WE DID IT!


I'm so proud of MY candidate! I'm so proud that the people were able to come together and put our country in motion! Finally, after years of doubt as an American... I am truly proud of our democratic process and our country as a whole.

Sharing my spark

This weeks spark is to make something using numbers! I made this card for my little cousin Diego's 4th birthday.


I've also been working on little projects for ellie's 2nd birthday coming up in January. I finished her birthday mum the other night. I crocheted the flower and used some ribbon I had lying around.



I have a few more ideas I want to work on as far as party decor goes. Hopefully next week I can order the paper for her invitations and get started on those. I'm planning on using the American Crafts "everyday" paper.

Don't forget the to vote on the 4th!!

Oh emm gee! So, one time I was going to school and I got hit by a school bus. Not just any school bus, but a school bus filled with elementary children going on a field trip. Yeah, I know sounds awful. Thankfully! I was the only one injured! Yippeee! RIP little orphan camry.

MOVING ON... Here is a random card i made the other day for no reason. I don't have any plans to give it to anyone. In fact, I rarely send thank you cards unless its the in-laws or the gma and gpa.

I'M BAACCCKK

Seriously, I'm back y'all! I've been sooo busy these past few months it makes me so sad I neglected my little ol' blog! I started my senior year at St. Edwards this August and boy oh boy is it a great year to be a political science major! I'm taking some pretty rough classes this year but I'm hoping it won't stop me too much from posting on here. I have been making some cards throughout my "break" and I've also been working on some other fun projects. I started embroidering, sewing, crocheting, an even managed to pick up knitting. Oh yeah and I have a daughter who's almost 2 I forgot that little aspect. Anyways... enough about me... I know blogs are all about pictures so I will leave you with some! BESIDES I got a new camera for my birthday! It's a canon rebel xsi and i lova lova it!

My mother and I took Ellie to the pumpkin patch this weekend in marble falls. I took her last year and had so much fun I thought it was a great opportunity to start a fall tradition. We painted a pumpkin, took lots of pictures, ate homemade strawberry popsicles and fed some goats. Ellie loooveees "dogs' and "wow-wows" it's adorable to see her get excited.





Anyway, its getting late and I gotta get up early for school! I'll be back tomorrow with some paper creations... goodnight.

Amuse Addicts weekly challenge

Back to the challenges! This weeks challenge is to celebrate... well since I have a wonderful family who supports me in all my goals... I made this special card for my sister to thank her for helping me so much with my daughter. She baptized Ellie and showers her with the love and care a mother dreams of! She is really wonderful and I celebrate her and how lucky I am to have her as a sister. I also celebrate my other siblings they are equally as wonderful as she is!!

HOLY MOLY BATMAN! looong post

Okay, I've officially changed my blog name to hern craft a lot. Reason being, I spent my whole summer picking up all kinds of crafts. I did some crocheting, some tutu making, even did some construction work on my daughters playhouse! Most recently I've began sewing. I made some cute curtains for the playhouse and I even did a variation of Missy's bunny pillow using her easy tutorial on her blog! Well, as of today my newest adventure brings me to the magical world of ebay! I figured I would combine my love of estate sales and thrifting to ebay with a vintage clothing store!

Oh yeah... and I'm back to stamping! Hahaha the new amuseapalooze release and american crafts paper has brought back to itch!

Well, I love everyone who reads this I promise I am back and will try my hardest not neglect my lil ol' blog again! For the heck of it... I'll post some summer fun pics!

What a week!

Oh my geezes I feel like my to-do list is never ending! This weekend we went up to Davins' hometown to visit his family. We had a fairly relaxing time and ended up leaving Ellie with his dad for the week. Waahhh I miss her but I think we needed some alone time. This is the FIRST TIME EVER we have spent anytime ALONE together since she was born... crazy right? Anyways, I'm enjoying my me time by learning to crochet, making cards, doing some credit card damage at american apparel and anthropologie, making tutus and cleaning! Oh yeah and online shopping like alwaayss. I found these cute stamps that I am planning on ordering come Friday whee!!


Well, I left my laptop charger at the in-laws so I don't have any new cards to show you or any other pictures of some little projects I'm working on but I do have the card I made for my mom to give to one of her co-workers.


I'm planning on recreating this card to send to Davins' parents since they are so good at making us comfortable and really enjoying our time there. Love them! Couldn't ask for better in-laws.

Thanks for stopping in!
