"Falling From The Sky" New Original song!

Falling From The Sky by Maya Anjelica Murillo

 Alright. I bet after listening to this you're thinking, "Oooh. Maya's in love again!"
Nope. Still a single lady! (woah oh oh, oh oh ohhh oh oh oh) :)
Someday though...when it's meant to be! I'm just in love with the idea of love, and all it's moments. I think it's scary, but magical. Something worth waiting for. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this cheesy, yet tasteful Ukulele love song by yours truly :)


All my love, Maya

CRAFT: Quinceañera Wall Hanging

 This week's quinceañera is all about the glitzy decor. Recently, my family took a trip to Mexico and my mom visited a historic church that had some wildly ornate wall decorations. She wasn't able to snap a photo (out of respect for the church, you know...) but she did describe them to me and together we created our own version.

Simplicity currently has a huge display of quinceañera embellishments at Michaels (in the wedding section) and that's what we used to make this wall piece. You can make several in whatever sizes you want and use picture hangers to display them. You could also use a standing easel to show them off as well.

Here is the display at Michaels - it is like a yummy candy store, full of color!!

SUPPLIES:

A styrofoam round base (I used an 8" size)

Straight pins

Simplicity Quinceañera tulle, ribbon, feather, mini disco balls, figurine.

Aleene's Tacky Sheets

Hot glue

These are the supplies I started with, but I ended up using more!

 Start with a base of tulle. Cut it into 12" pieces, gather and pin it all around the base to cover it and make a fluffy circle.

 After you have that part done, you'll need to cover the outer rim. I used the quinceañera butterfly ribbon and I attached it using the Aleene's Tacky Sheets. They are cool because you press them on and then peel the backing and it leaves these tiny sticky dots behind!

 After that is covered, you'll need to add some dimension and texture to the front of the wall hanging. We used the quinceañera glittered feathers and other feathers and glued them in place.

 I added some pieces of sparkly green tulle throughout the blue just to give it a pop of color!

 Hot glue your figurine in place. TIP: Instead of adding a figurine, you can add a colorful paper plate from the Simplicity Quinceañera line and glue a photo of the quinceañera girl of the night!

 I also added these cute mini disco balls all along the bottom.
What can I say, I like glitz!!!

I hope you've enjoyed my quinceañera craft project series! Let me know if you have any questions. The main thing is to have fun and don't be afraid of color! What I really love about this line of products is that they can be used for all kinds of things other than quinceañeras. so even if you don't plan on decorating for a quinceañera, but love bright colors and sparkly items, you should still check out the display, there are so many goodies!

This post and quinceañera craft series was sponsored by Simplicity. I'd like to thank them for inviting me to be a part of it, I really had a lot of fun making these crafts!

FIRST YEAR OF COLLEGE. DONE.

 I think about 85% of my friends are updating their Facebook statues to let everyone know that summer has begun.
Summer. Ohhhhhh yeah. 


I remember summer. Not too long ago I was tossing my cap in the air, (not really... I was paranoid I'd never get it back..but you know what I mean) and ready to take the world by storm.

1. "What college are you going to?"
2. "What are you majoring in?"
3. "Your hair is so long and pretty!"

• Arizona State University.
• Public Relations.
• I know, thank you!! It took me so long to grow it!(UGH! WHY did I cut it?!?!)

(I never thought I'd despise two simple questions so much)
Anyways. Starting out my first year of college was like Buddy Holly's song, "Everyday" 

 Everything was perfect! I fell in love, my teachers were nice, and I had made new college friends.
I was set. What else did I need? I thought nothing could go wrong. (cause it never had before, right?!)
-Until the exams hit. The papers were graded. My hair was short. I was no longer the apple of "his" eye.-
My perfect image of college had been burnt. To a crisp. I didn't understand "responsibility". Actually doing hard work, like studying, or having someone edit my essay. I did the minimum work, skipped classes,  In high school I never struggled with my grades.(Except for Math, YOU SUCK) But suddenly i'm getting C's?!  D's?! It used to be SO easy.

I guess you can say I put on my big girl pants and realized that things don't just magically fall into your lap. It takes hard work, self discipline, and dedication in order to succeed. And lastly, you shouldn't make permanent decisions on temporary feelings.(Like cutting your long, healthy, curly hair. I will never let that go. lol)

Okay. Lesson learned.
 I can only go up from here, right?
Sooooo, here are my survival tips for incoming college freshmen!
