keys

Keys. They're pretty great. I mean, if you didn't have your house keys, you'd be locked out of home sweet home. If you didn't have your car keys, you wouldn't be able to get to wherever you need to go. And if you didn't have the key to your heart, you'd never be able to give it away to that special someone.

Recently I've been getting into more crafts. I've always been into them, just ask my six year old, glue-covered handed self. The one who littered the kitchen table with orange and brown construction paper bits the time she made a tree picture (I never found out where that got to, but that was one of my first creations I was really proud of). So I've decided that in addition to posting photography on the blog, I'll let you glimpse into a little more of this girl's life, starting with the biggest trend right now: do it yourself projects. Sure, I'm a little late in letting the worldwide web know about it, but I've been adding to my Pinterest board for quite a while on this subject. So, after pinning and pinning and reorganizing those pins painstakingly, but loving every minute of it, I'm going back through and trying out all those ideas! Some work, some don't. One of today's projects is the glitter key. As much as I hate those girls who must have everything perfectly girly and feminine, I do have a secret love of the sparkly stuff. So, today, I unhooked all the keys from my key ring and girl-ified them. I decided to go the lazy way and just do glittery nail polish. Probably won't stay on there very long, but I'll try it for the time being.

Here's the photos, because what would be a Seven C's blog post without some photographic evidence?

the city of lights

It's hard to believe it's been one whole year since I took this picture. I wouldn't describe many things as magical, but I would definitely describe this sight as one of them. Breathtaking and dreamlike would be two other words I would describe it as. I wanted to see the Eiffel tower since I was about 14. I would sketch little pictures and pin photos of it around my room, never actually thinking I would actually get to see it. But when I did, I felt like I was walking in a dream. My breath caught, and my heart fluttered a little. Sounds silly. But it's honest.

If you ever get to see the Eiffel tower, I'd recommend seeing it at night. The day time view of it is quite amazing as well, but night is when it truly will catch you. If you get to see it at the top each hour til one a.m. you will see the Eiffel at its best--a flickering tower, which reminded me of thousands of flashbulbs echoing through the night's skyline. Here is the official site of the Eiffel tower (you might have to translate it into English):   http://www.tour-eiffel.fr/tout-savoir-sur-la-tour-eiffel/les-illuminations
