New projects

I can't believe it's already December! I still remember last December when I was fretting over what I was going to do for my daughter's 4th birthday party, and yet here we are again. This time though, I have ALOT more on my plate. For starters, my employer just informed me and the rest of my co-workers a little over a month ago that as of January 1, 2012 we will be employed by a new company. Though I still have a job, unlike so many other Americans, the transition of working for one company to a completely differently one is none the less very very stressful to say the least! Compounded by the fact that I lose an entire week of vacation AND the ABSOLUTE WORST part is that I am missing my cousins nuptials in Las Vegas New Year's Day:( That fact alone completely bums me out. But hey! This is life in the new economy... right? Right.


Enough about my drama! On to the fun stuff....


I love baking and crafting! I can't help it, they just make me happy. I don't have much time for either though considering I'm a single mom with a full time job but I get in what I can when I can. As a matter of fact, right now I am working on my cousin's bridal shower. I figure since I can't go to Vegas, I can at least try to make her celebration as memorable as I possibly can, plus, this gives me a perfect excuse to make things that I've been dying to try. It's a win win situation here folks; with my crafting OCD and millions of ideas I am sure that I can make this thing happen.


The design is going to be pretty basic since it was a last minute thing and it's so close to the holiday's but I'm still hoping that it turns out beautifully. I had so many ideas for the last party I planned that I ran out of time and energy to execute and I failed myself miserably.
I can't wait to post pics of that soon!


After the shower and the holidays, I plan on doing a weekly projects. I follow so many blogs and I see so many beautiful things that I want to create that I have finally decided to stop saying "I want to do that" and I will actually start doing. I hope that from these project inspirations I not only  help to inspire someone else but that I also am able to think of other projects that I can create on my own.


I look at different blogs and Etsy stores daily in awe. The magnitude of beauty that has been created sometimes just makes my brain go into complete overload thinking of all of the possibilities.Blogs and stores that I love just to name a few are  Bakarella, The Daring Kitchen, Cakes and Kids, TomKat Studio, Sprinkle Bakes, The Food Librarian, and The Pioneer Woman. I admire their work, courage and dedication that they have put into their craft. I love that they motivate me to want to create something beautiful. Something beautiful. But what?
Well...that's what we will find out in 2012.
I look very forward to this challenge!
