Feeling accomplished..

I am not a morning person. I would much rather go to bed at 2a.m. and wake at 10a.m. - but having a preschooler & teenager doesn't allow me to do that! lol - i would love 2nd shift!..someday .. someday! when they are all grown up and I can work whatever shift I please.

Anyhow, I'm trying to adapt to my daughter being back in school (she is a morning person & wakes at 7am with Isaiah during the summer) - I know!!! I am lucky, right?! but not when school is in session. I am tremendously sleep deprived. I cant seem to go to bed & actually fall asleep early no matter how hard I try! It is SO frustrating!

Jess has been in school over a week now and surprisingly I am feeling better than last year. I really think it has to do with my new water kefir adventures. This stuff is amazing! I even feel a sense of eurphoria at times. I feel calm. I am a nervous person in general who suffers from anxiety ..I really never realized maybe my disorder was an imbalance on many levels? hmm, time to do more googling on this subject after this post......

Even though yesterday was Monday ( I am always more tired on Mondays because of my weekend sleep schedule) - I did accomplish alot of stuff I didn't think I'd get done being so sleepy. Like I said - THANK GOD FOR WATER KEFIR!

I even posted a new item to Fashion Compassion: (click here for more views )



This basket took forever to make! I noticed I am taking a new interest in recycled crafting. I like the idea of re-using items, but I also really like the organic look and feel of magazine/newspaper/paper too. :)

I opened my Etsy shop!

I am excited I finally have a few projects completed and I decided to open my Etsy shop back up! I have one item already listed & just need to take pics of my other creations to upload to Fashion Compassion. This magazine vase took hours upon hours to create but I really enjoyed it. If you click on my shop you can see pics of the bottom and close-ups.

Magazine bowl

Another craft in progress...i cant wait to see the end result! I think its going to be at least a week until this is finished. It took so many pages to make just this itty bitty base! I've seen baskets 'n such at Pier1 similiar to what I'm trying to make above...so I'm excited to try & make my own. And reusing i always better than recycling.

Today I woke up to a great surprise in my email. I won a blog giveaway over at Couponing 101. A $20 gift card for Kroger & a bunch of coupons for free Hefty brand supplies. Yay!
