design site & cakepops!

Deanna — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 20:04:23 +0000

I’ve created a new design site. It’s a branch off this site. I’m in the middle of building it but I’m really excited to show it to everyone. :3 I’ve been super busy because I opened up requests for free icon sort themes and icons on the Starszz Fansite Forum, I didn’t expect to get so many orders! I’ve done about 16 and I have one more to finish but I stopped to write this blog.
So, my first days back at school were good. I have 2 periods of Credit Recovery, then lunch, then Media Arts and I finish the day off with English.
I had a bit of a rough week this week but I’m just going to have to power through it next week. Plus next weekend’s a long weekend. :3
well, on Friday I had my best friend Elizabeth over and we watched a video on how to make CakePops. In which me needed a CakePop maker. So we made a powerpoint for my parents about how we need one and surprisingly it worked! Elizabeth slept over and on Saturday we got the Babycakes CakePop maker at Sears! So we made the CakePops, it was easy. Frosting them… not so much. We actually did a video if you want to see our stupidity you can watch it here

Eventually we did figure out how to frost them. We had to call my mom at work and beg her to bring us frosting and semi sweet chocolate chips and we had to melt them together to frost them. We had fun though so it was all good.
That’s pretty much it for now. I did get a new Affiliate! her name’s Ashley! You should check out her site!! Just click her name in the sidebar! :3
bye bye for now!

new new new!

Well, I’ve added some new things. As you can tell, I’ve changed the theme. I loved the last one but I needed to make room for our brand new Icon Center!!! Check out the brand new Icon Center with 60+ icons and more and more being added! I’ve also added a new premade wordpress theme it’s called “Cactus In The Valley”. It was inspired by my new pet cactus! I named her Camille.

In addition to the theme & icon center, I’ve added a Networks page where you you see all of the social networking sites and such that you can find me or my graphics at. and a couple new blends have been added.
So you’re probably wondering why I’m posting this all on a random Wednesday night… well I’m going back to school tomorrow. The beginning of semester 2 and I haven’t been to school in about two months because I’ve been dealing with my depression. I never really came on my site to blog during that time cause I really didn’t want to be a whiny bitch and blog about how I was feeling. But finally being able to get back to school is a major accomplishment for me right now. I’m nervous but I’ve got my best friend, Elizabeth to help me through it. I seriously don’t think I would have even made it through these last few months without her. She’s really just been my rock, she’s always been there for me when I need her and she’s always knows what to say.
So that’s pretty much it for updates. Enjoy! and make sure you let me know what you think of the new stuff!

that’s flashy!

hey guys! so I recently got Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5 wow that’s a mouthful and I’ve been trying it out. Seeing what does what and such. The only thing that I can really do well at this point is make light balls and put them in spots and make them move and stuff. Unfortunately I have no idea how to put in my blog post yet… so
CLICK HERE TO SEE MY WEIRD BOUNCY LIGHT BALL THING!
isn’t it cool?
I hope to be able to make my next layout with flash elements. :3
So what do you think?
and also, I’m considering installing iconsort for the icons page…. yay or nay?

New Premade WordPress theme!

Deanna — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 05:44:46 +0000

I’ve discovered something about myself. When I want to make a wordpress theme and I don’t want to update the main theme. I tend to make premade themes. Which is good for you if that’s what you’re looking for… ;D
Here’s the newest!

Painter’s Desk Theme

I’m kind of in love with it! You can download it on the Premade Layouts page! what do you think? :3

oops I got tagged!

Deanna — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 03:47:07 +0000

So my lovely friend Lynds tagged me and now I gotta answer some questions. This should be fun! :3

1. Where did you get the idea for your site name?
It’s a Jonas Brothers song! I loved the song and I was like, “that’d make a cool site name!” thus FeelinAlive.net was born! and I chose .net because .org sounded weird to me and .com is associated with the US and I live in Canada so… yeah.
2. If you wish you could change anything about yourself, would you or would you not, and if yes what would it be?
I might consider giving myself perfect eyesight. But I’ve kinda gotten used to my glasses. I’d love to make myself skinner, it’s not very fun being overweight.
3.If you had any super power in the world what would it be?
Me and my Dad were talking about this earlier. He thinks it’s dumb but I would want to be able to shoot money out of my hands. OR bacon out of my eyes!
4.What is/are your pet peeve(s)?
hhhmmmm, WHEN PEOPLE REPOST INSTEAD OF REBLOG ON TUMBLR. seriously that annoys the shit out of me.
5. What is your favorite sweet treat (candy, ice cream, anything not exactly healthy for you but you eat it on occasion anyway)
hm, I really like cake and cupcakes.
6.If you were stranded on an island what would be 4 things you would take with you (let’s see if anyone thinks like me aka “logically” lol)
uh, I’d bring Big Time Rush, a flare gun, food and water (I figure they come as a package) and perhaps a tool box.
7.Favorite thing to listen to when your bored? (in terms of music)
I really just listen to whatever I feel like. But if you’re still REALLY curious as to what I’m listening to. Feel free to add me on Last.fm!
8.If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?
I’d love to go to Italy, my Dad was born there so I’ve always to go and I’d love to visit L.A. I have a weird obsession with celebrities and fame and stuff so I’d love to see where things are filmed and see the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. :3
9.When you go to a website and view content what is the first thing you search for?
I like to check out people’s graphics or tutorials. It’s always fun to see what others can do and what they can teach you!
10.What is your favorite Crayon in a Crayola box (from the original 4 to 120-something, I think 124, out of all those colors which is your favorite)
The White One. I feel like it’s very misunderstood.
11. Do you think its stupid that I can’t think of an 11th question?
Technically, this is an 11th question and this contradicts itself.

Well that was fun! I’m really too lazy to tag other people so I enjoyed answering these questions. :3

New Premade WordPress Layouts & Textures!

Deanna — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 05:43:55 +0000

I’ve finally added some new content to the site! I’ve added the very first Premade WordPress theme and a bunch of texture packs that I’ve made! So hopefully you all enjoy them!

I present to you the NEW feelinalive.net!

Deanna — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 01:08:07 +0000

hey! welcome to the newly revamped and updated FeelinAlive.net! Tons of tutorials have been added along with this great looking new layout!
I’m really really really proud of this layout. It’s my first try at image slicing and I didn’t screw it up! I’m quite happy. I love it so much, this layout means a lot for me. I’ve recently gotten into fan sites. I love designing fan sites so much. I’m considering opening a website to sell my fan site designs cause we’re kinda tight on money right now and I’d love to have some spending cash even if it’s a couple dollars, so I don’t have to always ask my parents for money. So thoughts? good idea? bad idea?
oh btw while I was on hiatus, I turned 17! WOOT WOOT.

FeelinAlive is undergoing a revamp!

Deanna — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:33:28 +0000

hey! as you can probably notice FeelinAlive is not so alive these days. But I’m going to be revamping the site with new tutorials, graphics, a layout and everything so stay tuned for that! thanks!

First Day Of School

Deanna — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 01:38:52 +0000

So today was my very first day on grade eleven. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Although all of mt teachers were all preachy and all “UNIVERSITIES WILL LOOK AT THESE MARKS SO DO GOOD.” And I’m just like…”I’m not 100% sure what I want to do with my life.” I always have people telling me. “oh well you can do whatever you want to do. You can try things out and if you don’t like it switch it.” And then the teachers are telling me to chose what I want to do. But I just don’t know. Sure, I love graphic design but I also love cooking and baking. Do I want to be a chef? or a graphic designer? I just don’t know which on I’ll succeed at and the fact that I don’t know, scares me. The future’s a scary thing. No one knows what it will bring. It’s a frightening thought.
The one thing I love about the first day of school is that everyone is hugging and excited to see each other and even some new faces. It reminds me that my school isn’t as terrible as it feels sometimes. I can’t even express how happy I was to see some of my friends.
My schedule makes me sound REALLY smart. I have
Homeroom/1st Period – Anthropology, Psychology & Sociology
2nd Period – Hospitaly & Tourism (Cooking)
3rd Period – World Religons
4th Period – Law
see it sounds smart.
Today was pretty good. I manged to patch things up with Kaeli. If you read my last blog post you know what happened. Her foreign exchange student is here now. Her name is Gillian (pronounced like Gill-ee-in) and she’s from France! she’s kind of adorable. hahaha. So here are some lovely questions that no one will answer.

1. Have you been back to school yet?
2. What are you taking?
3. Have you or any of your friends had a foreign exchange student?

OH PS HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEST FRIEND ELIZABETH!!!

It’s a Rainy Day!

Deanna — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 00:52:52 +0000

so today, it was raining. After sitting in my bedroom, playing my guitar I looked out the window and asked myself, “Wouldn’t it be cool to be able to make a rainy layout?” and I was inspired to make this one. I thought it was pretty cute. So let me know what you think.
So, I’ve gone through this big dramatic situation last night. Here’s the story. My best friend Kaeli and I have been friends since the 6th grade. Recently she has gotten into the band Marianas Trench. We found out that they were playing at the CNE or the Ex if want to call it that. So Kaeli was like hey wanna go? and I was sure it’ll be fun. So we planned to go and she asked her sister to go and she said okay I’ll come and bring a friend and I asked my sister and she said maybe. So yesterday Kaeli told me her sister picked up a shift at her work and wasn’t going to come with us and I was like okay that’s alright. We went to the mall yesterday and got glow sticks and she bought a skirt for the concerts and I bought some earrings. When we dropped her off at her house she had told me she’d text me let me know if her parents would pick me up or if I needed a ride to her house. I said okay and we left. Last night, she texted me and said that her parents would come and get me and my sister and told her that Vickie wasn’t coming with us and then she informed me we had to have someone 18 or over in order to go. This was the first time I had heard of this. There was nothing I could do about it. If she had mentioned it before then I could have asked my sister and told her we needed her or we couldn’t go and in that case she probably would have agreed to take us for sure. But she didn’t want to spend the entire day there so she said no she wasn’t coming with us. So we didn’t get to go. But this isn’t the worst part about last night. Last Night I was making my sister French toast because she just got her wisdom teeth out and it was soft enough for her to eat. Just as I was about to start, my phone rang and I had a facebook message from Kaeli’s sister. Here’s what it said.

Deanna, I don’t like you because my sister can do way better than you when it comes to friends. How dare you flake out last minute on something she super wants to go to and say you’ll go next week with someone else. You are so lucky to have a friend like her, someone who puts up with this bullshit. You have hurt her so much because now she not only doesn’t get to go to see her favorite band with her fat best friend, she gets the added insult of being left out when you do go. Between your laziness on projects and high maintenance personality you’re also a best friend worse than an enemy. I hope this makes her see just how much you suck and she drops you.

I read the first few lines and burst out crying. Not only is she completely wrong in her message it is hurtful. She’s wrong because, I didn’t know we needed someone to come with us. And I am not going to see Marianas Trench later on this week I am going to see LIGHTS. I honestly could believe what she had said to me. I am hurt beyond repair at the moment.

-Deanna
