I GOT AN AWARD! WOO HOO!

Bunny... THANK YOU! This is sooooo nice!

Ok y'all! Bunny over at Konad & Me tagged me for this award and I'm speechless!!! This is just so incredibly nice, especially coming from someone whose blog inspires ME! :)

So I'm supposed to tag 10 of my favorite blogs, so here-goes (it's going to be SO HARD to keep it to JUST 10)!

The Sunny Raw Kitchen - Amazing content! What a great writer too. All of her content is also accompanied with Amazing photos as well. But those recipes.... :)

Cutting Above - For any crafter/artist looking for how-to's and inspiration... this is just a great site. They will ALWAYS be one of my loved blogs.... they gave me my Gypsy! :)

Casual Lavish - Aside from being one of the most friendly bloggers I've had the chance to talk with, Vanessa over at Casual Lavish gives some pretty great review (honest reviews) of some pretty great products. She has introduced me to SO MANY new things! This is just a great all-around beauty site! :)

Chalene Johnson's Blog - She is my all time favorite DVD exercise instructor!!!! I also LOVE her vlogs. If you're looking to get fit with a TON OF FUN, check out Chalene's Turbo Jam workout DVD's and then head over to her blog for tons of info and tons of laughs!!! :)

Cricutters Anonymous - One of the things that I LOVE is crafting/scrapping... this is a WONDERFUL site for inspiration and projects! :)

Kandee The Make-up Artist - I just LOVE her blogs and the videos she posts. If you ever get a moment to check out her wedding make-up video, it is a MUST SEE for anyone who wants PERFECT make-up! :) She's also gorgeous inside and out. I SO wanna be Kandee when I grow up! hahahahaha! :)

Nail Addicts Anonymous - my nails are my obsession! I used to be a nail biter, so having nails and making them look pretty after spending my WHOLE LIFE with dreadful nails... well, it's like crack. I'm serious! And it's people like the wonderful girls at Nail Addicts Anonymous that remind me that I'm not alone. It helps that their pics are out of this world with polish swatches and manis that make me want to run and buy stock in nail polish remover!!! This is definitely one of my new faves! :)

Polish and Powder - Again... another source of enabling... uh, I mean inspiration for my nails! :)

Tuesday Treats - This blog is a MUST FOLLOW for any crafter who owns a Gypsy. The ladies who started this blog have a PASSION for creating the most amazing crafts. This is a new favorite that I hope to be a part of VERY SOON!!! :)

Konad & Me - Ok, so as I mentioned before Bunny's blog inspires me! If you are looking for some amazing ideas for nail art from someone who has GORGEOUS nails and BRILLIANT ideas, then THIS is the blog for you. Also, anyone new to the world of Konad can really benefit because she posts VERY regularly and ALWAYS on Konad Nail Art! :)

Welp, there's 10. I WISH I could tag 30! Thanx again for this award Bunny! You made my night, hence all the smiley faces! hahahahahahahaha! :)

Inking Pink Blog Hop

Hi Hoppers! Danielle, a.k.a. FitterTwit here.... so glad you made it!!! If you're mid-hop, you should be arriving here from Chelsea's blog . Was that a great project or what!?! If you're just joining us and need to start the hop from the beginning, you're gonna want to head over to our lovely Hop Hostess Patricia's blog to start the fun here on our VERY IMPORTANT Inking Pink Blog Hop! Here's to Breast Cancer Awareness!!! My project for this hop is a reminder card..."Remember your checkups!" What a wonderful way to say "I love you" to a dear friend or family member. Now you may not be able to see it in the pic above, but I altered The Greeting Farm's Ebony so that her tee shirt reads, "Say YES to Mammograms!" So, today I wanted to share HOW I added the words to her tee. First I printed the words as small as I could and still be able to read the message using my laser printer onto the paper that I would be using to color in my im...

So Lame

So over at Paper Vineyard, the challenge was to create a birthday project and it COULDN'T be a card.  I've personally been creating WAY too many cards lately so I was happy to try my hand at something new..... only I didn't. :(  Instead, I was busy preparing for last week's Cricut Swarm.  Now, while I missed creating a project specifically for our Birthday Non-Card challenge, I figured the cupcake box that I made would fit the bill PERFECTLY for a birthday-themed project.  The box also has an insert for a cupcake to fit inside.  I made it with my Cricut (cuz of the whole Cricut Swarm bit) and while I ADORE this box, I sort of had a little melt down making it and I decided that this is the last Provo Craft product I will ever buy.... let me share why (read through to find out the cartridge I used for this project)! Most of you know that I DESPISE Provo Craft.  I hate that the Cricut is a one-of-kind product that I loved....

Maple Syrup vs. Honey

I did a post a while back about the nutritious sweetener for the lemonade on the Master Cleanse: maple syrup ! In fact, for quite some time now it has been my only sweetner (well, that and agave nectar... YUM!). But why maple syrup... isn't honey the magical sweetener? First, let's consider where both come from. One comes from a tree and the other comes from flowers, but is predigested and then regurgitated by a bee. Can you guess which is which??? hahahaha ! Really though, just the idea that an insect's already digested nectar from a flower lends to the idea that the nectar is already devoid of nutrients when it's vomited back up. Isn't that the whole point of digestion? To pull the nutrients from whatever it is you have ingested. So is it safe to say that honey is a bi product ? Or even a waste material? I would certainly call MY vomit a waste material... what about you? But beyond the gross visual I now have in my head of honey, I also have a real concern about ...
