Hey :) If you’ve gone online in the past couple of days you’ve probably noticed a lot of talk about a guy named Kony. Joseph Kony is an African war criminal responsible for over 2 decades of violence and countless atrocities. His army, the LRA (Lord’s Resistance Army) has abducted and displaced thousands of innocent people and it must be stopped. In order to stay in power and keep his army, he abducts children and forces them to be killers…it’s absolutely horrific.
The Invisible Children organization formed in response to this and has been working to end the armed conflict for the past 9 or so years. Since Kony is the leader of the conflict, they created the KONY 2012 campaign in the hopes of making him “famous”, because if people know who he is, they can come together to bring him down.
Within the last few days the movement has gained incredible traction. The video below has gone viral and pretty much every social network is flooded with talk of it. The video is long but incredibly moving and explains everything…if you haven’t watched it yet I really encourage you to:
Even if you don’t live anywhere close to where this is happening it still affects you, because in order for a response to be made it needs to be brought to everyone’s attention. Only then will those in power be motivated to do something.

Hey, TGIF
everyone! ***Redecorating my bedroom has got me in a really organizational
frame of mind. One thing that I find is always particularly difficult to
organize is my jewelry collection. It’s so important to keep it all
tidy and safe in order to maintain the condition of your pieces, but I
think you have to really like your jewelry stand or display in order to
keep up with your organization. Below are 5 super cute and creative DIY jewelry display ideas that have me motivated and would be really fun weekend activities.Yeah, i know, it's sunday. But for the next Friday, i think it's a good idea. I'll going tomorrow to make it! ;D
Using
picture frames is a classic way to display your jewelry to make it more
visually appealing. Here are three different takes on the picture frame
method:
1. Applying chicken net to the back of a standard frame
will give you the perfect size hooks to hang your earrings from. Get the
steps for how to do so here.
2.
Another way to use frames and wires for your jewelry is to simply run a
single strand of wire across the back of the frame. This is a much
simpler alternative to the chicken net idea above. Click here for more info on how to make this wire/frame combo.
3. It looks like this framed display
was made with shadowboxes, which you can get at Target or most home
décor stores. Just hang on the wall as usual, add pushpins, and hang
your jewelry, violà!
4.
Okay, onto other materials! How perfect is this DIY jewelry stand made
out of pretty plates? It’s such a simple and brilliant idea and they
could turn out so many different ways depending on the plates that you
choose. Click here for the instructions. (If crafts aren’t really your thing, try a cake stand for a similar effect.)
5.
This DIY antler jewelry display is too cool. I love the tips and it's a
really adventurous and original way to show off your accessories as
well as your artsy-ness! Click here for the how-to.
