The Circus and Fun with Fake Flowers

 You know how hard it is to take picture with one hand without having that awkwardly placed arm in a picture? :P Takes lots of shots before you a decent picture. Anyways, hello everyone! Just a breif update about life here. Baby Girl is getting bigger as you can see from the picture below. We were having to much fun with the fake flowers and lash glue we had to come outside and take pictures.

Here's an upclose shot of the flowers on my face. Its great last minite fairy costume for your Halloween events. :)

And if you have good friend, you can even stick candy to her forhead. No worries, she is still my friend...even after I glued starburst to her forhead. :P

Other than being goofy with last glue. On a Friday my mama took my sister, Baby Girl and I to the circus!!!
Where we saw this and our heads hurt for the rest of the night!

Um... yeah.. that's their hair! These two are incrediable brave or insane.

And the elephants! They are one of our favorites. This was Baby Girl's first time and she kept pointing saying, "What dat? What dat?" So cute. But the acrobats and gymnists she surprising didn't care to much for. I found impressive. Who would use a see-saw leap onto people's shoulders? Someone way more brave and atheletic than me!

The lion tamer was pretty awesome as well. Baby Girl got a kick out of the tigers and lions. I see a theme here with the animals...

I have a few videos but they are very grainy and you hardly make anything out. After about 2 hour show and overpriced stuff cat later, we left happy campers and happy baby ready for a nap. :)
Overall been great so far this October!
COming soon will be a post and myabe youtuve video about Apple Butter FEstival!!!

Check out my fake flower fairy goofy video. :)

Influenster VoxBox: The Beauty Blogger

There is nothing like finding a good deal accept getting something completely free. And not just free coupons or samples, but full size products!
That is one of the big reasons I love Influenster Voxbox. Every so often you get this white box in the mail and it feels like Christmas!
A few months back I blogged about receiving the Mom Voxbox. This time, I got the Beauty Blogger Vox box. For those who don't know what Influesnter Voxboxes are, here is the basics of it. Influenster is a website that every few months sends out a box, entirely free, to certain qualifying people to try out other companies products. Companies that you know like Stash Tea, Ivory soap, Maybaline make-up, etc. These companies usually want you to try out new products or try out old products that they might want to improve or take off shelves, etc.
After you try out their products you go back to the Influenster Website and leave your honest opinion. What you liked about it, what you didn't like, what you think they could do to improve. They want your complete honesty! And for the products you love, share them with everyone! Tell them how much you love and send them to Influenster!
To qualify for these boxes of free stuff, you earn badges off the websites from your review and surveys you can take. The more and in depth you do, the more chances you get at receiving Voxboxes. There are more details through Influenster website link below.
Today! I want to share with you my curtain box. The Beauty Blogger box! I am not much of beauty guru, but I still love to get my hands on some good products to try out and makes ya feel perty!

First thing I pulled out was my eye shadow palette from NYC.  Its a pretty dark colors than I am used too, but I think its suppose to give that dramatic smoky eye effect. I love that is comes with it own primer and illuminator. I think it would great for the coming holidays. I will try to do a Halloween make up look to post here and on youtube. :) Probably try it out with these eyelashes that were the next thing to pull out of the box.

Forgive that the picture is sideways! LOL. Anyways, These are pretty dramatic eye lashes. I was not much one for fake eyelashes. I tried a few out back when, just to play around. I already have pretty long eye lashes, plus mine are dark brown. Black can sometimes over take me, but I think these would be well worth trying out for Halloween look. :) These are the starter kit from Ever Pro lashes.

The next thing I pulled out were the two things, Not Your Mother's Frizzy Hair Cream Control  and the Eboost daily health booster. The hair cream, I really want to try. I don't have super frizzy hair, but I do have my bad days. I also want my sissy to try it out. I think it would work great for her
The Eboost, I will try, but Hubbyman might be the one to try it out more. Being pregnant, I am not sure if I should try and energy booster. But I will try it out to see how it makes me feel.

The next product and by far my most favorite is the mini Bath and Body Works candle from their Autumn collection. It also came with coupon to get one of the bigger candle for only $10 bucks, which these candles are normally prices 25-30 bucks.  I love the mini candle scent. It smells like my Grandmother's house during the fall outside. I think though I will get Leaves or Pumpkin spice one when I go to get a bigger candle. I love fall scents. Every need to buy at least one or two Fall or Holiday candle to burn in their home.

The last product, which sadly I could not get a picture of was these hair Spin Pins. Basically a long pin that is twisted so when you spin it into your hair it holds your hair up. I actually tried them out and the hold fine wavy hair like mine, to heavy curly hair like my sisters. :)

Anyways, that is my Beauty Blogger Voxbox openning review! Check out the Influenster Website link below as well as my review video on youtube. Also watch for a coming Halloween make or costume videos!
Until another day!

Christmas Button Card Craft :)

Hello everyone! Its that time of year to start thinking about Christmas. And for me, it time to break out the paper and glue and make Christmas cards. But if you are like me, my time is short and so I need to make cute Christmas cards without it taking up too much time. So as much I love the embellished, hidden pocket, flowered and ribbonfied cards, I have to settle for simpler and faster made cards that are still as cute. :)

The supplies you will need to make these cute button Christmas cards are

Supplies:

Double sided themed card stock

Buttons. Varies sizes and colors work and are more fun.

Twine or kitchen string

Glue

Scissors

Christmas message stamp or pretty hand writing :)

First measure your card to be 4 1/4x 5 1/2 inch cards. You can make them bigger, but I found this size to be much nicer and easier to work with. If you can tell on the left, I used ink to distress the edges to give the card more simplistic homemade look. :)

 Next place and glue your buttons down. I found it easier to use glue dots for the buttons. Also make sure you leave enough space for stamp to leave your holiday message on the front. You can stamp first if you like and then arrange the buttons around it. Its entirely up to you.

 Then measure and cut your string so it meets the top of your button and to the edge of your card at the fold. Leave a little extra for easier handling. You will cut that off later after the glue is dried

 Some of them I tied bows at one end. :)

 This part is the trickiest. Glue the string down. I just uses stick glue and rubbed it across the string then laid it down where is suppose to go. The buttons and strings should look like the picture above.

 As the glue is drying you can stamp or write your holiday message  in the empty space. I hand wrote "Merry Christmas" in because it added to the simplistic look.

 Once the glue is dry cut the extra off and there ya go. A cute and simple care for you to give to someone you love.

Here is another simple idea for Christmas card is to use Christmas themed or colored card stock and then using a ribbon to glue down an tie a bow in the center. It look like a little present. Here I used lace ribbon, which gives it an old time gift look.
I hope you enjoy these ideas and enjoy making them.

Craft away my friends and enjoy your day

Reminiscing and Fall

AH! Fall...For some reason, fall always makes me look back and remember what has happened in the last few years.

I remember over two year ago, I got married to the love of my life. :) Two months afterwards we found out I was pregnant with Poppseed. Sadly Mother's Day, our little guy went ot heaven. That September though we found I was pregant again with our daughter, Strawberry.

 Back in April we found again, I was pregnant with another little angel, our little Kiwiseed. (No, our kids are not truely named after seeds. I think they would hate us and put us in the worse nursing homes if we actually did that. :P )

Here is the terrible picture, but this is my current prego belly!
 The sweet memories and the more memories to come/.
Anywhoalls!
For updates. Oh yes, I am going to brag here. I need only 3 presents then Christmas shopping will be done!
I won;t rub it anymore. :)

I got a hair cut!  Again, please don't mind the bad picture. Husband is using our good camera. But hey at least the pale skin looks like something for Halloween....I think I almost look like I would glow in dark! Eep!

But the hair is 5 inches shorter and curls alot better. I will post better pictures this weekend. :)

I also got new boots and a purse. (Mind this purse is big, because I have to fit purse stuff and diaper bag stuff in it.) I think I will do a whole new post about that this weekend, since I also have wedding to go to this Saterday.

I alos have another Pregnant and Planning Christmas video coming up for youtube and another blog post and making Christmas cards and cookies!


Anyways. More to come. Watch out for more video on youtube and check up oftne :)

Until another day

Pictures of a goofy baby girl

Well sorry for not posting much in September. I thought I had more time. Before I knew it it was October. I still feel like August is around somewhere. Someone must have stolen a few days.

But I have brief update of my September. I have been vlogging more. I missed a week, but that is okay. I had an interview for job. No worries. It not full time thing. Its would be just be a few hours every week as breastfeeding consultant. Hopefully it goes through, so prayers would be appreciated.

Other than that, it just been lots of holiday planning, wedding shopping for friends, and taking pictures of baby girl. So far these are the best ones

 Not sure where she was pointing, but she kept pointing somewhere off in the park and I would follow her. No smile though. :/

 Then I have about 50 of these. No smile, but really cute! I just wanna tickle that belly!

And then this one tops the cake. Not sure what she's doing here, but it funny! What caption would you use for the picture?

Anyways, so failing to be a good photographer, I have ...well...September has just been super busy. K?

Anywhoalls, more stuff coming soon!

Toodles!
