BE A FINISHER

Lately I have done a whole lot of starting... and only a little finishing. I have so many projects left unfinished... some of them aren't even really started, all I did was buy the stuff.. and now it sits there, mocking me. I don't think I use my time very wisely. How do you other craft bloggers do it? I know several of you have small children at home... yet somehow you find time to craft and blog and bake and clean. STOP BEING PERFECT! lol..... Ok sorry... got distracted....

That is what happens with my projects to. I get the stuff for them (because I can strap my kids in a cart with a sucker while I shop) and then I can never find the time to work on them. Pretty soon my brain has left that project behind and I am on to the next thing that has caught my fancy. It is something I have discovered in myself, and I want to change it! I want to be a FINISHER.... not just a starter. I am going to FINISH some projects and get them up on this blog! I WILL! At least I will give it my best effort......

Halloween BLING!

Ok- So I have always wanted a cool egyptian costume for Halloween. HOW GREAT WOULD THIS LOOK WITH IT!??? I am in love....

Find the tutorial here on CraftStylish.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS IDEA!!!!

Hmm... Wonder if I am talented enough to pull it off!??? Probably not.... I fair better with glue and paper than fabric and a sewing machine! lol


Find it here at Sew 4 Home

Mermaid fun!

Stick with me!! I am excited for this coming week! I am hoping to have some good blog time starting Monday... (hey.. a girl can dream right!??)

Here is a sneak peek at what I have in store for you!

I am going to show you how I threw my daughter a great mermaid party for only $20.00!! We are talking decorations, crafts, favors, the whole deal! And also I will give you the 'inside' on this chocolate chip filled surprise cake!

Excited!??
I AM!

Ok- I SERIOUSLY DON'T HAVE TIME TO BLOG TODAY! lol.... why am I then???? I DON'T KNOW! Call it avoidance......

LOVE this necklace and the easy peasy how to! Find it on Dana's Jewelry Design. I think I have a new favorite site!! YAY!



Tonight I am throwing a crafting party! SO FUN! At least I hope it will be! Look for all the details and how to start your own crafting club later this week! Also I spent a WONDERFUL weekend at the CUTEST cabin this weekend! I have a whole week of cute cabin crafties for you!!! That will be next week when I have my life back though! LOL. LATER!

NOT

ENOUGH

TIME!

I have LOVED doing this blog so far, and I am NOT about to give it up! I am finding however that all my great plans are requiring more time and effort than I had originally though. Well... no that isn't true. I knew this blog would take a good deal of time and effort, I just thought that I had given myself a great schedule to work it into. Life would have it though that I am using every second of my day and still coming up short! How annoying!!! Well at any rate, I am still going to do this blog and enjoy the distraction... but it will be less than I had originally planned. At least for now. Maybe I can get my life in control soon and dedicate more to it. I don't know how all you craft blogger's keep up!

Ok... enough whining.... here is a little something to keep you busy for a few minutes!



Splitcoaststampers has a great little tutorial for us on how to make paperclip bookmarks! SO EASY! I love easy.... I might even have time for this!!! LOL

I am actually starting a craft group and this is going to be our first months project. Maybe tomorrow I will blog more about that.... or next week... whenever I get to it! (right now I have a poopy bum to go wipe... don't you love potty training!)

Photo Light Box

Starting this blog I have decided that I am in need of a photo light box. I never thought that you could MAKE one! In searching the web for the best price I found several tutorial for how to make my own light box! I AM THRILLED! Here are some of the great tutorials I found!
