I*m sitting here watching the new Dane Cook: isolated incident on comedy centeral & I*m so tired. I was doing a little surfing and i found some awesome new supplies! So there will be new jewelry coming very soon. Jay asked me to make him a necklace so I*ll be doing that on thursday. I dont really make guy jewelry but i do a little for my brother so i thought I*d make Jay one on Thursday. I*m going to be doing a little more elegant jewelry. I*m coming out of my comfort zone & diving in, it doesnt help to be scared all the time right? Please stay tued for updates next week. I*m trying to get everything together to promote & make new things. I*m going to hold off on the zipper pouches for a few weeks. I was looking at new beads & what not & i figured out how much i missed my jewelry making!
I haven't decided if we are going to the beach or not. Everyone still wants to but its supposed to rain & i dont want to camp in the rain ya know. I haven't updated in a few days because i have been spending a lot of time at Jay*s. His little nieces are so precious! I didnt feel good Sunday so Skyler & Jay layed on the couch with me & watched "meet the Robinsons", well Skyler did, jay fell asleep. I woke up beside him this morning & he was so sweet, it was a beautiful morning. :)

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.

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.

No internet yet.
Hey you guys. I moved out of the apartment with Justin so i dont have internet yet. I will be back soon. I hope everyone has a happy new year! Roo & I are getting adjusted at my mom & dads. He is getting use to Punkin & Alexis {mom & dads dogs}. Hopefully we will be hearing from the time warner people ASAP. :P

Free time is exhausting
I have a ton of free time now that i have no extra money to spend on my crafty little hobby. I*ll be adding a bunch of new things after New Years though. I have to be restricted for the month because of the ticket i still have to pay. I*m the one who pays rent & Justin pays everything else, i have a slightly bigger half than he does though. I actually made dinner tonight! I*m embarrassed to say..tonight was the first night ive ever made chicken! I baked it, i*m finding since I*m not working as much and eating all the junk food i*m eating - it may start catching up soon. 
Mom got me a MAC makeup kit forever ago & i have yet to break into it. I*m not really much for a lot of make up, i only wear mascara & eye liner. I was last night so i decided to visit youtube for a eye make up tut {sad - i know} & found a cool one. It*s the one for "smokey" eyes. I thought it looked good considering i had no make up brushes to use { i used them as paint brushes} I took a photo but it only shows it a little. As everyone can tell by now, I*m not the best photo takerer.
I was thinking about it today & i want to go to the gym. We have one in our apartment complex that is HUGE but my mom or Justin doesn't want me going by myself. {if anyone got me, they wouldn't keep me long, my brother says im aggravating. PFF!} There's a sub division in Wakefield that Justin & I lived in when we first moved in with each other that I*m thinking of treking. We know a lot of people from there & there are a lot of cars always crusing through, plus I*ll have my big stick. :O)

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!

My 2 cents..
With my 2nd venture into resin, i casted a few things that didn't make it. *R.I.P* innocent little teddy grams! I did however make a pendant. I thought it wasnt going to turn out because i was looking at it through the bottom of the mold & it looked a skewed, maybe because i didn have in my contacts..hmm..now i wonder if i was looking at it at all? tehehe!! I call it my 2 cents pendant. The star pendant includes 2 really shiny pennies & some red & gold glitter. I thought it would enchance the color of the copper pennies. The star pendant is 1.5" from top point to bottom point & a little shy of 2"w from left point to right point. It*s so cool! I*m really proud of this one, as it is my first try at embedding items. I think resin & i are going to be really good friends. I*ll be adding it soon to etsy but as of right now it can only be found at www.UniqueCharm.net.

Resin & redecoration
So i tried some resin casting last night, i was so excited to see how it turned out. Although i knew it would probley bomb because this was the first time I*d ever tried it & i eyeballed the measurements. All day i thought about how they*d turn out, or if they*d even come out of the molds. When i got home i ate & i decided to try my hand at taking them out. To my surprise it was really easy. Thus another set of hair pins where born. I made a few sets so therefore i kept a set for myself. I tried casting somethings a little while ago but it seems i need more practice with that because they didnt work. BUT i did make a new batch of something :X :P You*ll see tomorrow night if all goes well.

Burn It Down. ;P
I was totally exhausted when i got home from work this afternoon. Today Justin was off work so he woke up around 2pm i got home at 4pm & did a few house chores then laid on the couch & took a nap while he played video games. I*m excited! I*ve made a hair appointment for tomorrow I*m thinking of trying a shorter do? I think it could be fun. For some reason I*m in total revamp for myself & the apartment. I*m painting our room & maybe doing the bathroom as well. I*m going either tomorrow or Saturday to get paint swatches. I can't decide what color i want though. We are doing an accent wall in the dinning room. I want it to be like a burgundy color because that way it*ll match everything I*m putting in it. :P I*m tired of looking at the same stuff ya know? I*m going to move the dinning room around a little & put some of the extra stuff {i.e filing cabinets} in our room under the desk {where it belongs}. I don*t want to move my craft bins in our room because i dont want Roo getting into them & getting hurt. I*d be so hurt if i let him out & he got into my clay or something.
I*m trying to come up with a new line to add for the middle of next week. I have SO many idea's but i*m a little short on a HUGE tool i need. So, I*ve decided to try & improvise. We shall see how that goes in a few days when i try. If it fails then I*ll have to wait just a little longer. Since I*m adding an item a day {for a few days} here is today's item.
PS- Please take my poll!! I*m curious to see what you have to say. After all, i am making these to appeal to you. I don't want you feeling stuck with a design you don't like.

Sway
Justin was off all weekend but we really didn*t do anything. Last night we had all intentions of seeing a late movie but drove all the way to the theater & decided since it was pretty outside we*d go get ice cream & walk the square. All i had was my phone to take photo's because we had no idea we would be out & about. I love our phones though. We have the Sony Ericsson w580i's. Justin is black & orange & mine is pink. {of course} They have the sharpest camera's available & they are so clear. We got the 1 gig memory stick's, so i have 325 songs in rotation on the mp3 player. :P LOVE IT! We walked & talked & ended up going to Old Navy for a little shopping. They were having the $14.92 sale all weekend. Woohoo!! I*m so glad we are caught up on everything now. I*m also contemplating a new line for Unique Charm. :P {The panoramic view of the square. I had to make them small for the full effect. You can click them for the bigger picture.}
In other news, we maybe adding an additional member to our little "family". Justin & I were thinking about it & even though Ruppert {aka Roo} is a lot of work to keep up with {mainly because he is spoild} we thought about getting him a little buddy. It would be a boy of course because i can in no way raise little baby chinchilla's. We were thinking of naming the little guy "Peeka". If you've seen how chinchilla's sleep when they are standing up they look like PeekaChew. {the pokemon guy} We haven't fully made a decision yet because the little guys have went way up since we got Roo. We will keep you informed! Meanwhile, here are new pictures of king fuzzy face.
All up in my business, as usual. He has separation anxiety some times.

Feeling A Little Better..
I havent been feeling good the past 2 days, but i did do my entrecard drops & my link referral stuff to keep myself visible. I was in the forums for a few minutes last night & i noticed, whenever people see something that is new they sort of try to bash it to see if anyone else jumps on board. Everyone has their own opinion we know that. I thought getting your name out there was a good thing? Oh well..
I*m coming up with new ring idea's so you*ll be see's those pretty soon. I*m waiting on my sterling silver wire to arrive. I order's a ton of wrongs beads (i blame the coffee to hyper to focus) so I*ve got to come up with a new design. I*ve been really busy lately but i do plan on adding more items soon. I know i need to stock up on rings, bracelet's, & earrings. I took a moment off to explore other options. It was fun & I*ll keep doing it but i started off with charms and jewelry & i need to stick with that.
I did do some custom order hair clips. They were for my little cousin's dance rehearsal. She was so graceful, unlike myself. It was also the time to test the durability of the clips. The twirled, spun, & jumped and the clips didn*t move at all. :P That's what i like to see. Here are her little clips.
I also have these if your in need of hair clips. You can also find these on www.UniqueCharm.net
I made a new ring, but I made 2 of the same one. They are super cute! They are not up on etsy or .net yet because the pictures are not up to par. I was so excited i didn*t want to wait! I*ll be re-taking pictures tomorrow & then I*ll add them. But You can Get a sneak peek now!
These ring starts as a size 4 1/2 finger BUT here is the excellent part. It adjusts to all fingers above 4 1/2 as well. It is made of 3mm sterling silver round beads & a Swarovski specialty. Are you diggin it?♡UniqueCharm Sale's♡

Two Days At The Zoo
We left on Friday to be with my family for my uncle. They are having a few issues of how they*d like to proceed. They are going to wait until Monday to sort it all out. :[ I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who sent me e-mails & left me messages. It really helped out a lot & means a lot!
Feel free to see the other photo's that were taken HEREI opted for water instead of soft drinks & i felt excellent. I*m excited about this new healthy kick I*m on. I*m 5'4 & weigh 109lbs but I*m trying to stay in shape. A few months ago when my car was wrecked i had nothing to do but sit around & watch tv. I felt like crap all the time until recently. I*m not on a diet, don*t get me wrong! My family is all upset because "Leslie is on a diet, she's trying to loose weight. She needs to snap out of it" Since I*m almost 24 & i*m looking further into my life I*m seeing that the more i progress it*s going to be harder for me to stay in shape. That's all. So family members who are reading you can stop freaking out & find something else to have a cow about. Thanks! :P

Justin & I are trying to go to Washington in a month or so. ALL the proceeds from this is going into our Washington fund. He asked me where I*d like to go for a little get away & how long I*d want to go for. I*m rather impatient & since i want to go ASAP I told him only for a day. That's a lot of driving but i think it*ll be fun. Usually I*d say the beach, but i can get a tan right here at the pool, plus i dont want to leave Roo ( the chinchilla ) for to long. He*s like my fur baby.
I have a headache so I*m going to hang out & watch cartoons with Roo. Thanks for taking the time to read this & please vote :P
