Hand Made For The Holidays!

 Hand Made For The Holidays! Gift Exchange Sign up!

This is a World Wide event. We will be exchanging HAND MADE gifts. These gifts can be made by yourself, a friend or a loved one. The idea is to be able to exchange gifts that you know will be truly appreciated. Who loves Hand Made more than someone who GIVES handmade?! 

World Wide leaves this open for so many questions...No this is not a CHRISTMAS gift exchange. We all observe different holidays, we celebrate them in different ways. You are creating and sharing in the gift of exchange and will be putting a smile on a strangers face somewhere
in the world :) There is still time to sign up. If you would like to participate please sign up here with your name and I will be contacting you by email shortly!

You WILL be responsible for all shipping fees.

Time flies when your getting crafty

Where has the time gone this year? I swear just yesterday I was turning 30 this year....Ok so that was in January and as it is right now Im on well on my way to being 31..Oh well...It ain't no thing but a chicken wing ;) I haven't spent the time I normally use for blogging trying to "organize" lol Yep that has been a lost cause...I dont think artsy crafty people are supposed to be able to STAY organized...Here I sit in my organized chaos with just enough room for my Hazelnut coffee cleared out among the ribbons, scissors doo-dad's and What'd ya call it's..
ALL the holidays are JUST around the corner! I have updated some photos and added some new things at Adorable Adornments. An entire photo album that is $5.00 OR LESS. So many new things from Halloween goodies to Hair Accessories organizers all for $5.00 or less! This week only there is no shipping on all orders also!! Stop in and take advantage of all the special offers and tell your friends :)

FALL HAS FALLEN

The door is wide open and the air is cool. The sun is shining and the house smells of a slow cooking pot roast....and cleaner o.O
Well maybe the second half of that isn't so good BUT Fall has officially fallen in my house! I love Fall! The weather is changing, going for a walk is crisp and cool and everyone just seems to genuinely be in a more pleasant mood. What could be better right? Well if my body didn't hurt that would be better...
That is the one problem I have with Fall..It slows me down a bit in the beginning. You see I was diagnosed with Endometriosis and if you suffer from it, I feel your pain...No really I FEEL YOUR PAIN! Some people are diagnosed and have little,sometimes no pain. That being said I do need to take it easy for a bit. I am putting together a big shopping list for all kinds of fun goodies for custom orders. If there is something that I can put on the list for you please let me know. I have been asked for "girlie" stuff...I need help there folks. Im not so girlie and when I get girlie I think it might be more Dolly Parton met Steven Tyler!

Where, Oh Where has my creativity gone?

I have been feeling everything BUT creative...UGH!! Its no secret I have been a tad under the weather...Well my back was brutally beaten by a very viscous step ladder the other day when I was sooooooo close to having my kitchen curtains hung in a way that never require shooshing again..All I can tell you my friends is I am so glad this fall DID NOT require a trip to the emergency room. The last time I fell it turned into one of the biggest natural disasters for my husband and myself! I fell over the thin piece of metal that keeps your carpet and tile one big happy family...Oh wait did I mention this was the first and THE LAST time I had ever met this person in my life! Nothing happened I just misstepped and down I went!! Kinda like running in slow-mo if you would. I saw it coming, being the super cool kinda gal I am I try to just brace myself as if I was part of a contortionist team in the circus. It was quite the sight lol Immediately I stand up and excuse myself to the restroom before my beet red face is seen by absolute strangers!!! Adrenaline still pumping. My right hand is sore and swollen..No surprise though, I don't remember the last time in my life I did an acceptable pull up and I just did some sort of Gymnastics/ Saw horse trickery out there. Fast forward to next day when I get up to go to work and I now have what appears to be a catchers mitt for a hand and my wrist has turned into something the size of my thigh! AHHH!!! I calmly share this news with my husband who looks down at my had and his olive complexion turns just as ivory white as mine. After a few hours in E.R., x-rays in hand (my good one), STAT visit to Orthopedic surgeon and HOT DOG and UGLY surgery scheduled. It has now been a year after the dreaded fall that was followed by painful P.T.and I am still not 100%...SOOO I am soo glad this fall did not require an emergency room visit :)

How do you get your creative juices flowing again??

It's that time of year already?!?!

I cant believe Halloween is right around the corner! From September through February are my favorite months...You see here in the Valley of California the heat finally begins to dip below the 100 mark for long enough to allow us to forget about our HOT, DRY, summer. We don't yet put away our shorts and flip flops though...That will come with time ( October-November). All those comfy sweaters begin to reappear as we all make our way to Back to School Nights, Football games, Holidays and the warm coziness time with friends and family.
I did receive my Fighting Illini ribbon and let me just say...IT ROCKS!!! On that note I am putting together a order for some wonderful fall baubles and ribbons.  Any requests???

***FREE SHIPPING ON ALL ORDERS PLACED
8/22/2010-8/28/2010**

Sneha Nirody Monga from Jewels in the Snow please contact me!!! YIPPEE Not only did Sneha and many others help me reach my goal of 200 "likers" on FB but at of 6:30 am today the count was 202. Thank you..Thank you..Thank you..I could not say it enough.

Starting today any giveaway contests or fun of any sort will be help right here on the blog so always keep one eye out!!

HEY THANKS!!!

I must admit I usually refer to myself as a Domestic Goddess Extraordinaire.  Please bear with me as I challenge myself to master the ways of the web (that would be where the extraordinaire part comes in). Facebook frowns (STRONGLY) upon giveaways, contests and sweepstakes. I love free things and I believe that my tribe of Facebook fans also love them. So here's how its gonna go down guys.......Current "HEY THANKS" 200 (thank you gift) Will be randomly chosen by my hunky hubby out of my I Love Lucy cookie jar. EACH fan who leaves a little something say will be entered. After hitting 200 fans this will be THE LAST "thank you gift" given through Facebook. Don't worry your pretty little heads!!! Just become a "follower" and you will be privy to all the Adorable excitement!
