I HAVE A SILHOUETTE SD AND CRICUT ITEMS FOR SALE!! I AM WILLING TO SHIP IF SOMEONE THAT IS NOT LOCAL IS WOULD LIKE TO BUY THEM . I'LL INCLUDE INSURANCE. PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE OR LEAVE A COMMENT IF INTERESTED. (I USE PAYPAL FOR ALL TRANSACTIONS.)<br />

I don't use the Cricut anymore, but it works perfectly. It is a great tool for many, many projects but just doesn't get used enough for me to keep it. The Silhouette SD is also great, and super versatile, but I am selling it because I want the bigger one (for bigger projects).<br />
<br />
On Tuesday I will have a few more items to add that I have for sale, stamp sets and a couple of punches as well.<br />
<br />
Thanks!!<br />

There are some things that require my complete attention. Time to grow up, time get priorities in order...all of this so I can get my career off the ground. I will be back, I promise, but for personal reasons, I have to take a break. (I know it is not much of an explanation, but this also explains why I haven't been posting anything at all for quite a while.) Sometimes you just need to stop and take care of one thing at a time, instead of trying to do too many things at once. The end result is often being so overwhelmed that you don't accomplish anything at all.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
See you soon.</div>

Hey there! I have been playing catch up here at home. I have been preparing for my State Court Interpreter Certification exam, and basically put everything on hold. For a few months. You know when you have something you WANT to do, but there is something more important you HAVE to do first? And you can't do what you want until you finish that task first? Yeah, well, I couldn't finish the "fun stuff" until I got that test out of the way. I had to study a lot, and practice. I don't have anyone here locally that can help me study, so I was on my own. In any case, the test is behind me now, and now I can get back to some of the things- like papercrafting and photography- that allow me to relax every day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, here is a card I made, using the first stamp I bought from Market Street Stamps. You can find it <span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.marketstreetstamps.com/products/Sip-On.html">here</a>, </span>and you can find the Market Street Stamps blog <span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://marketstreetstamps.blogspot.com/">here</a></span>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ok, so here is what I used. The card base is Stamper's Select Cardstock in White from Papertrey Ink. The blue cardstock (there are 5 pieces, each is cut at 1/2 an inch) is from Pacific Point from Stampin' Up. To try to get even spacing, I adhered the outside strips first and worked my way in. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHOq8r4I6ywRo3-ZMhrVz2QIie0KkA7EU-KCn29dyhAIcjFGAb-tZxCP75DC_6lu8ovJH5WZyyyyMusPsbbQkvNVBK_6CoBO3soo75XOI_T-b5GedzKLP1ZyLII8yNyRJ0dCqPyv8JcX4/s1600/2012-04-30+007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHOq8r4I6ywRo3-ZMhrVz2QIie0KkA7EU-KCn29dyhAIcjFGAb-tZxCP75DC_6lu8ovJH5WZyyyyMusPsbbQkvNVBK_6CoBO3soo75XOI_T-b5GedzKLP1ZyLII8yNyRJ0dCqPyv8JcX4/s320/2012-04-30+007.JPG" width="213" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then stamped the sentiment on a piece of white cardstock, (cut to 2 3/8") using Red Riding Hood from Stampin' Up. That piece was adhered on a piece of white cardstock, cut at 2 5/8". That was then adhered with foam squares to give the card some dimension. And that's it! Super easy. (Finished card size is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you aren't familiar with Market Street Stamps, check them out. They have great prices, fast shipping and the stamps are high quality (I believe they are polymer.). And their stamps are SUPER cute!</div>

The theme for this week's challenge at My 3 Boybarians is Sacrifice. You can find the link <span style="color: #990000;"><a href="http://my3boybarians.com/2012/04/p52-week-15-sacrifice/">here</a></span>. I took this photo after Mass on Easter Sunday. I edited it using Pioneer Woman's Actions- Edge Burn and Dim the Lights. I didn't have the correct settings on my camera, and because it was a very bright day- the photos we took are a little blown out in some areas. Ree's actions helped it look better. You can find her blog <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/">HERE</a>. You should definitely check out these two blogs. They are two of my favorites for many reasons!</div>

I almost hate to share this, but the laundry and Marley (and cleaning up the massive amounts of hair she sheds. The underground fence can't be installed fast enough!!) are a huge part of my everyday routine. Of course Dominic is with me all the time while Sebastian and Alex are at school and Matt is at work. Funny though, Marley is with me day in and day out, but she is in LOOOOOOVE with Matt. That maroon shirt? Matt's work shirt. She's a traitor!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So for this week's challenge, we were to post something "out of focus". This works perfectly for me, since I don't particularly want to focus on the dead grass in our yard! Hahaha, no, really. We haven't had a real winter this year. Kentucky has strange, unpredictable weather, but from what I have been reading/hearing, it has been pretty much the same thing everywhere else. Winters here without snow are not very pretty (which is why we have dead, ugly, brown grass right now). The morning <a href="http://carlyrobertson.typepad.com/">Carly </a>posted this challenge, I saw this little flower as I was going to check the mail. And you guessed it, it is the ONLY flower that has bloomed in our yard so far. </div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This past weekend we went to a family wedding, and I thought this photo fit the theme perfectly. This is my husband’s aunt Tina, and her oldest son (the groom), Nicholas. I have known him and his brother Aubrey for about `15 years. I used to work at the daycare they attended. Pretty crazy, I was pregnant with my oldest son Sebastian at that time!! How time flies!!!</span></div>

This post is a combination of three challenges. Well, sort of. One isn't a challenge, I just thought I'd do it because it sounded like fun. The first is for <a href="http://my3boybarians.com/">My 3 Boybarians</a>. The second is <a href="http://carlyrobertson.typepad.com/">Carly Robertson's 10 on 10 Challenge</a>, where we post 10 photos that were taken throughout the day. The third challenge (for me, anyway) was participation in<a href="http://aliedwards.com/2012/02/a-day-in-the-life-the-documentation.html"> Ali Edwards' A Day In the Life</a>. For that one, you document through photos and journaling. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
It isn't about taking photos of everything, or to journal every minute of your day. It is just capturing the normal, every day things. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Well, here they are: </div>

I created this for <a href="http://www.jessicasprague.com/">Jessica Sprague's The Art of Poster Design</a> class. I know VERY little about digital design, digital scrapbooking, and SOME techniques in Photoshop Elements. I am learning everything pretty much on my own, trial and error, with a few books (3) I have, and through different resources like Jessica Sprague's site. Another incredibly useful site is <a href="http://www.beckyhiggins.com/">Becky Higgins'</a> and <a href="http://aliedwards.com/">Ali Edwards</a>' blogs. There are also TONS of sites and blogs where you can find tutorials on photo editing and designing. So far, I am loving this class. It isn't as difficult as I thought, and Jessica does an AMAZING job explaining each step (this is the second class of hers I have taken). I highly recommend it!!<br />
(I would love to etch something like this onto one of my glasses too!)<br />
For this particular poster, I highlighted the "L" to represent two of my nephews' names- Luciano and Liam.<br />
<br />
Have a great day!!!<br />

The theme this week for <a href="http://carlyrobertson.typepad.com/">Carly Robertson's Photo Friday Challenge</a> was Love. I am totally cheating here but this is what came to mind when I saw the theme. These were taken by my husband on the morning of July 18th, 2010, at the precise moment when our 2 older boys met their baby brother. He was about 24 minutes old. To this day, Sebastian and Alex still look at Dominic with all that love in their eyes. </div>

For today's <a href="http://carlyrobertson.typepad.com/">Photo Friday Challenge on Carly Robertson's blog</a>, the theme is animals. This is Marley, our 2 1/2 year old tri-color English Springer Spaniel. This is also one of the few moments when she is still enough to take her picture. She DOES live up to the name Marley, by the way. I think we should have named her Shadow sometimes. Every time we take 2 steps, she is right there at our heels. If we go in one room, she will wait for us right outside the door (that is, if the door is closed). She makes me crazy sometimes, but she is a good dog. The English Springer Spaniel is an excellent breed for active families. Marley loves to run, it is when she looks the happiest (aside from when someone is petting her, because one would think she hadn't seen anyone in a week!). </div>

The theme for (last) Friday's challenge over at<a href="http://carlyrobertson.typepad.com/"> Carly Robertson's blog</a> was shoes. I had my photo ready, with 4 pairs of my shoes, house shoes (that my husband makes fun of!), sneakers, boots and heels. Then, Dominic decided it would be fun to spread binder clips and crackers all over the floor, then stomp all over the crackers as he looked at me and laughed. I was cleaning everything up. and he had gotten into other things...and then stood on top of the Cricut cartridge box to try and climb on top of the desk! I have been trying to get used to learning how to use my Canon Rebel XS in manual mode (I used my 50 mm lens) and had it in my hands when I took this one.

This week's challenge for <a href="http://my3boybarians.com/">My 3 Boybarians' Project 52 Challenge</a> was to take our self portrait...it only took me about 273 tries (just kidding). I didn't edit this photo very much, just a little. As much as I hate seeing the sun spots on my face, I want to look back at this one year from now and compare the difference. Hopefully one year from now they will be gone!!</div>

Carly Robertson's challenge last Friday was pocket light-<span style="background-color: white; color: #7f7b73; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"><i><a href="http://carlyrobertson.typepad.com/thesimplethings/2012/01/photo-friday-challenge-pocket-light.html">Pocket light is just that, using a small pocket of light in the photo</a>.</i></span> Well, I am late in posting this because I just didn't have anything to photography like that. (I looked, I tried..didn't work.) Then Wednesday was my son Alex's 10th birthday and I got my opportunity. So here is my version of pocket light, and I am submitting with just about an hour left!! Can't wait to see what challenge Carly has for us today- hopefully it won't take me a week to get it! </div>

I missed the deadline to post my photo for the 1st week, so I am posting weeks 1 and 2 here for the Project 52 Challenge hosted by <a href="http://my3boybarians.com/">Darcy at My 3 Boybarians</a>. However, for the sake of linking properly to THIS week's theme, the first photo is for "Made With Love". I made this card for my youngest sister, Gabriela. She was in a pretty scary car accident early Tuesday morning. A guy ran a red light and hit her car in the side- HER side. Her car is totaled, and she is still in the hospital. She is still in quite a bit of pain, but is beginning to sound like herself. I can't wait until she is well enough to go back to the comfort of her own home. So...I made her a card. Is it an excuse to make something with paper? Maybe. It felt good not only to actually make something again this week after months of "papercrafting silence". It feels even better that she will know<b><i> </i>I </b>made this with my own hands.<br />

Here is the 1st week's theme: Resolutions. I had to add the text to the orange and blue binders, otherwise the photo is unedited. These are my resolutions...well, some of them...organizing our home-room by room, to get our finances in order, to use those calendars that I HAVE to have but never write in. There are a couple of other resolutions (get back in shape...I have always worked out but I stopped for several months last year...post on this blog consistently...learn how to use my camera and PSE 10 inside and out...not procrastinating...there's more- but they are realistic expectations that can and will happen)- they all revolve around being organized. In the end, when you are organized, you tend to have more time, energy, get more accomplished and it just seems to me that organized people are happier people.</div>

It's Friday, which means it's time for <a href="http://carlyrobertson.typepad.com/">Carly Robertson's Photo Friday Challenge</a>. This week's theme is sparkle. This adorable little man is my 2nd son, Alex. You can't tell by the huge smile on his face, but he isn't too happy about having to wear glasses. I have to learn how to remove glare from the lens, but he does have that *sparkle* in his eyes.</div>

Biscoff Spread. What can I say about this? I discovered the Biscoff cookies on a Delta flight a few years ago. They were so good, in fact, that I actually saved one of my packets...for OVER ONE YEAR. Yes, you read correctly. I held on to it because I was either going to find them in a store, or I was going to find a recipe for to make them myself. I was in WalMart one day, trying to decide on what kind of cookies I would buy that day...and there they were. And every package had coupons on them!! I bought 2 packages, which is a good thing because I ate an entire one by that night. What?! They were gooooood. And I don't know a single person who can say they haven't done the same thing at some point or other. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, I was on a trip to Las Vegas, and I was in THEIR WalMart with my niece and saw this. The spread has the consistency of peanut butter, but it is made from the actual cookies. I ate that jar by the spoonful. It is probably a good thing the spread is nowhere to be found in my area. Forget love handles, I would have a truck tire around my waist!</div>
I believe it is a type of speculoos cookie, one which I am not too familiar with really. I haven't found a recipe that comes close to tasting like these, and I would have to work out 5 hours a day 7 days a week to work off what I would gain trying. So, I have decided to just buy them every once in a while or for a special occasion. (PS- for the record, this jar is empty thanks to my husband!!!!!!!)<br />

They say it takes 21 days to create a new habit. As much as I love photography, I have to remind myself to take photos of every day little things. It's not just photography, it is a few other things that I am not sure I am ready to share yet. It all revolves around not procrastinating which I am VERY GUILTY of. One of my best friends, Errin, calls it "deadline driven". It makes me laugh every time I think about it, but in the ways that procrastinating has affected different aspects of my life is NOT funny. You can miss out on a lot of things if you aren't careful. So, that is one of my resolutions, to continue to push myself to be the best I can be, and to work harder in every way. It January 12, I have 9 days to go to see if this 21 day thing really works. So far, it seems like it does.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose 3 photo challenges to participate in this year and up first <a href="http://carlyrobertson.typepad.com/thesimplethings/">Carly Robertson</a>'s Photo Friday Challenge. I am a huge fan of hers and have been for a long time. It all began with her beautiful, classic, clean and simple cards. Now that she has changed her blog a bit and it is about "keeping it simple", she has me wanting to clean out my closets and all things unnecessary. Since I read one of her posts where she talks about being ruthless when she is getting rid of clothes and things her family doesn't need or use anymore...well, I have been ruthless around here as well. I am not completely finished but so far, it feels good to clear out some space.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, for this week's first challenge, we are taking self portraits...I don't like taking pictures of myself anymore. More than anything because me, being a big dummy sometimes, thought I could tan with no problem when I lived in Las Vegas. Now I have very unattractive sun spots all over my face. I hate being pale, but I would much rather be pale than have these ugly things that I am now seeing a dermatologist for to try and get rid of. (So far, it is working, but it will take a long time!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like this photo because I have no makeup on, hair pulled up, you can't see the sun spots, and I was just at home, being casual. Normally I don't know that I would even post this photo for all the world to see, but it is ME. Comfortable and relaxed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope that out of this challenge I improve my photography skills, and I will also end up with a nice collection of photos. They will help tell the story of my family's year.</div>

**The other challenges are 10 on 10 from Carly Robertson and Project 52 from <a href="http://my3boybarians.com/">my3boybarians</a>. They are all centered around photography. Maybe by this time next year I will have a great understanding of my Canon DSLR. And of course, an awesome photo album.</div>

It is an assortment of journals, planners, felt pouches and bags. They are great for organization, meal planning, daily life, record keeping, you name it. Follow the<a href="http://carlyrobertson.typepad.com/thesimplethings/2011/12/my-biggest-giveaway-ever.html#comments"> link</a> to enter this giveaway. Carly is offering a few different ways to enter so head over there now! (hahaha, that's an order!)</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">By the way, I found her blog through Paper Craft Magazine's blog, since Carly is a fellow paper crafter. She has recently changed the blog a bit, and is now geared more toward organization, photography and things like that. I for one, want to go clean out EVERYTHING every time I read one of her posts. I have been clearing stuff out recently, so THANK YOU Carly for the inspiration and the push to get started!</span><br />

Never in a million years would I have ever admitted this, especially for all the world to see, but I have recently become a UK fan. I have lived in Kentucky for quite a few years, and I will ALWAYS be a Florida girl. I had the opportunity to visit the UK campus not too long ago. It was then that I found out that not only is it one of the top schools in the country, but also has the #7 Spanish program as well. I figured, I live here, I might as well cheer on the home team. I also happen to LOVE basketball (as in die hard Miami Heat fans in my house). I love basketball almost (ALMOST) as much as soccer. Here in Kentucky, it seems to be almost a religion. So, I have these mugs, wine glasses, and sport mugs for all of the loyal Kentucky fans out there. They really are fun to watch. You can find them here~~> h<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/dreamingbythesea/" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">ttp://www.etsy.com/shop/dreamingbythesea/</a></div>

All of my glasses and mugs can be sold individually or in sets, and most can be personalized. Please contact me with any questions you may have in regards to pricing, personalization, shipping, etc.</div>

As promised, I am back with a post on Christmas themed items. First up, I have a melting snowman mug. At 11.75 oz, it is the perfect size for kids. It has plenty of room for the whipped cream on top of that hot chocolate. This would be a great gift for anyone on your list this year.<br />
<br />
It is available now in my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/dreamingbythesea?ref=si_shop">Etsy shop</a>, and can be personalized with someone's name on the other side of the cup. I have one available now, but if you need more, please contact me.<br />

Next, I have a mug that is a little bit more grown up. This one has 3 snowflakes on one side, and just like most of the glasses I etch, can be personalized if you would like.<br />

Fall season is our busiest season in my home. Our 2 oldest boys play soccer and run Cross Country for the school. I have been etching glasses for local orders, but my stamps and cardstock have been neglected all of this time. I got the Silhouette in July (or was it August?) from my local scrapbook store, <a href="http://preciousscraps.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">http://preciousscraps.blogspot.com/</span></a>. If you live in the area, you should definitely stop by. The Silhouette offers soooo many more options than the Cricut I was using. I am able to upload my own designs, use my own fonts, and best of all, it doesn't require much space since there are no cartridges to store. I won't be giving up my Cricut yet, but I do love my Silhouette!!<br />
<br />
<div>
So, here are a few pictures of the glasses I etched recently for a customer.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"> </span>You can always place an order directly through my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/dreamingbythesea/">etsy shop.</a></div>

Great site, I have been learning soooo much since I found her blog. If you have a chance, follow the links to her <a href="http://my3boybarians.com/31-days-series/">31 Days Series</a>. Lots and lots of helpful tips and tutorials if you are new to digital photography with a DSLR, or to Photoshop/Elements.<br />

The photo I am posting is actually one that my 9 year old, Alex, took of me and Dominic a few days ago. I love it, 1- because Alex took it, 2- because Alex took it with my "big girl" camera (Canon Rebel XS), and 3- because it was a spur-of-the-moment-hey-mom-turn-around kind of photo. I fixed it up a little bit in PSE (mainly because Dominic's outfit was completely mismatched).<br />

<br />
Darcy will be hosting her 2nd Annual Holiday Bokeh Party this Thursday. If you'd like to participate, the link goes live on Wednesday night- midnight, Central time.<br />
<br />
I'll be back later with a new post about my etched glasses for Christmas!!<br />
<br />
Have a great day!<br />
