About
So, my name is Colleen as you've probably already realised, and I'm 18 years old. I kind of forgot about Cut Out and Keep while I was in school and stuff, but now that I'm a ~high school graduate~ I figured I should devote some time this summer to crafting.... And posting the hopefully awesome results on here!!
I'm kind of obsessed with London, England, curling, lacrosse, dumb boybands, and Doctor Who. So you'll probably see some of that stuff in my crafts. I also formerly loved painting my nails in weird, new ways, but sadly I work in a concession stand at a movie theatre, so painted nails is a no-no. If I figure out any new designs in my off time I'll definitely share them though!
Feel free to contact me, as I'm trying to come on here more often and I love chatting with people and sharing ideas!!

What are you up to?
Sorry about your wrist, I was doing some cart wheels around the dance studio (before class) and I wasn't warmed up, and my tiny wrists (just over 5 and 1/2 inches around, lol) were so sore... mainly just my right hand, as it is dominant and got most of the wieght put on it.
My little sisiter just got glasses! She is so cute! Do you have any sibilings?
In the USA, Thanksgiving is the 4th Thursday of November, so about every 5 years it's on my Birthday.
I'm also a prefectionist, lol. My room would bve neat as a pin, but for my slob sister whom I share it with. lol, I love her anyway.
I was sooo good at math last year, but it's gotten harder, but I'm very visual, so Fractions and charts are easy for me to learn. I love writing, so it seems to be my best subject. What's your favorite subject?
I got mine at walgreens, and it's called "Hot for Chocolate" number 903, by Revlon. Hope that helps!!
Good news, I tryed a new tactic, and wuite returning the insuls, and after 1 or 2 mean little jokes, it totally stopped. And he was really NICE. Scary... lol. He's still imature, but at least he's more bearable. And easer to be around. I got some parts in a balet, and so did his older sister, so we're going to car pool a lot, so now I'm not so freaked out about seeing him there. Because before, it was like getting a really, really big shot....
Anyone you can't stand? If it helps, kill them with kindness. You might find that they're not so bad after all!
My aunt does Race for the cure down here too, except she's in charge of orghanzing it, not running. Thgat's why she has us, lol. We go to all of her meetings, help out whenever possible, and have fun. It's nice
It's starting to get really cold here (we don't really have fall, just really hot-summer, 1 week of nice, then bitter cold-winter, and lasty, a brezy cool few months-spring. Not so springy really, really just dry.... very dry.... but summer is rainy
How's the wheater there?
I was really Sressing about school, until I was given this calender thing, which is really just a peice of paper you copy that has a space for everything every 30 min from 7am to 9pm. It looks like this:

I started it today, and EVERYTHING i much better. There's even time for goofing off! lol. I'm thinking of making a how-to for everyone to use. What do you think?
Today when my dad picked me up from ballet, we went to walgreens for something he needed, and I got a cheap bottle of brown nailpolish! (they had like, 3 shades of it there, and most were really just dark red) So I'm set to make my version! *.*
Tell me about it! I want to be a novlist when I grow up, honestly I wasn't made for running around with the boys and yet, here I am, lol!
We have some company coming over Saturday, and we've known them before I was even born.
They have 2 girls (much older than me, but very nice) and 2 boys (one is my brothers age, the other is 2 months younger than me) The one my age is sooo annoying, and everyone thinks we're related, lol. When we were kids, we fought sooo much. I'm not mad at him anymore, and I still don't like him (not even as a friend) but I wish he would cut it ut. It's really silly. Gaaah... That's what happens when you try to be as ruff n' tuff as them I guess. lol. 9He's shorter than I am, but he's growing. He doesn't know that I'm only going to be 5"5' at the most, lol)
That's about it. I have to clean up all of my sewing stuff (it's all over the floor from my latest version) and I have to fgure out how to get into the attic and stay there for about... I don't know.... a couple hours? (or at least until HE is gone) J/k. But if it weren't so hot up there, I totally would.
Ewww.. Was the girl alright? My needle broke once, and it flew and grazed my neck slightly. I was fine-and no blood, woot!- but it scared me, lol.
I'm sure if you go o Sally Housten (I think) or somethign you can probably find soemthing brownish, or you can make your own! Take white nailpolish, add some food coloring, and done!
Maybe a blue-red-yellow combo would get a nice brown color?
lol, my lil sis and I share a room, and every night I mess around on the computer, using a small table to hold my snack and drink. Well tonight, I brought an extra drink up for no reson, and set it on the mantel above. While making my new how-to (kettle corn) and eating my tasty creation, my sister swung a blnkaet (she was maiing her bed, idk) into the table, spilling my drink. She was shocked, and was telling me how sorry she was. Withou looking up, I calmly reached for the drink on the mantel. She was even more shocked. lol. WIN!
Anything fun happen latly?
I took a few summer classes too. That's actally where I learned how to use my machine. It's really old, and the instruction were anything but helpful, lol.
Ha! I'm just good at fixing messes.... and even better at creating them! I had this cute tee that I got on vacation, and it was really big, so I resized it... and forgot to add a seam alowence... So.... When I saw a how-to for fixing small tees, I did my own! Almost finished....
My day was fine, I just got back from my piano lesson. Gaaah.... That is one thing I AM very bad at. lol, my teacher loves my little sister becasue she flys through the music lessons hitting each note... oh well. We all have our things.
I was looking at your "ABOUT" thingy, and I ALWAYS have cat hair on me! Luna is white, and it looks really funny when it gets on my black leotard for ballet...
I've been sewing sense I was 7(by hand, started on a machine when I was 9), and I range from stuffed animals (they are not very good... kinda misformed a a little creepy... lol) to cloths and arpons. I could never do it for a living, Like my Grandma (I got her old Viking Sewing machine when I was 12) but I still enjoy sewing for fun.
I'm posting my verson of how to save a small tee shirt soon! It's turning out pretty well!
How was your day?
lol, know what you mean. Instead of having really weird nail polish colors, I have strange sewing things.
All my non-crafty friends come over and see my "Crazy death machines" they ask about all the things I make. What they don't know is what I sew, isn't very good. lol.
I can't wait to see them! I'd do the turkey leg! (lol, I'm totally sereous!) it's be halarous! If you did a how to, I'd even make a verson of it. (It won't be good, but hey, who cares?)
You could do paw prints, fireworks, daisies, bees, butterflies, letters (spell a team name or somthing), hearts, a cupcake, I think you get the idea! I could easily go on for hours, but I think that'd be a bit too much, lol!
Oooo.... Snowman nails! That sounds cool! Maybe you can do some nail how-tos over Tahnksgiving and Christmas Break?
lol, I can't dance without instructions. I'm not the most balenced person in the world (and I'm defently not flexible!!) but I can learn the dances quickly, and I love doing it! You should take a class or two, you never know!
and i know EXACTLY what you mean! same thing here.
