I*m so tired...

I*m doing some card drops before i take a shower & head to work. Since I*m still doing a little over 25 hours a week at both jobs i dont really have time to do anything else. Yesterday i was in the Cop Center at Staples by myself. I haven*t taken the certifications yet but my manager schduled me because i*m good under pressure & i*m a hands on person. It wasn't so bad, i only got yelled at twice in 5 1/2 hours lol. I tried getting into some bakeries to tie into my pastry classes in the fall but i dont have any experience & they said the wedding cakes i make at home arnt the same as commerical baking. So I*ve resorted to Staples ( once again :] ). I just wamt to save up some money to help pay off these loans I*ll be taking out inthe future.

I am still working on the new project & should have some goodies up & running in a few weeks. I need you guys to help me out a little, I*ve added a poll on the right hand side & i could really use your opinions. I*m going to make some coffee & get ready for work. I hope everyone is having a fun Tuesday!

I need sleep

I*m so tired, i didnt really sleep good last night, I*m still getting use to working a "real" job. I didn*t work at Staples today but i did moms errands this morning. She didn*t call me until 12:30! I was relaxing plotting out my day then she called, shes paying me too so i didnt say no. We had our EMS auxiliary meeting again tonight, it went well. Although we dont have a lot of people to cover the Lake Donna even for Saturday {I*m working at staples until 8 because of inventory} so we are still trying to get all that taken care of.

A Day of Latte's

Today is going to be another long day & again, I*m not sleepy at all. I*m really excited more than anything. I*ve been sitting around thinking about different components & since I*ve got a job now i can get more stuff. MUAHAHA!! :D I find myself pondering in things that would usually scare me away. I*m ready for a change though. I*ve been on the zipper pouch kick because they come in handy, I*ve made myself & friends a bunch, so many that i had to oil my sewing machine. Speaking of zipper pouches, i got around to making one today. I*ll post it later this afternoon when i get home & take photo's. I*m running moms errands again in the morning at 8am while she works, then i have to be at Staples at 10:45am to fill out my paperwork & maybe do a little training. Ryan*s also going to give me my hours for next week, i think i have like 4 days? We went over it a little today when i went in to buy a bubble envelope & to give him the days i needed off :P He said "your not even on payroll until Friday & you come to me wanting 5 days off already?" I just smiled & he shook his head, he knows how i operate. I have the bands coming to Lake Donna on the 16th with the EMS Auxiliary team. Ryan said if he puts me in the copy center it will keep me occupied & since i talk to everyone i can talk them into stuff they dont need {he only half hearted meant that} to improve our monthly quota. Needless to say I*m going to need a venti white chocolate mocha from Starbucks to accomplish all that needs to be done today. Wish me luck!

Falling Into The Season Bracelet

Last night was our birthday & it was a good one. We all met at mom & dads & had a little cookie cake { by a little i mean a lot} had & did the gift exchange then we all relocated to the Olive Garden. We drank 4 1/2 bottles of wine {between the 20 of us, is that bad?} & we all had the best food, we were there for like 3 hours. yummy! Today whoever, hehe I*ve wanted to go back to sleep since 8am this morning when i heard the super Mario theme to wake me up. Last night i had a guy {one of my brother's friends} ask for some kosher eye drops. I was like huh? He said his mom told him when he was younger that eye drops were dolphin tears. I looked at him all funny & was like "why would they be making the dolphins cry?"

My computer has picked a virus from one of the songs i tried to download so Justin is going to be wiping it clean sometime soon. If i am not around that is why, it wont take any longer than a day maybe 2. He is quick because he knows i need it & because he knows he wont be playing video games without me having my laptop.

New Zipper pouch & Birthday's

Since Thursday is my birthday, my birthday wish is to have 175 sales! With this little notion i'm toying with I*ll be giving anyone who makes a purchase a free gift until i reach 175. Me & my twin brother have decided to have a get together at the Olive Garden. Last year we went and we had 30 people show up, needless to say we totally took over the back section. This is a week of birthday's in my family. My cousin Chris had his today & my aunts is tomorrow, with ours on Thursday, & My aunt's daughter's on the 23rd. Yeah...tell me about it...

I added a new zipper pouch too. It*s the last one because i have ran out of fabric. I made myself one when i first got it & everyone loves it! It*s so bright & so crisp, it's one of my favorites. The Fabric is Amy Butler's Lotus collection & the pattern is Tree Peony. It's beautiful.

Monday is here

I don't have to work today so Me & Roo are watching James & The Giant Peach. Everyone was talking about it on Thanksgiving & i wanted to watch it. So i got on the trusty netflix account and found it. Justin wont watch it with me because he doesn't like spider's so it*s just me & Roo while he is at work. We have also been watching Jericho. I didn't like it at first but after a few episodes i can't get enough. Once we finish one I*m like another one another one. Now that the characters are drawn & the plot is a little settled i like it. I went to my brother's house yesterday because he got me a SC Myrtle Beach sticker. Since i can't wait to give gifts i gave him his birthday stuff i got home. Other than that, its a pretty regular day. hehe i wont be surprised if i take a nap soon.

Christmas Is Coming...

Christmas is 25 days away, are you prepared? I*m holding a cyber sale through Monday. As are a lot of people. I*ve done most of my shopping. I*m meeting my brother tomorrow to get my sticker from Myrtle beach & to give him our birthday stuff. Our birthday isn't until Dec. 18th but i can never wait that long. I get so excited when i give gifts. I got him some Newcastle Beer soap. It is his favorite beer so why not right? I also made him an Avendge sevenfold key chain. Mom asked what he wanted & i told her i had no idea, i don't go off what he wants {because i could careless} so i go by whatever screams *KEVIN*. It hasn't steered me wrong yet. I*ve had one of those days where everything is catching up at once so I*ve been in a BLAH mood today. With us being twins naturally he called about 2pm from the beack asking me if everything was ok, i said it was alright & he said i needed to cheer up because i was bringing him down. haha, i hate when that happens. The last time he was in a bad mood i went from so hyper i dont know what to do with myself to boohoo in no time. So i had to call him & tell him the same. My mom thinks its cool but our friends think it's weird. I haven't noticed until the last few days how much i miss mom & dad's house. I feel so comfortable there - raiding the cabinets & falling asleep on the couch listing to the fireplace crackle. Maybe it's just me in my rough patch but i miss "home".

Faerie Majikk & New Items

This is the beautiful work of FaerieMajikk. She says even though she is an adult she still finds a lot of wonder and magic in the world of Fantasy, as do a lt of us. It*s always fun to think about. She also says everything she does has been self-taught which is a great achievement, learning new things through trial and error is much more satisfying than being told what will and won't work even before they are put into practice.You can tell she loves what she is into & what she does with just one look at her art.

Treasury Time!

Good morning! Since Justin worked late last night & so did my brother i decided to go hand out candy at my moms house. There were so many little cuties. I didn't dress up this year because i saw no reason to. My brother's roommates were having a Halloween party but with my brother working until 1am this morning i didn't see it fit to go without him. I also saw my god daughter for a little while last night, she was a sheep! She is so cute. She didn't get any candy because she is only 6 months old. I got home and watched The nightmare before Christmas. I love that movie. When Justin got home i was in a crafty mood so i let him play video games while i plotted my strategy for some new creations.

I*m in 2 treasuries which are awesome! I*m trying to snag one while i promote. I haven't made one in awhile so i just thought it would be fun. I*ve book marked some sites & forums that look fun to join so I think I*ll be checking those out today. I also got a treasury SEEEEE.

Consignments Preview

I went to bed around 3am this morning to get up at 8am to go to work. I can't sleep at night anymore. I*ve constantly got something running through my head & i have to get up & write it down. If it's not craft stuff then it's stressing over something that may or may not matter. I*ve turned my mother into my personal therapist. :P So with her advice i decided to lift my head & break down the walls around me. I*ve decided to do something totally by myself without having to worry who it is going to inconvenience. I get restless when I*m in a place for long periods of time. I can't go through a weekend where I*m in the apartment the entire time. This has became my favorite time of the year & it*s to beautiful to not be enjoying it. Not everyone shares my passion for life & i understand that but i got a 2nd chance & i want to make the most of it. That makes sense right? Life was simple when we thought boys had cooties! {End Rant ;)}

My consignment bracelets were supposed to be in West Palm Beach Fl on Nov.1st but i got an e-mail tonight saying i have another month if i need it because the shop owner is pushing back the date to Dec. 1st. I*ve only had time to do 3 bracelets because of bills & yada yada. That excites me because i have so many idea's & I*ve got more supplies on the way. These are what i have so far.

October Recap!

I thought i would do a recap of October. It was a busy month as far as trying new things & adding new pieces go. I*ve had a lot of fun & met a lot of really nice people this month. I also wanted to take a second to thank everyone who helped me meet my goal for October! I*m starting to venture into new elements & it's fun experimenting i must admit. I*m thinking of doing a contest soon, i was wondering if anyone would want to donate some items & I*d stretch out the giveaway through the weeks. If anyone is interested please leave a comment & I*ll get back to you. I think it will be a lot of fun. Here is what has been added throughout October!

I*ve also joined twitter!! Anyone care to join me?

Beautiful New Bracelet For Grabs!

I added a new bracelet. It*s so beautiful! This is the charm i got from a funky new shop i found at the mall yesterday. The place is called Francesca's Collections. In the shop I*ve noticed they have charms, wall art, a load of clothes & shoes. They don't have the charms & wall art on the website but if there is a store near you, you should go! The bracelet is beautiful.

It has been really windy & cold since last night. I*m so excited that winter was coming / here. We ate dinner at Justin's parents Sunday night with Justin's grandparents. Justin's mom's birthday is Wednesday so we are all going out to eat since his grandparents are in town. Thursday is his granddad's birthday, so we are going out to eat Thursday night too.

Easy Like, Monday Morning.

Justin & I went to bed really late this morning around 3:15am. I woke up at 9:45am to get some things done. I had to get a bracelet for a bracelet i sold a few days ago to ship it off with some other things. When i got back Justin was getting ready to take a shower so i packaged a few more things waiting for him. We decided to go to Ihop to eat because neither of us have been there in forever. Justin over ordered like he always does so he didn't eat his hamburger & fri's. {he got eggs & pancakes too, he was torn between breakfast or lunch.} We were leaving & there was a homeless man sitting under a tree just looking around so i handed Justin his left over food & told him to take it to the man. I*ve had a strange couple of day's so i decided to cease the moment & do something nice. After we left we were on our way to the mall to get something for Justin's moms birthday which is Wednesday. They have a lot of new shops that have only been there a few weeks with some very awesome finds! Since rent is due next week i couldn't get anything, i found a secret stash of beads & what nots though. :X We have been really productive since it's only 3:30. On the way home i noticed the clouds in the sky looked strange. I think they looked pretty cool.

Lessons In Blythe

I know there are a lot of people out there with Blythe's. I intend to get one soon. {if i can stop buying clothes & things} These dolls are getting more popular these days. They are so cool with their different colored eyes & the many different things you can do to customize them as your own. I*ve also noticed that almost all of them have more personality than some people. Hints why I*ve created my new sticker set. These can be put on anything you*d like. Let it be known your Blythe has more personality!


I*m gathering up supplies for new idea's that wont stop running through my crowded cranium. You*ll be seeing those next month. As of this month i dont know if any new items will be added. :o) I overspent & now i have to save up a little bit more than a lot of money for rent due next week. You know how it is! This is why I*m having my weekend sale.

Water Works!

I didn't really think it made a different for the soft drinks you drink, i*ve been drinking green tea with citrus & water for the past few days & I*ve lost 3lbs. I noticed this morning {when mom asked} if i was jogging. {I thought about it. :P} But i told her i*d changed my drinking habits. Last week when i went with my brother to the mall & he got a water instead of a soft drink i asked why he opted for water. He said it's all he drinks, well that and beer. He*s always been really skinny though i just thought he worked out. {That was squished on Saturday when i showed up at 2pm & he was in his jammies laying on the couch eating a huge Arby's sandwich with Arby's sauce all over his face.} Mom & I have a quiet week this week so I*m going to try to get some things done. I*m trying to save money to get a sewing machine. I know they are expensive, does anyone have any suggestions? A basic one would be nice but then again I*m wondering if i get a little complex i want it to be able to handle it too.

I*m going to have to look for scarfs because its starting to get chilly.

Random Ramble

Today has been dragging on forever! Have youever had one of those days? We*ve done a lot of nothing all day though which has been awesome, i even took an hour 1/2 to take a nap. I as going to get started on the charms I*m sending for the Out Of The Box Sampler but i ran out of clay. It smells like pumpkin pie in here though, yum yum!! I did manage to get 4 done. heh, i need to order more business cards too. I*ve got a few more left but i wont have any by the time i get these charms done. I am sad to say though - the resin piece i tried last night didnt work as i planned & it*s ok. I can't expect everything to go right all the time. I don't really have a point to day's random ramble but i just thought I*d update because I*m in a talkative mood & Justin is playing video games. I*m going to play with Ruppert, i know he will hang out & watch some tv with me. I hope everyone had a good weekend!
