EVERYTHING GOES DOWN

Within this calendar, I'll put in when we need to buy the items to make boot leg root beer and how long it will take to ferment, as well as when we need to start and if we want to bottle or not. When we make the root beer, I'll detail the account of how to make it. It will probably start on September 4th.

I'll update this as the time comes closer for me to start getting stuff down and ready.

Much love, kids <3

I've been gone!

Sorry I haven't updated in a long while. I've been in Houston, kidlings. I loved it.

I'm doing a huge photo and art upload today, so hopefully I will post again later with pictures of me in my dress.

I've decided to make a feather headband. I'm going to look at some designs and see what I can do. I have some peacock feathers and other such things right now from past art projects, so hopefully I won't need to buy anything more.

BAD NEWS

I will have the worst paycheck on the 8th :C VERY SAD FACE. So I have to be extremely careful with my money right now. I have a list of things I need to buy for now, and I can't go over that.

Happy 4th of July!

Blow up things! It's what our founding fathers would have wanted.
