I love concerts, museums, randomness, earning cash online, free offers and promotions, musicals, live performances, Lady Gaga, good deals, cheap + effective products, tips on having a better day, ways to improve life, small steps that make big differences... and life is only as interesting as you make it. Make plans, keep them, and go places even if you don't want to-- it could be the best time of your life. Schedule appropriately!

2014 Concert Setlists
One Republic Setlist, Blossom, Cuyahoga Falls, OH, USA 2014 - August 6, 2014 ** This is the setlist for a show on August 3 in Noblesville, IN. I went to a show at Blossom in Cuyahoga Falls, OH on August 6 but couldn't find a setlist.
Girl Talk, Nautica, Cleveland, OH, USA 2014 - August 7, 2014 - In the nature of Girl Talk, a lot of what he played sounded new, at least to me. Never really found a set list, but it was a great show!
Ed Sheeran, Wolstein Center, Cleveland, OH - September 4, 2014

DIY Paper Crafts
Want ideas for DIY crafts made with things you already have like paper, magazines, and glue? This has become my latest hobby.
Paper has been a favorite medium of mine for a few years now, starting with this:
I used an old canvas that had a failed project on it. I used watered down Elmer's Glue to cover the background with shredded paper, piece by piece. (This was SUPER time consuming, but painting glue onto the canvas and throwing paper on it didn't work.) I then dyed paper dots (from hole punching binders at work) with coffee, tea, and wine for different colors, and glued each dot. My father built the frame for me.
I made gifts for my nieces, still stuck on the paper theme.
The next paper project I had my heart set on was using rolled up magazine strips to make a picture frame or frame a mirror. Unfortunately, there is a bag of rolled magazines and only one simple project came of it (so far!):
... but I will admit it looks good on my mantle!
I have a Pinterest board specifically for paper projects and have tons of plans and many of the supplies to do some of these things. The most important thing is to have fun! For more ideas, follow my board here:
Follow Melanie's board Everything DIY Paper on Pinterest. UPDATE: Since I posted this, I've really gotten into magazine beads. I've finished multiple bracelets and am working on completing a 6x1 mirror, framed completely with beads. The beads are definitely more user friendly than the coils.
