Cut and Paste

For the longest time I have wanted to make a journal, an inspirational journal. I have tons of magazines that I have collect over the years from subscriptions to thrift store finds just piled up in my closet collecting dust. I have kept them because I see a pic or project that I want to do or its just pretty! I always forget what it was I wanted that magazine for and miss out buying the supplies I need because I forgot what it was I needed to get. So with this blank journal I can grab a pair of decorated edge scissors and glue it right onto my pages. I also like to sketch ideas for future crafts. I think I need to take a little trip to Walmart and get it!

Glitter!

So I have been looking around for some inspiration on my holiday decorating. I have wanted to do these glitter pumpkins I saw on Martha's website a few years back and I think this year is the year. I am liking the bronze, orange, rust tones like the ones in the picks. I wont be glittering real pumpkins I will use some from the dollar store, more bang for my buck since glitter is so expensive, especially Martha's glitter!

Marathon Man

HE DID IT! I am so proud of him that I could just burst. There were over 10,000 runners on Sunday and over 6,000 of them were woman! His sister came down for support, and to keep me company while we wait to catch a glimpse of him run by.
The run started at 6am and his corral number was E they let people out in waves. First wave was A then B and so on, so he was let out at 6:10 am and I caught a dark pic of him heading to the start. His sister and I waited at the 4 mile mark because I knew his time and know he would be coming in at about 6:50am and he was right on time, look at that smile you could tell he was loving every minute of the race.
After the 4 mile mark we headed straight to the finish to get a good view of him as he finished. His time was 2:23.13 two hours twenty three minutes and thirteen seconds. Look at that Medal, I am going to make a shadow box for him to display it in his office. I took pics of him the day before the race at the Health and Fitness Expo.

Quick Craft

So this is the big weekend for Andrew his half marathon (13 miles) at Disneyland!! He has been working his butt of for the past three months training for this day (Sunday). This man dedicates himself 100% to anything he puts his mind to. He is my hero! So with that said I will be cheering him on in the sidelines wearing this shirt I made
" Kick ASSphalt Andrew". I wanted something bright so he can see me (he will be wearing a similar color shirt on race day), I will be taking tons of pics this weekend of him and the race. GO ANDREW!!

Sign, Sealed, Delivered!

I sent out my application to be a vendor at this years Craft Bazaar!! I had to pull out last year because I applied on short notice, and didn't have enough time to make my items. My sister will be making some of her delicious jewelry to sell at my booth, she makes the prettiest stuff. I still have a ways to go before I have everything on my list checked off (I have more ideas in my head) but I need to first finish the things on that darn list. Deep breath, fingers crossed, and hope that I get it all done in time.

To Do

One of my things is making lists. I make a list for everything, the big one I am working on is the to do list for the Bazaar in October. I have so many projects to get finish and started on I need help. I have two months to get everything on that list done,so to help me out my sister is coming over and hopefully we will be able to get some things on that list checked off :) I am starting work again on the 2ND so most of my weekends will be devoted to getting those projects finished.

Happy Birthday Tori!!

I have to say hands down Tori Amos is my FAVORITE Artist/Performer. I have yet to see her sing live because she mainly tours overseas. Each and every song is amazing, her songs are as beautiful as she is. She is a survivor like myself. Happy Birthday Tori!!
