way too long

ok blog, i have left you alone for waaay too long.

Lately, I've been working for my professor and babysitting (trying to make money) so by the time I get home I'm exhausted and its time for dinner then my husband becomes that annoying fly that wont go away (but only when i sit down at my desk or computer). lol I love that man! even when he drives me up the wall. :)

Since i havent had the energy to make anything. I have been planning instead. Planning for what, you ask??
To launch my own shop on Etsy! thats right, i want to sell my stuff. IDK why but I feel scared to get this started. I guess b/c it makes it OFFICIAL and i'm actually following through..........eeek!!

my dream is to eventually have my creations be a small source of income and support my hobby and some extra. its gonna be hard work, but its something i REALLY want to work hard at!

so far my plan is to have three stores. Yep is said three, tres, trois!!!
1- paper products (cards, scrapbook layouts)
2- jewlery
3- fabric/ misc., mostly fabric stuff.

its gonna be hard work but here is nothign more than creating things and having other ppl LOVE it!

I still need to post pics from the bday party 6/26/10, and the decorations!

love,
ME!

Im Back!

Ok i havent  been on here for about a week.
My mother in law is in town so i havent gotten a chance to get online because we've been making cards all week. It's been scrapbooking heaven. She brought all of her scrapbooking toys (cricut, cuttlebug folders and die cuts, a bunch of paper, stamps, cutters) pretty much everything you could ever want. Anywho, i loved it and had a blast.

Last night we had a birthday party for my MIL: Dorothy and my husband, Steve. It was tons of fun. about 2/3rds of the ppl I invited came. It was a great success. I loved it.  :)

Pics of the cupcake cakes i made for the bday party and of the cards i made will be coming up soon!

Party streamers

Steven and his mom's birthday party is coming up and I want to throw them a superb party.

I've been working away at trying to make cool decorations with what I already have.

I found this tutorial through Etsy's How-To section for : Party Streamers

this is what mine looked like with only colors  I had.

They're gonna look perfect with all my other mismatching decoration >>>> that is just me!

Quick Update

The last two months I have been on a craft and cupcake frenzy. Here is a quick update on what I've done.

My sister-in-law gave me this book for christmas:


So I decided to take a peek and try a few cupcakes. Well it turned into an addiction almost. I couldn't stop baking! I have yet to gather pics from my friends cameras. I'll post those later.

These are the Petit Fours



I loved making them so 3 days later I invited my friend Tiffany to help me make the sunflowers. We had a BLAST! we felt like professional bakers. (ill post pics later)












Then, I decided to make a bunch of greeting cards to have on hand.
I just had one idea after another.

I believe this is all I've done before this week. We'll I've started some projects but never finished.

getting it right

I am such a perfectionist when I want to be, that I have spent countless hours on the simple header that has my blog's name on it. I cant believe it. But I am very happy with my results considering I'm a newbie at this. Hope you like it too.

Very First Post

EEEkkkk! I'm so excited that I have finally gotten around to making my own blog!

I hope to not disappoint anyone and keep you coming back to check out my new creations.

I absolutely love to make things and I am on the constant move looking for new things to make.

Welcome to My Blog

-Much Love, Lisa
