So yesterday my dad and I went out and he got me some calligraphy ink. I got the standard black and also blue, green, and purple. He got me some parchment as well because the ink tends to get blotchy on regular paper. My teacher gave me a pen and a set of nibs as a graduation present so now I can make more craft stuff! Yay! I tested out the purple ink making my mom a mother's day card and it came out all right.

Also I got some new outdoor spray paints and stencils so I can decorate our lawn chairs. We usually just paint them white because we live out in the middle of nowehere and our house isn't too big. We don't really hold a lot of gatherings; our neighborhood is a very private and isolated place those who choose to live here do so because they like nature, peace, and privacy. However, all the relatives are coming up for my graduation and we're going to have a party, so we're trying to spruce the place up a bit. We're repainting and replanting everything. I don't know what can be done about repainting the tree fort though...it would take so much time. My dad insisted on painting it brown years ago to match the house, but then we had the house re-sided blue and now we just have this giant brown box up there. I'd like to paint it some other color...oh well.

I'm actually really psyched to paint these chairs, guys. Oh, and also I HAVE CUTE STICKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to get some of those too...
