Just one of those days!

Today was just one of those days, having to do a ton of paperwork!

 Well, I failed to do it!

I made a pie and begged the hubby to make 

me something for my ribbon mess.

He made it and I painted it.

The problem is, I have way too much ribbon!  

    

Burlap Wreath

SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

    1½ yd burlap
    12" wire wreath frame
    1 spool floral wire or 26-gauge jewelry wire

Glitter Nail Art

Manicurist by trade, craft junkie by night!

I love being a Manicurist because it is another creative outlet for me.

 I just love the glitter and absolutely love what I do!

Reagan's Early Arrival

Our "plan" did not end up how we had hoped.  

We were called at 10:42 pm with my sister saying, "I think I am in labor!".

She was born at 1:15 am. I am so thankful they were only 5 minutes away from hospital and my sister

 did not diddle daddle any longer! 

Last night I started making headbands for her. She is so tiny, only 6.5 pounds.

 I am going bow crazy! 

  Meet my beautiful niece Reagan.

Race for the Cure!

I had the honor of working with a wonderful group of people for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. The race was held at Fresno State on October 20^th. 

We were called the Ta Ta Avengers! I decided to contribute homemade lip balms for the group to hand out to people as they were walking. 

Featured below are two wonderful women, Cris and Tina. Tina, the captain, was the one who rallied all of us together for the race. Cris, the co-captain, actually battled breast cancer and luckily the doctor’s caught it early on. She is such an inspiration! 

As much as I wanted to attend the race with my team, it was too difficult considering how recently we lost my father-in-law to cancer. 

It was a beautiful day for a wonderful cause!
