Random Post // Flat Lay, Cats, Photography, Music, Etc.

I have been collecting a bunch of small, random things for many weeks, so here I am with a Random Post!

~ PHOTOGRAPHY ~

This is one of my kitty cats :)

I saw this on the street and thought it was really sad, so I took a picture. I also think it's kind of gross...

This is a beautiful peach colored sunset I saw in the middle of February.

I was using these three pencils and I just loved the colors together XD

I don't do flat lay photos very often, but this one just fell into place (atleast the pencils did).

I didn't even realize the connection between these two items until after I took the picture??

We made heart and strawberry cookies on Valentine's Day :)

Tea from Starbucks!

My orange kitty-cat! He's such a model :)

If you have ever watched Adventures in Editing on YouTube, then you've seen Tracy who makes these videos and plays all the characters in them (acted out versions of Adventures in Odyssey episodes). She recently started a new YouTube channel called "Candid Christianity" where she just talks about things related to Christianity.

I haven't watched them all, but one of her videos is called "The Lamb of God" and she talks about the importance of Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice and the history behind it. I think it's really important to understand why Jesus' crucifixion is so important and how it atones for our sins. There's probably videos out there that explain this in more detail and more directly, but this is just something I came across in my normal life and wanted to include it here!

~ MUSIC ~

I got to see the jazz singer Mandy Harvey perform, which was cool! She sang a lot of original songs, including "Try" and "Mara's Song", which she performed on America's Got Talent last season. She is d/Deaf, and it was really interesting to see her use American Sign Language while she was singing. It added a dramatic visual element to her performance. I didn't take my actual camera, so this picture was taken on my iPod :p Also, I reviewed her book here.

I came across the song "Scandal of Grace" by Hillsong on Spotify and I think the words are great. Have you heard it? If not, it's right there ↑ :)

~ Other ~ 

I put up the painting that I made in my last post, and redid my wall a little! The hexagon in the center had mini clothespins at the bottom, so I could attach special cards or notes I've received. There wasn't a lot of space though, so I decided to take the clothespins off.

To create a new place to hang the notes, I used jumbo popsicles sticks, glued together and painted to attach the clothespins to. I painted the clothespins gold, and glued them to the popsicle stick contraption. It's more spread out and looks much better this way, I think.

Well I think that's all the random things I have for you today!

What did you think of the dropped ice cream cone? Do you ever take flat-lay photos? Have you seen an of Tracy's videos? Have you heard the song "Scandal of Grace"?
