Roughly how I plan to do the inside of my closet. I posted what it looks like now (only cleaner) in a previous post.
How my little desk will look- CLEAN. lol. Seriously, it has my Cricut AND my sewing machine on it right now, both turned sideways. NOT cool!
How I want my big desk and small cart to be set up. I don't have the terrariums yet, but I am going to make them soon. I am totally going to get and use a cake stand for one of them! It's gonna looks SOOOO awesome!
How it will look as you walk into it, tentatively. I'm pretty excited!

New toy!

Hello all, how are you this evening? I'm doing SPLENDIDLY. :D My wonderful DH just got me a late birthday present. Anyone care to take a stab at what it is? No? Fine then, I'll just tell you. lol. He got me..... A CRICUT EXPRESSION! Not only the Expression, but he also got me the Sure Cuts a Lot cartridge, which should arrive tomorrow! (OMG, that's TODAY now!) I'm SOOOOOO excited! My friend Gabrielle is coming down from Mississippi for a visit, and she just found out that she is pregnant, so we are going to have a BLAST cutting out all kinds of baby stuff for her! I am going to go design some now, actually, just to play with inkscape before SCAL gets here. I'm also REALLY stoked about Gabrielle and her husband, Steven (you might remember them from my post about the Ren Faire last year) coming down for a visit, but I'm sad, too, cuz they are going to Germany for 2 years soon. :( But hey, there is always internet and snail mail, right? :D I'm gonna make her stuff with the Cricut, and mail it to her over there, too! Yay! I also finished her surprise gift, but I'm not gonna post any pics, just in case she peeks at my blog. :) I'll post them after she gets it. I think she's gonna LOVE it! Hmmm...... I just thought of something else to make her, too. *evil grin* I love ideas! lol. Oh, I'm gonna COMPLETELY change my craft area around, including building shelves and making a desk out of matching filing cabinets. Yayness! I'll take a picture of my sketches in a minute, and post them via Picasa. have you guys checked out picasa? It's the GREATEST photo organization and uploading software EVER, and it's totally FREE! Yeah, so check it out. :)

Busy, busy, busy!

Hello everyone out here in blogland! You all have my sincerest apologies for not rambling lately. First off, I would like to tell you all that Thursday, April 16th, will be my husband's and my FOURTH anniversary! Yay! (Keep in mind that I am 23 years old, ya'll.) Second, I would love to announce that HE FINALLY HAS A JOB! WHOOT! He is now a cook for a local buffet, and he gets not only his 40 hours a week, but he has gotten at LEAST 2 hours of overtime every week so far! Sweet!

Ok, done with HUGE announcements. Just to share, though, he got me the project runway limited edition sewing machine for our anniversary, and I let him build a new PC- which means that I am currently using his OLD PC, which leaves MY old PC in the dust. :) Win-win, plus an extra win when we set up my old one to use our phone (remember the magic jack post?) and to download my scrapping stuff, etc., on. Yay again!

Oh yeah, we got a mini van. Yes, a mommy mobile. I am SOOOOOOO happy! (I walked to work for almost 4 months, ya'll! Grrrr!) It's a Chevy Venture, for anyone who wants to know. Oh, and it has a built in carseat for Bubba! How awesome is THAT?

So I have this favorite shirt, from way back in the day, that I HAD to wear another shirt under. It's a Thundercat shirt, just plain black with the big red logo, but the fabric had a rather LARGE hole in it, where the screenprinting met the black, and in the eyes, mouth, etc. I also found a super sale at JoAnn's Fabric, Simplicity patterns for 99 cents! I mean, c'mon, they cost between $10 and $16 EASY on a normal basis. So I stocked up, duh. ;) One of the patterns that I got, from the new "Go Green" scheme, involves making a recycled purse out of- you guessed it- and old tee shirt! So I am in the process of making the COOLEST Thundercat purse EVER. By the way- this is my FIRST pattern, EVER, so I am having a teensy weensy bit of trouble, and am definitly wishing that I hadn't started with my fave shirt. Oh well, what's done is done, and I'm gonna make it, regardless. *setsmindtoit* I'll post pics when (if) it's ever done.

In the latest *sad* news, my friend Gabrielle and her hubby are going to be moving even farther away the Mississippi. He is being stationed in GERMANY! In *happy* news of the same topic, I can SO send her money so she can send me nifties from somewhere that has a LOT to do with my past! (My grandfather's grandfather escaped during the holocaust, and his aunt was formerly a princess in the Black Forest, until she married an American soldier and was disowned. Fun times, huh?) So, Gabrielle and Steven, I wish you both the best of luck! I'm gonna miss you even more than I do when you are only (a lot of) states away. :(

Oh yeah, my daughter will no longer be called anything but "Princess". Yeah. She points to herself and says "I princess" every time you call her anything else, such as the nickname she has had since BIRTH, "Monkey", and even her own name on many occasions. lol. She's so cute!

Well, I have to try to get PhotoShop to work on this computer, or else I am going to have 2 PCs hooked up in here, and will most likely blow the circuit breaker. 0_o *Sadness*
