Okay, so I've been MIA for quite a while, both here and at my Etsy store. However, school for my kids is drawing to a close very soon and I'm planning a major overhaul on both sites, so if this blog appears a bit wonky from time to time it's because I'm doing some tweaking.
Throughout the course of my hiatus, I have acquired a new version of Photoshop for my graphics and I've been brushing up little by little on that, and I've also gotten my hands on some new jewelry making materials that I'm just dying to get creative with a.s.a.p.! New PS, beads, bead caps, wire, etc.... oh boy! See? I've not abandoned anything, just been working in the background a bit. :D
I've also been getting into makeup a little bit. Gosh only knows why as I seldom wear it on a day to day basis, but for some reason I've been enjoying watching tutorials on Youtube on how to apply it. My makeup skills are sadly lacking since I haven't been a regular makeup wearer since the mid 90s or so (yikes!) so I've been trying to bring myself to the present times on that. Most of the "gurus" I've seen are in their late teens to mid 20s, there seems to be very few that are my age and/or do looks that I feel would be age appropriate for me. I certainly can't afford high end products such as Mac, so I stick to common drug store brands. Ya know, I don't even know if I'd buy the high end brands even if I COULD afford them, I've found some bargains just with locally available common brands that IMO are pretty good quality.
The kids and I are currently building a fire pit in our front yard. It's been kind of fun, not to mention the kiddos have actually been (semi)cooperating during the process. We're still not done with it but when we are, look out marshmallows, we shall be impaling you with long sticks and toasting you to sticky gooey goodness when we get it done. Mmmmm....
Anywho, that's all I'm going to post for now, have a great day! Be good, and be good to each other. <3
