But you do to me what you do

I always seem to start out my posts with how much time I DON'T have. So I wont. Not this time. Not now. Work has been going well. I adore my floor supervisor. She is always telling me what a great job I do. She makes me blush. I don't handle praise to well. I mean don't get me wrong I love to hear it but I feel strange when we are face to face and they say it more then once. Makes me blush. Am I the only one? I highly doubt it. Anyway point is I am glad things are going well. Sadly there isn't a day that goes by that I wish I could be doing what I truly love. I wish I could be creative for a living. Very hard to do that. Especially with a family to support. I haven't given up my dream tho of opening up my own store.

I haven't been able to cook much of anything new. I am hoping to get back into doing that soon. I have a ton of recipes on pinterest waiting for me to try. Feb. Gonna shoot for that.

CHA is coming up! I would LOVE to go and am trying. I don't think it is gonna happen tho. Not written in the stars for me this year. I have never been and it looks like tons of fun. Poo. Have you ever been?

My hubby's birthday was last weekend. We had a small get together at our house on Saturday and then Sunday I took him out to a movie and dinner.
This man.
This cake.
This movie.
This dinner.
It was lovely!

You play through my mind like a symphony

So I just downloaded the blogger app for my (totally awesome) iPhone 4s and am trying it out. Not sure how it's gonna work but so far not bad. If this works great it will mean way more posts from me!

So let's post a few pics. I found this great fabric at the thrift store for .75 and it is going to be my next hair bow.

Speaking of hair bows I never did share the ones I made for a friend. She was sad at work so I really wanted to try and do something nice. Here those are.

Oh and more hambly sneaks!!!

I hope my package comes in the mail soon so I can play!

I have a ton of valentines junk lined up for you all so make sure to come back for that!

* Just a note...I came back and polished a few things up on the computer but all in all its a pretty good app! I should be blogging more thanks to my iPhone! Hehehe!

Drops of Jupiter in her hair

Hiya! So it has been a while...Not proud of that but a working girl is having a hard time managing her time. I commute a hour every day on top of a 9 hour work day. Poo! When I get home I really just wanna sit and veg. I cant seem to move my body after running around all day. Not having 2 days off in a row really messes with me too. Ok ok enough with the excuses. I did manage to do some things. Creative type is up and ready for your spin. This is mine.
My resolutions for this year are to enjoy life. Try to not focus so much on the negative and more on the positive. It was a rough 2011 and an even rougher 2010 but I have faith that this year will be better. I love how happy Betty Paige looks in the pic I used. I adore her. I used a TON of hambly. Speaking of Hambly I have some sneaks for ya. The new collection coming out soon! I am sooo over the moon with how beautiful it is! I mean really! Cant wait to get my hands on it. Soon I will play!



Tell me what you think! What is your fav so far. I am loving the cha peeks. I adore hambly of course and really am loving CP and studio calico. What is your fav so far?

I am working on a TON of valentines day stuff. What have you been up to?

10 Random things about me...

1. I believe in magic

4.I got my love of craft from my mama

Your face to face with the man who sold the world

Hello everyone! I have some really happy news. I HAVE A JOB! Yay! It has finally happened and let me tell you not a moment to soon. It is a bit of a drive, the hours suck, and the days off are even more sucky, but it is a job! I am thankful, grateful, and everything else in between.

Of course that should tell you why the lack of posts. Not only the job but the fact that my laptop is no longer in working order doesn't help. I have to use my husbands desktop and me no likey! He is usually on it or my 16 year old. I hate the way I have to edit photos on it. I just cant seem to get them to look right anymore. Grrr! But hey I have a job! LOL! That means maybe soon I will have the money to get my laptop fixed...or better yet a iPad! Hahahaha! Yeah I wont hold my breath for that.

Anyway I have a little Christmas page to share with you. This is for Creative Type. You really need to go play along.

It is of me and the hubby. He truly is the best gift. He loves me so very much and I couldn't ask for a more loving and devoted husband. Lucky I am!

Working on some hambly goodness. Should be posted soon but for now a little peek.

Cuz its turkey to eat, so good

Happy Thanksgiving!!! I hope you stuffed yourself full of totally awesome food and had a wonderful day! Mine is barely beginning as I type this. Kids are in the living room fighting while playing LBP on the PS3. Hubby is snoring in bed and I am sitting here typing. This year started out great. I thought this was the year it was all going to turn around for me. Boy did it ever trick me. I did however grow as a person. It has been rough but I have survived. I just keep telling myself it could be worse. You all know that is my fav thing to say lol!

This day makes me forget the bad and realize how much I am truly blessed. My FB status says it so well...

"Giving thanks...I have been blessed with wonderful people in my life. My soul-mate who adores me just as much as I adore him and always makes my life better. Children that are healthy and make me laugh every day. A mother who loves me despite my faults and is always there for me. Cousins who are like my sisters and I can always talk to about anything. Sister who I love and cherish. Sis in laws that make me feel like we are blood. Aunt and uncle I love to hug. A father who wasn't always there but is making the effort now. AMAZING friends! I love you all very much!"

I have met so many beautiful people online. Friends that I hope I will grow old with. I made this page about 2 that I truly adore.

They don't judge me for what I DONT have. They lift me up when I feel down. They let me bitch and cry and whatever else I need to do. These two are FRIENDS. I will always see them as such and they will always have a special place in my heart.





What is a Thanksgiving day post without a black Friday sale to follow? Here you go my friends! Shop your little hearts out!
