DIY Easter eggs & center piece

Today I wanted to do something different, and make a little DIY how-to  on the pretty Easter eggs my family made this morning and the  centerpiece I put together quick for my mum.  1. First- we hard boiled brown eggs 2. Next, we used a white craft pen to draw some funny and pretty designs.  We bought our craft pen from Walmart for about $2. 3.  We learned quick that it worked best when you only drew a small portion of your design and then set it propped up in the carton while it dried....

Easter

Garza kids (missing- Holly, Ava, Alexa, and Josh) Photo credit: Uncle Mike's iPhone When I was a kid, my favorite part of Easter was the Garza family party. I loved getting to hang out all day with my cousins, and eating all the good food, and beating up on my cousin Dillon. Every holiday with the Dad's side was a blast because there was a bunch of little kids there my age. On Easter though, there was one event  that we looked forward to every year- the Easter egg hunt. When I was little, hunting for Easter eggs was like...

Coffee Date/ Friday's Letters :]

My celebratory frappe from earlier this week :] this week's coffee date doesn't have a prompt so I'm going to use this chance to tell you all about my good news! So, if we were having coffee this afternoon, since I have been in class all morning, I would tell you: Although this didn't work out the way I had hoped, I will graduate this spring on time, and still be able to return next year (completely funded by loans....UGH). So even thought TU isn't accepting the fact that they wronged us by inticing us to enroll for a degree...

WIP Wednesday- new designs for spring

This week's WIP's are a few new product designs I'm working on for the spring line. Hope you enjoy <3 This is a beautiful cream and lilac skinny bow headband. I fell in love with it immediately :] These are a few iPhone4S covers I'm working on, haven't decided on the other two designs, and they still need buttons for their closures :] These are an example of the new lightweight skinny scarf design I'm going to carry in the store this spring. Here you can see their design a little better since they aren't folded...

Coffee Date Link up and Friday's Letters!

It's Friday again! Yay! That means Coffee Date! This is my yummy Caramel Mocha from a Coffee Shop at the Factory in Franklin TN last weekend :] This week's prompt is about finding time to write and being organized...since I'm just starting to become more active on the blog, I don't really have many tips on this topic yet. When It comes to staying organized with school, and tasks for the store, my go-to is post it notes, to-do lists, and a good planner. I can never have enough lists, whether its of long-term assignments...

WIP Wednesday - lap top cover, beach bag

This WIP Wednesday will be a short post again. I'm pre-writing this post as I go into surgery tomorrow and I don't know if I can trust drugged chelsea with a blog. So just in case, I'm writting this post early and scheduling it. :] I haven't really had much time this last week to work on anything for the store. One thing I did get the chance to work on is a demo lap top sleeve for my new lenovo. I would really like to do custom lap top sleeves in the store eventually, but I need some practice on sizing. Eventually I would like...

Wisdom Teeth surgery

Today's the big day I get my wisdom teeth out and I can't help but feel terrified. So many things about it has me worried and stressed and grossed out already and nothing has even happened yet! "Will the gauze feel gross? How long will I be sick? Please oh please let the pain medicine work!!!" Those are just a few of the TONS of questions going through my mind. I can't say they'll be any exciting pictures or videos of the event, but if there are, I will let you laugh at my expense ;] As my last solid food meal, I had roadhouse...

WIP - midterms week

 With the last two weeks of school being midterms, I haven't had much time to devote to the store or just crafting in general. But I still wanted to post a few pictures of exciting things that have happened since last week. Enjoy :] I made a dainty pair of baby pink heart barefoot sandals that I love! We sent a hippie headband all the way to Oklahoma this last week. I was VERY excited about being in a new state! Here is a lovely camera print circle scarf I sewed for my little sister.

coffee date link up

Its Friday again so I'm excited to link up with Alissa from Rags to Stitches for her coffee date again this week. I'm actually having milk and these fried apple pie cuties that my mommy made me! Some of my medicine doesn't go well with caffeine so since I took it this morning, I have to skip on coffee today. But these yummies go perfectly with milk! So I'm not complaining! This week her prompt is five must-have beauty products. Well, I thought of 7, and really it should of been 8 really because I forgot to throw in a hairthing...
