The rental house I stayed in was located at Old Orchard Beach. Old Orchard Beach caters to fun seekers with shops leading down to the beach, seafood restaurants, and an amusement park (that unfortunately was closed for the entirety of my stay). Old Orchard Beach was nice, but most of the surroundings were pretty kitschy and I’d prefer a more authentic location next time Blake Orchard is a delicious spot for health-conscious shakes, smoothie bowls, and cleansing juices.

As I’m sure most of you know, TBT, or Throw Back Thursday, celebrates the events of yesteryear by sharing photos and looking back on those times with nostalgia.

Fast forward to the present where I’m now happily a Fashion Merchandising major in college.

In my school, we’re asked to use rubber cement as the adhesive for our magazine clippings. Before you start deciding where to place the smaller images, cover the board with large background clippings. You can make scalloped edges, outline the shape of the item in the image (or cut it out without a border entirely), or simply round the edges to make your clipping more interesting. It took me a few days of having all the clippings laid out on my desk and rearranging their locations until I decided how I wanted to tape them down (or is that called procrastination? :P).
