Drink! Drink! Drink...Drink some more...

so lately i have been so depressed. I just miss my friends in AZ so much. Its been a year and a half since i moved and i am going crazy. I try to keep in contact but none of them have phones, none of 

them check their face books ,none of them write back. i know they miss me. we just aren't big on phones. before i would get in the car and show up to their house and now i can't do that. I even had apartments with most of them at different times. We went through tattoos, piercings, parties, shows, bad haircuts, boys, girls, drunken nights, cashed bowls, cars, 1 million games of rummy, one night stands, weight losses, jobs, everything together. i have been friends with shelly (pictured above on right) since 3rd grade and her older sister Reneee since 4th grade  (pictured below on the right)

shelly and i spent so many days wondering around, eating popcorn and nachos so much i don't know how we never gained weight. we shared 2 apartments together and were sisters with different parents. Renee was my partner in crime. We partied together almost everyday for the year before i moved. we spent everyday at the pool or the pool hall. we had fun with the boys. many nights cuddling because i was scared of the dark. 

I met gravy (left) when i was 18. he was my bf at the times best friend. the second i met him i knew i would never meet anyone like him again. He is the nicest guy in the world. he can be an asshole when he drinks but i still love him. we had 2 apartments together. we went through brake ups and some of the best shows ever. 

Later i met jen (on the right) she was my ex boyfriends sister. he moved away but before he moved he introduced me to his sister. this chick is crazy and i love her. every friday night you could find us at the club getting wasted in the bathroom so we can save money for the cab ride home. we were always coming up with new ways to smoke ganja and get our tans on. i loved her michigan accent. to this day she is the only person i could sit on the phone with for long hours. when i moved i lost her number and she doesn't have a Facebook. i miss her so much

I have so many crazy memories of my friends. we definitely knew how to party. Maybe too much. i lost my beer belly and my scars have healed but now i feel its been way to long since i have spent time with them. on more than one occasion we would wake up with mohawks or dyed hair and not remember what happened. i was notorious for blacking out while drinking. if it weren't for my camera we would be lost. too much beer, pot, boys, summer heat, pizza, mosh pits, sleepless nights, but it was worth it.

New stuff in my shop

Not much exciting happened today, I took my stepdad to the hospital and drove everyone around. Don't worry he's ok. he goes a lot. but any ways i put some things up in my shop so i will post them on here. go check them out if you like. i lowered all my prices so everything is either $5 or $10. nothing more nothing less.

 sorry i am in a lazy mood today. hope you like my new stuff

So much pretty stuff today

I received 3 of my packages today, yay! its hard because i want to save a little bit of money but when ordering outside of the united states it takes forever because of customs and all that. I have so many little knick knacks i can't stop looking at them. i have hello kitties, tea cups, pandas, ice creams, my melody, and all kinds of other stuff! they should be up in my shop here soon. I will have all kinds of new items and supplies. i just have to come up with prices.

Also i think i have decided to stop using the post office by my house. I want to help out small business and its a mom and pop shop but they charge me almost twice as much as the big post office. with lower shipping charges i can lower it for my customers as well. currently i get charged $3.25 for every package i send plus the cost of the shipping envelope(.69 cents). I decided make my own and that brought my expenses down to .18 cents each and go with the big post office which charges $1.50-$1.99. i am getting my prices and shipping as low as possible to keep my customers happy which makes everyone happy!

also i decided to go to walgreens just to spend some money and i bought some cotton candy flavored ice cream. at $2 you can't pass it up! it is absolutely delicious and hard to stop eating it. and i bought some spring colored nail polishes. even though 2 of them were sally hansen they were on sale for $2 each and the wet N' wild was just .99 cents. they showed up so shiny! i hate buying light colors because they require like 3 coats and then a top coat to make it shine but with these it was 2 light coats and it was done and it dried pretty fast even though its not quick dry. my nails are ready for easter

just look at those colors! Yummmy. i am never going to the ice cream shops again. I'm just going to stock up on these. i will sacrifice my bikini body for this delicious stuff!

It was a lazy day i just wore jeans and a band shirt. But i did put makeup on. I can't wait to make stuff with my new supplies. I guess now that i have them it was worth the wait but it was such a looooong wait!

Oh what a day....

To start off this was my outfit today. i want to make it clear that i do not consider myself lolita, gyaru, or anything to that matter. I use inspiration from those wonderful styles in my own style. I basically wear anything that makes me look and feel sexy and does not show too much skin and my boyfriend likes it. Because lets face it, most men do not understand lolita or gyaru. Actually most fashion risks men do not understand or appreciate. so i just wear clothes i like that make my boyfriend drool. I wish i could walk around all day everyday in OTT lolita clothes from head to toe and just be a princess, but people would not understand. Also i am not self disciplined enough or wealthy enough to pull it off. it takes a real life princess to be OTT lolita. but i do love creating accessories for girls who wear the styles even just for special occasions. Or just any girl who likes unique jewelry.

So today was interesting, i had my cute outfit and i went to the mall with my brother, boyfriend, and his son. we walked around but i did not see anything i liked. I hate shopping at the mall because so many people buy the same outfits. when i lived in tempe AZ it was a nightly thing where you go to a party or a club and there are multiple girls with the exact same outfit.

so instead we went to an antique mall and i didn't see much but the last store we stopped into had a secret hidden treasure!!!!! the store had a lot of furniture and hidden behind some books was a.....

 SUPER AWESOME 80'S BRAND NEW LISA FRANK LUNCHBOX WITH THE THERMOS AND CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY! I got it for a steal!

Then after that we went to go see a pig at a local farm have little piglets! it was so cute! i got lots of pictures

There were 8 little piglets born when we got there. i couldn't believe they were already eating and walking! they were so cute.

And then we met Robert the sweetest cow. He almost convinced me to give up meat.  its bound to happen sooner or later since i live in a house full of vegetarians and vegans.

Robert likes to give hugs as best he can. when you pet him he will wrap his head around your body and nestle you (and cover you in cow slime) It was the sweetest thing. And when you walk away he cries for you to come back. I don't think he knows he is a big cow, in his mind he is a baby.

So that was my day so far..its only 5:30 in the afternoon. I'm grateful for days like today.

uugggh, its too hot!

Finally the heat has become unbearable. I live in a built on room away from A/C access and it has become a sauna. I spend all day in my underwear laying on my tile floor. The thing i really am bummed about is no more cute socks or beanies.
 Everyone who knows me, knows that i have a obsession with beanies and scarfs and also socks. I have more socks and panty hose than anything else. So summer is a bummer for me. I hate open toe shoes because i have ugly feet so i cover them in cute shoes. I wish i could just wear gloves everyday and cover my hands up too.

So last night the lottery was at 640 million, i never gamble but i like to pretend. I think its time i start gambling, i looked to my numerology book to find my lucky lotto numbers and the numbers i came up were were exactly the same (minus one) and in the exact same order they called them....i spent the rest of the night drinking wondering "what if..." i still can't believe the numbers i chose were the ones they called almost exactly.

But on a positive note i got a big order on etsy last night so it cheered me up. I love this customer because she buys all my finished cute stuff, no custom requests, no supplies, no clearance stuff. Just things i put a lot of love and thought into and she likes them just the way they are. EXCEPT i was missing one ring and am almost positive it was stolen by a family member who does not live with me. I can't trust anyone here. It was a cute panda ring and its gone! but i decided to load her with goodies not shown on my etsy. because i love them. 

 Heres a picture of the order, i just think it is all so cute. I will be sad to see it go but happy she has them

 Heres one of the free items i threw in to make up for the lost ring its a big cute gold necklace

 Heres one of the more popular items on my site, it is just so happy and cute!

Heres one of my handmade rilakkuma bear rings. the paint job is sloppy but its the best i could do 

these are a few of the hair pins i offer in my shop for $5. i think she cleaned me out of all the cute kawaii animals but i have plenty of material to make more upon request. She ordered the purple heart shaped pin with the cute cat and the big yellow circle shaped pin with the bunnies and cat. the round pink one with the teddy bear holding a lollipop i put in for free. I really hope she enjoys the order. 

well i guess thats all today, tomorrow i have a few things going on but tonight i will enjoy the night alone and do some  crafting. I have a whole list of things i want to finish and a whole other list of items i want to start. i think i have plenty of jewelry made, time to move on. 

Later

I'm overrun with supplies!

so I have been blessed with a big room, big enough to do all my crafting in it. but now it has become overrun with supplies! everyone gives me their unused supplies which is great but now i have enough supplies to open a shop! in december i used all my birthday and christmas money and bought supplies and its been great because I'm just starting to get out of the hole i dug after spending all that money. i didn't realize how expensive it would be. 

It's nice because i have everything i could ever dream of but its a little overwhelming! right now i have a screen printer, sewing machine, embroidery machine, tattoo gun, computer, printer, scanner, camera....and all the things that come along with them. i just don't know where to start haha. so i started with jewelry. i had never made any before so i thought it would be a challenge. its been very expensive but fun. 


And guess what? more supplies came in today, stuff i ordered a month ago. thats exactly what i need, more stuff. but its all cute and girly. I'm gonna keep a few and sell the rest. i noticed no one really wants my finished products, they just want supplies. which is fine but its hard to make a profit. or even make it worth your time. but you have to go with what works. 

crafting would be funner if i had a friend to hang out with who was into crafting but i have realized that the people in this town are horrible horrible people. never have i met people so concerned about themselves. they are pushy, rude, liars, thieves, drug addicts, bad drivers, just mean mean people. i was born here but i left for 17 years and lived in Phoenix Arizona. but now I'm back at the border of texas and mexico. i can't wait to get out of here. after a year of living here i have not made one friend. i have been hurt by a lot of people and finally i decided to just hang out by myself and my henry (my teddy bear...dont laugh)

     

ok...so another post real quick!

 I just finished shooting the new pics for my new ice cream necklaces today ($10 in my shop) i had so much fun i wanna make like 50 more. i will also have chocolate and vanilla soon. i'll wait till these ones sell. i have too much in my shop as it is. I still have like 650 finished products just collecting dust.

 I hope to get some fans and some new customers. I am pretty close with a few customers and it makes me feel like they are friends. i give everyone the "friend" price and i have gotten a lot of great feedback from people who started out as strangers and now we have chats just for fun. now i have a place to make "friends" and have chats and get feedback on new products. i would post deals and coupons but no one has time to check for that stuff so i made everything in my shop $10 or less. all day everyday first customers or people who have ordered multiple times. times are tough and its nice to get yourself little gifts here or there. and it makes my day making them. i can't work because i take care of my stepdad and it requires me to be available all day everyday at different times so i found a way to make a little money here or there. but i obviously can't afford a manicure ;)
