Single and so ready to mingle !

I haven't updated my blog in a little over a week because it seems as if I am being tested in each and every way in these last few months. I was debating on if I should talk about it on my blog or not but I decided that maybe I should. I am now single, Mr.C and I broke up and I am so grateful that we did. If you have been following me since the beginning then you would know that we have known each other since high school and come to find out his whole entire life is a lye ! I have known him for 16 years and we dated for 7 years and broke up for years and last year before my sisters wedding he " confessed his love for me " and told me that he was moving.

Come to find out he had been living a double life over the past year and I won't go into detail but I will say he is the devil he is an anti-Christ...he has pure evil and hate in his heart. I don't understand how one person can be so evil and disrespectful ! I don't want to understand because I am a good hearted person and I would never think to do the things he has done to me over all these years and especially this last year. I am just glad that I found out now, what happened. What if we got married and he started living this crazy double life that he thought was acceptable. The funny thing is he wasn't going to tell me anything at all. God is so good because what happens in the dark comes out in the light !!

I am not hurting over this or upset in anyway shape or form. I was just shocked to find out that there truly are evil people that exist in this world. He was acting like Tiger Woods but doesn't have a pot to piss in and a window to throw it out of ! The nerve of some people. I don't feel like I need to put him on blast and reveal his name or get back at him because karma is a bitch and he will get his. He will get his when he least expects it and it will come back to him double fold. You can't live your life walking around messing with other innocent people's lives and thing that you can get away with it.

I am so blessed that I don't ever have to see him or be apart of his selfish ways again ! That is the best news !! I am now single and ready to mingle ! I will at least have some juicy stories to share on my blog about dating..hahah !

Wishful Wednesday

Today I am going to take part in Wishful Wednesday from the lovely Seattle Smiths

Today's wishful Wednesday topic is about a store you would use as your personal closest !

I Wish I had Nordstrom as my personal closet and could shop from it daily !

Who doesn't love Nordstroms ?! Love that store and the clothes are fabulous and there lingerie is so sexy..love it all !

Craft Time

I am back to the blog world and it seems like if I don't blog for a few days I loose a few followers. What is up with that ? I often wonder if anyone even reads my blog ? Am I blogging for nothing or do people actually read my blog ? I ask that because I don't get a lot of comments for the amount of people that are following me. It makes me wonder some times ??!? In the next few months I am going to be making some changes to my blog and I can't wait to share.

Anyway moving on..I was so sick over the weekend. I started getting a cough last week and then all of a sudden I got a fever and went to the doctors and I have bronchitis and a sinus infection. There is something going around. I am back to work today and feeling better but still have a little cough !

Over the weekend since I was stuck in bed I caught up on some orders from my etsy shop and made some gifts for some friends !!

This is a one strand mommy bracelet for a new mommy that just had a little girl.

This is pretty popular and as you have more kids you add to the strand you can have a 2 strand or 3 strand mother bracelet...I love it !!

This was a gift for my friends little girl that just turned one years old !! All made with sterling silver letter beads and swarovski crystals !

This one was a custom order for a young lady who wanted a sorority bracelet. The delta sorority ! All of these bracelets are sterling silver letter beads and swarovski crystals !

Even though I was stuck in bed all weekend I had fun doing what I love !

New Winner

Hello All...I announced the winner for the picture necklace and ring giveaway a few days ago and unfortunately I didn't hear anything from her with in these past 48 hrs so that was part of the rules so I went ahead and picked a new winner using Random.org

How it works is a random number is picked and for those that had 2 entries they were counted twice...total number of people who signed up for the giveaway were 14 but because we never heard from the original winner the total number is 13 and with those with an extra entry it put the number up to 18.

So here goes...and good luck !

Number 18 Winner is Kristen ! Congratulations and I will be e-mailing you !

My First Sewing Project ?!?

I am proud to say I took my 3 hour sewing class last week and I learned the basics and I am no longer scared to take on the sewing machine. I must say the lady that taught the class was definitely a talker. She talked and talked and talked and we really only sewed for like 5 minutes. That is all I really wanted to do. She did however go over how to thread your machine and the bobbins and how to clean your machine, so that was helpful. I asked her while I was there what sort of needle I needed to use to sew my paper wallets, and she said to use a thicker needle. I got the needle she told me to get and  I took notes and I went home and finally tried it on my own. 

I dusted off my sewing table

and got all my paper wallets ready and..

I changed the needle in my machine with the needle the lady told me to get and I changed the stitch and went at it and this is what happened..

My paper wallets got all ripped up and the thread got all tangled on the wallet and in my machine...do you see all the thread I pulled out of my machine on my sewing table ? Yeah it was a hot mess and so then I had to take the bobbin out because the thread was all tangled up and...

whipped out my manual so that I can make sure I was doing it right. I cleaned out all the tangled thread and gave up on trying to sew paper wallets. It just didn't work and I have seen them sewn before so I don't know how they do it. I will have to watch some YouTube videos and work it out. However, I did have a cute little summer sweater that had a tiny hole in it and I sewed that up no problem. I realized last night that a sewing machine is just for fabric I guess ??!! My next project will probably be something simple like a pillow ! Ha !

My play niece was my little helper last night and picked the winner of the giveaway ! Thank you to all who participated and there will be another giveaway next month some time. Stay tuned for details ! The winner has 48hrs to respond to the e-mail if not a second name will be drawn...Congratulations to the winner !

Life Lessons

You may have thought I didn't see,

Or that I hadn't heard,

Life lessons that you taught to me,

But I got every word.

Perhaps you thought I missed it all,

And that we'd grow apart,

But Dad, I picked up everything,

It's written on my heart.

Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be

The woman I am today;

You built a strong foundation

No one can take away.

I've grown up with your values,

And I'm very glad I did;

So here's to you, dear father,

From your forever grateful kid.
