Hello my name is Nikki and I am a shopaholic!

Hi everyone! Well yes I do have a shopping problem, so I caved in and got myself some glimmer mist (10 to be exact). I missed the 4.19 they had at joanns but I ended up getting them at 4.79. Which still beats out others that I have been looking at. I as well ended up getting some distress ink from Tim Holtz. I recently bought some at michaels and I actually really do like the color. It is a rich color to stamp with or distress with. I bought the Tim Holtz distress ink at 2.99 which is great because at michaels it was at like 4 dollars! I just now have to wait for it to get to my house. Its sad because I am the type of person that likes things right at that moment. Instant gratification! But hey no where in miami can I get glimmer mist or the colors that I got for the pads at such a low price! So I am tempted to get a set of the greeting farms stamps. I have some digis but I kinda want the rubber stamps. I need to curb my spending on items and start creating more stuff. I need to finish the other book that I am doing I havent really started it but I do have to finish it soon! Well I should get back to work!

Back from a mini vaca!

So I am back from my mini vaca in ft. myers/port charlotte area here in florida. It was so relaxing I really cant wait to go back! They had an awesome sell in michaels which sadly i didnt get to go because I was away and never got to go to the michaels in ft. myers, which I really want to go. But looking at it on the birghter side I did get to go to A.C Moore there in ft. Myers. Just for your info we in miami do not have an A.C. Moore and if we do its like in ft. lauderdale! So since I was around that area I had to go in a take a peak. I found some stamps for halloween for only a dollar and they are just too cute. I as well got some little charms for only two dollars. Today im going to michaels so to see what they have mainly in the dollar section and the clearence section. I might get some beautiful primas that I have been seeing everyone getting but the ones that only come with two flowers that are not paper! I think they are just too cute! So while I am on my lunch break from work I will be shopping for that short little time but since I have a michaels and a joanns right by me I am happy. I need to post up some picture of the not finish mini for my friend. I still havent gotten around to doing that. But I will! If anyone has lived or is living in florida they know that this weather is really weird. It is almost never cold this long and guess what people its cold for us florida people that never have cold weather EVER! So I am a bit chilly today! Which is not good...

So today while surfing the next I came upon the article for the olympic luger that has died! He was only 21 years old and comes from a town of only 1,500 people! The poor kid was only 3 years younger then me give or take. It is awful to see that some of the officials from the olympic are saying that he was at fault for flying over the wall into an unpadded pole. I do not know how anyone can go on with their life without thinking maybe I could have done something to save this boys life. Maybe made a wall (that they actually made after this death)or maybe padded the poles. The picture on the internet were gruesome even for me and I am a nurse. I feel for his family and his small town. May God bless that family.

Okay so I will be posting some pictures soon and if you guys have the chance to go to Big Lots they have this big pack of chipboard letters, frames and other stuff for like 5 dollars. I NEED to show you guys what it brings because for only 5 bucks you get lots of little items in there! Bye for now and I hope everyone tries to stay warm!

Wow is been a month!

So I know I have been a super bad blogger but here are some new pictures of my projects. I still need to show the other projects I have done. I made a mini for a friend. Another mini for the same friend but I did it for her wedding. Well her vow renewal. I know shes going to like it because she already saw it and she loved it and wanted to make a whole bunch for the people that are going to be at the wedding. So I will put it up as soon as I can! But here are my projects!

Okay so these are for my DD! They are for valentines day. They are done with the circut and I forgot what cart. Then I scored all the bags before I ran them through the cuttlebug. I used the heart embossing folder. The ribbon is actually from the dollar store. They came out super cute, and they are small enough for a little hand to carry. They have two chocolates, a lollipop and a pencil. She is going to put the valetines day card in there and then friday there is school party. So thats when they get there little items.
My initial that I got for only a dollar! Awesomeness! Kirkland home has a great clearence section! Thats all I had to say.

Dont you just love these! I got them at the dollar store. My favorite color is blue! I LOVE blue! It just works so much better like this then any other thing i have found. So if you want some go get them. They sell it in Wal-mart but the Wal-mart ones are just like a clear white. Not very cute but these are!


Everyone know about the mailboxes. Well this one is mine for daughter. She has helped me out so much! Those letters are the chipboard letters that target had! Its the letter of the teachers last name. This one is for Mrs. Lena. Just added some candy and there you go!








The hundred day of school project. My DD has to do something for the hundredth day of school and she wanted to do hearts. OMG those are alot of hearts. Where there is white it just shows the overlapping of other hearts. It took forever to put together. And she helped out so much. Then she got tired of it half way through it, so I ended up finishing it.
