My new haircut!!

 

My new haircut!

Well let’s just say I have spent my entire blankety blank years with long hair. When I married my husband, eleven years ago, my hair reached my bottom. I remember it getting caught in the window in the car and needing to move it when I visited the ladies room!  I started cutting it a bit over the past years and I decided a few weeks ago that I wanted a new hairstyle. Something short and stylish.  I have never had short hair never mind hair above my shoulders but I went for it. And I have to say it’s fun. This year is going to be an adventure and my hair is yet another part of my adventure.

And the Winner is…

Me!! It is safe to say, I am not very lucky when it comes to games that involve chance. Because of that, I tend to witness others (like my sister) win big on scratch tickets while sitting on the sidelines. At carnivals I rarely take the chance to win at any of the games like ring toss.  So when my LSS started this ‘Spin the Wheel’ when you spend a certain amount of money at the store, I would spin each week because no loss was involved. I already spent money on good craft goodies so what the heck!  Well after week’s of hopeless spinning and losing, I won!!

Me taking the chance!

The beauty is I was at a crop night with my girlfriends and they all knew that the win must be documented or else I would be creating crafting blasphemy if I didn’t. So my girlfriend Joan took  the photo of me and the wheel. What did I win did you say?  A $20 gift certificate to use on my next visit. But more than the money (which I was pleased to take), I got to experience the thrill of winning a game of chance.  Very fun. Don’t hold your breath on me going to the Casino’s anytime soon, I haven’t quite turned that corner!

And the Winner is Me!!

 

Fun Photos Friday – #8

It’s been a while since I have posted a favorite photo for Friday. Well not only is it my favorite by it has my three favorite people and it was taken on Friday.

 

First day of school pick up with Dad.

Most days I pick up the boys from school alone. Leao is at work and can’t be there. Today was the boys first day of school. Apollo’s first day in Kindergarten and Nicholas third grade.  So having dad waiting there for them when they came out of school was a proud moment for us all. I love these moments and will always cherish them.

 

What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday – #170

Hello Everyone!  Can you hear the rain? It is pouring outside and dark like night. I have to drop off my oldest first then return a few hours later for kindergarten orientation for my youngest.  There is no amount of wet gear that will spare us from getting soaked in the process.  Is this really necessary for the first day of school?  Oh and is that lightning I just saw? You have to be kidding me.

But for the boys there is a little buzz in the air that’s filled with excitement and anxiety.  The boys are having a bit of time getting back to school time bedtime which is 7 in the room and they can read for 30 minutes and then 7:30 lights out. This summer I let them stay up until 8:30. But this will change once they are in school all day. They are going to be wiped out when they come home. I am looking forward to the 5 and a half hours each day with the boys in school that I can actually work on my projects and take care of my health without the guilt of not playing with the boys.  Now I can have time to dedicate to work and then when they come home I am all theirs.

My latest sale!

So what is on my desk you ask?  Well I am happy to say a package ready to go to the post office for my latest sale on Etsy.  I am so thrilled. If there was a camera on me when I realize I have a sale, I surely would embarrass myself when it is played back.  The thrill will never get old for me. I am currently working on fall products and will be putting sneak peeks up here soon.

New goodies on my desk.

I also have a few new things I bought recently. One is a cute little Halloween stamp with the girl on it. I bought it at Michael’s (all Halloween stamps stuff  %40).  There are also some old stamps I have from last year waiting for my attention.  But the blue masks are brand spankin new. I am hoping to use to create some cool canvas pieces.  I also found a few others I had and never used from old kits of the month.  I won’t bother telling you how old they are but I intend on trying them too.

Well I better get going so that I can start spanning the globe looking at other desks. If you haven’t learned about this amazing creative journey you can take every Wednesday, then head on over to Julia’s Stamping Ground and you will find desks from all around the world for What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday.

Have a blessed day!

Belinda
