I been making some Rock Pendants today (The four I posted pics of above) and I love doing it. The last one (One on the bottom titled "Pink Flower rock baby" was the hardest and most painful to make out of them all so far but my favorite one as well. I had to use hot glue to glue the flower to the wire of the pendant and maybe some super glue when I find mine to re-inforce the flower. I hope that will work it would suck if it came off ><> http://audbal38.deviantart.com/ Maybe here soon we will actually sell some of these 8 P Well gotta get going need to look for some school supplies and maybe make another pendant or two woot.

Crohn's Disease...

Well normally I am working towards helping raise money towards the March of Dimes but after a few years of it and no one wanting to help me AT ALL (makes me sad my friends and family don't seem to want to help as much as I had hoped) so I stopped doing the March of Dimes walk. That was a couple years back. Well I am deciding I think I am going to start putting all that effort back then and then some towards a new goal. Someone close to me on My Husband's side has Crohn's Disease and I know how much it sucks to have it I have seen her (Hubby's relative I want to keep Anonymous) in so much pain from flare ups it's not even funny and I feel so helpless to any of it. So I started looking of the Ribbon color for this and came across this website http://online.ccfa.org/site/PageServer?pagename=TS_homepage and thought it be awesome if I could get a family/friends team started for the walk in May 2012. I think this year is way too close for me to cut it so I figured it gives me a few extra months to plan ways to raise money. Like for example i was thinking sometime this summer having everyone in my team donate like 4 or 5 items to be sold at a yard sale and all the profit from that yard sale goes towards this cause. I also am thinking of getting some beads and wires and what not and have my very talented Mom make some bracelets and key chains to sell all proceeds going towards this cause of course as well : D I even designed our team logo (Shirt design) I just need the team name rofl. I want to try and come up with a few other things to help raise money. So yeah aside from everything else going on in my life I plan to add this to the mix.

I also need to get my freakin' nerves in check and get my butt to college and figure out what I need to do to get me in school and on my way to a promising photography career. Photography is my favorite Hobby of all hobbies and to make that my job to would be perfect!! So yeah any ideas help anything greatly appreciate it 8 )

Beads and Photography













Well my Mom has been working on making Bead Jewelry and it seems every time she makes another one it gets better and better. We all told her the newest ones she could probably sell! Even some of her friends are asking if she sells them. Guess who gets to photography all the new pieces??? This Gal right here that's who. I just go over there use her camera (Mom hates me bc she says she can take a pic and it sucks and I turn around using the same exact camera and it comes out beautiful) and play with the settings and BAM! I prefer to use natural light for pictures so I try to position them so I can use the light from windows and what not. Well yeah so that's what is up. If she does decided to sell her work I'll have to put a link on my blog!!

I have been sewing and planting!!






Well I been super busy between working out every morning, pre-planting some seeds and hand sewing things I have been pretty busy!! I first started the hand sewing thing when I decided to make a top secret project for some of my guildies. So I can't really talk about that or show pics but I made (all by hand sewing) a car cell phone holder. The first one I made is lop-sided as hell and clumsy looking so I put it in my car : D (Hey it matches me what can I say : P) I am now working on two with two different blue patterns car cell phone holders. One for my Mom and another for my best friend Halls. I am doing them both at the same time, well at the moment I am hand sewing all the parts (God i can't wait to get that electric sewing machine from my mom xX) which would be done a whole lot faster with a machine but anyways.... So yeah I posted pics the one that looks pink and brownish with flowers is the first one I made. The blue pattern ones are the pieces I cut out from the patterns (I raced the patterns onto tracing paper and cut that out instead of the actual pattern.) I also am using white felt sheets as the interfacing for them as well. Just so you know. I am using a sewing pattern I bought on Ebay. It's a simplicity pattern # 2553 crafts http://www.simplicity.com/p-1512-crafts.aspx So yeah let me get back to sewing :D

Been a little bit

Sorry it's been a little while since I posted anything...first off Welcome to the new year of 2011!! I hope that is year will be a much better one at least in full filling some of my own personal goals and helping a few others reach theirs as well. I officially started over on the weight loss goals and am looking forward to seeing the final goal of 118 lbs by time it is swimsuit season. I been working harder this year towards the goals and know that I will reach them this time!! The goals are pretty much still the same get to 135 lbs first then work towards the 118 lbs goal. As of the 4th of Jan I have already lost 2 lbs and am pretty happy bc I been doing the 30 days shed with my best friend, walking our dog (Need to do it everyday though) and been playing a game we got for wii called just Dance 2 and that game makes you sweat!!

I am also starting to grow 2 plants some holly hocks and lavender to grow in the backyard this year. I have big plans for the backyard and plan to grow not just flowers but things I eat like herbs, tomatoes, green onions, strawberries (from a kit) and other stuff like that. So aside from that I am looking to get a part time job just so I don't feel like I am going crazy and to try and have some extra cash to fund future vacations and road trips I am looking forward to taking plus it be nice to pay off some major bills we have atm and try and save up to buy ourselves our own house one of these days. But yeah that's what's up but I gotta run bc time to get ready to get the kids here soon : P
