sales, new fabrics, and napkins. oh my...

This weekend was semi-hectic, semi-fun, and semi-crafty. I went shopping with my mom on Saturday, worked on Sunday, and got crafty on Monday. We will soon be introducing headbands to the 'Mama Made Shoppe' (yes, i am aware 9 million people sell headbands, but these are a little different and i love them).

Over the weekend I also helped my mom with her shoppe. We put some items on sale (hurry check 'em out)! I modeled some of her newer scarves (yes, i know i look pissed in all the pictures, but she was supposed to crop that part out). Mama has also added the most darling napkins to her store. Here are some of my favorite new items...

{1.} 'Cup o' Coffee Napkin Set'-$18.00 for six...
{2.} 'Black & White Infinity Scarf'-$15.00... {3.} 'Perfect Plaid Cotton Infinity Scarf'-$18.00...{4.} 'Spot On Cotton Knit Infinity Scarf'-$15.00...
{5.} 'Trippy Hippie Polyester Infinity Scarf'-$18.00...Like I said, I look super pissedspice in these photos...but I promise I wasn't. I just figured a smile wasn't necessary because the scarf was the focal point...not my pissy pouty face. haha.
Anywho, I hope you all had a lovely three day weekend! Go and check out the 'Mama Made Shoppe' asap! Why? Because my mom rocks, that's why. Psbtw-stay tuned for some super cute (affordable) headbands!

craft blog news...

So this post is going to be a quickie (And yes, that does happen to be something she really hopes he does not tell her). As some of you know my internship training starts this morning and I will be locked in a room with all of these crazy psychologists for the next four days. I realize that may sound like I am less than thrilled but don't let it fool you. I am completely stoked about it. I however, am NOT thrilled about not tweeting throughout my training...but since I am an addict I had to turn off my cell updates so I would not be tempted! Don't let anything to awesome happen while I am away, ok?!
I am sure some of you have noticed I recently got a new blog design. Do we love it? I certainly do. Please, shift your gaze to the left of the computer screen and see the new button of awesome cuteness that Bastina Balicious made for the craft blog. Yes, 'Three Crafty Biiitches' now has their own button! Feel free to mosey on over there and snatch one up!
Thanks Bastina! You are a rock star! We adore it!
That is all for today my friends. Don't miss me too much while I am on a Twitter hiatus!

happy...

I am running low on blog creativity right now. Seriously, I think that epic Vlog I made killed me...and used up a weeks worth of my awkward self. So I decided I would just share with you all some of the reasons of why I am happy...so I do not become a blog slacker and then just not post. So, here are some of the reasons I am currently happy...

Reason I am happy #1:
I am happy that my mom rules. She does. True story. She just purchased a Cricut (a scrap booking tool of awesomeness for those of you who have no idea what I am talking about). She was going to gift it to me for Christmas but then decided we would share it and it wasn't going to count as one of my gifts. Epic. Thanks Mom!

Reason I am happy #2:I was super bummed that I was going to miss the Christmas pageant that my niece was singing in with her preschool. I had to miss it due to a lame final. However, my mom and my brother came through for me and photographed and recorded her super star performance. Yes, the dress her mother picked out is heinous...and she is holding a picture of a hippopotamus (Why? Because she wants a hippopotamus for Christmas. Also, because she is awesome. Obvi.)

Reason I am happy #3:

I am listening to the soundtracks from Glee! Does this even need explanation? It does? Okay. Mr. Schuster singing, 'Endless Love'. 'Nuff said...

Reason I am happy #4:

I spent a large amount of my weekend hanging out with bff Jil. We had some serious absence issues due to me having to live in a cave and study for finals. So we reunited...and it feels sooo good! We gabbed, I schooled her in the art of twss jokes, she schooled me in the ways of operating an electric hand sander. It was good times...(Jil...why are we orange in this picture? I believe we tanned far too much this summer. Also, why are our teeth so freaking white? I didn't even mess with this one on Picnik. Weird.) So we cranked out a few of these bad boys...oh 'Scrappy Blocks' you are the cuteness (I would show you all the ones we actually made but they are top secret until after Christmas)...

Reason I am happy #5:We made a gingerbread house! My mom, Bug, and myself made this little lovely. She had a blast. Bug and I have a date later in the week to make cookies for Santa...we are legit.

Reason I am happy #6:

Two words folks, Oreo Balls. That is correct...I have never even heard of these balls of awesomeness (twss) until one of my Internet bff's blogged about them. Lauren from 'That's What She Said' made the lovelies shown in the above picture. Because she loves me she sent me the recipe and I shall be busting balls out all day tomorrow...(twss). Word to the wise, go and read Lauren's blog. She is full of awesome and #dirrrtymagic.

Reason I am happy #7:This is my desk. It was in complete disarray because of finals. It no longer looks like this. I OCD'd out on it and it is now spic and span my friends. Why yes, that IS a lava lamp. I am old school. Represent...

Reason I am happy #8:

No words are necessary. Except for swoon...

So, what are all of YOU happy about right now?

and the award goes to...

I have put off posting about these lovely awards given to me by two of my all-time favy blog friends! So this post is going to be a two-for-one, sort of like we are at the Oscars and I won 'Best Actress' AND 'Best Supporting Actress'...don't laugh...someday it will happen.

Here is award #1!

The first award was given to me by the always inspiring Ashton Dene (she is awesome; we are going to create 'Butterbeer' and become millionaires together). Thanks Aston! This is the 'Kreativ Blogger' award...

There are of course rules:

-Share 7 things that you don't already know about me.

-Name 7 other blogs to receive this award.

-Thank the person who gave me the award.

So, seven things that you do not already know about me is kind of hard because I talk a lot...and tell people everything but I shall try.

Seven things you may or may not know about me:

{1.} I give money to homeless people 95% of the time. Before you tell me that they are probably billionaires who scam people for a living let me just say, I am sure some people don't actually need the money that they beg for...but some do. I would rather give money/food to someone who is scamming me then not give money/food to someone who is truly in need of it.

{2.} I am attracted to men with red hair. Weird, right? Most people are not into 'gingers' but I am! Although, only certain red-headed men are attractive...I will not go into the distinction between a hot red-head and a not-so-hot red-head because I don't want to make anyone feel bad! 'Nuff said...

{3.} I have a tattoo on my foot that I am not all that fond of. I have mentioned that before on this blog...but it is really starting to bug me.

{4.} Even though I hate my foot tattoo I am considering getting another one. I am dying to have 'Let It Be' on my side in like SUPER tiny font. Preferably the saying repeated in peace sign shape form...does that make sense? No? Okay picture a peace sign...now picture said peace sign composed of 'Let It Be' written over and over...get it?

{5.} I listen to my iPod while driving. I know it is 'technically' against the law but I do it anyways...because I love to turn it up as loud as possible and sing with it and pretend I am ACTUALLY the one singing. I do this with musical soundtracks...it. is. awesome.

{6.} I own seven pairs of Vans slip-ons. I love them something fierce. I have polka-dot ones, striped ones, flamingo ones...the list goes on and on and on. They are tacky and I embrace it...

{7.} I don't want to have children. Unless you count the ones I already have. If you are wondering what I am talking about...refer here. Please, do not patronize me and tell me that I will change my mind...that may be true...but probably not.

Alright...now it is time for award #2!

The lovely Connie gifted me with the 'Happy 101' award. Connie is one of the first blog friends that I made...and she is an absolute doll! Thanks Connie!

The rules for this award are short and sweet.

-List ten things you are happy about.

-Pass the award along to ten other bloggers.

Ten things I am currently happy about (in no particular order):

{1.} I am happy that the craft blog, 'Three Crafty Biiitches' looks like it may be a hit! After months of discussing it with my two favorite crafters (my pal Jil & my Mama) we finally have something up and running! Also, if any of YOU have some ideas of what you would like to see in our little shoppe please share (why yes I did use 'shoppe' instead of 'shop' because it looks far more awesome)!

{2.} I am happy that I purchased the cutest boyfriend blazer ever. I haven't worn it yet but I am in some serious love with it...

{3.} I am happy that this semester is over in two weeks. Halle-freakin-lujah! I am so over this semester I cannot even begin to explain...

{4.} I am happy that even though I despise group projects I finally am part of a group that is not made up of slackers. They are actually doing their fair share of the work and I heart them for it...

{5.} I am happy that Christmas is right around the corner and I have some really amazing gifts to give! Yeah, Mother yours is awesome...I hope you are dying to know what it is!

{6.} I am really happy that I decided to start a blog. I feel like I have made some really awesome new friends in the short time I have been doing this. I heart you ALL!

{7.} I am happy that I have an amazing family who makes even the hardest of situations bearable. As distasteful as it is a few weeks ago after my Dad's funeral we were all still cracking jokes and making each other laugh.

{8.} I am happy that Robert Pattinson's parents decided to get busy 24 years ago and create him. I mean really the whole female race should be ecstatic about that...

{9.} I am happy that I am now the proud part owner of a 'Cricut'(my mother and I share one) ...this baby is going to make scrapbooking so much more enjoyable. That is, as soon as I figure out how to operate the darn thing!

{10.} I am happy that my internet is FINALLY fixed. It was down the entire weekend and I almost perished because of it...

Here is the thing, I am not picking just ten people to share these awards with. I am breaking the rules! I am gifting them to ALL of you. If you do decide to post them let me know so I can make sure to read what you write!

Or...just leave a comment and tell me some secrety-secret things about YOU or share what YOU are happy about!
