Back to Crafting!
I have been in a sort of crafting low, I haven't done anything just for fun lately. So, in an effort to change that fact I have started to collect my nieces baby food jars (yes, yes I am home for the holidays :D ).

But now I'm a bit stuck and don't know what to do with them lol


In other exciting news I GOT NEW SHOES!
I don't know if you understand the magnitude of this situation but...let us just say that I'm WELL overdue for these :D And, I love love them! Thank you sibbie!!! And, they were only 17 dollars (yes I know I'm a bargain shopper)!!

Blowing Me Away
Since I have been back into the swing of things I am back to being constantly blown away by all of the amazing creative artists that are all around me :)

Today I was really feeling a few works, so as usually I'll share them with everyone!
(another cool thing is the photography! How do they do it!!)

New to the etsy scene Rich-In-Craft seeps with pure elegance, class and style! Of course the photography drew me in but I stayed a while for the handle on that bag (HOT!)

In a past post I mentioned a fiber -> evolution bathing suit top, well this time it is all about winter outfitting!! I love everything (yes everything!) In this shop but mostly the wide range of colors that all of the pieces are available in! (oh, an the photography!)

Today while looking for a flower broach (is that how you spell that?!?) for my mother I came across this bouquet by Romantic Flowers. GORGEOUS!!!! I love the color the detail and of course the sparkle (Yay sparkle!!)

Now who doesn't like a good cupcake?? Well, a lot of people actually...BUT I LOVE a good faux cupcake, and that is exactly what this is! A feast for my eyes :D Thank you Creative Abubot!


Hope You enjoyed, and Be Blessed!!

Lisette A Shop Swap & Blog Story
About Lisette:
little Z is Lisette - a Dutch girl; always busy crafting and creating and owner of little Z, a shop with cute handmade stamps, paper goods and DIY products.

I live at the West-coast of Holland in a small house with my boyfriend and my cat. I love to read, walk, travel and - of course - craft. I cannot and will not choose between many different crafts and techniques like drawing, knitting, making stamps, paper craft, photography, digital art, illustration and more...

My house is stashed with creative stuff and normally I am busy with ten projects at the same time… Almost all my spare time I am making stuff.

Little Z designs and makes stamps, stationery, books and more. There is no mass production, but original designs made with love.

Little Z?
Lisette is my name and my nickname is set (ie, Z) and I'm only 1.58 m, hence the name Little Z.

Little My Inspiration:
I'm a dreamer, loves fairy tales and stories and anything mysterious or otherwise. I also get my inspiration mainly from these stories, but also from nature and the world around me. I love bright, stylized forms and that is certainly reflected in my designs.

Let's Catch Up!
I went into the bathroom looked up and saw this lol (good thing I had my camera) Someone stole the "S" (well now most of the letters are gone).

I spent a whole week standing in front of this sign soliciting the lady's night event! (So much fun!!)

Got to see the parade on sweet hear circle!! It was chilly.

Fortunately I didn't have to stand in this line to get food at the school (I was one of the first people in it, yumm food)

And, finally got to rock wall climb! (Though I must say that I wasn't wearing the most wall climbing friendly attire)

Went to my first college game...and left after half time...

This is at lady's night in!! It was a major success and I had so much fun! :)

Ran into my friend "J" and he let me take a picture of his scar that was oddly shaped like a heart lol
Got to see my boyfriend after 2 months of long distancing it up!

Played dress up with my niece and cousin from Germany :)

Had some yumm yumm yummy thanks giving food, and fun with my family!

WHOO! That was a lot to pack into one post, but I tried to keep it brief!

And! Shop of the week is back :) So please take a look!!

The Real "About Me"
My name is Ladipo Harris and I am 20 years of age
.

I have been homeless, lonely, and depressed. I have deep embedded fears that at times I cannot understand. But, I have also loved, and been loved, and blessed beyond belief in and out of every storm.

I have spent the majority of my life as a keep it to myself type of person. And, always felt as if everyone had bigger problems than me, and that I was just being over emotional. But today I have decided to come from behind my fears, and introduce you to me.

These days it seems that the internet is full of blogs, and everyone seems to be living such lovely lives, doing lovely things...well, I'm not one of them. I have problems, I even struggle every month to get my rent paid.
Someone once made a comment that said that they wanted to be like me, but I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

This year has been a trying one, with success and failure, but through it all I learned a lesson or at least grew a bit stronger. My life is nothing like it was 12 months ago, I can proudly say that I am a better person. I have less fear, stress, and anxiety and that is always good.

And, one of the great things that happened to me this year was blogging. I started because the lady at the rent office said that I should, so I did. I never expected to even have more than 10 followers.
Thank you all for being such a positive part of my life and always being so encouraging even when I have to sometimes take a break.

Sorry for such a long drawn out emotional post but I felt like sharing.

Hello :)
I just wanted to stop in and say that I might be getting someone to man the blog for me for a little bit. Currently I am having a little bit of a rough time but I'll be back as soon as I'm doing better.
hmm...now to find someone....any volunteers??
