Cole Haan Sandals

Notably, now Nordstrom Rack has a online store.   They have free shipping over $100 with the code Holiday10.

I picked these up a bit ago but saw they're available online too.  I also got some awesome Steve Maddens' for $29.00.  yesss.

Callaway incident

I went to Costco.com for some reason (can't remember why) and all of a sudden I saw a Christmas gift for myself jump off the page! 

Can't wait to try them out.  Costco has them for $300.00 less than what it's selling for elsewhere.  Hope they're good...

Christmas Cards with tea samples made with cricut, stamps, stickers, embellishments and rub ons.

Used Cricut Design studio to cut out circle for inner rectangle to put tea in.  Other embellishments are rub ons or stickers or metal embellishments.  I used Cricut tags/bags/ etc to make pull tabs.

Michael Michael Kors "Robertson", Nordy's Rack incident...

Incident.  There are super hot.  Can you see the zipper on the front?  Gold accents on side between black straps.  And, extra bonus, they match my MK purse.  Yess.  Except one thing.  There is a blizzard outside today.  At least 6 inches outside, so I will not be wearing these today. 
I should have bought a snowblower.  Sacrifices.

Should I get this for my mom for Christmas? Any ideas? She wants one but I am still not sure.

kinect x box 360?

Yes.  And I never want to leave the house again, just like that.

It is like the wii, but 10x better.  It's not perfect, and I need to clear some more space in my crafty/gamer/mess living room, but it is awesome.  Thank you Costco for the impulse buy.
It even takes pics of you while you play and you can laugh at your action shots.  Hysterical.  I then got the free trial of netflix so I could see if streaming movies really works. It does.  Which brings me to the next toy:

The Verizon mifi.  Your own little hotspot.  It is powering my computer right now, and also my xbox for internet/streaming.  I am a lucky gal, and got the unlimited service from Verizon back in the day. I hear this is a problem now with the new plans, but I am luckily for now able to use it for all of this at home!  I am addicted.  It is also cool to take on the road with my laptop mini, works great.  Mobile office!

More shoes. And outfits. I have an online shopping disorder...

I got these too... 

Shopping incident.  Cause I am really going where in these???  But they're mine, all mine.  They look awesome with jeans.

These are some hot Stuart Weitzman's I picked up awhile ago on 6pm.com.

And these....  Michael Michael Kors.  Nice grips on the bottom, and good to wear to shows.  I wore with ankle leggings and skull & bunny black mini skirt.
Here's  pics of the Citizens of Humanity Skull and bunny, and Juicy hoodie I wore it with.

Thanksgiving card idea

Again used the Cricut to cut out a long rectangle (double card length) that folded in the middle (top of inside brown pouch).  The Cricut was used to cut the hole to put in the tea sample from the republic of Tea, one of my favorite tea brands. http://www.republicofftea.com/  Get the sampler cube for 24.

So glue down the tea with a glue dot, then glue around the inside edges of the brown inside "card".  You can embellish with a ribbon or "tag" from Cricut bags tags boxes so it has a "pull tag". You are then done with the inside of the pouch.

Then make the outside pouch by cutting 1/2 inch wider than the inner pouch.  If you're going to send it, make sure it will fit in the envelope.  It willl also be a long rectangle that you fold in half, then fold  a bit of the front down to make your pouch.  Staple on each side (glue does not hold as well to make pocket).  You can then stamp front flap (by masking) and embellish with a strip of leftover paper from the inner pocket.

Nordy's Rack

So I went to Nordy's Rack, my fav place to pick up shoes and handbags.  I was really looking for more Cole Haan shoes, but ended up picking up a Michael Michael Kors Purse and Guess shoes to match.  The black grommets are kind of dated on the shoes, but they looked so hot with the purse, I had to do it.

 

 

Newest stuff.

This is all about stuff I find cool.

Today I etched glass using my cricut.  I cut out vinyl, then used as a stencil.  I also used the middle part on other glass to do an outline shape. 

I then dabbed on Fiesta Ink (made by Jacquard) on the etched part to dye it.  Rubbed excess off with a damp paper towel. 
Crafty awesomeness.
