Card and Gift bag

I've actually been creating an awful lot.  My problem: once the picture is taken there is  no guarantee that I'm actually going to upload it to my computer.  The other day I sat down and I uploaded all the pics in there.  So now for a little while I'll have something crafty to put up here. 

I crated this for my Mother in law's birthday.  I'm obsessed with creating gift bags out of lunch bags. They're cheap and very easy to personalize.  I've been making them left and right.  I have a few more projects to share with them later in the week.  Inside this bag was a Peachy keen stamp set, two acrylic blocks, a momento dew drop and the refill.  Fit in there perfectly.  Of coarse I forgot to give her the card but that's besides the point.  I used a lot of things to create this project so I'm going to try and link as much as possible. Not necessarily where I purchased it from but so you can get an idea of what it is and looks like.  The only thing that I really altered was the ribbon and the white paper flowers.  The ribbon used to be a baby blue color and I used my copics with the chisel end and colored it to match I did the same thing with the white paper flowers except I used the brush end to color them.  On the bag the butterflies are supposed to form a heart. Didn't look as nice as I was hoping but the effect is still noticeable I think.

My baby turned 1!

My sweet baby boy turned 1 yesterday.  He's totally sweet and spoiled. I LOVE MY SON! Here is a picture we took for his 1st birthday at Portrait Innovations.  He's so photogenic. I brought a cupcake to his photo shoot and he did not want anything to do with it. He did like playing with the clown decoration that was on it though.

I won! I won!

I can't believe this, I won the Martha Stewart Cricut cake machine through Craft Critique.  I'm over the moon excited.  I can't wait to have it in my hot little hands. It's beautiful! Ofcoarse Ryan was not happy that I bought one already but my friend did not have a chance to catch the great Michaels deal so I'm selling it to her for a really good price.  She's totally excited about that.  YEAH!!!

I'm a .com!!!

I'm so super excited. I've been thinking about doing this for a little bit, you know in case I get famous or something, then the other day I decided to go with it,  got almost all the way done and my Internet went down. Called, got it taken care of and then it would not let me check out because some one had an order on this domain already, YES me! This morning I'm in my son's bedroom, cleaning pee off the carpet cause he thought running away from me and peeing the carpet was fun times, and my husband surprised me with my laptop and my own domain name. He bought it for me.  So now you can find me at creationsbyyaritza.com
but you will still be directed to this website through creationsbyyaritza.blospot.com as well.

I'm almost done...

....breast feeding.  It's been a long year and I'm glad it's almost over. I never nursed my daughter this long so I had no idea how frustrating and time consuming it can me. It hasn't exactly been going well for me these last few days.  A lot of crying and a lot of sticking his hand down my shirt while in public. Kinda embarrassing but what am I do it.  Today I only nursed twice which is a huge accomplishment since he normally nurses after every meal, snack and just when he feels like it.  So whoop! whoop! my boobs will soon be mine once again.

My pretty new toy

I've been going to Michaels and seeing that they had the Cricut cake on sale for 50% off. I was debating and debating. Finally broke down and asked my husband if I could go and get it cause that's such a good deal. After begging and begging he finally gave in. Went to Michaels and they had it on sale for 60% off. I was in heaven. Bought the Cricut cake for $150. SERIOUSLY? The had the coordinating cartridges for $20 and the mats and blades on sale for 60% off too. I stocked up on all they had of those and went to another Michaels to pick up more. I also got the frosting sheets but after I cut a few of those and went to taste them, they were the nastiest thing I've ever had. Took the ones I hadn't opened back. They were really gross. It was like eating plastic. LOL! I have a few ideas of things I want to do with it for my son's party so I'll post pics of those ones they're all done.
