{351} vitamins

i hate swallowing pills so the only way i'm able to take my vitamins is by chewing them. i used to just take double the dosage of flinstone vitamins (yum!) but now they make adult vitamins that are super tasty and chewable!

{350} toilet paper

saw this idea on rebecca's love project and i thought it was another creative idea i'd have to swipe and try for myself! fortunately the ink didn't seep all the way through the t.p. so i managed to save most of the roll. :)

{349} eyeshadows

i used eyeshadow and eyeliners to write on my eyelids but i'd never carved my name into my treasured sephora box of eyeshadows...until today. i sacrificed my sacred eyeshadows for this project.

{348} golden globes

i love me some award shows. i can't get enough of them. always have loved them since i was a little kid and wasn't even allowed to watch any of the movies nominated! for tonight i'm going to some friends' house and i'm dressing up in my golden gown and i'm gonna watch the show in my gown eating from a big tub of popcorn. here is my name on my golden globe. :)

{347} sprinkles

well, this was a mess. dumping out the sprinkles carefully was one thing but then trying to get them all back into the bottle without the help of a funnel proved to be just a giant massive mess. i managed--but only slightly. a lot of them ended up getting washed down the sink!

{346} raffia

not sure i have the spelling right on "raffia" but years ago someone gifted me a huge basket that was filled with this stuff. knowing that i can't just throw stuff away, i held onto it. it's come into good use over the years--using it as ribbon on gifts and tying it around mason jars for a hipster-country feel.

{345} epsom salts

whilst making yesterday's name with the soap, i decided to also use some of my epsom salts. pretty sure i haven't done this one yet. :) i'm all about baths now that it's winter so i'm going through a lot of epsom salts!

{344} soap squirts

genius! i took my delicious-smelling bath and body works soap and squirted it into the sink to spell out my name. excellent waste of bath products. :)

{341} seeing stars

my mom gave me these sheets of star stickers as a way to mark a "good day" on my fitness tracker. yeah, that lasted about four minutes. at least the stars got used now!

{340} cards

this was a no-brainer and i'm surprised i'd never done this one either! the "a" for the ace was helpful. i just wish my name had a "j", "k" or "q" in it too. :)

i didn't even know that i had uno until i hauled out trivial pursuit the other day! score! i love uno.

{335} iLauren

totally obsessed with my iPhone. love all the apps. i still had my iPhone box so i snapped a pic of it to photoshop my name onto it. of course, you can't tell it's the iPhone box so it looks really plain. oh, well.

{334} doilies

yet another thing that i collect: doilies. i love their vintage look and especially love brightly coloured ones. i use them underneath my pyrex dishes to protect my shelves. see? they still have a purpose in 2012!

{333} monopoly deed

my favourite board game ever: monopoly. i had to use my name somehow! i wish now that i'd edited the whole card to read differently. oh, well. next time. ;)

{332} candy candy candy

how can i still possibly have room for more candy? all i've eaten is candy! i just can't get enough. plus, i thought these mint leaves and red gummy bears looked delicious together.
