New Business Cards

Last week I made up a new Business Card design, and got them printed! Its a new design that reflects some of the brand I plan to begin to implement into my creative works. It can already be seen on my blog and in my website.

Business cards for me have a funny little story behind them as in a way it led to how Rowan and I met. My friends decided one night when we were out to give him one of my cards, and that prompted conversation in the future of if he still had it or not. Thank you to my friends and to my business cards!

Here they are:

My beautiful cousin, her friend and her dog, enjoy <3

Galaxy Craze

Yesterday I wore a pair of shorts I had DIY'd the day before. I was super excited, and really happy with the way they turned out! They actually fit me really well!

Hoodie - Stitches
Crocheted Top - Stitches
Galaxy Shorts - DIY (look for the process soon!) The Paper Galaxy --- CHECK OUT MY ETSY SHOP TO PURCHASE

Rowan took me on a date night, and I brought my camera with me too! Frisbee, coin tossing, name etching, and tree climbing were all involved as well as making me a lovely dinner of perogies and pasta. Was a lovely evening to take photos, the park is super cute with a little zoo, and we saw wedding photos being done, which also looked super fun!

Camp

My Boyfriend works at one of the Tim Horton Children's Camps, and sometimes I get to visit him. We found a spot by the marsh and the rock climbing wall to take a few silly photos. I've missed him a lot this summer, but I've loved every moment of visiting the camp and meeting all the counsellors and the kids also. Yesterday was the Staff Social which everyone let me participate in :) It was Halloween themed so we bobbed for powdered donuts and went through a haunted house. I also got to meet Canadian country star Chad Brownly. It was a pretty awesome day.

Megan Colley

Here is a set of photos I did with my friend Megan back in June. She was amazing to work with, and I would do it again in a heartbeat! I am always available for photo shoots, couples, music, best friends, or just for fun! Send me an email to victoria.l.stacey@gmail.com and visit Megan's Facebook page to listen to some of her amazing music: www.facebook.com/MeganColleyMusic

I'm Back... For Real

I've decided to finally do this. I've put it off for a long time, but now if the time to make things happen. I am about to start by 3rd year of University, and it's time for me to document that. Photos, videos, designs, clothes, and whatever other random thing pops into my head... that's what I will be showing. 

I will be setting goals for myself, and I hope that this blog will be a way of allowing me to achieve those goals, and set myself up for success. Over the next year, I think this blog will allow me to grow artistically, and I am excited for that! Look forward to a new shop, photo shoots, outfit posts, contests and more! I have aspirations, and they path towards them starts here.

Four months ago I started this blog, and failed to keep my goals in only a week. Not this time. My 19 before 20 list, did not all get finished, but some did. Here's a reminder of the list. Some did get finished before my 20th birthday, and a few more were accomplished in the last four months.

1. Take a photo everyday - Not quite
2. Go a day without technology - Still needs to be done!
3. Go vintage shopping in KW - Accomplished in August with my Boyfriend <3
4. Paint - Although I did do a painting, I have been painting leggings.
5. Develop film - Still needs to be done, onto my 4th roll.
6. Go to a casino - Accomplished before I turned 20 :)
7. Do an activity I've never done before - I climbed across a bridge 40 feet in the air
8. Eat a food I've never had before - Guacamole, and I liked it!
9. Make a dessert I've never made before - Sugar Cookies, and I sort of failed...
10. Surprise my boyfriend - I threw him a surprise party!
11. Surprise my mom - I feel like I did this, but I don't know how... 
12. Explore a part of KW I have never seen before - Not yet
13. Wear a dress or skirt every day for a week - I have lived in dresses/skirts all summer long.
14. Do a DIY project a week and post it. - Working on it!
15. Cook one special meal a week - This will happen in September when I have someone to cook for!
16. Go to a new restaurant - Tried Tony Roma's in Niagara Falls, Symposium in Waterloo for desserts and Spin Dip!
17. Watch a movie I've never seen before - Rowan and I watch a lot of James Bond movies.
18. Go to a yoga class - Accomplished last week!
19. Plan a party - My own 20th birthday party, as well as my boyfriend's 20th surprise party.

So I still have 7/19 left to do, and not all of them were done in a month, but I'm still happy I accomplished them. Now comes the big one. 22 things (big things!) to do before I'm 21.. 9 months left to make those happen... look out for that list soon!

The beginning of a new decade

I'm posting this to bite the bullet. One month before my 20th birthday and about to go into the second half of my second year of University. I signed my first ever lease last night, and finally realized what it is like to be an adult and live fully away from home.

As I come into being a 20 year old student, I am starting this blog to reflect on me personally, creatively, academically and professionally. Who knows where my career will take me, and I want to document it on the way. Look forward to weekly features as I share easy (and cheap) DIY projects, fun recipes and silly life tales as I make my way through my 21st year of life. Except lots of photography and experiments along the way, but that's what life is for isn't it?
