diy: "what does the fox say?" sharpie mug

I won't lie... I am seriously in love with the music video, "What Does the Fox Say." I know, it drives some of you crazy, but really, it is hilarious, random, catchy, and totally witty. I can't stop watching it and I might be a little obsessed, which is why I made a mug out of it! 

And if you don't like the song, I'm hoping you'll at least love this mug.
Cause I think its seriously cute and love how mine turned out!

What you need:  sharpies & some plain coffee mugs. I thrifted these for 50 cents each and I seriously love the gold rims! It just adds a little something :)

How to make them:  I free-handed the silhouette of the fox onto my mug, but you could also easily print out a silhouette and cut it out to make a stencil! Just draw on whatever silhouette you want on your mug. Also, note that it is very easy to wipe off sharpie marker from your mug before it goes through your oven, so if you make any mistakes, don't worry! Just give it a little scrub and you cant start again.

After you're done drawing, simply stick them in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
For a more in-depth tutorial, check out my movember sharpie mugs from last year!

Note: You do need to hand-wash these mugs as the marker will still scratch off in the dishwasher! 

So any thoughts on what the fox actually does say? ;)

weekly wrap up: tea and things

I had an incredibly full schedule this past week.  I was (and still am) working on a major project for my documentary film class.  I am making a 10 minute documentary about a wonderful woman name Karla, and her tea business Karla's Specialteas.

Though it has been a lot of work, this project combines two of my favourite thing, tea and film!  And it gives me an excuse to go to the lake and film tea cups!

 (Though I may have gotten a few odd looks...)

You may recognize Karla's name from other posts we have done here on ps: heart.  She was the one who convinced Kelsey to finally try tea, and shared her awesome Sangria Iced Tea recipe with us!

I also did a bit of baking with my mom this week!  Which is always fun.  We made some delicious pumpkin tarts, as well as our traditional 5 loaves of fruitcake.

I'm not going to lie, we may have busted out the Christmas music while we were making the fruitcake.

I'm sorry, but you just can't make Christmas cake without listening to Christmas music!  

It is one of my dad's favourite Christmas treats, and it is definitely a two person job.  It combines over 8 pounds of fruits and nuts, so we have to mix it with our hands in the biggest bowl you can imagine.  I was up to my elbows in candied fruit!

I may have cheated and used a photo that Kelsey took of me last week, but I just couldn't help it.  We went over to my friend Michelle's house to play games and hang out with her new puppy Buffy.

Buffy is absolutely adorable!  I may just have to steal her away and love her forever.  Or maybe I will leave the responsibility of a puppy to Michelle and her husband Kevin, and just visit her all the time and be the "cool aunt".

I hope your week was wonderful!

And, if you are a student like me, good luck with finals and final projects!!
