Leyla's Invitations

I have been busy making my friend's little girl's birthday party invitiations! My friend saw some tags on my etsy and wanted to use them as her daughter's party invites! I'm so happy with how they came out! They were a lot of work for such a simple and cute design! The words were cut using my cricut and were 1/2 an inch and the y's kept on ripping and driving me crazy! I had to do a little of the words at a time or I would've gone crazy!! Lol!

Leyla also wanted a picture of Alice Cullen from Twilight made into tags for her candy bags! Those came out so cute! I found the same picture of Alice that she liked online and cropped the photo in CS3 and printed out a picture package of 2x3 inch photos and punched them with a tag punch! Those were super cute and she is SO excited!

I've also been working on some new stuff for my shop and working on homework! The Indie business class that Freckled Nest, Elsie, and Jill starts in a few days and I'm pretty excited about it!!

You can check out the new stuff in my shop by clicking the link on the left hand side!! I have to get back to some homework!! Toodles!

Can't Wait!!

I signed up for this Indie Business class on Elsie Flannigan's blog! The class starts in March and I'm pretty excited! Its a chance to seek advice from other people who have been successful in following their dreams and making them come true...


Most of the time I feel so isolated because there isn't anybody that I can talk to about what I like to do...where I live is very remote and people stick to themselves like everyone else has the plague! I'm very grateful that I have my phone and internet...I am still able to connect with my friends that live in different states and they keep me sane, but I still crave that social interaction with like minded people. Thats why I'm SO thankful there are people who keep interesting blogs!


My heart has always been in my crafting and photography hobbies! I still have a photgraphy business card I made up in grade school! Lol! I find it really hard to sit and read thru a medical text book all day, but give me a book about photohop techniques and I'll sit and read and play around in CS3 all day long. When I got my new camera I researched and read and took pictures all day long! I haven't been taking as many pictures as of late because I am stuck in this place where I feel guilty for following something that isn't making me any money when I should be going to school and getting a degree in something that doesn't interest me, but will make money.


I just want to go after something that will make me happy. This class is kind of my first step. I know it doesn't set anything in stone, but it'll be fun to see how the three girls that are teaching the class accomplished their goals.

My friend Diana awarded me this sweet blog award!! Thank you! I'm supposed to tell you 7 things you may not know about me!

1. I enjoy running! I'm not that good and I definitely don't have the body shape of a runner, but I keep getting better and better! I'm almost to the point where a mile run is a breeze!!

2. I LOVE Bollywood movies!!! I have a growing collection of movies...I love all the singing and the dancing and the gorgeous colors!!

3. I am genetically predisposed to collect junk! I love junk! My grandparents loved junk...kept a whole basement full of junk treasures that I loved to rummage thru whenever I visited!

4. I remember people by what type of dog they own...an example of this would be...

Chris: Do you remember Sgt such and such from unit blah blah blah back in germany?....Me: umm...oh ya she's the one with that really cute pekinese poodle chihuahua mix?

5. I have a growing collection of beanie babies with really huge eyes....because they remind me of my dog, Reyna...

6. I love road trips with just me and my two dogs!

7. I lived in Germany for three years! That was AWESOME!!!

A small update!

Hope everyone is having a good start of the work week! Its sunny and beautiful outside! Perfect weather to make a trip into town....I have to return the home charger for a phone I bought and then returned the next day because it just wasn't working out between the two of us! Lol! My phone is my best friend...my LIFE LINE!! I couldn't live out here without it!

I've updated my etsy shop with some cute Valentine's Day tags! There's only a few tags since its already so close to Vday...

The roses are handmade by me out of felt! They're so cute! I love the way they came out!

I think we are headed to Vegas for the four day weekend we have coming up! I'm ready to see my family...I always miss them so much! Have a great rest of the day!!
