My Engagement Party!! November 26, 2009

On October 21,2009 Mathew and I had our engagement party!  It was so much fun! We had a lot of our close friends and family there. 2 of my sisters came. My other sister had a class for work and was not able to make it but I know she was there in spirit because for some reason I was dancing and I NEVER dance.. she is the dancing queen. Mats cousins came and his older brother was there as well.. Lots of pictures were taken and we even got gifts, which was totally unexpected but we really appreciate it. The week leading up to the party was kind of stressful because we were both working a lot and trying to get everything ready was like a 2nd full time job. After everything was said and done we could not have asked for a better turn out. The food was great! We had mini sandwiches, cupcakes, veggie tray and cheese and crackers!. The drinks were great. Everything turned out great. I even got a new dress. Which I think will be my fav dress from now on. Here are some pics from the party!

Could not be happier!! November 9, 2009

So much has been going on right now that I have not really found the time to update my blog. I will try my best to work on that… Yes I know I say that all the time but THIS time I really mean it! I promise

So lets start off with work.. I had gone down to part time but I had to go back up to full time because I will be coming off of my parents insurance soon and I’m sure we all know how that goes.. esp. right now. I need insurance. Trust me.. I really enjoyed my time working part time. It was amazing. Plus the holidays are coming up and I am going to want to buy presents and all that so I will NEED money..

On a poopy note.. I have had to start paying my student loans back.. NOT FUN AT ALL. Another reason I  have to be full time. I have to work on paying that back as well. I feel like bills are crazy right now.. I know I do not have a lot of bill compared to others but on the money that I make its kind of tough and try and save. I know  what I need to do. I need to stop eating out! That is where alot of my money goes.. But I HATE cooking.. after work.. I really just don’t feel like doing anything at all.. something else I have to start doing..

Now.. for the really great news!! I’M ENGAGED!! whoo hoo lol. Im so incredibly happy about this. My boyfriend of 3 years and I got engaged on october 22..

We have not done any planning yet. We are going to wait to get married till 2011 sometime. Maybe in the summer.. it seems far away but it is really not when I think about it. Im sure this will turn into my wedding outlet. Loads to think about and lots to do

I Want October 25, 2009

I have been thinking about what I would like to eventually do. I came up with I would LOVE to own my own store one day! I want that day to hopefully be soon. There is just so much money that goes into having a store front location.

I would have so much stuff to offer. I would have my jewelry and i know how to make soaps and I will be taking a skin care class so I would be able to make skin care products that are all natural. That is something that I am really excited about.

A store front location would be a lot easier to promote than on online store because people would be able to see your products in person.. well maybe one day this will happen. Everyone keep your fingers crossed.

Quick Update! September 22, 2009

I have not written anything in FOREVER!! For those who read my blog.. IM SORRY. I will try and be a better blogger. Nothing really has been going on in my life since the last time I blogged besides I was sick and in the hospital. I am better now so no need to bring that up.. I did join a few websites.. I joined blogher.com but I have no idea how to use that and I also joined http://www.20sb.net. It’s for people who blog who are in their 20’s. Lots of cool people on there and lots of blogs to read. So far im loving it.

Now.. for my love life.. so far so good. My boyfriend and I have been working really hard on trying to see each other more and he has been doing a wonderful job! He comes up to see me every chance he gets and I go see him when I have a chance too. The other weekend I went down to his place and we went out with his family to a craft show in Romeo, Michigan. That was a lot of fun! After the craft show we went to a Middle Eastern restaurant and it was soo good. I love middle eastern food. Thats a good thing since he is 1/2 Lebanese. So since we have gotten to see each other more it really makes things a lot easier in the relationship.

I have still been making my jewelry and selling it online. Things have been going kind of slow there but I always continue to hope that things will pick up soon. Maybe with the holiday right around the corner people will be shopping at my shop but with the economy the way it is who knows.. I need more ways to promote my store than just on twitter and facebook.. if anyone has any ideas let me know! I’m always willing to listen!

Also I am still trying to work on the magazine but I just cant really find the time but I will try and work on it today. I can not wait to get this up and running and I am glad to have a few people on board who want to work on it with me. I hope it will be a hit! I have lots of ideas! Please say tuned and Check out my artfire site

The ezine August 30, 2009

I have so many ideas going through my head. I have so much that I want to do.. I’ve been thinking about thinking about this for awhile and I want to start an ezine. For thoes of you who do not know what an ezine is its like an online mini magazine that I would send out through email. I think I would send it out once a month.

It would cover all kinds of things from music and books and fashion makeup dating and relationships and have funny relationship stories and have different features. It would really just include anything a girl would want to read about.I think it would be a great idea and I can’t wait to get started. I am in need of writers for it too so if you like to write and want to do it I think it will be fun and I can not wait to get started

My Twitter Family!! August 27, 2009

OK now before I signed up for twitter I had no idea what it was about or why people even used it. But now that I finally signed up for it back in Feb. I think it was I can not stop using it! I thought it would be so weird talking to people that I did not even know.. I dont know how to  put it.. I just thought it would be so strange!

I have came across so many great and interesting people whom I would not have talked to otherwise. We may not have deep conversations all the time but its great just to joke around and see what other people are doing with their day.

I have also used twitter for my website (http://www.artfire.com/users/InfinityLine) and  my friends from twitter give me great feedback and buy things and give me ideas about what they want to see in my shop!

I also have started a book club with my ‘twitter family’ which Im sure you have read about in my previous posts which I am really excited about. That just started this month so if you would like to join just leave a comment or shoot me an email! Im sure its going to be alot of fun!

So to all my followers on twitter that will be reading this and also to my future followers.. Its be so much fun getting to know you and talking with you and I cant wait to learn more about all of you!

The Change…. August 27, 2009

So I came to a realization this morning.. My life has got to change.. I used to be a happy go lucky person and it seems like something inside me just went out. I became a not so happy person and mean and that is not who I am. I need to get back to the things that I used to like and the things that I used to do. Being a nice person is the only way things will work out for me. So I am letting the past be the past and I am going to be the bigger person and let things go.

I really want things to work out for me. ( I know everyone does) but all I really want is for my jewelry line to take off so I can branch off into other things. I had some sales this week and I loved it! Made me feel great and I could not ask for anything more! I just have to keep making things and putting it out there for the world to see.

I have so many ideas of the things that I want to do and im excited to do them. I feel like I finally know what I want to do with my life! I am supposed to be an entrepreneur! I love it. Its hard and first but I’m sure it will pay off in the end. I have to make a list of all the things I need/ need to do.. hmm maybe I will do that tomorrow..

Book Club Update!! August 26, 2009

OK so here is the deal for the book club. We will be reading Bright Lights Big Ass by Jen Lancaster! She is a great writer and its so funny! I’m sure you can get the book anywhere like boarders or wherever or even check out your local Lib. She is also the author of Bitter is the New Black which I loved. I will give out the Chat information later but we will be using tinychat.com when we are ready to meet. Lets say we should have this book done by… Sept 26th. The book has about 380 pages so its not that bad. For anyone who has not read Bitter is the New black you might want to read that first. Its such a easy read that you can have both done by then. You wont even want to put it down! Any questions or comments leave them here or get ahold of me on twitter

Online Book Club! August 25, 2009

So today I was thinking and I have always wanted to join a book club but I do not really know that many people in my area who actually really like reading. I have looked for other online book clubs but nothing really caught my eye…

So I figured I would start an online book club! I thew the idea out on twitter and I got a few responses that people wanted to participate which is WONDERFUL! It really made me excited. Now I am trying to work things out in my head but it would be great if anyone wanted to put in input as well.

I was thinking that we would do 1 book a month (depending on the length) if its short then maybe 2 books a month but if it is long then maybe take a month and a half or 2 for the book…

Each month a member can pick a different book and the group will read the book so everyone has a chance to pick a book or I can also hold a poll on the blog and everyone can vote for the next book.

Also we would have meeting times where we would all get online to chat about the book. I have come across this really cool website where we can make our own chat rooms and even have video and sound which is really cool.. (in my opinion) Now you do not HAVE to have a webcam to participate but it would be fun! (and we will be keeping it clean lol no dirty or nudie people in the chat room) This would be a great way to network and meet other people and share our love for reading and even make new friends!

Now for the first book I want to do something by Jen Lancaster because I am falling in love with her books and she is a great writer and her books are not boring at all! I have read bitter is the new black which is the first book in her series so I think I may make that the first book just so everyone will be on the same page for other books of hers if we choose to read them!

Please let me know what you think!!
