MLA Citing Just Got a Whole Lot Easier

http://www.easybib.com/mla-format/website-citation

This is my go-to when I'm writing a research paper. So simple and easy to use, like a little cheat sheet when you need it most. Happy Citing.

Prezi.com

https://prezi.com/

I wanted to throw this neat website out there. Prezi.com is a site that allows you to be more than creative with your presentations. I love this site! The vector based program allows you to zoom in and out as much as you please to achieve an interesting effect to your presentations. I hope my prezi will keep people's attention and let them know a little bit more about myself!

Compress your PDF!

Is your PDF too dang small to upload your work to your blog like me? This website is easy to use and is a great way to quickly re-size a large sized PDF to a workable size for most sites.

DIY Project APP Layout

This logo had a pretty bad start, but I seems to have polished up nicely!

Loading page for DIY Project app

Main menu. A little busy but self explanatory.

You've just selected Holiday DIYs. Now you may choose different Projects for different holidays

Layout for how Projects are presented after clicking on a holiday.

You also have the option to share your own project with others who use the app and "create" your own sequence to make it easier to understand for others.

Oil Pastel Grid

2011

I ended up giving this to my neighbor as a gift. She still has it hanging in her kitchen to this day. I think this is a good example of how to grid something proportionally.

Friendship Bracelets

2010

2011

2014

Another one of my hobbies. Friendship bracelet making. This does require a pattern. Letters I grid myself and sometimes design myself. Although many other patterns can be found at http://friendship-bracelets.net/patterns.php. I'm addicted.

Tis the Season

2012

2014

For the past two years, I've been making it a tradition to make/ design snowflakes. Each is unique. I don't have a pattern for any. I just wing it. I'm a winger. It's about time I get started on some for this year.

New and Completely Different Element Grid Assignment

I really did hate the other grid assignment I did. It had nothing to do with a grid or myself. Here I as able to express myself while using the grid effectively in my design.
