Selling like hot cakes!


I am so happy that my pin up collages are doing well on Etsy! People can't seem to get enough of these retro babes and bombshells! In a time of instant gratification, these demure, modest pictures still have a sexy way of their own all the while still leaving much to the imagination! I love that aspect of the times back then, it wasn't about "baring all" it was giving that perfect dose of sexiness and class but always leaving you wanting more!

Viva La Vida


I just got done watching The Life and Times of Frida Kahlo. I always wanted to know the woman behind the mysterious self portraits. I am so glad I saw it. I was able to learn so much about her life and pain which is portrayed in her paintings. Her story definitly inspired me. I have always been drawn to strong artistic women, and she is just one more that I now deeply admire. Viva La Vida Frida.

Birthday Wishes!


My birthday is coming up .. I can't believe I will be 24! Time has gone by so fast after high school. For this year I am asking for The Sims 3 Late Night! I have been a Sims freak ever since the first game came out. I love video games and PC games, and when I need a break from Dead Space, Final Fantasy, and Call of Duty etc. The Sims is always there to throw me into it's world of hilarity, innocence, and joy. SO I am excited to see what The Sims 3 Late Night has to offer! And if I don't get it for my birthday, I will just have to wait for Christmas! ^_^ ( I realize I sound like a 12 year old boy, but it cannot be helped)

I got my washi ningyo kit yesterday!! I started it at 8pm and finished at around 11:30 pm! I had no idea the time had went by so fast, I had alot of fun making it, although at times it was a bit challenging. It is addictive though! I already want to make another one! I am so proud of my little washi ningyo! I formed her arms into a reaching stance as if she is about to give me a big hug for creating her and bringing her to life! ^_^ I really can't say enough about how much I loved this kit!

Japanese Washi Ningyo


I can't wait for the mail to come!! I ordered a Japanese Washi Ningyo (Japanese Paper Doll) kit! Washi is the type of paper used in making the doll and ningyo means "human figure" in Japanese. I am really excited to embark on my next artistic adventure! I sort of stumbled upon these gorgeous paper dolls while searching for antique geisha dolls. The kit comes with everything you need to make one doll and an instructional DVD. I am so excited!!

I love Goodwill!


Been working hard made two sets of cupcake magnets yesterday! Will post pics later! Going to buy a new camera, mine is about to bite the dust. I got these HOT GaGa-esque shoes at Goodwill for 7 dollars!!! I took these pics with a under 5 dollar lightbox that I made at home! It is really helpful if you want to take professional looking photos! Also went to a community flea market and found some nice vintage jewelry I can fix up for my etsy!
