Insta-Friday (Saturday)

life rearranged

So pretty much last weekish has been devoted to doing shop stuff! I was super busy studying and doing homework for like 3 weeks straight - so I took some time to update the shop. So I am now working working working like a mad woman to get new things up this weekend before commencing with the crazy studying.

Craft Swap

Okay, the first craft swap I did got 5 total people plus myself... which is fine, because I think we all got amazing partners.  I am hoping to do another one soon - are you excited? I am! HAPPY MAIL DAY!

Hello Ladies!  Thank you all for participating in the craft swap - hope you had fun... I know I did!

So my partner was Christi Lynn over at http://www.lovechristilynn.com/, she also has an awesome Etsy Shop!

This is my sexy "I love, love, love this awesome headband/ear warmer" face - not only because it's green, but also because it's got a giant bow! SOOOO ME! Can't even tell you! (also, this picture only good because of the awesome headband, otherwise I'd look like a giant goober)

Also, these are adorable earrings - I didn't not include a photo of me wearing them because I didn't like them, but because the really pretty colors weren't showing up when the light hit them in my ears (mind you, it's night and it's fluorescent light)... but also, feathers, totally one of my fashion crushes!

It was definitely a happy mail day for me, especially when my dad came in with the mail and said "you got a package that looks like the ones you mail out for all your crafty stuff, is it more supplies"... NO DAD, it's a package of awesomeness!

Happy Monday!


So... Since I have been crazy busy with school... I thought I'd take a 5 minute break and give you some chuckles... if you don't find these funny, I apologize, and should not have spent that extra 10 minutes looking for funny things on Pinterest... also in the spirit of full disclosure, I should not have spent an hour today shopping for fabric - but I did get some amazing amazing things and you should be excited... since after my exam on Thursday I will begin my "post-exam" therapy by sewing... as well as finishing up the 4 blog designs I have on the books... and updating my "design portfolio".

So enough chatter... oh also, I missed the premier of Bones, super bummed... I will allot an hour of my time tomorrow while getting oil changed to watch it!


Sometimes all you need is a bum to make you focus (yeah right)






And that is all! Happy Pinning Studying... Happy Just Studying...

Blabbering

Hello lovelies!  So I've been personally MIA for a while, I know I've been blogging, but not about anything about myself - it's all been sponsor posts, link ups etc.

That being said - I am up, at 12:45 blogging despite crawling into bed almost 2 hours ago in an attempt to sleep! Don't you hate it when that happens? I worked a longer shift than usual today, came home worked on orders and new shop goodies, then I studied... and now I am still up.
{this is my week in a nut-shell} It's been super fun, caffeinated and full of highlighting!

Maybe it's because every time I close my eyes, I get all worried about school, and proceed to recite the amino acids to myself hoping I can remember all 20 of their names - after which I need to remember their chemical structures, then it's the enzymes and which amino acids they cut apart in proteins - it's way too complicated for my brain to figure out.

Now that I've sufficiently put you all to sleep... hehe. Stay posted there will be new things in the shop in a few weeks... I am (hopefully) doing a big product launch (of things already in the shop) in some fun new fabrics in about 2 weeks - granted, very soft deadline based on amount of studying I need to do... for now, shop is all on sale!

Also, at the end of the week check back for an awesome give away with a bunch of other bloggers and a blog design give away from me! Craziness, since I only have 4 in the works right now, might as well add to it!

Welcome all you new followers, hopefully you stick around after the give-away you entered is over, things get fun, crazy, wonky around here sometimes. Hopefully I'll have some awesome guest posts up soon, as well as some scrumptious recipes form yours truly.

Don't forget about the new weekend link up I'm doing called "The Saturday Challenge" -every week you can do something good for yourself, your fellow bloggers and a complete stranger!

Saturday/ Weekend Challenge

Welcome to the Saturday Challenge. Grab the code blow, post the link to your post in the area below and see the great things your fellow bloggers are doing!

Welcome to the fourth Saturday Challenge - join, or don't that's up to you - but I challenge you to do it...

Here's how it works, the Challenge is posted on Friday (or Saturday) and then you have a week to submit your link.. it's not called the Saturday Challenge because that's when you "have to do it", that's simply when it's put out there for you to being - by all means, don't let the fact that it's Tuesday prevent you from feeling good about helping people!


Today I Challenge You To...
1. Say something nice about 2 different people that you've met through blogging, shop ownership, etc..

 2. Do something nice for a complete stranger, doesn't have to be big or expensive.

 3. Say something good about yourself.

4. Say something good about someone in your family/immediate circle that you feel you don't say about them enough, if ever.

5. Treat yourself to something - a bubble bath, a coffee without distractions, something - just take time out for you.


6. What was the highlight of your week, share it with us!


Challenge Accepted!
1. Say something nice about 2 different people that you've met through blogging, shop ownership, etc..
Kara, at The Snuggly Ducking, is just the cutest girl. Plus she and I both lived in Baton Rouge while I was there, but we never met - total bummer, btw. Anyway, she is just so nice and spunky! Any time she posts something on Twitter or her blog its usually up-beat and positive, which is just so great!  You should go check her out.

Leigh-Ellen, Little Water Lily Big Pond. This woman has been amazing to me since day one. I don't remember how we "met" I feel it was through a give away or ad swap or something - but I am so happy we did. Since then it's been a constant back and forth of sponsor ship, support and give-aways. She is a great lady, who lives way up north in Canada... so if you're ever "oot and aboot" looking for a new blog friend, hit her up!

2. Do something nice for a complete stranger, doesn't have to be big or expensive.
Today when I go to Starbucks to study - I will buy the drink for the person behind me - which will be odd, since I will be in the line with them as opposed to just the drive-through, fun!

3. Say something good about yourself.
ooo, 4 weeks this is getting tough. Okay, simple one - I have a great smile. I love it. It makes me happy that people see my smile and smile back, also that's nice because I love to smile and I love to see other's smile.
--This is more effective in Reno or the South than in a big city like New York, they don't appreciate my smiles there, because it's the "land of no eye contact with strangers" - don't believe me? Make eye contact with and smile at a complete stranger on the 4 train and see what happens...

4. Say something good about someone in your family/immediate circle that you feel you don't say about them enough, if ever.
So my little brother, we give him a hard time because he struggles, in pretty much everything... but I know that if he applies himself, he can pull through, finish up his degree and get on with his life - fingers crossed. He can do it, he can... he just doesn't think so.

5. Treat yourself to something - a bubble bath, a coffee without distractions, something - just take time out for you.
This blog time is totally how I am spoiling myself! I get to help people do something nice and fun, I get to post... and I'm organizing my blog craft swap - so fun! Also... definitely going to get a bag today from Sand-And-Starfish - so that's a treat! Then back to studying...

6. What was the highlight of your week, share it with us!
I started school (again) this week! If you don't know... I have a master's in anthropology, didn't want a PhD, so am now "pre-nursing"... so I have 1 year of pre-requisite classes before I apply to nursing school... and I am pretty excited about the prospects that are out there...


See you next week!
