Apron~Addict

From the words of my daughter Devon, We are apron~addicts. And I can see why. I purchased a book on aprons and was totally WOW'D. I realized just how beautiful aprons really are. You can have yucky clothes on, and cover it with a apron and Viola you are instantly glamorous again. As I read this book from cover to cover until 3am, I put on my thinking cap (yes at 3am) and thought of several different aprons I could make to submit to the apron contest that will be coming up. Or better yet, why not get a booth at a craft fair and sell them. So I got up, sorted thru my fabric and a light bulb went on! I think I found my passion. I've always done creative things. There's always a theme for our parties, it takes 6 months for us to plan parties. So why not host a apron party. I can only imagine what kind of apron will come to the party. Your Grandmothers aprons that were handed down? Or your Mothers for that matter? My Grandmother used to wear a apron that was like a dress. And I remember, there is so much that goes into my Grandmother's cooking that she actually has a apron that goes along with the cooking of that day.
 As I grow older and I have children and grandchildren of my own, I often think," What kind of legacy do I want to pass on"? I knew instantly! Leave a legacy of, Passion. When we get tied up into today's world we forget what passions we have.
So From today forth, I will do just that. I must admit, "I am a Apron~Addict".

If My Life Were A Cupcake

One of my favorite foods in life is the amazing cupcake. So I thought, if my life were a cupcake which one would I'd be? That's easy, The Red Velvet cupcake!! The chocolate in it is smooth and delicious and when you add the red dye, it brings out the fiery. Add the cream cheese frosting and you are a BANG!! So to sum it up, I can be very charming, with a twist of feisty, and a very sweet person. If your life could be a cupcake, which one would you be? Remember life is full of challenges, and that's a really good reason to eat a cupcake. Have a Sweet Day!!

Just a Beautiful Day here in California

It's taken a few days to get myself back to par, but I actually think I needed that rest time. Just in time for the weekend. And it's going to be a Beautiful Warm Weekend here in California.
It's funny how you wait for the weekend to come, and then come to a halt, wondering what should I do. I always have a full weekend planned ( in my mind), and then I get side tracked. But hopefully I'll stay on track this weekend.
I started making these cute aprons, I have many to make to give to the people I love. And have had many say, "You should sell these" I often think, "Are these worth selling" So who knows, maybe I'll give it a try in the future. Now if I could just learn how to post a picture of them you could see how fancy and cute they are. I know! I'll ask Devon, she's a post and paste pro. lol
 So with that said, I wish all my family and my new friends a wonderful weekend, if you don't live in Cali, you should, cuz it's a amazing beautiful hot day in the middle of January.

Lesson Learned Today

My lesson learned today, "Think before you speak"! I've been married 27 years and I've watched my husband do this every day of our marriage. So you'd think I'd have this down? Right? NOPE! My words to someone went to another in a totally different way. My head is spinning thinking how, did this happen? I can sum it up! Did you think before you spoke, because if you had you wouldn't be spinning.
As I learn, each day is a gift. Tomorrow is never promised. So to be a positive person, you need to take your lessons learned and produce the best person you know. Even if it means admitting you weren't thinking!

Blast From The Past

When I decided to put my blog together I thought, "am I FANCY enough for this"? Then quickly answered YES! Just a little. So as I begin my "Big" adventure into the blog world, I hope I can put a smile on your face or a ahh moment in your heart.
 I realized late in my life that if I don't get up to date with the computer world, I will be stuck somewhere in the 70's, however that may not be to bad to be stuck at. I must admit that was certainly a fun time in my life. Life was much more simple. Wearing Dittos and Vans made you a Hot Chick. Well, I'm sorry to say, The Dittos no longer come in my size, and thank God for that! But the Vans have Never left my feet.
So with that said, I hope you enjoy my blog.
