Who has a Cricut or Silhouette ?

ADDICTED TO VINYL?

I am!!  

ALL the colors, ALL the types, ALL the feels!!
Vinyl, vinyl, vinyl...

I used my birthday money to buy me a Silhouette machine!
NOT an original idea, I found out! 

It seems as though today EVERYONE has either a cricut or a silhouette !  I was thinking I could make shirts and various vinyl creations, as a side gig, to my stay at home mom job of keeping other babies, besides my own! It started out good, you know showing stuff I made on FaceBook, getting orders from my friends & family, of course I wasn't ( and still don't ) charge as much as I should. Mostly because people don't want to pay what it's "worth". 
Especially when you can get "vinyl" shirts so cheap online somewhere, or at Target & Walmart!

SO I love doing custom creations, that maybe you can't find at Target or Walmart! Of course I've done shirts you could find at these places, but the difference is on a shirt that you like, in the color you like, so that makes it a custom shirt! I've also done lots of other projects, other than shirts. 
Here's the link to my album on Facebook:

What people don't understand is you have to buy lots of accessories to go along with the cutting machine. Not to mention tons of vinyl, to have colors & types on hand, you know.....in case you get an order! It never fails, I don't have THE color a customer wants, so I'll have to order it. Well the shipping on one sheet of vinyl is insane! That alone makes you go in the hole on a project! So of course I order the minimum amount to get FREE shipping, hoping one day I'll get to use all this vinyl I'm purchasing! 

It's a lot of fun,  but it can be an expensive hobby! 

I just love to craft, and my busy schedule doesn't leave me a lot of time to be as creative as I would like! 
How do you fit in your creative time?

Sweet Momma Kitty

Sweet Momma Kitty

So.... this has happened at our house! 
Please don't tell me how irresponsible we are for letting this happen.  It has happened and we will make sure the babies go to good homes. We will probably keep one! Maybe the grey one.


I have always found nature just amazing.  It has been amazing for my daughter to watch this momma kitty taking care of these babies, and how naturally it comes for the momma. All of their needs are being met, and momma kitty is fierce in protecting them. They are precious,  and will be so well loved that they will be extremely hard to give up. 

Until they are ready for new homes we will just enjoy a lazy summer, playing with & loving these new precious lives!

I'm Back.......Again

OMGoodness !!

It has been four years since I have blogged! 
Planning on changing that.  

I need a space where I can come and be myself, and get opinions as well as give opinions! 

Just a little update on me.

I now have a 5th grader!! Where has the time gone?
I have been babysitting and it takes a lot of my time as well as raising my daughter! 

I'm still using my essential oils, which I still LOVE !!
You can check out my website here:

I have found a new addiction!! Vinyl.  You can check out what I'm doing here:
Vinyl Creations

I am working on bringing back my jewelry.  I do SO love creating, and I feel like I've lost "myself", because I have not been able to do any of what I love. Some of it is because of health issues. I am a full fledged diabetic now, and honestly it has taken a lot of my energy and I think I've been slightly depressed with this horrible disease.  HOWEVER, I have found Keto which promises to help me heal and get my life back. 

SO will you join me here on my blog and let's be friends!
When you stay at home and keep babies all day,  you need some interaction with ADULT friends!!

Give me a comment if you are following the Keto WOE!!
I need tips & help on how to stay focused and what to eat.  I must beat diabetes, and reclaim my life! 

Give me a comment to say hello and let me know you're here!
