will be MIA

Helloo to all my lovies out there ;) Sorry for not posting these last couple of days.... Ive been packing and getting ready for a move which will officially take place tomorrow!!! Soo until about the first weekend after April 1st I will be M.I.A! I have been so busy packing and what not I feel like I haven't even had enough time to breath >_< eeek...

I've never been so exhausted, but I'm hoping things will calm down as soon as I get to my destination jeje How have you all been, good I hope??? With the weather being the way it is here I haven't been able to get outside *but i know this will change very soon* according to a very reliable source I hear that the weather in Florida is pretty nice right now! YAY.... I dont know about yall but transition is hard for me, this move has been the most emotional one yet, something that dosnt make sense to me is that everytime I move it gets worse instead of better. Having grown up in a military home I moved quite a bit so I should be used to this... Unfortunately im not! Well enough about that, I dont want to bore you with my complaining. I can breath, walk, and talk so I have absolutely nothing to complain about!!!!

I hope you guys have an amazing rest of the week, (i hope im back on her before them though) Ill miss reading all your blogs and super sweet comments jeje toodles for now sweet friends <3

We love Japan...

First let me start off and thank everyone who commented on my last blog post :) All those comments made me smile something fierce!

Also I wanted to bring up a well known topic which everyone has been talking about... Japan :) My heart really goes out to those people. They have been through so much that I truly feel the need to reach out. Many other blogs and etsians I know are joining in as well... Forestfaery is one of them (go check out her amazing (friendship bracelets). I have also set up a listing in my etsy shop where 100% of the proceeds will go to Japan relief. you can check that out here. I call it the "bashful beanie",  I'm hoping to sell 10 of them, each beanie is 20 (shipping included) and if i sell all 10 that would be 200 for an amazing cause!!!

Stylish blogger award :)

Soo today was a little hectic and crazy for me. I pulled an all nighter because I needed to drive my cousin to the airport this morning, and for some odd crazy reason I decided I wouldnt sleep so I could wake up faster???  My logic is somewhat distorted here haha ^_^ So I wasnt able to get back to sleep which means i've been awake for more than 24 hours.

 To make it worse I'm getting ready to move to Florida in a couple weeks and I'm not even half packed yet. Geessh

But to my delight as soon as I got back on to the computer Sara from Simply sarafina paints let me know that she chose me for the Stylish Blog award :) This was definitely the highlight of my day, she has the most amazing artwork in her etsy shop which you must all go and see for yourselves!!!

Now as a part of winning this award I need to share 7 random facts about myself, this is going to be hard because nothing random pops into my head at the moment but ill try my best. So here I go. . .

1. When I turned 16 I slowly developed a passion for flying. I wanted to have the freedom to roam the sky's like a bird, so soon after I began my crazy endeavor of learning to fly. Getting a pilots license has been the most challenging thing in my life so far. There are so many things that began to change about me when I started to fly. One of those things was learning to get over a fear of the unknown, I've had the opportunity to meet some amazing people who have taught me the true meaning of bravery, to be brave does not mean your not frightened, it simply means you don't let the fear win. Every brave person is still afraid. They just don't let the fear win...

2. Since the first one was so long im going to make these smaller jaja... I dream of learning italian and moving away to Italy and opening a bakery :)

3. I had a silly stage in my life where everything i owned was hello kitty. I loved it so much that even my pancakes were shaped in a hello kitty pan i bought at Sanrio.... The problem with that was it went on until like my junior year of high school, that was an embarrassing stage in my life >_< what can I say though i still love it... jaja

4. I have an addiction to the color turquoise, Its scary shopping on etsy because when I see anything turquoise I usually say "I must have it" that's no good because everything turquoise on etsy is FABULOUS!

5. When I started this Blog I had this fear that no one would ever read anything I posted jejeje I was dumbfounded when I had my first follower and first comment! I felt like the world had been given to me :) Thank you to all my amazing friends I've met on here for supporting me!

6. I think I've moved at least 7 or 8 times in my life... as I get older it gets harder >_< Moving makes me feel old!!! jaja

7. OOO My favorite thing to drink is chai tea over ice... To me its like heaven in a glass. If you ever want to win me over you can get me one of those :) Ill be your bestie for ever jejeje! I hope i didnt bore you all... Thanks for sticking with me while i write all of this!!!!!

NOW TO MY FAVORITE PART  YAY!!!!!!

Here's the rules:

1. Thank the person who tagged you and link back to their blog.

2. Share 7 random facts.

3. Share the blog love!

The 3 people I've decided to pass this on to are:
Heart-Felt Yarn Wreaths
Mr. and Mrs. Smith 
Twilight Taggers

I could have chosen so many more :)  THANKS AGAIN SARA :) im so honored that you chose me!!!!!!!!

Love

On a serious note.... I know my blogs are usually silly little things about my Etsy or about my weather complaints, but I'd like to take it up a notch to a more personal level for once if I may. This is probably going to be a longer blog than what I usually write so please hang in there for me :) I need your advice...

I have something that weighs pretty heavy on my heart lately... Its about LOVE. I've noticed so many people (mostly young) abuse the word love "relationship wise" i say it like that because I am known for saying "O I love this necklace or O I love that dress" but I've even felt the damage it does when someone tells you they love you and then instantly create an itching doubt about the matter.

For example If a guy tells a girl he loves her and then that girl finds out a couple days later that he has a steady girlfriend that hes been dating for a LOOONG time would that seem odd to you?! Be honest with me hehehe...

I dont know about you guys, but if I was the guys girlfriend than I wouldnt like to know that "my man" is going around telling girls he loves them. Even if it were in a sisterly way shouldn't he clarify? I hope it doesn't sound silly that I ask this, but I'd truly love your input on the whole thing :)

Thanks again to all my new followers for joining in the fun, just for your info I don't usually write about stuff like this! jejeje Toodles for now...

Bittersweet updates ;)

So as I promised here are the pictures of the bow in my last topic, here is the finished product :)

And after much thought and advice I've decided to name it..... Bittersweet :) Thank you to those who helped me make the decision (forestfairy and sara)

It is now for sale in my etsy shop if you wish to purchase it ;)

Thanks again for stopping by, let me know what you think about my newest addition... Toodles

Bitter sweet bitterness?

I recently started working on a hair bow that is pink with a couple different shades of green, and as I began looking for what to name it  and the only thing that came to mind was "bitter sweet". I dislike it because who wants a bow called bitter sweet, but I also liked it because its unique and I don't know a lot of hair bows out there with that name. So pretty much the outcome of my decision was also bittersweet. sheesh *_*

Those of you that also make handmade creations and have the opportunity to name them, I hope you have an easier time with it than I do!!!  It usually depends on what I'm working on, the Valentines collection I did this year was a piece of cake :) I had so much fun with those... I haven't sold them all yet so if you want to check them out they are still available. I'm trying to get rid of them to bring in new items. If you do decide to buy them use the coupon code VAL11 for 15% off  your purchase. YAY

So back to my bittersweet problem, ill post a photo of the bow on here when i finish it up so you can all tell me what name you think suits it best :) Thanks again loviess... Toodles for now

Open your eyes

Today was a nice enough day to get outside and take a nice walk. To my delight all i had to do was open my eyes to see so much beauty around me. I never realized how much good the spring does to nature until now, I could literally see the tree branches dancing and birds singing in sync to one another.

One thing that utterly fascinated me were the woodpeckers, I never liked them until now. They work so diligently on making a simple hole in the side of a tree that i felt embarrassed about things in my life i don't persevere enough in. There is so much to learn from nature if you simply open your eyes :)

I took these pictures of things that spiked my curiosity on my walk. I hope you enjoy them...

to be or not to be

So far the weather has been playing a horrid game of hot and cold.
 I don't know about you guys but it's starting get quite annoying. It's making me have a hard time deciding what to wear, this may sound crazy but the weather messes up my inner fashion genius jejeje. I consider myself to be up high in the group of "fashion-ably challenged folks". So this weather is not helping any :)

Getting away from that, its nice to see flowers blooming and green grass. I stumbled upon a few pictures of a trip i took last summer to South America, It makes me crave the summer heat!!!!

So this is what i have to say to the weather
 MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO BE SPRING OR NOT TO BE!
