very many LDS Cello CDs. I immediately fell in love with his music! As I have gotten more familiar with his music, he has become more of a star in the eyes of the world. He has recently teamed up with ThePianoGuys. ThePianoGuys is a music dealer in St. George, Utah. They decided to combine their video-making skills with the amazing artists who were coming though their store. You might recognize their name because they won YouTube's on-the-rise channel contest last month. Steven is just one of the many.

Moonlight! It just came out this week! :D

I first got to meet Steven a few months ago up in Rexburg where he was playing with Paul Cardall. Before hand, I had just really met him online though email, you tube, and Facebook. Let me tell you, when I met him in person, I was so excited my hands were shaking! I was like a little girl meeting one of those Disney stars... I even brought my camera! But I was so excited I forgot to get a picture! (I think that can tell you how excited I was, because, you know me, a complete shutter bug!) It was a great concert though! :D It was mainly about Paul, but he let Steven and Marshal McDonald play for a few minutes. Let me tell you, I was in laughing fits the entire time! XD Let me write a portion of what I wrote for my journal entry that day:
