WHY ME?! Life Horror Stories

Today, I painted an area I had carefully sanded, cleaned, and taped off. I pulled a fan out of the closet to help dry it faster. I turned the fan on, and a million dust particles flew off onto the wet paint. -Carmen, Ohio.

Today, I cheated on my math exam. I still failed. -hopeless, New York


Today, I had to present a powerpoint infront of my class. When I was finished, no one clapped. On my way back to my seat, I slipped on a pencil and fell straight on my face. That's when everyone clapped. -Franigirl, Virginia.


Today, I lost a glove while snowboarding. I got off my board to find it, when a bunch of kids took the opportunity to kick my snowboard down the hill, while yelling "Run, Forrest, run!" as I frantically chased after it. -gumpy, New Hampshire


Today, I asked out a girl I like to a movie. She said "I hate babysitting." -Anonymous, Egypt


Today, I took a picture of myself and put it on Facebook. After I did so, I realized that in the background, you can see my crush's Facebook page up on my laptop. He tagged himself. -Anonymous, Connecticut


Today, I went on a date with a guy who seemed to be quite the gentleman. I was proven wrong when he told me to "shut it" during dinner, stiffed me on the bill, and then left me at the restaurant so he could get his own taxi home. -Ohdear, United Kingdom

Bags, bags, and more fabulous BAGS!

Pretty soon the focus of my Etsy shop with be purses ONLY. Right now, I'm working on some clutches for prom/formal season, and then I'll be making plenty regular sized handbags as well. My plan is to clearance out my shop and fill it with handbags. So if you love something, don't wait to buy it. Once its gone, it will be GONE. However, if you really really want me to make you something other than a handbag, send me a message and  we'll talk about creating custom order for you.

So like I said, I'm getting rid of everything in my shop and there will be a sale soon, so stay tuned to this blog, my Twitter, and my Facebook page (find the links to those on the left<<<)

Here's an example of what my upcoming handbags will look like. I just sold this one today!! Complete with bamboo handles and a magnetic snap :)

What I Wore: My First Outfit Post

I've been reading a few fashion blogs lately, so I decided to try out posting one of my outfits too. I broke a couple of fashion rules today. I wore a bright cardigan over a bright top. I also wore a dress over jeans. Here were the results:

Sorry you guys, I'm not a professional model OR photographer. Taking pictures of yourself is hard! Especially when you're trying to fit the whole outfit in. Anyways, what I've learned from this is that breaking fashion rules isn't always beneficial. I didn't really like how this one turned out after looking at the pictures. Plus the tube dress kept slipping down while I was playing tennis today (thank goodness for the t-shirt underneath!). Oh yeah, and I think this outfit makes my look kinda preggers. >_< Oh well, another day, another outfit.
