Glitter Nail Art

Manicurist by trade, craft junkie by night!

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

If you can't tell by now, I love to create!

 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 20th

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!

Bow Making


I am sharing this video tutorial I found
on making infant bows. 


As many of you know, I love crafting! 
Crafting is my outlet to de-stress.  
I call it craft therapy.

I have been on a bow making kick.
 My youngest sister is having her second child,
and it's a sweet baby girl! I am beyond excited!

I cannot wait to make girly things like these cute little bows! It is going to be so fun having a new baby girl in the family.
