I am still here

I realized I haven't blogged in like a week. Sorry for that ! Time flies when your busy ! This past week has flown by and work has been pure hell. I left work every day last week wanting a drink and literally exhausted and I didn't feel like doing much. I am sure you all know how that is. Other then that I feel like I work non-stop with my normal 9-5 job and then with my jewelry collection. It's just to much going on. Then the wedding show my friend and I was going to have a booth at sold out, because my friend waited until the last minute to try and book it. Crazy, so we made all of this wedding jewelry and now we didn't do the booth. Crazy I know. But we are planning on doing a normal booth at like a small fair in a couple of weeks. So we are excited about that.

Other then all that I celebrated two more birthday's this weekend. I had a little kid party to go to and my dad's birthday in the same day. Sorry I don't have pictures but my dad forbid me from putting him on the Internet...hahah !! He is old school. Also my best friend's birthday is tomorrow to be exact but she celebrated it this past weekend. She lives up north and I wish I could have gone to celebrate but the tickets where way to much..I think because it is spring break time.

All is all it was busy week last week and this week will be equally as busy. I have lots to do and wish I had more time to do it. I still have lots to catch you all up on like my sisters birthday party last month and the ask and I shall tell post I still need to answer questions. I have not forgot and I promise I will get around to it. Hope you all have a good week.

Smooches,
Ash

Alice in Wonderland Movie




I went to see Alice in Wonderland last night ! I was surprised because even though it was rated PG it was very dark and twisted. When I was watching the movie it came to me like a bolt of lightning.. that Johnny Depp must be bi-polar. Think about it, he plays the most psycho roles. I am sure he has been offered a nice soft romantic role and he refuses to play it. That is so strange that he always plays these off the wall characters. I thought it was a good movie but I was disappointed because they took the joy and happiness out of the Alice in Wonderland that I remembered as a child. That is the only thing I don't get about all of these remakes of old movies is they take the joy out of the original movie and it always has to be dark and twisted. I did however get some inspiration on making an Alice in Wonderland inspired necklace which is all the rage right now. It is totally going to be destructed and sort of off the wall in a since. Anyway all in all the movie was intense for a PG movie so be prepared and this is coming from someone that has never watched Chucky the movie because I am such a scaredy cat ! LOL

Wedding Show Excitement

It's Hump Day today and the week is almost over. I am finally starting to feel better and my friend and I are busting our chops making jewelry for this Wedding Show we are about to do in 2 weeks. I am excited because you usually don't see jewelry vendors at a wedding show. We are trying something different. It should be fun and it will help us get our name out there. I can't wait to show you guys some really pretty wedding jewelry we are working on.



I only have one piece up on my site right now that is a simple fresh water pearl necklace with black cc spacers. Very Pretty and simple. There is more to come. We are hoping we do some networking at the wedding show and hopefully get to know some brides to be. We would love to start doing custom pieces.





It's exciting to come up with pretty jewelry for someones special day. We would also like to do custom pieces for prom's. High school kids always know the latest trends so to make some custom pieces for them would be really cool too. We are also doing personalized picture jewelry, which is so much fun ! I love making things it just gets me so excited ! Happy Hump Day folks and if you know anyone getting married or high school kids looking for a fun piece of jewelry please keep us in mind.

Neti Pot Works

It is just about that time of year where my allergies drive me crazy. I have to load up on claritin. That is the only thing that works but the neti pot has been a savior. If you suffer from allergies or sinus problems like myself you must try the neti pot. I heard about the neti pot on Oprah years ago. It is gross looking but I swear by it. It really does work. Now this video may gross you out. So watch it at your own risk. But I found this video on you tube showing how it works. I use mine all the time !!

Friday Night



I had a fun filled weekend and I just had to share. Friday night I celebrated my friend C's birthday and I call her my country friend, because she lives out in the boonies. So I took the journey out that way and she wanted to do dinner at Chili's so we all ate and went for a fun game of bowling !! The bowling was fun and we all got tired of getting gutter balls so we had them put up the guards..ha and that is when the game was really on ! We all did a little video message to C !







We played for about 2 hours and at that point I was up way past my bedtime but then someone suggested going to club ATMOSPHERE ! (Imagine me saying it "club Atmosphere " slow and dramatic with spirit fingers )That is when the night got really twilightish and funny ! So club Atmosphere was in the country across the street from the bowling alley and jammed packed with locals I guess. We walk in and sat down at a table and just people watched..it was quite interesting !

We spotted a dude that looked like Biff from "Back to the Future " with a face full of zits and then we spotted a dude that looked liked the wizard from "Lord of the Rings " so serious and he had the long white beard and all and was dancing by himself to hip hop on the dance floor...yes that's right...I have never seen a dance quite like it. Then whenever they would play a slow song all these people would gather on the dance floor and just slow dance like a scene or flash back from an 8th grade dance.

That isn't even the best part. There was this girl that had on skin tight jeans with a tank top and bleach blond hair...that just took over the dance floor. You know those woman that seek attention from whomever, well that was this girl. There is always one nut up in a club. Well she was getting off on herself...she was dancing all slow and off beat and putting her hands through her hair and flipping it shaking her behind and slapping it...yes slapping it ..and we all couldn't help but laugh..and she had such a serious look on her face. You would swear she was getting paid on Soul Train ..haha !! It got to the point where men started pulling up chairs to watch her. It was so funny and disturbing at the same time.

Well I saved the best for last..we spotted a gweedo up in the house...I promise he looked like Pauly D from the Jersey Shore ! I asked him if I could take his picture because he looked like Pauly D and he kept saying west coast and throwing up the west side sign with his fingers !! I was like wow..that was a mistake..because he wouldn't leave us alone. This is how the conversation went.

Me : " Excuse me can I get a picture of you, because you look like Pauly D from the Jersey Shore

Random : Ha Jersey Shore...West side, west side,west side

Me : " Um, Ok can I get the picture "

Random :




Side note : This is the random on the left and Pauly D on the right, don't they look alike ?

Me: Thanks for the pic.

Random : Hahaha, yeah..I don't have any friends, I just moved from Cali. west side..will you be my friend

Me: I am sorry to hear that...ask my friend A if she wants to be your friend

Random to A : Will you be my friend

A : Put your hands down, you are using your hands to much to talk...now what ?

Random : I just moved here west side will you be my friend

Side note : I don't think you can see in the picture but he has a star tattooed on the side of his eye

A : Do you like woman ?

Random : ( just stared )

A : You can tell me we are all cool plus I will never see you again

Random : Umm I am not with that

A : Okay, you never answered my question

Random to Me : Lets go dance

Me : I dare you to dance by yourself

Random : Ok


We got rid of him at that point for awhile, and then when he came back we had enough of the weirdness so we all left !!



That's a lot for one night..wait until you hear about Saturday night !

Still recovering from this weekend

I had the most interesting weekend. I had two birthday parties to attend. One on Friday night and one on Saturday night. I haven't done back to back partying like that in a long time. I am still recovering. I slept all day on Sunday and I am still feeling the effects today. I didn't even drink, it's just my body is real tired. I am going to fill you all in with all the juicy details tomorrow. I just need to get my head together today. Believe me it is sooooo juicy I have video too !! Ha !
