Card Day

 Hello?

Hi!!!!! :)

I had so many cards to choose from because I had to make a whole shwack load for the market on Saturday. It has been a crazy week. With the long weekend and My Paddy being off on Monday it's like a whole work day was lost! {Oh wait...it was!!!} Last week was my best day ever at the market and I almost sold out of everything!!!! Great news for the company - bad news for inventory. LOL But that's ok, we spent Sunday out and about at our favorite flea markets and found loads of furniture to upcycle!!! Plus, I have been sewing up a storm the last 2 days making accent pillows for our furniture and Bitchy Bags galore!!! :) I got some amazing fabric on Monday and so there are some super cute new styles and colors!

Check them out HERE.

Ok today's card is a thank you card!! No particular reason just cause I needed one. My poor family and friends...they haven't been getting very many cards!!! LOL

I started with white card stock for the base and added a strip of the green polka dot see through ribbon I love so much. I used one of those mini cards from Michael's I got years ago and just cut off the back so I only had the "Thanks" side. I have done this with almost all these mini cards and it's awesome! I mounted it on bright orange card stock to make it pop. I added one white and green leather flower that I got in a vintage bag of buttons from a Church garage sale :) Loves those buttons!

That's it today...

My friend from dance is coming over today for lunch. That's all my news.

Cheers,

Messy

Outfit Post - Sun Sun Sunshine!

I wore this little ditty out and about doing errands the other day. It was so hot and humid and I didn't want to wear anything but a cool breezy dress!

I got this at a Vintage store in Calgary, but I am guessing it is no longer around since I can't find them online anymore :(

I love this spot in my backyard for photos. The greeneery behind is so pretty and makes me look happy! LOL

So sunny and cheerful!!!

Ta da!

Hair Cutting Day

Wow...I am going full force with this style makeover aren't I? heehee I loves it!!!!

Today I decided to cut myself swoopy bangs. I have had them before many years ago, but I have never completely cut them myself.

I started by googling it of course because I knew there had to be a video out there somewhere. I used this pretty ladies vlog about it! :)

Then I went to the bathroom and did it myself.

Here we go:

This is me following the video steps :)

After I showered and styled my hair to see how I did. I have to say I am even getting better at doing my own hair. I still get extremely frusterated, but at least I don't give up anymore and put it up. LOL

I love them!!!! I think it turned out very well! But we will see what I think after living with them through the wind. LOL

Check out the video so you can cut your own bangs!!!

Cheers,

24 Hour Cottage Try - Out

As I mentioned...

Last week I went to my Bestest Neighbor Friend's cottage for a night on Golden Lake.

It was absolutely amazing.

I have never been to a cottage per say, but I thought everythhing about it was fantastic. I was so relaxed...completely stress free.

The kidlets had a fabulous time and we had so much fun swimming, fishing and eating smores. :)

I bought the kidlets Warheads when I was in town one day and I thought they would LOVE them!!! We used to eat them like crazy!!!! I will say it was the funniest thing ever to see them try them out!!! hahahahaha I'm evil.

They did love Pop Rocks though!!! :)

We spent one full day basking in the heat and playing in the water.
It was perfect for me and Joely becuase the water is only about 3 feet tall at it's deepest. So, it would be pretty hard for us to drown since we can't swim. :)

 We even got the best Strawberry Daquiri's from my Bestest Neighbor Friend's Aunt who was also staying at the resort. So yummy....now those could get you drunk! LOL 

Fishing was the top sport!!!

 I had such a good time that by the end I decided that I needed to get a cottage next summer.

So, I booked one week at the same time as all my friends next summer and me, my Paddy and his son will go up together!!!!

I'm so excited I can hardly sleep already!!!!

All in all....I should have gone for the full week! LMAO!

Cheers,

S.

Outfit Post ~ Meeting My Paddy

Today I went to meet my Paddy for lunch.

It is rare that he is working close enough to home for me to be able to do this, so it was so nice.

I dressed up all cute on purpose. :)

I have been having this new thing with letting a little belly show. LOL I have worked hard to keep this body and have gained a lot of muscle from dance the last year. So...why not??? I can maybe only pull it off for another year so better do it now! LOL

Hope you all are having a lovely day!

Cheers,

Lalala...Card Day!

I haven't posted a card in FOREVA!!!

I had to bang out a whole bunch of them because I sold so many at the market a couple weeks ago!

Loves it!!!

I started with plain white cardstock for the base of the card. I ahve this stunning deep purple thick ribbon and it is so silky and beautiful. I have wanted to use it forever!!!! I wrapped it around the whole card and tied a nice knot, clipping the ends into peeks. I added this circular "Just Married" sticker ontop after I mounted it on violet cardstock. I added the purple flower with the white bead centers for a little somethin' extra. :)

I seem to sell my wedding cards the fastest - tis' the season I guess! LOL

Cheers,
S.
