Fabulous Friday: New Outlook on Life

Yeah!!! Can we say TGIF!!!! This week has been one of the craziest, most dramatic weeks of my life. It was like a friggin rolocoaster! I had some serious personal situations bring me to tears and make me feel like my life was worthless. Then I turned around and pushed through it with some encouraging achievements. Yeah... I can't believe it happened like that but it did. 

So it is a fabulous friday because you know what? I made it through... without making any drastic life changing decisions or mistakes. I want to share with you the UPs and not the downs.... because it's time to move past that. 


First of all I was hesitant to tell all of you that I entered ABM's Pumpkin carving contest because I never win anything... but guess what? I got 1st in Honorable Mention... that's like fourth place right lol. I didn't win anything but I did get the link of my blog on their page and gained a couple of new followers.... so that is a win in my book.

I have been finding some really beautiful vintage clothing and items lately. I got this whole milk glass vase collection for 5 bucks! I'm trying to resist the temptation of keeping it when my original intention was reselling but who knows! PS I kept all the clothing I found!!



Crazy as it is Custard Pies are at mickey dees again and Christmas music is playing!! It kinda scares me with how fast time flies but it did cheer me up today!




Last but not least I received a beautiful new ring from a favorite jeweler of mine on etsy!! You can see my collection of her items is slowly growing. The snow white druzy is my newest dud!





That's about it... except.... THE NEW BLOG DESIGN OF COURSE!!  I am pretty proud of myself for finally figuring out a couple of things on photoshop... by myself! Gosh it took some time and then I go look at the front page of ABM and see she now has an ecourse up to explain how to do all of these things that took me forever to figure out. Ahhhhh.... oh well!

Fabulous Friday: Feeling Really Inspired

I tell ya what... I have been on top of it ever since I ventured back into my studio. I feel energized and ready for new goals. Thank god because I was really slacking the past couple of months and I was beginning to wonder if my life was crashing in on me.  

i adore it all!

A little dramatic I know. The couple of weeks before I forced myself to get in the studio... I thought I was going to lose it. I mean like I was really down in the dumps and feeling defeated. Every time I started a post it was negative and whinny. I actually prayed that god would make me feel better and lift me up. 

inspired. inspired. inspired.

So I guess it worked because now I can't seem to stop moving and organizing my life. I am finally inspired again and feeling good. I noticed that the more I decluttered the apartment the better I felt.

inspired

So August is going to be my month... this I have decided. All my camps will be over with and I can get back into the swing of how I want my life to run. I am going to organize my life because it has been a huge mess.

I am going to slowly shift to not drinking pop and replacing it with water. 
I am going to put the hours into my business.
I am going to make my surroundings enjoyable and clean.
I am going to learn new things. 
I am going to plan a road trip for the beginning of fall even if I go by myself.

Fabulous Friday :)


made by me :)

It truly is a Fabulous Friday... my camps are done for the week and now I get to take a break for the 4th. At this moment I am enjoying some pizza in a cold dark apartment watching the last 3 episodes of Vampire Diaries season 2.


I have been dying to get back into my studio and make some new things for the shop. I can't wait! I have actually missed it.




Check out my cucumber ;)


Some cute antique bottles I found thrifting recently in Frankfort.


Have a wonderful weekend!!

Fabulous Friday: Camp Out

I am super excited because today we leave to go camping at natural bridge. The cool thing about it is that I will be able to mark several things off my summer bucket list just from this weekend so that makes me even more excited. You can find that post here! Click this to get my Summer bucket List!

Today since I will be busy getting ready to leave I wanted to share with you some images that I have been collecting to help inspire this camping trip!

Fabulous Friday: Unmotivated Thinking

I am definitely lacking motivation today and I am so glad that it is friday! So much is going on in my head but I lack organization of my thoughts. Tomorrow we take pup to the vet for his second round of shots and he is soooo big. I also want to go to this 400 mile yard sale that will be going on in bowling green and stretches into Tennessee! 
red hot chili peppers
 Next thursday I am sooo excited because my wonderful boyfriend got me tickets to see red hot chili peppers in concert in Louisville which is an awesome artsy city here in Kentucky. I can't wait... I am hoping we can go to Lynn's Paradise Cafe and maybe check out the strip of artsy clothing and thrift shops. *fingers crossed* Honestly though... seeing red hot chili pepper in concert is on my ultimate bucket list. Our seats are way in the back but just to be in their presence will be surreal to me! 
Lynns Paradise Cafe~
After that were going camping to natural bridge that friday! I have never been but I am super excited! Tons of trails, a sky lift and hopefully canoeing! I have a feeling that my computer might blow up from all the pictures I will be taking within the next few weeks.
Natural Bridge
Then after that I have signed up to do 2 weeks of a camp at the historical society in Frankfort. It's an hour away but I love the camp... its called camp Artyfact. Is that not cute? Anyway the great thing about it is getting a little extra cash to do something I enjoy which is doing art with kids. The other great thing is they really allow me to do whatever... they trust me! Lol can you believe it? I did the camp last year and it was soo much fun. 

Me and the kids from last years sculpture class in frankfort
Then in July I will be running a camp for our local Arts Council here in Berea. It is my first year directing it, last year I just taught art. Honestly this has been quite scary for me because it requires me to find reliable people to teach classes and that has actually been hard! 

Truthfully when I started this post I was feeling blah and unmotivated but sitting here reflecting on what all I will be doing has made me think. I better get my butt up and get my stuff together. 

PS...
When it comes to this blog I really want a new layout. I have a new logo that a lovely lady on etsy has designed for me but I have to pay for it and tie it into the whole business. I am kinda scared about it but I can't wait! 
Also I am almost at 100 posts! I am thinking about doing something special to celebrate that! 
I also will hopefully figure out how to make a blog button soon but I need a new computer or external hard drive.
In four months I will have been on etsy with my shop for a year! I can't believe it and I am thinking about coming up with posts about tips for opening and running an etsy shop. Still thinking about it.

Oh and I wasn't feeling so well today so I took a nap and had the worst dream! My dog ran away and when I found him his nose just crumbled off his face! He kept rubbing it with his paw! I was teaching a class while he ran away and one of the kids had taken a picture of me naked from behind with a cellphone while I was changing in a laundry room because we were going swimming. He showed it to the principal and I was super embarrassed. I literally woke up thinking this had actually happened! I mean it doesn't even make any sense but I am glad it didn't happen. I guess I'm still nervous about something happening to my pup and about getting a real teaching job. 

So there you have it the blahhhhhhhhhh of my life. I love blogging it helps me figure out what I am thinking... haha!

QUESTION:
Any weekend plans? Any milestones you have hit? Summer plans? Exciting news?

I want to hear it! I love all my comments and I love hearing from you all about your life!

Fabulous Friday: Fiesta!


 Soooooo...... obviously this week didn't go according to the plan but I needed a break! At least I tried! I never really realize the excitement that a week can contain until it hits me and then well forget blogging about what you thought you were going to blog about. 

So here is my fabulous friday in pictures. I planned a fiesta party for my sister at my apartment and it went really well!



 Ok so I do this really weird thing where I turn my head sideways for pictures... my sisters laugh about it but I can't help it lol it just feels right for some reason!
