but now i am found! Hopefully be able to post tonight. I am going to sit in bed, with my new birthday present...and answer all the questions from the last RVA chats that I have missed.
I am starting to feel under the weather, so trying to nip it before the weekend!
Hope everyone is doing good and I promise I will be back! Pictures and everything!

Chat Questions...
Ok, here is the next addition from chat questions, cause I missed another chat!
-favorite kind of muffin? Strawberry with big sugar crystals from this amazing bakery!
-how do you store your clear stamps? no clear stamps ribbons?usually just throw them in a drawer
-what/who motivates you the most? Being around fun exciting, crafty friends and music
-favorite smells? like candle smell... the smell right before it rains and wet dirt
-favorite thing to do on a sunday afternoon? catch up on blogs or watch a movie
-file or clip your nails? bite...horrible habit
-if you have a time machine, which era would you go back to? I would go back to the 1920's, right before money really started to take over the country. Where people lived in small towns and got everything at the local drug store. Where families grew most of their food or traded other goods for stuff they needed. Where hard work meant tending to the families land.
-if you could befriend one person (famous or otherwise) who would they be, and what circumstance would you like to 'bump' into them? Drew Barrymore. I think she has always been a strong female in society. She has her own production business and seems so down to earth. We would run into each other at a knitting class and totally become great friends.
-How do you keep track of all your inspiration? And how do you all stay so motivated to be so creative? I have a pendy folder for stuff from magazines, mail, catalogs and any other random items that catch my eye. For the items on the computer, I use delicious tagging system and tag them with inspiration. If I come across a random picture, I put it in a folder that says "Inspiration" and try to put the title and artist. So when I feel I need a little pick me up...I can remember what I like.
-What is everyone's favorite cake flavor? Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
-favorite book? Tuesday's with Morrie, by Mitch Albom
-heels or no heels? no heels, although I think they are cute, they kill my feet.
-mac or pc? both...just got a new mac for my birthday...pics to come soon.
-what did you have for din? I went with a friend last night to Chuy's, a yummy mexican restaurant.
-any new inspirations or photos you are getting creative juices from? everyone's blogs on RVA, catalogs and new store layouts for the spring.
-favorite blog of the moment, RVA of course!! Elsie's and LA's
-favorite moment of spring so far? the rain. i love the rain in the spring, cause it is not freezing cold rain and it makes all the wild flowers here bloom faster
-any big craft plan you want to tackle in the next 2 months? My first art show next month...getting that finished and finish a painting.
-breakfast, lunch, or dinner? brinner :) I love pancakes and french toast with hashbrowns and sour dough toast with strawberry jelly...mmm
-fav movie of all time? Empire Records and Sixteen Candles
-what do you all do for work outside of crafting? I am a assistant to the VP of Customer Service. I want to go back to school to become a Montessori Elementary Teacher.
And a little love from one of my favorite artists that make me smile!

My mom does charcoal drawings. She doesn't do too many now...even though I wish she would! Mostly Native Americans...maybe I can round up some images. My grandmother used to always do crafts with me when I was little. I remember making pom pom animals and crocheting!

holy big post batman!!
First off...hope everyone had a great weekend! Mine was a busy, inspiring one! Yesterday was bit of a rough day and this was supposed to be uploaded yesterday. I had an endoscopy to check for ulcers in my stomach...but there was none!! So yay! But I was totally out of it all day yesterday and the nurse suggested to not use the internet...which was slightly funny. They didn't want me to do any online purchases or transactions. Apparently it would affect my senses to make decisions...LOL!!
I have finished a few of my projects from Elsie and Rachel's class...finally!
My teepee's! I sewed the backs...which was a little scary, but had a lot of fun doing the had stitching and hope to make some more soon!!
My felt wall art. Charlie is the Xbox controller...cause that is what he loves and well I am the camera. I love the way the camera turned out and love the colors! My heart in the middle didn't work out as good as I was hoping, so I need to work on my filling skills.
I tried stitching lettering. It isn't centered very much, but hey you get the point :) This picture is 3 years old...wow!! 
This is a picture that I have taken a while ago. It will probably be in my Etsy shop soon. 
This is a cool phone that I found while yard saling on Saturday. I love the color and Kaitlyn was definately digging it! I don't really have a place to put it yet, but hopefully will get some more shelves for the fun stuff I find. 
I started playing around with my sewing machine on Saturday and made this felt bracelet for Kaitlyn with some left over scraps, a vintage button and a felt cupcake that I came up with. I think she liked it...for about 10 min and then she was over it. I think she liked pushing the pedal more than the bracelet.
Kaitly's First Soccer Game - They lost 3-2, but I think the 6 year old girls liked the cheer they did and the time out pep talks better than chasing after a soccer ball. She was so tired that night, that she went and got her pajamas on by herself and said she was going to bed. It was funny, but at least she is exhausting herself!
Ok, the pictures below are for everyone following the 365! Specifically Janel who sent me a message yesterday in regards :)
March 2nd...mmm...cupcakes!!
