Our New Car ............... Finally!

( Not my car just a picture of how my car looks, my car is minty green )
We got a beautiful Hyundai Sonata LX, this is what the car looks like. It has all the little luxury features! I was just soooooo happy it has heat!!! Our car did not have any of that frivolous nonsense LOL It was so nice driving, so smooth a ride and it looks really classy too! It has leather interior and the seats are nice and high. I have to get those waterproof mats to protect the floor part because its beige. The color of our car is a like a shimmering mint green, it was a limited edition color and I think it is so pretty because it shimmers!

Working Time & Baking Time

I need to start separating work time from home time. Right now I am not working which will change soon { I am waiting on taking my NYS license exam as a nursing assistant } I just want to set and keep a certain time that I work in my studio. It has been a week since my wisdom's were taken out and I think 15 pounds later, I am starting to feel better, it wasn't just a normal extraction for the bottom right tooth it was really infected and it was so painful that the pain meds weren't helping. I feel okay now, but eating is really slow going. Anyways that is why right now I am pretty much a professional lounger LOL I think that I will start baking next week, I bought a really cool cupcake pan, and want to make cupcakes for the holidays. Cupcakes with icing that's like a ganach and strawberries. I also may make a Tiramisu cake :) I know everyone will love that or I think maybe Tirimisu cupcakes! I am going to look for a recipe! I also like Nigella Lawson's Fairy cakes which are lighter than air cupcakes. I have her book "How To Be A Domestic Goddess" It has everything in there even recipes for meals and they are not complicated or fussy. This is where all the amazing cupcake recipes are at

MICHELE IN WONDELAND

I was thinking something like this over the dress
My grown up inspired "Alice" dress that I will have made by this fantastic Etsian
I am not sure I am bold enough to wear these striped stockings! I am planning a party for me and my husbands 5 year Anniversary! Since I love Alice In Wonderland, so much I wanted to have fun with this whole thing and do like a little theme :) Chris liked the idea too, so that's what we are doing. My family has a huge yard and I want to get a big tent and set up tables and chairs with beautiful bows and flowers everywhere! I want to do small tea lights in shimmering white glass votives and have ornate black candlesticks. I also saw something where twinkling lights were put on the sides for added romance and the sides were able to be drawn for privacy. Sort of like The Mad Hatters Tea Party!
We never had a wedding, so we thought it would be sweet and special to plan something we both can remember and have fun with. There will only be like 10 or so people so it will be really doable, I hope. I saw fun invitations on Etsy that I am considering and also a few ideas about what I want to wear and what the hubby wants to wear. We were thinking of matching navy blue silk dress for me and button down blue navy shirt for him.............. with some red accents like a petticoat in red under my dress to make the dress a bit puffy and a matching red boutonniere for Chris shirt. Such Fun! I can't wait! I want to surprise my Love with a new and blingy diamond wedding band! With a beautiful inscription only meant for us to know :) He will flip! I want him to feel special, I mean after all the man does love me and puts up with my antics!!!! So in laue of this absolutely breathtaking gift of blinged out love................ I also want to get perhaps a gag gift, I am not sure what yet, but it is a good crowd who loves to laugh so it will have to be good :)
For My Love
I was going to bake a super huge cupcake with chocolate mousse and strawberries all over with chocolate strawberry icing and a little stick in the center that says EAT ME soooo cute and swizzle sticks that say DRINK ME oooohhhhh and the table cloth will be red with a few playing cards here and there
Check out these yummies!
I need to find Alice pics for my cupcakes! I will put them all in a sealed baggie as a favor and whom ever finds Alice gets a prize!

How I Am Feeling Now

Teeth are still swollen although I felt ok during the day, the night was a different story which is why I am up! Tomorrow I will feel like this again!

I love this movie Ever After!

Three Out!!!

Three wisdoms out today! I am in some pain but it's more a throbbing from where I had the infection. I will be fine its just that I can't eat anything right now! LOL I love to eat so that's the hardest thing LOL I will hopefully do some art stuff when I feel better :) Talk to you all soon my lovely artsy ladies

Getting Wisdom Teeth Out/ Have You Gotten Your Wisdom Teeth Out?

I have been so uncomfortable for the past week! I am suffering from a wisdom tooth infection! AHHHH it is a constant pain that only subsides when I take a vicadin! Before this I only took Tylenol occasionally so for me, I feel very groggy which I don't like but it beats the throbbing pain! I have oral surgery next week to take 3 out of the 4 wisdom's out because the one is in pain and infected and the two on the upper part of my mouth cause my teeth to shift so it may be only a matter of time that they will hop on to another tooth's nerve, lovely right? I will be sedated so my doc says why not get them all out because it will be cheaper and why go through another surgery, I tend to agree. So I will be going this Tuesday morning, I think the surgery will be like 2 hours and then I will wake up have my hubby drive me home so I can rest. I guess I will be on pain killers for a while, and I was told that I have to eat soft foods and pretty much liquids for 24 hrs which is fine by me................. even now I lost a few pounds because obviously when your in pain really in pain you don't care if your eating. Yogurt and soup is pretty much it for the last week. Did anyone else ever have their wisdom teeth taken out if so, tell me what it was like! Thanks all, Michele

Upstate For Thanksgiving!

Well I had a long weekend with my husband, and family and it was really wonderful!!!! We went upstate but couldn't go too far into the woods because it is hunting season. We ate so much! My husband played cards for hours with my family and I have to learn to play Poker next! I can't wait till Christmas so I can do it all again!

Applications! Some Jewels On Display

My old booth in Florida I used to set it up every weekend! I started out making wreaths and simple glass necklaces that sold really well. I was steps from the beach! Those were the days. Some glass jewelry that I made. Some awesome earrings too!
I got all my paperwork for the renewal of my license Yay! Getting paid biweekly here I come. It will be nice to return to getting a semi decent paycheck ( I used to make almost 2,000 a month) which isn't too bad! Cna's definitely don't always have it made, most days you need to be physically and mentally tough, I am a sensitive person and had to take some time away to recharge.............. but I think this is a job that I need that will give me flexibility and will allows me to go further because most facilities will pay for school. I have so many things I want to do I will just do it one day at a time one step at a time. When you are financially secure their are many more options and directions you can go in. I am taking some jewelry classes in January and by that time I should have all my crap together and be working already. I usually try to get the 7-3 shift, which is a bit more difficult than the others in my opinion (I have done them all) but of course it is wonderful, because you are out by 3! LOL You have the whole day still to yourself. We'll see what happens. I also would like to do more shows and get back to doing them every weekend like I used to, so much fun and that was my job my Dream job come true, then I moved back to NY and it is way harder to do all these fun shows because they are soooo expensive and I have to have all this paperwork which of course leads to even more money out the window into the governments pocket, but anyways I think in order to truly live to my full potential I have to try again to make my Dreams work!

Blondie & Feather Bands

I was a brunette but wanted to play a Blondie for a little while. 9/10 times I hate the way pics look of me but I like these, probably because they are a bit airy fairy or whimsical if you will. My hair does look better when it was done but who the hell has an hr to blow out the hair everyday. I usually use hot rollers they work wonders!
I made some art today including a really cool head band, I am not quite done yet with it but it already looks good. I really love Hair Jewels, I usually make them myself but there were a few I saw on Etsy that I just had to get my hands on!!!
What can I say I guess I have a little show girl in me............Don't we all :)
Dreaming up my next art project :)
This will be customized with an M, of course!

This is for New Years, I already have plans, but I have a bigger and sparklier rhinestone that I want to add :)

Sometimes I just can't resist, I think these would look great with a nice pair of jeans and an aubergine velour blazer that I have...............perfect for date night with the hubby :)

Feathery Head Bands &Taking Care Of Stuff

Not much going on today, I am just drinking some cafe and then I will be working on my closet today............. I vowed to look cute even when I am at home alone and no one can see me, but I see me and when you feel good, I swear you become more motivated. No more ugly, stained, old sweats in the house. I got a few pairs of inexpensive leggings and I wear them with these sweet hot pink slipper boots. I feel pretty wearing stuff like that, and I also am a sucker for comfort. What the hell is the point of this life if you are going to hoard all the good stuff for special occasions or for this or that.............. wouldn't that be really sad if we became ill or worse yet died and then wouldn't be able to enjoy them anymore? I think so! So let's all realize as much and move in the right direction ladies. I also believe that when you do buy something beautiful, take care of it, I hate when I see people not taking care or their stuff and just think everything is so replaceable. Today I will be cleaning all my boots with shoe polish, and repairing and sewing 2 pairs of pants. I also want to make my own one of a kind headband for my hair. I got some feathers so I will see if I can do this myself, if not I am getting my headband from this shop! LOL This Etsy shop has some wonderful items for the hair at great prices, go take a look for yourself :)

SKIN LOVE

Glitter Graphics
The Micro delivery Exfoliating Wash from Philosophy is spectacular! The Cinnamon Bun body gel makes you crave cookies LOL Love it! http://www.philosophy.com/
I am getting back into a healthy lifestyle so the smell of sweets is enough for me, no more processed sugars for me. I am taking care of myself these days, hence the actual spending time and money on myself......... Oh yes I did :) and I do NOT feel guilty..... I feel good and it has motivated me to look in the mirror and pull myself together and want to achieve my goals because I deserve to. I got my hair did, oh yes, it looks great, I am now a Drew Barrymore blond, same haircut as this month's InStyle cover. I got some cool new trinkets with skully love that I posted and I am going to get some new makeup next week to go with my new cool colored hair. I have loved Benefit cosmetics for years now and love their foundation play sticks, they are the best because they are light and cream, my color is spin-the-bottle. For a soft glow, use Hoola bronzer blush. I always used their lip stain benetint too, which is another great product http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/

We Want A Camper!!!!!!!!!

My husband and I both need some adventure in our lives so we are working toward getting a camper!!!! And it was HIS idea!!!! I always thought it would be cool to just pick up and go.......... and yeah if ya know me well enough you know that I always wanted to live in wide open spaces :) We have seen some really nice trailers that had like two bedrooms and all that hoopla but they cost like 50,000+, we don't need all that, we just want a clean, safe place to eat, sleep and shower while we are on our hiking and antiquing get aways. So some trailers aren't that expensive, and I have seen some really nice used trailers for like $10,000. Check out some cool ones here http://coachmenrv.com/ We figure it will be a good way to go on more getaways and in the long run save some money. We love exploring new places and I just find the idea of sitting by a fire in the middle of nowhere healing :) Especially living in the city. I wonder if financing is available for trailers, I mean, probably right? After all it is like buying a vehicle, but better :)

Another Skull Cuff For Me

Friday, November 13, 2009

Skulls Skulls Skulls!

I also got this cuff, that I thought was different from http://www.etsy.com/shop/BellaLili
I am also going to make my own skully earrings with these

Upstate Serenity & Wonderful Etsy Artists

My weekend upstate was beautiful and relaxing. No TV/phones/computers! I was so happy with no distractions. I went 4 wheeling with the husband, hiked by the stream, talked about life by the waterfall, ate steaks and shrimp for dinner, you really can't get much better than that. Me and my husband have decided to fix up the house we are in right now instead of moving because besides the fact that it is hard getting a job right now but the home is close to everything and rent and bills are somewhat manageable here. We want to go ahead and get a nice economical truck where we can make trips more often upstate. We have found a Bed and Breakfast or two, that were not too expensive in the Catskills and we both would like to go there more often. My husband and I want to learn archery, we thought that would be something we both liked to do. He wants to go hunting with my dad and the boys which I think is good for him to have some stress relief, we all need our space. For Christmas, I want to get him a bow and arrow set. I also think this trip helped my self esteem too, there was some soul searching and I found what I was looking for....finally. I am going to put some more effort in my arts and crafts business and quit my weekend job and get something during the week. I thought I had found my dream job a few weeks ago and let's just say it turned out to be a nightmare!
Anyways I got my Christmas gifts early this year, I picked them out and the hubby got them for me but I can't have em till Christmas I will show ya. I love this bag so I had to get it! It is handmade and hand painted! I will have roses and sugar skulls on mine! Can you believe how great these are :) My cuff will just be darker and have more roses. Check them out, they have the most beautiful leather goods there http://www.etsy.com/shop/moxieandoliver
I also got another amazing item which is a Day of The Dead necklace, and 2 pairs of customized earrings with skulls and roses and hearts, I also got 2 pendants, one with a skull and wings the other a heart with wings, see a theme here LOL ................... I seem to be drawn to sugar skulls and roses, and winged creatures these days, one of my favorite bands of all time is Guns N Roses so after all it seems appropriate :) Anyways check out these awesome ceramic creations here, http://www.etsy.com/shop/gaea She is sooo talented just look at the beads and jewelry in her shop. She also has a color chart with all the different color washes for her fired ceramic pieces. I find what she does very interesting. I wish she taught an art class!

Upstate This Weekend!

So we really are going on a mini vacation upstate. I am soooo happy! My mom is going to look after my little furies, and watch the house for me. Hiking and fresh air. Nothing else really going on, I will be packing tomorrow and need to get some fleece pants.

Tooth Problems

I have been in so much PAIN the last 2 nights with a horrible tooth ache.............I had to actually go to the dentist! Which was overdue for me anyways. I need a root canal YAY FUN! I have a broken tooth. I never had one before, my teeth were always pretty good so I am on antibiotics to lessen the infection and in about a week I go back for the joyous root canal! I guess what I am most afraid of is the needle, but I am glad that I will be out of my misery soon, and I know there are worse things LOL I think I will make a tooth fairy painting in honor of the whole tooth hoopla :) I can't wait for this weekend, I am going upstate for the weekend,a whole weekend to just mellow out and clear my head of the noise. I hope the weather holds up I plan to go hiking in the woods and drinking coffee by the fireplace and to hang out with my family around a fire pit eating marshmallows :)

All Saints Day Remember The Ones That Passed

I Will Always Love You............. You were the ones who were always there and who loved me so much without any limits. You were so good to me that it is hard at times to connect with others because no one could ever take your place and be to me what both of you were. You listened to me and all my crazy schemes and you thought I was entrepreneurial and artsy instead of flaky and crazy like every one else in the family. I learned allot since you are gone,most of which at times is somewhat negative, sometimes people do not have the purest intentions, you both protected me from that, but you taught me really well, so I am still OK just it seems that the color in my world dulled a little since you guys left for Heaven, by the way thanks for the dreams, they really helped me..... The Cadillac was a nice touch LOL I still miss you guys so much and I know that will never change for as long as I live. I love you both so much.

Halloween Soul Cakes

This Halloween I will be working till 8 pm, which sucks, so as soon as I get home I will change into my pj's and cuddle with the hubby and watch scary movies. I heard from Sting, who was on the View today his new song Soul Cake is a song about what people in England used to do for Halloween. The people baked Soul cakes, for loved ones passed, and the poor would beg for the cakes in exchange for praying for the lost souls. Obviously souls can't eat cakes

All My Fav Artists & Using Skulls In Art

CATRINA LLORONA
I got some cool stuff today at the craft store. I got skull heads AND actual whole mini skeletons, 5 inches in length 6 in a pack! I figure those will be perfect for my shrines. I can't wait till all the Halloween stuff goes on clearance and then I will stock up on bats and creepy crawlies LOL I just want to glitter the hell out of everything! Is that normal? LOL These skulls and macabre decorations really appeal to my dark side just as much as pretty girl paintings and cupcakes in pinks :) I also got some barrette blanks so I will make some skull love for my hair, some mini glittered skulls in the middle if some black feathers. I finished some clay projects and I have to take the pics to show ya how cute they came out! http://www.mysticvoodoo.com/day_of_the_dead_altar_art.htm#Day_of_the_Dead_Altars_ this site has a tutorial on making your own altars, it may be a little different to what you may have thought. CASTILLO FAMILY
CASTILLO FAMILY
I like to share with you all some of the artist who inspired me, I always give them the credit they deserve which is why I mention them in the first place, to share their brilliance! I have a blog for me, it's cool if you like my blog, but it is really for me. My way of reaching out and connecting with the world especially like minded artsy folk :) It is my artistic journal and sometimes personal confident where I share what I am inspired by or what I am doing or feeling at the time. I don't really care about how many followers I have, or writing every day to keep up with the Jones, hell I have no use for texting either, and I am NOT on facebook. I am just a nice artsy girl who enjoys looking and the feeling of making cool art using cool shit :)
I also love this issue of Somerset Studio, there are so many cool things, I LOVE the Article/ Art, by Lisa Kaus,http://www.lisakaus.com/index.htm she used a dirty pink, warm green, olive to create a few boxes and good God they are so flicking fabulous and its only with three colors! A while back while searching for some hardware at Home Depot, I passed by the paint section and saw three paints just sitting there already mixed and on their way into oblivion, so I asked if I could buy them and they came out to like $1.00 each! The colors were a shabby pink, cream, and the loveliest turquoise blue. I was so happy and now I am inspired to create something wonderful with my own palette :) Just look at Lisa's work!

LISA KAUS

LISA KAUS

Also there was another artist in there that I LOVE Suzi Blu, http://suziblu.ning.com/ I love all her classess and have taken them all! LOL I like that type of shabby, cool, grungy, art. I like art stuff and feeling a texture on a painting. I learned to really look at my art supplies in a new way.................... and it has been awesome :) So go out there my art peeps and try some new stuff, I certainly cannot wait for tomorrow, where I have an art date, with myself even if you are a Miss Busy Bee, you can spare 15 minutes to glitter or draw something at least twice a week, whatever start small...........but start :) The TV is not your friend it will suck time and brain power out of your life, and I am right there with ya being a TV Zombies

I Shall Art

I have a few projects that I will do this week, and I hope to finish at least half of them by the end of the week which I think is doable :)
Make beautiful and sparkly flower clips, headbands, tequila rose doll, spider and bug clips
I also made a cute clay doll that will have move able arms and legs so she needs to be painted and a few other things need to be repaired. Here are some jewels that I just finished

Island Beauties Of Summer

I was trying to find some inspiration so I was going through some of my old pictures, and I saw some great ones of a family trip to the Islands (St Thomas) and in all the pictures everyone just looked so happy! So it made me happy too and then it made me long to be there once more so I did some art that reminded me of my beautiful moments on that piece of paradise of days long past.

My Baby Magic Is Growing

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Look at me! LOL
Yes Yes I Am A Pretty Boy :)
My name is Magic and I am about 3 months old and I love my new home, I get treats, lots of love and I enjoy long naps in the sunshine. I have a sister and a brother to play with too! Life here is wonderful and I think my mom is going to make me wings for Halloween. My brother is going to be piglet from Winnie The Poo and my big sister who I love chasing around is going to be a Princess. I hope I get lots of kitty treats, I always do and sometimes I get so hungry and eat my brother and sisters treats, even Mom's waffles once, hee hee I just get sooo hungry! I wish all my relatives ate so well. I will come back to update you all on how great we all looked for Halloween! Love you all XOXOX Magic

More Ideas For Skulls

Drill a hole in the skull and all tea lights for an eerie effect.
Paint the skulls with all different color glitters and make them like sugar skulls with flowers all over them
Velvety red roses strewn all over black glittery skulls that have flickering candles
I was thinking maybe using the skull as the base for an eerie arrangement of foliage

The pics were taken from this wonderful website. Look at these sweet earrings! http://www.mexicansugarskull.com/

They have it all!!!! Jewelry,bags and recipes to make your own sugar skulls from meringue

Sunday, October 11, 2009

Oooohhhhhhhh Scaaaaaaaaaaaaary!

I love Martha Stewart she is very inspiring! Look at these awesome glittery skulls! Easy to make too! Just add glue evenly of course and glitter ( I have to say even though she is a bit too perfect, her glitters are the best, of course :) These are all photos from Martha's website :)
Another idea was to get plastic toy bugs and use them as decoration............ I was thinking that they could be worn as a broach or hair clip. I was once Medusa and wore silvery snakes in my hair. Maybe I will do a few glittery bugs this year :) Click Here

Our Time Has Come

We are going to be moving, we are setting our goal for the spring! My work is not really an issue because I am in the health Field, but my hubby will have to commute until he finds work closer to the area where we want to live. We are looking at homes in the Riverhead and Hampton areas on the north and south fork of Long Island. I have family out there and I always loved being close to nature and just enjoying a slower pace. When I was younger I loved the hustle and bustle of the city but as time passes I really enjoy the time that I have spent talking over a roaring fire pit and not hearing a single car alarm or any kind of noise just the crickets..................I can't tell you how priceless that has become to me.

So Much More On The Way!

After being sick for about a week, I am getting back to doing some art work & jewelry! I have some really great ideas on 3D-ish art! I swear the computer eats a chunk of my time every time I get on here. So I think I am just going to limit my time to only 1 hour a day! Let's see what happens, I may get more art done xoxox Michele

See See I Do Try!

I have been working on my faces, I love drawing but sometimes I just can't stand anything I make! Ya know what I mean, right? Here are a few that I did and I will incorporate them somehow in a cool mixed media painting. Since my new work schedule rocks, I will have plenty of time after work to still do whatever I want, and I am off weekends so it is truly wonderful, I had some really hard luck so this wasn't exactly handed to me, I think karma gave it to me :) I Thank You Karma! I Love You!

My Sweet Layla Rose

I Am The New Art Director & My Update!

Yes!!!!! I finally got my dream job!!!! I will be the new Art Director in an Assisted Living Center making my own program/schedule. Basically my job will be to teach arts and crafts, have a cooking class once or twice a month and just keep the residents occupied and happy! I really feel this type of job is perfect for me! I waited a long time for this, I knew that one day it would happen, I am ecstatic :)
I have been busy working on my jewelry and painting, so here is what I have been up to for the past month. I will be updating my Etsy soon, but just know that I work 7 days a week now, I only work a few hrs on the weekend so I want to try to keep my second job for some extra $$. Me and the husband have a goal to buy our own home somewhere a little more private than my current residence so we are both a little sleep deprived right now, my hubby works 6 days a week and does side jobs on his day off AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! We are only doing this for a short term to get a jump start on a down payment. Then we will both chill out. The journey of 1,000 steps begins with just one :)

Creative Hearts

I got some thin large wood hearts and stars at Michael's a while back and I finally decided to work on some art today. I already did a Queen painting which I think is so pretty, with colors of rich purple and gold and silver stars. I even put some swarovski purple crystals in Queenie's
eyes :) As far as jewelry goes I started working on some more jewelry designs. I will share eventually :)
I see the moon, the moon sees me The moon sees somebody I want to see God bless the moon and God bless me And God bless the somebody I want to see.It seems to me that God above Created you for me to love He picked you out from all the rest To be the one that I loved best.I had a heart 'twas true and good But now it's gone from me to you Take care of it as I have done Cause you have two and I have none.
I am sorry I got side tracked, I just saw this on Diane Dudda's Blog, a bit ago and saved this sentiment here and wanted to share it, isn't this such a beautiful painting by Diane! This piece really touched me, I thought about the loss of my grandparents and this dulled some of the heartache a bit so, that has not happened in a long time so Thank You Lady!

New Baby Kitty

I have a new kitty for 2weeks now, I swear I don't have kids but I imagine this is a little taste of what it may be like LOL My "Magic" is about 3 months old and is very playful, and I think is acclimating to life with a doggie and the big mamma my older kitty. Magic just needs to learn not to bite, because he does that, even to my little doggie and respect the other animals boundaries LOL At times he sleeps with my doggie Lucky and just relaxes with the whole family. I have to leave him in the bathroom, at night because I don't want him to get hurt or hurt himself or the other animals because this 3pd kitty actually chases Big mamma who is like 13 Pd's around the house! It was sort of an accident how Magic came to be with us, it was supposed to be my cousins but he was severely allergic, so I stepped in :) I have the room and I couldn't bare not knowing where Magic would end up so here with us I know he will be happy and loved. Art has been on the back burner and today i will have to seclude myself a bit and do some work :)

Quite Odd Quite Interesting

http://www.reclaim2fame.etsy.com/
Just saw this shop on ETSY and thought I would share my odd little find. I love artists like this who recycle old stuff and put it back in the world in a cute fun way.

What The Hell? I Love This SUV

I swear it is soooo hard to get by these days, which is why I am going back to school...............We need another car and the banks and dealerships are sooooo evil, they are really all about just getting you! There is even penalties in your financing/lending contract that penalize you for paying the lenders back too soon! Say Hello Interest. Could you believe that I sure can't. I am hoping that somehow everything will work out, I am not setting myself back because I have done that so many times and it is hard to get back on track. This time regardless of what else is going on and what else needs to get paid I am putting me first and I along with the hubby, will muddle through. I will have some money saved before October for school anyways, so I know it will be fine. Anyways me and my husband always loves suv's because I do flea markets and it's a pain lugging and fitting all that stuff in a regular car, been there done that and I am going for the comfort now :) This is one of our choices, I think it is a practical and will be my newest car ever, which I guess is a good thing, I am tired of driving around in unreliable clunkers especially because I happen to get anxiety about being stranded and tires going flat and all sorts of crazy things like the car not starting ( which are unfortunately the downfalls of having a car that is 15 yrs old lol ) I just hate that it is all about the money, I try to do good things and hopefully Karma is gonna get me like John Lennon said :)

Check Out This Site For Recipes On Yummies!!!!

Ok so it is no secret, I love the sweets and I especially love saving cash and making things myself so this site has it all and they make it simpler! I am going to try the cookie ice cream sandwiches and bananna pop! http://cupcakeblog.com/?m=200905
