Please Read Before Linking Up
Thank you so much for coming today to link up to New Friend Friday. We've had such a GREAT response and we are truly blessed. However, there are a few reminders I want to put out there:

• Family Friendly Sites only please. The past few weeks we've had to delete a site or 2 that was inappropriate. I hate to be the blog police but I really want to maintain the integrity of this blog and Tara and I are in agreement on this.
• Please link to your home page (example: http://thegirlcreative.blogspot.com). Last week we had over 88 entries that were for parties, crafts, etc. I know this is a common mistake so no worries. :)
• Remember to leave meaningful comments on the blog before and after you in the list. That's what this party is about. :) It's not about gaining the most followers or asking people to follow back. It's about visiting at least the blog before and after you (and as many as you want after that) and leaving comments and making friends.

Okay, this is hopefully the last time I have to spend time on this. I'd rather just PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

The idea behind this blog hop is very simple - click around & show some LOVE (via comments!) to your fellow bloggers! Following is NOT required, the only thing I ask is that you follow the host (me! for now anyways!) and follow the featured blogger in the #2 spot.

To join in on the fun, link up your blog via your own "Where's The Love Friday/Follow Friday" post, & try to visit at least 2 bloggers on the linky & show them where the love is! The linky will be open from Friday-Sunday every week!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This week I am breaking my own rules & featuring TWO bloggers! Both of these ladies were the FIRST to link up with Where's The Love Friday (even when I started it on a Sunday) & I really enjoy reading their blogs daily!

First up is Kendra Diaries!

Kendra is SUCH a sweet girl with not only one of the cutest little munchkins around, but her blog is by far one of my FAVORITES design wise!

Next up is Southern Reflections!

I have only been following Southern Reflections for a short while, but her blog is seriously one of the most uplifting, positive blogs I have read! I look forward to reading her posts!

Be sure to check out these blogs & follow these ladies - you would be crazy to miss out on what they have to offer! =)

Just a friendly reminder too before you all link up - please keep Where's The Love Friday to blog links only. This is not for giveaways or to promote anything other than your blog itself! I let it slide last week, but if a giveaway is linked up from now on, I will be removing it. Not to be a bitch or anything lol, but there are PLENTY of giveaway linkys out there & that's not my goal with Where's The Love Friday! My goal is simply to share the bloggy love via comments - so if you like that idea, link up your BLOG! =)

Happy Friday Everyone! ♥

Happy Tuesday!

I have decided i'm going to cook tonight. I wanted something homemade since i've been taking my lunch everyday to work & i usually make it the night before so it sits in the fridge overnight until i eat it the next day, ya can't do that with everything, So today i'm making chicken cordon bleu with long grain rice & a nice salad. Tomorrow i'm thinking about doing some homemade spaghetti & meatballs. My ex's mom taught me how to make spaghetti noodles so why not do it? I love moms chicken cordon bleu & i use her recipe.

I'm toying with the idea of opening a graphic design shop on etsy too. I do it all day at work & i love it. Plus i'd be able to give lower prices than other named brand print companies with the same quality (if not better). Now a days every dollar saved helps in 1 way or another. I'll be offering business cards & 125 x 125 - 150 x 150 pixel badges to start off. I'll also be doing invitations, brochures (both color & black & white), letterheads, & envelopes a little later. I'll also be taking custom order's a little down the road. So please stay tuned. I'll be adding more to Unique Charm as well. I haven't had a lot of time to get out to the craft & bead stores, by the time i get off work i'm exhausted.

How is everyone's week progressing?

Today is also "Follow Me Tuesday" & i wanna follow you!

Hello Elegance!

Ok, i lied...I relisted the "Elegance in Periwinkle earrings" today! They're so pretty i couldn't help it! I also made myself a pair this time. I made another pair of elegant earrings too but my laptop wont read my camera card so i will have to post those tomorrow when i get home from work.

These earrings are gorgeous! These are sterling silver earrings on sterling silver ear wires. Encrusted with crystallized Swarovski crystals.

Earrings measure 1" x 1"

This pair will come in a organza pouch

On another note, I'm doing a giveaway!! I'll be doing one EVERY month until Christmas. I'm planning to try to do a big one for Christmas. There are a few different ways to get extra credit for the giveaway. I*m excited about it & i know you guys will love it!

Feature Friday! ♥

Show some love to these great goodies! This weeks theme is none other than July 4th inspired pieces. July 4th makes everyone smile because of the bright colors & the warmth of family, & because we got our independence.

This is DaydreamBeadlover, She has a lot of excellent pieces just like this 1 in her etsy shop!

These yummies are up for grabs at champagnechocolate. They're homemade red, white, & blue marshmallows! Roast these by a bon fire?
More goodies to feast your eyes upon. LizzieJeans sugar cookies are all dressed up & ready for your party!

I hope everyone has a safe & happy July 4th!

Beautiful day & Dragonflies

Today was a beautiful day, i finally got Internet up & running. I think the vaca did me good. I*ve got new idea*s & I*m still working on new designs. I put this little cutie together over the weekend. It*s going to be around for a limited time. It is gorgeous! You*ll make someones day if your looking for a birthday gift or just to treat yourself for under $20.

(click the photo to see the listing)

Since it was pretty outside i planted some flowers around the well house & the tree in the front yard. I*m thinking about working with a local landscaper to help me plot out the layout of the land of the house mom & dad are fixing up in Youngsville. We*re looking for new cabinets for the house & a new vanity.

I hope everyone had a good Memorial Day! How was it?

FINALLY! I*m back (for good)

Hello again everyone! I*m back for good this time, i promise. Things have been really slow around here lately. I lost my full time job so i got a part time job at Bath & Body Works (love it!) & I*m still getting everything ready to go back to school. I was going to take summer classes but decided to put that on hold til the fall. I*ll be going full time when i start & i cant wait! I*m going to be a pastry chef. How exciting..

My cousin Chris got married to Heather on Saturday. It was beautiful & on the beach. I think they are the happiest couple I*ve ever seen in my life! They are curently in Aruba for their honeymoon & we pray they make it back safe.
I*ll be doing a feature this week as well so I*m off to find new talents! Whats new with everyone around here? I*d love to hear from you guys!

I'll be back soon!!

Hello there! It has been awhile huh? I just wanted to let everyone know I'll be adding some new items by the middle of next week. I'm gathering everything together to get up next week. I will be adding a few screen print designs. I'm playing around with screen printing & I love it. As always the items I put up are limited editions, some of the items will be back but some may not. I got rid of UniqueCharm.net. I'm open for advice on new promo's for the shop & help to get back in the swing of things, I'd love any input anyone would like to spare.

*NOTE: My paypal account got hacked so as of right now I'll only be taking personal checks & money orders as forms of payment.
Check out the new Unique Charm!

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!

HEY you there! :P Before you leave, please take the poll? Thank ya!

I need your help

I am entirely to tired for 1:30am! I didn*t really do anything yesterday during the day. I spent the night with my cousin Candace Tuesday night & i didnt really sleep good, so i made up for it yesterday. I also got 2 new fabrics yesterday & when i got home i remembered i already have 2 other zipper pouches i want to make. I intend on making those today, if i do I*ll post them here.

I*m thinking of doing a giveaway, it wont be for another few weeks. I*ve got to get myself back on a schedule. Until then I*m pretty useless. If i was to give something away, what would you guys want it to be? Since you*d be the ones willing to enter I want it to be something you*d want. It would help me bunches if you*d leave me a comment to let me know.

New listings for all to see!

I added 2 new zipper pouches today! Check them out. You can visit the etsy listings or go to the website if you dont have an etsy account. Keep a look out for more zipper pouches later this week.

On a personal note: IM NO LONGER UNEMPLOYEED! Yup, my old boss called me today asking if i wanted my job back. He said he had a spot open for cashier or the copy center { It*s Staples}. He told me he*d hold off on hiring anyone for the cashier position since i wanted to the Copy Center position & while i was training for the copy center he would give me a few cashier shifts to make some money. :D We went to my cousins house last night & watched "Bride Wars". It was so cute, if you have a chance you should see it.

How has your day been thus far?

Spring Features ♥

I was wondering around etsy looking for some color now that spring is here & it*s time to come outta the shell. I found some really neat things! I wanted to take a second to share a few of them with you guys. You should check them out, they are so full of color, they will definitely get you out of the winter.

Looking through the glass

I*m going to try to get some things done tomorrow. I*ve been up since 6:30am {couldnt sleep anymore} & i met Candace at 8:30am to be at the Relay for Life at 9 to help paint faces. We had a good time, it was such a pretty day all day. There where a few clouds but nothing to spoil anything & it didnt rain. We also had a birthday party for my naana, whos real birthday isnt until tomorrow. Candace made butterfly cupcakes for the event {Steven helped although he dont wanna admit it}. For those of you who dont know we have 5 sets of twins in our family { the first set starting with my brother & I}. I took a picture of Sarah & Caitlyn doing what they do, do you know who is who? To everyone else it*s so hard for them but if you know them on a personal level they are 2 TOTALLY different people. Candace is 10 years older than them & I am 9 years older so since the day they were born we picked one to help take care of {like Julie & Joanna did with me & Kevin}. She picked Sarah & I picked Caitlyn. Sarah is so much like Candace & Caitlyn is so much like me. Caitlyn is funny, spontaneous, creative, truthful & loud {just like me} Sarah is the medium opposite but she is really funny too. Some things they say & their mom will look at one of us like "i knew you had something to do with that". Caitlyn has no problem speaking her mind but Sarah gives a lot of thought into what she says.
I will do features next week but i just wanted to take a day to recognize my family, they read my blog & they*ve never said anything about it. Things change from day to day & ya never know if that day is going to be your last. I*ve lost 2 best friends, a close friend & an uncle recently. Just make sure your family & friends know how much they mean to you & thank them for what they do for ya.

Yay for fabric!

I*ve been sitting around the house all day, i need to get all my stuff off my floor & hang my clothes up & get them in my closet. It*s beautiful outside & I*ve had the window open all day, it*s getting hotter though. I*ve been in a fairly creative mood today. I made my first key chain. It*s a snarky smiley face. :P I had to sacrifice a throw pillow to stuff it though. I*ll post the picture when i add his ring.

I pulled out some fabric ive been holding out on forever & I*m going to attempt a new way to make zipper pouches. Mom bought me an awesome sewing machine for Christmas & I*ve been scared to play with it. I did do the few pouches i have listed but it was nerve racking because if i cut my felt it wouldn't fit into the pouch. Today im being adventurous, whats the worst that can happen? I*ll just have to cut a few stitches out. Hopefully these little cuties will make it into the etsy shop & UC.net. I*ll only have 1 kitty pouch though, i made my little cousin a pencil pouch when i got the fabric.

A day of procrastination

I re listed a few things this morning. I*m going to try to get some sewing done this evening so hopefully I can add those in a day or so. It sucks through because i have to use my cell phone camera, i may have to wait until tomorrow morning to take the photo's. I have been going none stop since i moved & it feels so good to sit down & take a minute to relax. I downloaded a few songs I*ve been wanting & I*m thinking of re doing the playlists on the ipod. I*ve got 500 some odd songs & my ipod only plays the ones it likes. I found this one song by "FM Static" called "Tonight" & i LOVE it! I*m always asking around but if anyone has a song i should take a listen to please feel free to leave it in my comments & I*ll give it a try.

Good Morning World!

I*ve been MIA for awhile & I*ve had time to recharge my batteries. I*m just now getting everything back together because i moved to Wakefield again. Justin & I havent been together since January & I*ve had a lot of time to myself. I*ve learned who i am & I*m so happy now. Justin & I have a mutual agreement that we are better as friends. I*m going to get my blog & everything up & running again. I*ll be doing some features next week too, I*ll also be making some new creations to post next week. I*ve gotta figure out what to do about my camera situation though. I need a new camera card i think, it maybe my laptop that cant find the cards. My laptop wont find my card or Justins card. I could use my cellphone but thats going to be terribile. If anyone knows some way i can tweak it please leave me a comment, it would be so helpful!

My cousin & her boyfriend went to the "Knights of Lights" in Rockingham this week & i told them I*d babysit Daisy & Nine {their doggies} Nine doesnt like anyone but she has warmed up to me the last few weeks, it was cool i let them out this morning & let Daisy in & Nine out for about an hour then went back at 8pm to let them out & feed them & the fish.

I*m back!

It has been so long! Now I*m back in full swing! I took a break for a little while but now I*m back. I*ve cleared out all the old baggage & have found myself again. I*ll be adding a few new items in a week or so, still trying to get moved into the new house. Check out the website & for the etsy fans check me out here too.

We did the Christmas thing at my Granny's house on Saturday. { i forgot my camera, we were late as always} I had to stop by and scoop up my brother then drive an hour to her house. He has an 80gig ipod {ass :O)} so he has 2,000 some odd songs for us to listen to. lol he has an assortment from Elvis to the Racketteers. I found a few new songs i wanted to get from him & some from way back when. Has anyone ever heard of Apocalyptica? Apacalyptica is a finnish cell metal band. They did a song with Three day's grace's lead singer Adam Gonteir & nailed it! "Their latest single, "I Don't Care" featuring Adam Gontier of Three Days Grace, has landed at #1 on the BDS and Mediabase Active Rock radio charts" Apocalyptica feat. Adam Gontier - Music video {slightly provocative}.

Look who else caught the Christmas Spirit!
Roo is feeling a little festive too.
