Was just inspired


Sometimes I can get stuck on a blog zone and get so inspired by so many other talented people that I confess I don’t pull myself away! Tonight this turned out to be a good think though! But I really can get way to lost in them and spend too much time watching and learning instead of myself being creative or working on my blog that I have wanted and sorda worked on the past year! I need to work on this LOL but tonight I’m glad I did! On a bad Chiari day (since I don’t have any readers yet no need to get into that at the moment but do plan on discuss a lot to promote awareness but not tonight cause I will never get to the point of where my inspiration came from tonight LOL) it has been hard to get my brain and body on same page as what I want to do with my craft. That is about to change! But anyways Robin from my pink stamper has been a source of inspiration for me so many times and quickly became one of my favorite sources for tip with my cricut! But tonight it was more than the card or tips (did love it of course) but I can tell she is a much happier person and has recently made big decisions to make herself and family happy! That inspired me. I feel my life right now my life is also going to require some changes. Good ones that will make my family and me happy! So my goal is to take charge and unless I’m stuck in bed cause all the symptoms are going nuts I am going to spend more time doing what I love! I hope one day this blog will connect me to people who either share my passion for paper lol or have health issues and love to help people if possible! I was supposed to be working with children right now and that was what I was doing up until my illness took over but I’m taking my life back and still going to find ways to connect to people. So why not go for it? So glad I watched her video tonight!

Thinking of you card

My friend has had one hard year. It seems like the hits keep coming so in attempt to lift her spirits and get some card making time in I made her this card. My picture is from my phone and the lighting was really bright but I used DCWV paper and just punched some butterflies and a sticker I colored and put mod podge dimensional on the colored sticker. I really liked how it turned out. I need to practice stamping but other than that I like it. Really simple and I really want to start making more cards for more people.

not playing around this time

Instead of thinking about what I want my blog to be i'm going to do it! Rather I talk about crafting, opinions about certain things, my illness (which I will get to at some point) i'm going to do it. At the moment it is a very private place but can still relate to other people ether in crafting world or Chiari world (like i said i would explain it) I am embarrassing my new adult life. If someone doesn't like something about what I say or feel does it matter? (talking more like my grammar and spelling because if you become someone who reads my blog you will notice LOL) but I am going to give this blog my best. Something to hold me accountable for my  life. I am at a strange place in my adult life. I am 28, nope 29 hah and my life is not at all how I thought it would be but i'm okay with that. I love my family, friends, blogs, inspiration, but I am learning to be the adult after all 5 brain surgeries over the past few years because i'm at a point where i am stable thank God. God is great it could be a lot worse but I never planned on being a stay at home wife/mother. Nothing wrong with that at all but my plan was different. So becoming disabled and unable to work also more dependent on people than I would like to be. So this is where i'm going to document my life whatever it may be at the time =) Going to try to focus on the positive. I know there are times when something will come up probably being issues with my illness but not going to be mad at myself for that. I want to be able to do at least 3-4 post and hopefully share experiences, show my favorite craft things or craft failures lol but just my place in this world! K So plan is to stop thinking and do it! If for some random reason you have stopped here say hello!

spring wreath

I made this back in late March. I was wanting to do something with yarn after seeing all the yarn bombing projects on pinterest. I took a foam wreath and simply wrapped a few colors of yarn around. I used the Don Juan cartridge and Jasmine. Might have used another one or two but can't remember at moment. I added a few pieces of bling and called it a day. I still have it hanging but plan to make some summer things for it but I love the colors so I'm going to keep the colors the same. I love bright colors and works great for spring and summer.

Challenge’s I want to enter

I wanted to link up a some of the challenges that I want to enter in the next few days. http://dianamlarson.blogspot.com/2012/05/may-24-2012thursday-dlart-thankful.html
this one is anything goes so I'm thinking I'm going to knock out my fathers day cards and a thank you card so I'll use my favorite from those to enter in this challenge. The next challenge is on getting cricky blog which is one of my fave blogs! She loves owls and SO DO I! I am putting some money back for my craft stash to buy some of her stamps soon. The theme for this challenge is summertime. http://www.gettingcricky.com/2012/06/simply-sunday-challenge-summertime.html and not to take on to much but I also want to enter http://decoratetocelebrate.blogspot.com/2012/05/challenge-26-beach-party.html. The last is also a summer theme but they don't want cards or layouts more decorations you can use so I'm not sure what I'm going to do for that one but have to hurry cause the dead line for this is the 12th. Can't wait to get started so I think I'll work posting my old projects for my blog later and get started on these new ones! Can't wait till I can say "thanks for stopping by, leave a comment!" (hopefully soon I'll have readers =)

Don Juan/christmas ornaments


I made these ornaments last Christmas and loved doing it. It was one of the first things I made with my cricut that I was able to make for other people and sell a few! I seen other blogs where people used many different products to get the glitter to stay in the ornament. Something you should know about me is I am very cheap lol but when it comes to being crafty my husband is the cheap one ha ha. So instead of buying something to get the glitter to stay in the balls I used $1 hairspray. I put it in, swished  around and dumped the rest back in the bottle. 6 months later the glitter is still there and I think they turned out really good! I used the Don Juan cartridge for the font. So far it is my favorite font that I have. I will definitely be doing this project again this coming up Christmas. I have a lot of other colors and pics but since this is the second time posting anything on this blog not really sure what I am doing!

first post/first blog

I want a place where I can link up to all the challenges I have wanted to enter. I think it will be a great way for me to stay motivated and focused on one project at a time. I have a problem with getting to many ideas in mind and end up with little to show for it. Lets start of with me saying I am an addict. To many things; Pinterst, facebook, craft blogs, anything diy, my cricut, and reality shows! Probably leaving out a few of my addictions but I hope to be blogging long enough to show all of my addictions! I hope to have some followers one day and until that happens I will keep doing it and crafting away! thanks for stopping by!
