Happy father's day & to new projects

I hope all the dads (of any kind) had a great Father*s day! I*ve got a sinus infection so I told dad Happy Father*s day & called my granddad where everyone was trying out the new outside kitchen & told him as well.

I*ve had a lot of time to do nothing all day & I have done a lot of nothing. I did finish a project today! TADA! Behold he new vision..These are for sale just not up on ETSY yet. I*ve made a new shop (I*ll disclose the name when i*m ready to start selling) These are available to everyone, if you don’t have an ETSY account then just leave me a comment saying you want more info & I*ll get back to you ASAP. I*ll be adding them to ETSY when I have a few more pair to add to the collection. They*re 100% hand drawn by yours truly. They*re a size 6 ½ Jessica Simpon's with a 4" heel. Although the flash makes them look fire engine red, they are burgundy not red. These will be shipped in a customized shoe box with a free gift.

Not alot to do..

The last few days have been pretty mellow. We went to Justin's parents house so he could work on their computer & we ended up staying for dinner & watching 2 movies. I*m working on a new item to add to my website & shop. I didn't like to outcome so i*m redoing it a little. I*m watching dateline, as i usually do & these lawyers are trying to blame this little 3 year old for what happened to his little brother. Are people really this ruthless? I don't have anything to do until Tuesday. I talked to Justin's mom about Justin & his video games, that he is always playing. She gave us some idea's of stuff for us to do & make it happen. I told her it was getting a little wearing because i felt like i was coming second. So we have put in a place a few nights a week where we leave the 360* off all together. heh, I know it would thank me if it could. It*s making a weird noise..Since the 360*'s have came out he has went through 7...yeah... ;D 7...

A Little In Between

Today so far hasn*t been so hot. Mom called me last night & said i*d have the day off today because she was going to handle everything. I woke up to my phone's message tone & it was my mom. I guess she doesn*t need me tomorrow either. I got all upset because we are depending on money i bring home. Me missing 2 days thats a little over $100 Justin & I aren*t getting. We have a massive amount of bills to pay since he got his car back & yada yada. So i*m just stressed out. Justin*s telling me i have to leave my mom & get another job daadaadaa daadaadaa. We*ve already talked about this & I*m sick of hearing about it. Ya know how that is? lol if your going to be moody & unpleasant cant ya at least bring up something new? :(

On a happier note i got more packages yesterday! hehe Just so we are clear i spend the money i have in paypal for my little goodies. :P I received my polka dot cupcake dress for the Blythe doll that i dont have yet. You know how it is you have to start getting stuff before you get one. She can*t be nakie. I got the cute little thread from Jenny. You should check her out she has a lot of great stuff! She has the cutest Blythe dresses! You also see a tin of lip balm in the mix. I purchased that from Shannon's Irish Bliss. It smells excellent & i love the way it makes my lips feel. Plus the tin closes & locks tightly so the lid doesn't slide off into my purse & everything around it fall victim to a good slather. Shannon is extremely nice as well. I got the wine cork key chain from Nikki.She is super sweet too & she lives in NC as well so it got here in like a day which was awesome. I purchased it for Justin*s mom who loves her wine so i thought it would be a cute Christmas gift. $2 Ad's for an entire month!
There will be 5 ad spots up at once. After all 5 ad's have been taken you*ll have to wait until a spot opens up. Like first come first serve. I was going to change the ad's on the 1st of every month but thats not really fair for the people that have only been there a few weeks. So I*ll be changing the ad's once that shop has been there for a month. If you make a purchase for an ad & you go on the waiting list, don*t worry you*ll get the next open spot as i go down the list & so forth. You will not get skipped over.

You*ll remain on www.UniqueCharm.net & www.UniqueCharms.blogspot.com for the entire month.. If you wish to remain in your spot all you have to do is purchase another spot. If you*d like to automatically purchase another spot you can do so when you buy your first ad & you*ll stay on for 2 months with a guaranteed spot.

If your interested you can go HERE & pay for the months you*d like. Then either send me an e-mail at Leslie@uniquecharm.net or leave a comment here on my blog & I*ll get back to you for your information. If you have any questions you may also comment here or shoot me an email. Thanks so much for your interest!

Just Keep Swimming...

Finally a day to sit down and relax. I*ve been so busy lately it feels good to have a little time to do what i want. I*m so sore! Yesterday Justin & I went with his parents, his little brother & other friends to the lake. I tried my hand at wake boarding again, my arms are so sore. Justin makes it look so easy! We were swimming around after we had eaten lunch & a fish kept running into Justin. lol I*m scared of snakes so i said nope I*m done. :P

I*m working on some new designs for my t shirts & things. I*ve been waiting to do this all week. I made up a new idea last night & pitched it to Justin. He thinks its a good idea & he said he wanted a shirt the same as that one. Since I*m off tomorrow too i need to do some promoting. I think I*m going to drop my website. I dont have enough time to do it, etsy, blog, & to make stuff. If anyone outside of etsy wants an item you can feel free to e-mail me directly asking for the item & we will go from there. Some people have said they don*t want to sign up they just want the items. lol works for me.I*m plotting so hopefully in the next few days I*ll be adding something new! :) Keep a look out.

A New Day

Last night was a bad night, one pot hole after another. I ended up going to bed at 3am this morning. I*m so tired & my head is killing me. I screen printed a shirt for myself last night. I think it*s cute i really like it. I had to get a medium Hanes youth shirt. Justin was picking on me because i*m so tiny. It took forever because it was the first time i had done it the way i did. It was simple just took a lot of time to insure the detail. I*m doing another shirt for someone my brother knows. I*m going to see how it turns out & if its a go this is the way im going to do it so forth. The orginal way is not cheap by any means & I*d have to sale shirts for $20 to make a slight profit, between the time it takes & the cost it takes to produce it. Now i can sell them for $15.00. It works out for both me & the shirt wanter's. I think it*s better quality the new way too. It*s way more hands on so it's involved & I can save a lot of money with inks & screens.Take a peek!

Happy Fathers day everyone!

HAPPY MOTHER*S DAY!!

Happy Mother*s day to all the mommies! Justin was off today & so we made out rounds. It*s rained pretty much all day but it was fun. We cooked out at Justin*s parents house. Since his mom hosted a 3 day event at her work for 1st graders, she was sick. My mom had a headache so we just called her & didn*t go. When she gets migraines she doesn*t want to be bothered. She said i didnt have to come she knows i love her. :)

So last night i made my first card just to see what i was capable of. It*s actually REALLY fun & relaxing. I made 2 more once we got home, i listed 2 on etsy the rest will be posted on UniqueCharm.net. I know theres a lot of card sellers on etsy as is so i dont want to step on toes & what not. I added stickers to UniqueCharm.net too. I*m expanding & it*s so fun to be able to do different kinds of stuff, depending my mood. Here*s the cards & stickers.

Justin is taking a nap so I*m going to go watch TV with the chinchilla. It*s thundering & lightening, since he is like a baby i dont want him to be scared.

The Great Escape

I*m stuffed! I just want to go to sleep. Today was Justin*s dad*s birthday! yay!!! We all went to the Ale House and ate then went to his parents house for cake. His brother had to get redy to go to bed because he has school tomrrow. We told him if he*s good at school Friday he can stay with us Friday night. He hasn*t stayed in awhile. We boosted our internet speed & got a new router. He will bring his 360* & Justin has his- so they*ll have a Call Of Duty war tomrrow night. Justin sets him up on the couch in the office so he can play & they wont crowd each others space.

My sale ended yesterday so i believe I*m going to have another one. So this time I*m letting anyone who purchases a pair of earrings take 50% off a pendant or necklace. That sale ends 4.27.08 then I*m going to start another 1. :D It*s an easy way to spring clean.

I*m featuring this item today!

A Thing Of Beauty Friends

Yay!!! I got the new printer i wanted! Justin bought me a new printer & a new filing cabinet because he had bad news on his car. Yup, it wont be ready for another 3 weeks!!!! Japan has to make some sort of part that NO ONE else in the US has! He*s like "Now do you understand how special my engine is?" heh Does he understand i don*t give a crap :o) The printer is awesome! Before hand i couldn*t do the graffiti charm bracelets without runing 3 packaes of shrink wrap. Now I*m printing the one a girl bought forever & a day ago. She sent me all the images she wants & they*re awesome! She had skylines of Seattle & The Eiffle Tower, they were really neat! My crappy so called photo printer wouldnt do them. It*s taken out 2 shrinky dink pages & 3 photos so far :P I*m excited can ya tell?

Check out my sales! I*m running 2! One until i get to my 60th sale & another for Mother*s Day

♥Mother*s Day Sale♥
I*ve gathered a few items i think mom would enjoy for mother*s day. They*ve been marked down for the special day. Check out the "Mothers Day Sale" section.

♥FREE Stuff♥
I*m trying to reach my goal of 60 sales. Anyone who purchases until i make it to 60 sales will receive a FREE gift you*ll love!

Easter*s on it*s way! Woohoo!!

I*ve been working on the website all day! Wow, i forgot what a pain in the butt they are - lol. Oh well,it*s fun! Check it out. UniqueCharm.net. I paid a little extra so i could host the banners of you guys! I*ll be hosting 88x31 buttons & 165x150 banner sizes. It*s reasonably priced i believe. I calculated the numbers for what I*d be willing to pay to advertise. The rest of the week I*m going to be promoing it all i can. I*m making new button tomorrow & then I*m going to do it all day tomorrow. The site isn*t loading correctly but i guess it takes it a little while to get right after editing. I*m working with Frontpage. Until yesterday morning i had never thought about it, it* a little complicated but i can build everything from scratch from layouts, to the CSS.

I*ve been up since 9 this morning, i got like 3 hours of sleep last night. I couldnt fall asleep & when i did Justin kept talking & freaking me out, when he wasnt doing that he was kicking. Guhh!! Hehe He even made Roo made because i guess he could tell i was ill. He barked a few single times.

I was looking at Easter things on etsy & found Some really cute stuff! You can click the pictures because i added their links. They*re so cute!

Today Is That Day

Today has been long but it*s been ok. I had a sale so that was cool. Goodbye my little truffle bracelet. I also had a sale Friday too. I*m glad they found new homes. I*m also having a sale all weekend!
it looks alittle something like this:

♥ Make Me An Offer ♥
We*ve got all our bills due the next few days. So I*m having a little sale. I*m letting anyone who's interested contact me with an offer you*d be willing to pay on anything in my shop. I*ll be doing this until Sunday at 7:00pm
If your interested you can e-mail me or convo me.

I decided to open another credit card. I know i shouldnt have but i need to pay some of these bills. So why not? :O) Debit is the American way. I*m watching Rob & Big with Justin & oh my god. I thought this would be dumb, how about for the first time in my life. I was wrong.Rob just did 21 world records & Big had 2. Rob did skateboarding records & Big ate banana*s & donuts. Now they*re trying to get Meaty on the cover of a box. Not looking to good. I*m just waiting time until it*s time to go to my mom*s. Since Justin will have my car because he broke his Friday night I*m not going to be able to go to the post office everyday, so I*m dropping everything off at my mom's.

Meet AppleCreekDesigns

I*ve decided to help my fellow etsians. I*m going to add a different person to feature every week. I dont get a chance to blog every day i may start doing it every other day instead of every week. I know a lot of etsy memebers are helping to this. I for one think it*s great, it helps other's get out there & if i can help someone I*d rather. So here*s my first feature.

Meet AppleCreekDesigns!I hung out at my moms house today to let her do my laundry. My brother dropped in to talk about the night he had last night. He*s plotting to get a 07 BMW 335i series. Thats what you get when you have a job handed to ya after highschool, He*s been there 4 years & he*s moved up but he*s slowly slipping away from it. Of course my mom is all freaking out because "it*s got to much power, him & his idiot friends will hurt themselves". Him & his idiot friends don*t drive their nice vechicles when they*re smashed. Well, one did once but he wont do it again because it took him 5 months to learn to walk again after the seatbelt cut him open. ick! Speaking of all things ick, mom showed us pictures of the tornado that we were in when we were 3. My brother broke his collarbone & had bruses on his face but i was stuck in the hopital for 2 weeks. We were found on a concrete slab that was a garage [[ together side by side, mom was 1000+ yards from both of us ]]. I guess from what she says i face planted the slab & the entire left side of my face was a scab. I looked like the terminator. I remember when i was in the hospital i had been there 3 days & my mom wanted to surprise me so dad rolled me down to the elevator & when the doors open my brother & dad came out. This is around the time mom started crying again. I also remember a not so pleasant moment. They had to swab my face with this cream 4 times a day & i memeber it burnt & tingled at the same time. Maybe this is why i*m so easy going & respectable. Because ya never know when life could be over & this is my second chance. I would post the pictures but they're graphic. hehe, on a happier note! I made another custom sell today. wooo!! I*m going to take tomrrow to get caught up on the rest. I have 3 more to do! I love it, it gives me something to do. So until next time, be safe everyone!

Interesting Day Of Doing Nothing,

I didnt wake up until 12 to do nothing ;D wait..thats everyday! I did get Roo new bedding & he got a bath. He*s so funny! Daniel & Justin's little bro Brett were here. They're playing Rock Band..It*s so awesome! Although SO loud!


I made a mexican feast last night! I made hard & soft shell taco's, homemade cheese dip, chips & dip, & Spanish rice. They were impressed i was proud of myself! That's the 1st dinner i*ve made since we*ve been in the new apartment. We've gotten almost everything unpacked. I*m excited to be here. It*s not the townhouse with the other roomates we had!! Whew. One more day in that place & I Was ready to gag!! It*s so quiet here! I just love it!

I tried my hand at lip balms & lotions last night. Went well, i believe i*ll continue to make them. I*m selling the lip balms & pots for $1.00 a piece & the lotions for $2.50 a piece. I*ll throw in a lop balm or lip pot & lotion for $3.00 if anyone is interested. The only reason i*m not completely satisfied is because i didnt make the labels on my computer so they're hand written. They're to small to fit in my printer. I*m gonna do a lot of the flavored lip balms. They taste so good! I*m not advertising the flavors yet though :D So ya gotta wait & keep popping in. If your interested http://www.uniquecharm.etsy.com is where you can find them along with other things i*ve made.
