GINORMOUS Craft Haul

Yes, it's GINORMOUS!!! I am currently a SU Demonstrator and I haven't been as satisfied with the direction that SU is going, though they are a great company.  It just isn't working anymore for me.  I have been branching out lately and found that there is SO MUCH MORE!!! Yeah!  I found Copic's, Spectrum Noir Alcohol Inks, Lawn Fawn, Mama Elephant, Pigment Inks, stencils, Faber Castell Gelatos, Lawn Trimmings, MME, Distress Inks,  and my favorite PEANUTS stamps!!! Can you believe it Peanuts Stamps! I have died and gone to heaven. Between Simon Says Stamp, Lawn Fawn, and Oozak.com I have almost literally broke the bank!  In two months I have acquired over 100 Copics, the complete collection of Spectrum Noir, 8 Faber Castell Big Brush pens, 21 and counting Lawn Fawn stamp sets each with their coordinating die and lot's of other fun stuff to play with.  Right now Lawn Fawn and Mama Elephant are my favorites and I find myself coloring images left and right and working the whole alcohol ink blending techniques over and over.  It is soooo....relaxing and stress relieving for me to color!  Especially when the twins are finally in bed.  I also have 5 more shipments that haven't made it to my house yet because they are on backorder and most of those shipments are Lawn Fawn!  Exciting!










So it's Friday, TGIF my hubby is going to be home and I cannot be more happier he is such a big help and it's so refreshing when he's home on the weekend and we fart around doing our thing!  I woke up this morning to yet another lovely message from my hub check out the picture below.  It is so encouraging to get love notes from my hubby this way.  He's so thoughtful... Well I am hoping to start a YouTube channel and post about my haul.  Thanks for reading and I hope to see you at YouTube and please subscribe because there is going to be a whole bunch of cool kree8tive crafts coming.

Breathing Could Cause A Pulled Muscle???

Today... WOW what can I say about today?  Well my 15 month old Warren has a mouth virus that really makes it hard for him to eat.  We spent a good part of the morning at the doctor's office.  It's hilarious, have you noticed how EVERYTHING nowadays is a "virus."  I could go to the doctor for a pregnancy check up and they will tell me it's a virus.  I could have gange green and my foot is about to fall off and they will tell me it's a virus.  Shoot I could go to the doctor with a gun shot wound to the stomach and they will diagnose it as a virus.  Virus, virus, virus... PLEASE!  When I was growing up it was all bacterial... which of course led to antibiotic resistance, but goodness gracious man NOT everything is a virus!  I think if someone says virus one more time I am going to spit.  LOL! Okay my rant is over... All better now.

So my hubster has been having a hard time when he breathes in deep.  He feels this sharp pain in his chest toward the back part of his left rib.  He doesn't want to tell anyone because he is on a  HEP. C trial at UC Davis and refuses to go off any of his medications.  He is scared to death if he tells anyone they will tell him to stop taking his medication... Okay so I am a bit freaked out last night because he is having a hard time breathing in.  So I Google 'hurts when you breathe in deep'... Yeah my suggestion is DO NOT DO THAT if you want to remain calm.  Google pops up with like the top 10 reasons why breathing deep would hurt. Heart disease, heart attack, cancer, pulmonary embolism... Now I am totally on the freak.  So I proceed to make my hubby an appointment via my handy dandy Kaiser Permanente app...(love that app).  The first appointment is next week and I am like are you kidding me man!  Next week!  My hubster is dying from a heart attack here!  LOL What a drama queen I am!  Long and short we go to the doctor's appointment and they say that he probably pulled a muscle.  Now he hasn't had any injuries and doesn't over exert himself in any way shape or form especially lately.  So my thought is... so doc you say that he pulled a muscle from breathing too much?  Wait a minute isn't breathing kind of like a prerequisite to remaining alive. I kinda of thought...call me crazy... that most bodies were designed to breath. Not that I am not glad that it's a pulled muscle as opposed to a heart attack. So I just wanted to warn you all out there that when you breathe you could pull a muscle.

Goodness so I am overweight (15 month old twins) and I am trying to lose my baby weight.  So I get Trim Healthy Mama and start on the way of life eating.  Geez Louise... I lost five pounds the first week.  It took like three weeks but FINALLY I dropped like 8 more.  Then my milk supply dropped out of the clear blue sky and I literally started eating EVERYTHING in sight.  So THM went out the door.  I have every intention of getting back on, but right now I THREW MYSELF OFF THE WAGON!

Speaking of black or white thinking... I think I over committed myself for this weekend.  So I have like a ton of cloth diapers that I just failed to be diligent on with the twins. So instead of taking up space in the twins room I decided to put a post up on Sacramento Cloth Diaper's Buy/Sell/Trade on Facebook about a huge garage sale.  Then I mention that I do bibs, custom sport bibs.  That I don't have done or sewn mind you... and I have one and a half days left to do it.  Shoot me now... I am supposed to be this kree8tv queen aren't I... WRONG... Well I just want to put myself out there and start being a more social butterfly so to speak with other creative people and creative closet people (those are people that don't do crafts, and creative things but when they start doing crafts and creative things end up being a creative person...hence...ALL PEOPLE ARE CREATORS).  With that said I am going to clean up the twins from dinner and go finish watching Waterworld with my ten year old.  Happy kree8ting!
