I'm baaack :)

So, it's been since about the middle of December since I have really been on here......for shame. I got back and had SO many super awesome blog posts to read but I didn't mind, I follow a lot of lovely, crafty ladies!

Just so you know, I am going to be posting some things, it may take a minute though.....or days :) Bahaha...

I finally got my computer back before January but it has been kind of nice to be disconnected from the internet for a while......at least from my laptop. I got a new phone about a week ago - a Motorola Droid X - and it has gotten me back into the swing of things with the net :) So, now that I'm connected again I will resume posting as normal.

A friend from work gave my sister a TON of baby girl items so baby fever has been running rampant in my household.....I know my husband loves it....lol. So, I have lots of baby posts coming too.

I did realize, while I wasn't posting, that this blog definitely makes me more productive. I did make some things but I think this blog helped me be more accountable for the crafts I make. This is a good thing :)

Enough rambling....I am going to start loading pictures tonight and posting ASAP. If you are reading this, thanks for sticking around. :)

Unfortunately I Will Be On Hiatus Until Further Notice....

Or about 20 days is what I'm told. I have to send my laptop - my first and only computer- in because it is plugged in and charging but it doesn't show that it is actually plugged in. I called HP and they think that something is wrong with my motherboard......damn.

Instead of looking at this from a negative standpoint I am going to make the best out of this situation - not that this is entirely detrimental or anything. I will have that much more time to focus on Christmas, presents, crafting, family, crochet (yes, I've decided to pick up my needle again), my husband, and my wonderful fur-babies. Not necessarily in that order :) I have some crafts that I would like to start and share with you all and this seems to be the perfect way to get started on all that!

I can still check my blog from work and maybe post something small, but I can't guarantee that....I don't wanna get into trouble! I will continue to read all the blogs I follow and comment on them too, I love to encourage and - hopefully - inspire!

So, if I don't get a chance to post on here, Merry Christmas everyone!

P.S. I was also thinking about coming up with a new name for my blog, something more me...I am also becoming more dedicated to this blog once I get my computer back. Once Eli joins the Navy I would like to start crafting a lot more so I can start selling on etsy and elsewhere :) Here's to dreams!

Happy Birthday Eli!!

Jada at Callie's (a boxer/mastiff mix) 1st birthday party.
This is her way of saying "Happy Birthday Dad!"

I just wanted to do a quick shout out to my wonderful husband Eli. He turned 23 today! This week has been rather stressful with a close friend at work passing away, but we are managing to have a good time. We went to Eli's mothers house and ate tacos and watched Iron Man 2. Now, we are at home relaxing for the night with our fur babies!! I'm just itching to do some crafting and until my drawer gets unlocked (or unhinged - one of the two) I have nothing planned!! I think I may just have to start throwing together what I can.

Constantine is on right now (wonderful movie) and it's got me thinking about the angel wings tattoo I have been wanting to get.....Now, where to place it??

Goodnight beautiful ladies and gents!!

Slightly Frustrated.

So, I feel rather silly. I seemed to have locked most of my supplies that I need to complete a project I have been trying to finish for a while in my crafting desk and lost the key. It is nowhere to be found. Wanna know the really bad thing about all this? I kept bill money in there. So yeah.....thank goodness all the bills have been taken care of.

Hopefully I will be able to finish my project soon.....it has been months in the making. Maybe I can start to sell them on etsy, depending on how good they are. I have been doing some research and have learned a lot but I think I may need to do some more......any suggestions for beginners?

Sorry this is such a short post, I don't have much to work with.....but I will see what I can do. Especially since I have more free time without the wedding planning :)

Something New.....

Just wanted to say I know I haven't posted anything crafty in a while and I want you to know that I am working on something adorable right now! Hopefully I will get it done this weekend so I can snap a few pics.....until then I will leave you guessing as to what it is. I will give you one hint though. It is for my friends son who is turning 1 in October. Here's the little man!

nighty night!

Journal Prompts & Share Time

I am absolutely horrible at posting these very quickly. It seems that since I've started this 30 day journal I've been feeling rather crafty, which I will post about soon. Enjoy this rediculous amount of pictures :)

I HAD to use the clock my mom made for me!

Father's Day was rather eventful :)

Oh, so many memories. I brought one up from middle school even ♥

Buddha was not so good, but for a quick drawing I don't think it's half bad (especially for me! lol)

Looking at it now I realize I should add skinny jeans...or boot cut whatever they're called. Bought my first pair not too long ago.

I am absolutely loving these fonts!! I really didn't draw many other letters other than plain old block but Janel from Run With Scissors, among other bloggers, have inspired me!

A friend from work introduced me to the song "I'm Awesome" by Spose a day or so before this. I found it rather fitting :)

Lots of goals....I think I can accomplish them...of course, a few of them are on my to-do list this weekend♥

The dress is really more like dark maroon faded to light maroon...but I had a limited amount of Sharpies. I also received my heart monitor yesterday so I thought I would include that because I won't be forgetting it anytime soon.

To get this off my chest (no pun intended....ok maybe), my heart seems to be beating fast every once in a while, like it has random 'fits'. It almost feels like I'm nervous and my heart is racing, but they don't believe that it is panic attacks, which I had originally thought. I have to wear a heart monitor for 30 days in hopes that they can determine what is going on. I visted a cardiologist yesterday and I had an EKG, an ultrasound of my heart, and bloodwork done, all within two hours.

The doctor told me that this doesn't seem life threatening but we should still check this out, which I agreed to, of course. Now I have three pads on my chest, one clearly visible with all the outfits I have, and they are rather annoying. It definitely grabs attention. So far no fits but I've got 28 more days to worry about that, right? Let's hope this thing doesn't drive me crazy! Either way, I'm trying to keep a positive attitude about it :)

Anyway, on a more happier note I have been crafting like crazy since Sunday and I have LOTS of pictures to share! I'm going to MAKE more time to get on here and post them up here....I've also got a picture to post to see if anyone can help me figure out what this flower is. I bought it from Home Depot and there was no tag....but it was SO pretty. Another time, another post. :)

I am off to do some journaling, and possibly a little crafting if I have some time :)
