I love the 80's

Yes, I was an eighties baby, but I don’t really remember much about my youth let alone the horrible fashions I am sure I was dressed up in by my mother. My daughter wants to go her school social next week. The theme… “Dress like your favorite decade”. Well I knew everyone would probably do the 50’s and the 70’s so I told my daughter we were going to do the 80’s.




I am very excited to be making our outfits for the party and I hope to get them started and finished over the weekend. Her outfit will consist of a cute little tube dress with a tutu, some pink tights and some funky and bright jewelry. Of course she’ll bring back the infamous side ponytail for just one night only.















My outfit will be little less 80’s, but still 80’s enough. I will have on an off the shoulder shirt dress with a pair of tights. I am hoping to find stirrups… remember
those???? I’ll have the same loud, chunky jewelry on and a cute belt for the dress. I hope to find some heels for the event.


I do not not if my husband is coming, BUT I hope he does join us. I already have is outfit picked out..... Miami Vice anyone??? He would make a very nice Detective Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs I hope to get these done and of course posted when we take pictures the day of the party.

Website Down

Some of you may have noticed that my website has been down for about a week or so. It first started with my host. I don't know if I did something wrong or if my host needed to change something. My husband, being the tech nerd {spoken in love} as he is, upgraded the computer to using Internet Explorer 8. He loved it; he showed me all the features of the upgrade. Right now, I could care less. I never seem to appreciate the upgrade for months after the fact. Anyhow, with my issues of trying to upload to my web host and failing in all my attempts; I sat down and started to create another, updated site. Looking at my old site, I thought it was a bit dark. A black and grey background was really dark. It did not show my bright personality. It did not show my products for what they are. I decided to change my background to reflect the new blue logo I’ve created for myself. I’ve added other pages to my site, even a new ordering page. Right now the pages aren’t up and running. I want to launch when I am completely done editing all the pages on my site.

Creating a site all by myself has been a challenge, but so worth while. I can be a little ADHD with things, so having the know how in web building helps me to save some money and also change something on my site without waiting for another to design and finish it for me.

So, if you aren’t already on it, please join my mailing list. I hope to send out a notice in the near future(hopefully in the next week) when my site launches again

I loved the name when I first saw it.
Thank you Alichia for coming up with it. I have not started creating more Mascara bags this week. This time in white. Keep your eyes open for them to be listed in the store. I hope to take pictures of them today.

First Craft fair for 2009


I attended my first craft show for the 2009 season on Sunday, March 29th. The show started at 9 so I had to be at the Fire Company to set up at 6:30 am. The show was very well organized. There were tons of Fireman there to help you find your space and unpack your vehicle. The food was delicious. The other vendors were very helpful and friendly. Everyone was there to have a good time. I sold a bunch of stuff (14 bags) so be on the look out for new bags. I have another show on Saturday, April 4 so I am hoping to get a bunch of stuff made this week. Wish me luck and pray for my strength... it's going to be a long week!

The ????




I came up with this bag over the weekend, but I am unsure of what to name it. I've already carried out and have recieved lots of compliments. I've taken it to work and the ladies love it. I already have a few orders for it. Now I need your help. I don't know what to name it. Leave me a comment or email me and let me know what you'd name it. You never know, I may like your idea and use it.


It's a multi tasker like most of us. It's a tote and a clutch. How great is that??? The handles, although wooden are very comfortable to carry. The size perfect as a small tote and folded in half as a clutch. I can carry my wallet, change purse, cellphone, iPod Touch, and other mom related items comfortably in this. Even with all I have, I can still use as a clutch.
