On Making a youtuve Tutorial... Basic bow headband!

I made a basic bow headband tutorial today, it was a lot harder than I remember! My camera was acting up, Plus it was super hard to get a good view from behind the camera to see what I was actually doing!!! Last time I made a tutorial, I angled the camera differently, so next time I'll Keep that in mind....

For this bow headband I used recyled ribbon from an old shopping bag. This is a good idea, since it might otherwise go in the trash. I try to do this as often as possible, in all my crafts. It also saves me money. Well I will let you watch the video now...just don't judge too harshly :)

Apperantly there was a mistake when uploading the video so heres the link instead:

Why buy...when you can swap???

I mentioned before that the reason I joined blogger and decided to give blogging a try was because I wanted to join an online swap....well I still have to get to that, but the reason I wanted to give online swapping a try was because I've had  swapping parties(at home) with friends and family and they were truly successful.
I decided to write about this, since I think Its a GREAT thing to do. Not only is it fun, but you get to get rid of stuff you don't need and possibly get stuff you've really been wanting!
The rules for our swap were the following:
1. 10 ppl max
2. Everyone brings the same amount of items( we had 10 each)
3. You are given one peg(with your number or name on it) and you put it on items you want.
4. If more than one person wants the same item, then you put their names into the hat and see who wins it.
5. once you go through the first time, then you go again until all the items are gone!

We made ours a potluck so we had an incredible time swapping, eating and drinking ;D
** Also, if you make things, like I do, this serves a good purpose to basically barder you stuff in exchange for things you like. For instance, the things that I didn't sell I might take to a party to swap.
Another good idea is to do a craft swap...I haven't done this since I don't know many crafters in my area :(

Here is something I plan to take to my next swap!

Its a baby headband...SUPER cute :)

IT HAPPENED!!! IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!!!

Woooohoooooo!!!!
I am super excited. After wanting a scooter badly for the past, like four, years I finally got one. It was a present from my husband, Victor. This is for my upcoming graduation from college...hummm which leaves me thinking that I better pass all my classes. Well my present was a brand new Yamaha Vino (classic) scooter in a white/cream/brown color.
I was a bit nervous to actually get on it(made my husband put his neck on the line first) but I did ok. My scooter is only a 50cc so it goes 40mph max, but I had never been in a two wheeler(besides a bicycle) before, so boy did it feel fast! I can't wait to accessorize it...any ideas??
Yesterday(Easter) my whole family came over to my house to hide eggs and sorts, but I think we had the most fun trying out the scooter. My brother is a natural! By the end of the day he was serving as taxi rides for the kids...don't worry it was in a non traffic area and everyone was wearing their helmets. It was really fun to see everyone testing it out, but boy was I worried that one of them might fall over...worried for the of course:)
I am posting a pic of my scooter here, only my husband is the one on it because to be completely honest I take pictures horribly...as in I am not photogenic >.<

HEHEHE I LOVE MY HUSBAND

Well I hope that I won't be disappointed in the near future(or at all, actually)....wish me luck!

Introduction...Hi!

Hey guys!
Well here it goes!!! I finally decided to seriously persue this blogging thing. I am actually really doing this because I wanted to join a craft swap, and a blog is a requierment...hummm, well since I am actually going to blog I figured it'd be about the things I love. I love my family, and I love to make things! (oh and you might get some unwanted history)
Things to be warned about me:
I suck at spelling.
I sometimes write with great inspiration...and then I write a bit more like I talk, but don't get confused IT'S STILL ME!
I work with kids...so most of the time I end up sounding like them!
I have FB and Youtube accounts.
I have a neat freak husband(but he is getting tired of trying therefore slowly giving up) :)
I have a 7 year old girl..Felicity
hummm idk what to really write about, strange cause normally I ramble on and on and on.
Oh! I am 23 years old, in college(hisory), work, and I'm a full time wife and mom.
Yes go ahead do the math...I had her when I was 16. Yes my husband and I have been together for a looong time!
OK then  good meeting you and Good bye for now!
