Some Updatedness

Sorry I haven't written in a while, I'm still trying to get things sorted out on what I need to do with this blog, and what I need to do with my life so on and so forth.

Having two jobs, a boyfriend that needs attention and time to relax, it’s hard for me to find the time to sit down and do all I need to do for my life, blog, and sanity. Right now, my eye won't stop twitching and its very quite annoying!

Right now, my HobbyLobby duties are taking quite a lot of time, as we're making about $5,000 in frame sales a week, and at then end of this week, we have 12 shadowbox jerseys to make, and in the middle of next week, we have a 17 11x14 frames to make with everything in it. Busy, busy couple of weeks, it has been so bad, we've been about three weeks off from our due date, and customers have been really annoyed by this, but poo to them!

Subbing has picked up, and the classes have been so boring, that I've seen 5 movies for the past week! I almost want to teach these classes as opposed to me falling asleep halfway through class cause of no lights. I feel so guilty playing puzzle games while the kids watch the movie, but if I don't, I fall asleep! The kids are great, especially at Jersey Village; they are always good, because I've had almost all the kids in the school in one class or another; its other schools that I don't have that much luck with. I'm so used to Jersey Village that when I do venture out to other schools, I don't practice my whole, No-Talking, I'll take roll with whoever turns in their work, rule. Usually I get good responses, others leave class.

As far as movies go, I have seen movies and I do have pictures, and I'll give my two cents on the movies, and possibly a calendar of movies I DO want to see, so you guys can get an idea of what I'll be seeing and that way you can set your calendars (if you wish) so you can see what I have to say about the movie! Movies I have seen in the past are: Shutter Island, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, How to Tame Your Dragon, and The Crazies.

Recently I went to Comicpalooza here in Houston, Texas! Got to see some amazing things, people, and dresses, and I will post here my purchases, and my finds, as well as some amazing dress artists and some amazing Celebrities...or pseudo celebrities...or however you view them. Forewarned, these images were taken on my cell phone, so they are kind of crappy!

Last but not least, I do have makeup pictures and I do have makeup ideas to share with you all, and I’ll get to those as soon as I can!

Much Love!

New Inspiration?

I know that I haven't used this blog in well...ever! but I felt that I've been doing so many things that are creative, fun and inspirational, I just had to share. Its not often that someone is able to give back to something that has given so much. I read a lot of blogs, find people whom I find inspirational, and I feel that I take so much from these people that I'm not contributing. So here's my first attempt at giving something back!

What I've Been Up to so far!

1. I've started making jewelry again, for some reason I've been enjoying this immensely. Just the creative feel of making things that I can wear has been such a joy, and very therapeutic. Just turning on my computer and stringing beads or turning jump rings is such a great way to relax and enjoy.
2. I've started to wear makeup! For years I was always on the down turn of makeup, never really knowing HOW to wear it, HOW to apply or HOW it works with me! I always loved color, and I always hated that there were never really any options other than MAC and Urban Decay that offered bright makeup. I came across Lime Crime Makeup created by the fabulous Doe Deere and my color wishes came true. I know that there has been some drama regarding her makeup, but I've found my whole experience with the company to be very satisfying. Not only that, but I love her Candy Future Lipsticks, and true to her word these lipsticks are one application color. I'll do more of a review on them later! Its not just the makeup though, I love her blog! Its a great place to wander into and look at her different makeup ideas, and thoughts. Its just a relaxing place for people to go, just to enjoy.
3. I've gotten into fashion! Now, this is not the fashion that we see on runways or on E! or Style, but its more along the lines of costuming. I'm starting to dress up more with different themes, and most of them are for movies! I usually dress up towards the theme with the movie, and I'll give what I wore, and what did I make, so on so forth. I'll also give my review on the movie itself. If people are curious, I'll go a head and give the tutorial on the makeup itself! ^_^ It's probably a long way from what other people do, but I like it and its fun! ^_^
4. My artistic side has been coming out, and its been doing that more so on my The Oracle of Dreams deviant art account than ever! I purchased a Bamboo Wacom board back in December, and I'm loving every minute of using it! I never realized the countless ways you could use PhotoShop and a Wacom board! I love it it! And, within reason of my stock photographers, I will post images up here with proper crediting of course, with copyrights, of some images I would like to display.
   
5. More so now than ever I've been writing. Its as if a dam has blown and the rivers of thoughts are convening in my head ready to pour out onto the world. Now I really can't delve into what I'm actually writing, but I'll write about my inspirations for the works, and why I wanted to write them! ^_^

Thanks for the time and effort that you're doing for my work, I love doing all this, and I love giving out inspirations to other people who come across this. I hope I keep up with all that I'm promising, and hope that there are topics out there that would benefit my carefree cause that I'm producing here.

With the Warmest Regards,
