Hi

Hello!

Whats been up lately. I have been so busy with Track and training that I have had little time for myself and very little time to blog. I have a meet in the morning so I have a bit of down time right now. So...who has been watching the new season of the "Real World" on MTV? I absolutely this season and I am not a big reality TV person at all let alone a big TV person. I think this is the first time that the cast actually seems "real".....and who doesn't love the transgendered gal! GO Caitlin!!!
Anyhow things have been good over this way....I am in the works of finalizing all the details for my new Etsy shop. Thank you so much to Julie at www.GlamourDamaged.etsy.com she created me an awesome banner for my new shop! I am having some trouble with my digital camera so I don't have any pics to post. I hopefully will have some pics to post really soon.

Stay Crafty!!!

SO excited!

I am excited to announce that I have opened up my new Etsy Shop! I am not going to reveal it just yet, but I will definitely be revealing it soon! Yeah!!!!

TOo many important things!

Photos, working, the Inaguration....all happy things!!!

Hello!!!

I love this picture...the shingles look surreal shinning in the sunlight!

have been gone for some time. I have been focusing on work lately. I have made the decision to close my beppin.etsy.com shop for good. Don't worry though because I will be back in a month or so when I have more time to dedicate to my crafts.
I have been taking a lot of pics lately:

This picture is amazing! Simplistic but artsy if I must say myself

I am learning how to use the different functions on my camera...I love the black and white

Gizzy got a new Snowman toy...he loves to wrestle it! LOL

What a great time it has been! GO President Barack Obama! Yeah it is finally official.

Have a great day!

Life is fun and interesting!!!

"Hello"

Last night was so exciting. Ray and I went to an early preview of " My bloody Valentine 3D." We still had to pay the normal price and don't you know when I say normal that the normal price for a 3D movie for two people is $27 bucks. Can you believe it!!! Although the movie was decent, we both agreed that it was no wear near worth the amount of money we paid for it. It was fun and exciting to see my first 3D movie...the glasses gave me an absolute headache and my eyes were coo-coo once the movie was finished!

One of my new Years resolutions was to save money and I have been doing just that lately. It is weird cutting out coupons and scrapping through the Sunday paper for great sales, but I keep telling myself that it is all worth it.

Here is a list of my favorite coupon sites:
www.redplum.com
littlemissknowitall.blogspot.com
shaws.com
couponmom.com

Who doesn't like saving money!!!

Anyhow...That is how things have been going for me. Oh I almost forgot to mention that we are going to look at a few apartment this weekend. I can just see the light at the end of the tunnel....yeah!

Peace!!!

New Monday Madness

Hello Crafters!

As you may or may not know I have a shop at http://www.beppin.etsy.com/ where I sell my handmade goods. Etsy is the place where you can buy and sell all things handmade.


I have decided to spread the etsy love and will be announcing every Monday "Monday Madness," where I will be hosting a theme and featuring etsy sellers.

To get this party started, the first theme; which will be posted tonight will be titled " I love butterflies." I am head over heels for butterflies and everything linked to them...as a matter of fact, I have two butterfly tattoos.

Please make sure to check back later to see the featured sellers and items. If you are an "Etsy Seller" and would like your item displayed on my blog please leave a comment below with your etsy shop attached and I will do my best to fit your item into one of my themes...

Stay Crafty!!!

A Bit Here A Bit There

YUP THIS IS ME...ABOVE....

Track Meet

- Ok, I had my first track meet of the season. It went really well for the first meet. I only went from my 16 step approach (which is a reduced approach) but I managed to start the season off decent. Ray ended up popping something in his knee, so it looks like we will be headed to the doctors office tomorrow...it sucks because it hurts bad but we can't go to the emergency room because his health insurance doesn't kick in until next week. Luckily he is strong or crazy like that. Replay of what happened: he ran down the run way popped on the Long jump board and at the same time heard/felt something pop in his knee...he then landed in the sand like someone shot him....that jump ended is rounds of jumps and possibly the rest of his indoor season! I feel so bad for him :(

I was so exhausted the entire meet; I didn't eat properly which was bad-bad-bad! We left the house this morning at 5:30am and didn't get home until 8:30 pm. AHHHHHHHHHH!!! I am not sure we will be going to this particular meet again...it was way to far and not to mention we got more freaking snow!

Another snowy ride home

Anyhow I forgot my camera!!! BUmmer...but there will be many more meets to take pics at

Have a good night...I need to rest I am so sore and tight...Good thing I have Yoga in the morning!

Gizzy was happy when we finally got home and I was too happy to see him@!

Peace!
