It's incredible!! Anyway, I love that light fixture.... it's beautiful and the puzzle cookie cutters are ingenious!! I want to make everyone some puzzle cookies!

Okay... I have such wonderful friends at work. They encourage me so much. Yesterday my friend Amy straight out told me that my life needs to start NOW. She said that I can't wait to start living my dreams and start my little business until it's too late... so, I am starting it... kind of... giving it a trial run at least before I make any major commitments. I don't want to let out my idea until everything is all set it stone, but for now, I am starting it off with making cards. I don't mind telling other people that because a lot of people make cards :^) So, I am going to start with Valentines cards. I have already recieved an order of about 30. I don't want to overwhelm myself at first because it's still a trial run, but it's gonna be fun! Amy is spreading the word to help me out. Whenever someone has a birthday at work, I make the Birthday cards, so a lot of people already know my style. It makes me so excited. I'm still not very knowlegeable but I have SO many ideas! I guess that is why I am starting to take some classes so that I can learn new techniques and expand my possibilities. My mom and I actually attended a stamping class over the weekend and I learned a lot. I learned how to emboss using stamps, embossing powder and heat... which is so cool!! I wanted to try and save money by not buying a embossing heat tool, but figured out later that hairdryers don't work (although my class teacher told me they would). So, Adam said I can get one :^) I am SOOOOOOOOOO excited, and so grateful for my supportive friends.

I don't know how many people actually read this blog... I've started it more for my own good because I like to keep a journal and I find it easier to make time for typing rather than writing sometimes. Also, it's a place I can keep a record of all the cool websites/blogs that I find. Just an explanation for any stragglers who happen upon this blog... but you're certainly welcome to read.

BTW... jusut updated my links on the left... catagorized them a little better for my own sake. Some day (soon I hope) I will have a website for all this stuff.
