I love crafting!!

Lately it seems like I have been getting the chance to make alot of stuff. I really want to start doing a craft everyday. I have come to realize that crafting and making things is really an escape for me. When I get my creative juices flowing, there is no stopping me. I love to do nearly everything that has to do with crafts. I just wish I could keep up with one in particular (my scrapbooks). I always start and never finish! Maybe that will be my next goal...get my scrapbooks going and don't stop half way through! I just finished an outfit for a girl named Betsy, it was her nieces first birthday and the theme was "Sock Monkey". Ive always thought that monkey themes were adorable for kids birthday's (since they are much like monkeys themselves lol). Here is a few pictures of the finished product. Next week I have a bow order, and a photography session! Then the week after that I have an order for a few dozen firetruck cupcakes...keep the orders coming! It makes my life fun and keeps me happy!



Look how precious the ribbon made monkey in the middle of the hair bow is! I just love it!



Finished product! Just love it!

Peaceful.

Right now I am sitting in UHCL at my Special Education class. We are watching a video about children who are in special education and I cannot help but think about how blessed me and my family and friends are. Lately I have thought about alot of the negatives that come along with life in general. I haven't taken the time out to look at all the wonderful thing that are going on right now in my life, my families life and all the people I love and care about. Life is such a short ride. I want to have all the fun and happiness I can before it is all over. I thank God for everything that he has provided for me and I can't help but ask why? I know the answer...because I have laid everything down on the line and gave him all my worries. That is the only reason, on a daily basis I tell God, please just do your will and I will be happy. No matter what that is, it is his will and I know it is what is best for me.

Today before class I took the girls to go get some highlights, just wanted to share a picture for this blog. Doesn't really go with my message, just a fun pic :)

Living life to the fullest!

Lately I have been so stressed out about finances and everything that surrounds school. I haven't even stopped to smell the roses and point out all the wonderful things that are developing in my life. When Daddy passed away it put my entire life on hold, I didn't even want to get up in the morning...much less go to school and act like a normal person. Slowly but surely I am starting to do more and think about the wonderful man that my Daddy was and will always be. The past week all I can think about is how my dad lived his life to the fullest! He never ever let a fun time or something fun pass him up, he always was having fun even in his last days. I want my life to be like that! The past few months I really gave up on craft's, cakes and also photography. Which is crazy to me because those are all the things that I absolutely love to do. My Daddy was the one who bought me my first camera and was always buying me photography things and being completely enthusiastic about my photography kicking off! I never want to quit because that is something that me and him loved talking about together. He was always cheering me on with everything that I do. So this past week I have started to do things that I love again! Here is a few snapshot's of what I have been doing this past week!



Here is a cute peace sign cake I made for Nick's cousin who was turning 11!



A lovely pink and black polka dot bow I made for an adorable baby girl!



And how could you not want a cutesy camo bow!



Last but not least, I took this couple's pictures at a park around Baytown. They did wonderful!

Alot of little Wyatt lately

Meet Wyatt Lee Medrano, he is precious and the last few days I have got to see him so much and I love it! :) I just had to post a couple pictures of him because he is just a doll! I can't wait for it to be me and Nick's turn after we get married to have a chubby cutie just like him!
