Oh my...

I got to thinkin' today that I have not blogged in FOR-EEVVERRR.
Then I also got to thinkin' that I somehow still make time for:

- late night cinnamon roll baking sessions (Pilsbury, I love you)
- raquetball games at the rec center at least three times a week
- an {almost} daily nap that amazingly always goes longer than anticipated
- checkin' out pictures and leaving comments on Facebook

Moral of the story...

I seriously need to get with it and keep up with this blog of mine!

School has been going great...
if you don't count the overwhelming amount of homework, my hectic schedule, and unrelenting responsibilities.
:)
It's supposed to be that way, right?

I am not only getting homesick, but worksick as well.
[I miss you Scrapbooks, Etc.]
I promise you're still one of my best friends and I will be back as soon as I can!

Just as a reminder, I do have a blog specifically for my stinkin' cute hair accessories which you can find here.

I know this is such a short post, but I have homework to do and freshly baked cinnamon rolls to eat.

Peace Girls!

My life in Tucson

has been:
-fun
-hectic
-sad
-annoying
-exciting
-frustrating

But overall, I still love it here.
I will be posting pictures of the apartment as soon as everything is set up and decorated the way I want it! With all of the homework I have been getting so far, the pictures might take a while!

Also, I finally have my new blog set up for my hair accessories. You can order most of the accessories through the blog shop and the others are available through e-mail ordering. You will see what I mean when you check it out here.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful 3-day weekend!

Peace Girls!

Creative Escape is Coming!

As many of you girls know,
Creative Escape is quickly approaching.
So...
I have been hard at work creating my interchangable hair and apparel clips as well as headbands for this big event!
Here are the few I have made so far.
There will be PLENTY more to come!
I will not be putting these up for sale at Scrapbooks, Etc.
until mid-August.
{They will also be available at the on-site store at Creative Escape}
If you know you will want one,
please feel free to pre-order your favorites today!
If you don't see what you love,
hit me up and I can make one custom for you!
:)

More Creations

Here are my latest creations.
I fell in love with three of them and had to keep them for myself..
but the rest are for sale at Scrapbooks, Etc.
:)















This is a child's headband:


The following are for teens/adults:












I apologize because I know these aren't the best pictures.. but madre was asleep, which means she couldn't take pics of me modeling these. Hopefully she will be up on the next go 'round :)

New Stuff!

Ok, so I'm totally excited about my new bows I have been workin' on lately.
My goal this time was to make stinkin' cute stuff that even adults could wear.
Well, I haven't had a life for the past two weeks and I finally took my latest creations to Scrapbooks, Etc. where they are now for sale!!
I gotta tell ya though...
It was unbelievably difficult for me to part with a lot of them.

This is the one I absolutely could not give up and I had to keep for myself:


Did I mention that almost ALL of my new junk is made out of fabric??
I am trying to steer away from ribbon and go for a more sophisticated look.
All of these new bows start at $12 and go up from there just depending on which type/ how much fabric I used.

Remember that special orders are always welcome!
:)

I picked out a few of my favorites so I could share them with you.
Let me know what you think!







This is one is made with houndstooth patterned wool felt:








These are a few of the headbands:



There are tons more at Scrapbooks, Etc. that aren't pictured here so be sure to check them out!!

I also have a new litte addition to my life..
I got a new fish.
:)

My cute friend Alex helped me pick out my fish and after a huge OCD moment from Jenaye, we settled on this one.
His name is
Jimmy Blue Fin
and he is kinda the new love of my life at the moment.
Pathetic, right?
Anyways.. when we bought him, he totally looked blue.
But when we put him in his tank at home, he is definitely a purple fish.
That blue water PetSmart keeps them in is not helpful whatsoever...
So no, I am not colorblind... I just couldn't possibly change the little guy's name after I had already named him.
He is just gonna have to live his life as a purple fish with "blue" in his name.
:)

Goodbye

You were such a great fish
and an even better friend.
I will miss you..
but I won't miss cleaning your tank on a weekly basis.
I enjoyed the five months we shared together
and I will never forget you.

Alright, so I know that was a bit sarcastic,
but the death of my fish was honestly kinda hard for me.
I was pretty much obsessed with that thing! haha.

This tragic event really got me thinkin' about my dad.
Weird, I know.. but let me explain.

When I realized my fish had died,
the first thing I did was told my dad.
It was funny to me that my dad could actually tell how upset I was.
"Awww Suzi, how did he die?? What happened??"
I told him that there was no possible way I could flush my own fish so being the hero he is, he offered to do it for me.

And right there, it hit me:
I am 19 years old and it is amazing to me how much I still depend on my dad.
With Father's Day quickly approaching,
this is my shout out to my Dad.
He is my best friend next to my mom and I am so incredibly lucky to have such awesome parents.

So Dad, thank you for flushing my fish, for being my internet "surfing" partner on our laptops while watching tv, for fixing my flat tire that one time I ran over a curb (oops), for "tipping" me when I run errands for you, for always cooking my dinner separately in an attempt to keep mine as plain and spice-free as possible, for constantly making me laugh with your extrememly lame jokes, for letting mom and I take over the house with our scrapbook stuff, and for loving me no matter what. Like when I can't flush my own dead fish at the age of 19, or when I run over curbs, or because of the fact that I'm so stinkin' picky with my food, or for burying your stuff underneath cardstock and ribbon.

I love you Daddy-O.
Happy Father's Day

Oh say, can you see.....

I have finally made a few 4th of July bows after receiving some requests for them!



I will be bringing them to Scrapbooks, Etc. tomorrow morning to put up for sale. They range in price just depending on how much/which type of ribbon was used.

I will hopefully get in a better habit of blogging here in the near future. But like always.. I'm not promising anything! ha

Have a great week!

Peace Girls!
