Sweetness!!

Well I asked a few people about helping me gather items for my portable Container garden I am planning on at the moment and So far I have three people looking into trying to get me as many wooden pallets as they can, My   Mom had been saving plastic coffee cans for a little while and had no use for them was about to throw them out and I snatched those up as well as asked them to save any milk jugs, 2 liter soda bottles and more plastic coffee cans in the future for me. I myself had been collecting milk jugs and think I have like 7 of them so far. I even started collecting news papers because I plan to make my own seedling paper cups/tubes which will be great because the paper cups/tubes are biodegradability so there for I can just plant the whole cup and seedlings right into whatever container I use :D I am pretty excited about trying to recycle things not just because it is healthier for the planet but because it is cheaper on us lol


The tons of coffee cans Mom donated to the cause : D


A large yard trash bag filled with different containers for my Container Veggie/fruit garden 


The pile not in the bag : P

I also didn't work out yesterday, I am considering it my off day lol. I do plan on working out sometime tonight so no worries I plan to try and get back into it before I start slacking off too much I want to reach my goal before out Cub scout pack pool party at the end of July. Oh I forgot to mention that as a reward for all my hard work losing the last bit of weight I have to lose (29 lbs WOOT!!) I will getting my belly button pierced and plan to get a special tattoo I already designed myself in a special place on my body. I have only shown this tattoo design to a few people and once it is on only so many will see it there after lol. I don't know I think I might be tattoo obsessed because aside from that tattoo I already have four additional tattoo's planned. One for my best friend Halls (That's not her real name but a nick name only I am aloud to call her he he) I am getting a Lotus one done and playing with the idea of getting it done on my left side somewhere between my hips and waist I like the design I found that is now my phones wallpaper lol, I want to get one that will be a four piece done for my brothers, either a quote about brothers spilt into 4 pieces or add more fish to the fish tattoo piece I got on my back already for them. I am starting to lean towards the fish thing but think I can probably get away with still adding the quote to their own personal fish still, and then the fourth one I want to get will have something to do with my husband and yes I know that is bad luck but whatever, My husband is very special to me for many reasons!! One he was my first love (we dated back when I was 14/15), When I needed help he was always there for me even when we weren't together, he has ALWAYS loved me no matter what ( he loved me when I was at my smallest, my biggest, my most depressed and my most happiest) and the love I have for him will be forever. Lol whoops sorry for the novel there ha ha, but yeah so I love tattoos, being outdoors, the warm weather and fall (starting to hate winter more and more each year, just not a fan of the cold like that : P) well dang I just realized the time and I need to get ready to get going the boys have a cub scout thing here soon!!

Garden Needs at the Moment

I decided I am going to make a list on here because if I try and make on on my computer I will end up deleting it lol so I know I wont delete it here. Also makes it easier for anyone (My peeps that live near me anyways) who wants to help me with my garden. Last year I grew Tomatoes and Cucumbers and had more then we needed so I ended up giving some away to friends and family. I tried to grow carrots and watermelons but that didn't work very well so I am going to try other plants and once I get the hang of gardening I plan to try and grow things year round. But anyways here is the list I started this post for lol




  • Potting soil
  • Terra-cotta Medium and Large pots
  • Wooden shipping pallets (if broken but have some useful parts will still use)
  • Clean 1 Gal milk jugs
  • Clear egg cartons from Farm Fresh
  • Garden bags
  • Chicken fence
  • Wood (all sizes)
  • Trellis 
  • Small - Large wheels that attach to carts
  • Gutters
  • Orange trees (ones that can be kept outdoors in warm and indoors in cold)
  • fruit trees that can be in or out doors
  • Clean kitty litter tubs
  • Clean paint buckets 
  • landscape fabric
  • Milk crates
  • polyester thread
  • twine
  • different size PVC pieces
  • old Kitchen Colanders
  • 2 liter soda bottles
  • clean Hawaiian punch bottles (the big ones)















I added a few pictures I came across that either given me ideas or I came across them as project plans to try and make myself. That's all I can think of at the moment I will add and take off things as I get the amounts I want for it :D Plus any seed packets for herbs, veggies and fruits are always welcomed he he

I so want to make one of these!!!

This is such a awesome idea!! I think i would grow something else in it like herbs or smell good eats like strawberries or something but I love the concept/idea of it and have already asked not only my little brother about trying to get me some Wooden pallets no longer needed at work, but a friend of mine who also might have access to some wooden pallets as well. I love gardening and I am getting excited about it. But with us having to move at any time I would rather make a container garden that would be portable from one place to another. So I think I might need a ton of these pallets for my project. I also want to make two smaller portable square gardens for my kids because I know they will want to help and of course they will want a little piece of their very own garden to work with as well lol


I also finally found this huge leaf dangle earring I gotten a while back and thought if I took it apart I could make a few nice jewelry pieces out of it, so I did now I need to clean them up and then later maybe make some earrings and maybe a matching bracelet. If I do I will try and remember to post some pictures here on this post as soon as I can : D


Well better get off for now just mainly got on so I could share that link with you all

Happy New Year!!

Well you guys pretty much already know what my new year resolution is lol, lose the remaining 30 - 32 lbs I want to lose (Yes I will still be a healthy weight for my height, I checked and made sure) but not just lose the weight but be fit and toned. I have been over weight for a little while so my skin will take longer to catch up with me so today when we go grocery shopping sometime in there I will be looking for a skin firming lotion I plan to try and remember to put on me twice a day or so.I looked on line and tried to find some of the better rated things for it. Also I just bought myself one of the two pairs of shoes I wanted for walking/running!! I ordered it on Amazon so I have to wait til next week to get them but whatever I can't wait regardless!! Here is what they look like.




I also bought 2 white over the door Shoe organizers but not to store my shoes lol. I got them to hang over the outside shed doors so I can fill them with dirt and plant some herbs for cooking : D  I want to build some planting boxes that are portable so when we move (either this year or next) it will be easier to move with us. I love to garden and cook. Plus my kids can help me with the garden (I want to make them their own little planter boxes just for them) and let them pick a couple of things they would like to try and grow this year. Well that is all for now I need to go get ready for the day!!



Later all,
