For anyone who knows where the title of this post is from, good for you! :) I recently discovered Crowdrise, an online fundraising website. You can sign up, create your own pages to raise money for charities of your choosing, or join a team already in progress of reaching a charity goal.
I joined the movement for To Write Love On Her Arms (TWLOHA). I've known about TWLOHA for a few years now, and fully support what they are striving to achieve. They're raising awareness for people suffering from depression, self-injury, addiction, and suicide. They're campaign slogan is "Love is the Movement"... which is the best way to describe what needs to happen. So many people feel that they are alone in this world, and what they need is to know that they are loved.
My own mantra (adapted from the TWLOHA movement) is "Love and be Loved" which is pretty strong. We all know people suffering, and we're all in this together. I've joined the movement, and would love to help raise awareness with anyone and everyone's help.
If you are able, and if this moved you, or at least intrigued you, I urge you to visit my fundraising page here:

There are tons of projects, charities, and groups raising money for any and every cause on this site! Do what moves you...
The more we know, the better we are. We can make a difference, we just need to do it together.

Mercy Me! It's Been Far Too Long!
I feel like it's becoming a trend... not posting very often! Shame on me! This time, I promise I have a good excuse!
June 21st I left to backpack through Europe for a little over a month with my best friend!
We started in Ireland, headed to Scotland, England, Netherlands, France, Italy. It was amazing :)
Needless to say, I saw plenty of phenomenal sites, and met a ton of great people from all over the world! It was the experience of a lifetime and I'm very happy that I did it.
That being said... my Etsy shop is back up and running, as well as my bookswap on Goodreads.
I can promise you that I have many new ideas in my mind for crafts, and will be posting ideas shortly! I have recycled picture frame ideas, new jewelry and hair ideas as well! So be on the look out for a tutorial for picture frames, and new items popping up on Etsy! I start back serving at the bar this weekend, too, so I hope I can start posting more often again!
Enjoy the night, and I shall entertain you all yet again quite soon :)

I've Been Gone Awhile, Again...
Agh! I've done it again! I haven't updated in an extremely long time! I've been planning out some craziness that's about to happen in my life. Starting next Tuesday, June 21st... I will be backpacking through Europe with my best friend :) Ireland, Scotland, England, The Netherlands, Belgium, France, and Italy. In lieu of my departure... I have a coupon code for my Etsy shop.
Use ACCESSORIZE10 during checkout for 10% off your purchase... I also have a free gift with purchase this week, so help yourself and tell your friends! In case you've forgotten some of my spring/summertime accessories, here's a little reminder :)
There's many more items to check out, as well as a SALE section. This may seem like a fast way to get a little extra spending cash for Europe, or a way to clean out my room so new items can come in once I'm back... and that's exactly what it is! :) I'm hoping to get new inspiration for jewelry and hair accessories while I'm gone, so I have some great things to show everyone upon my return to the United States!
Enjoy the day, it's going to be a good one!

It's Been So Long...
Sorry it's been so long on an update! I've been making spring accessories (as promised) and also planning a backpacking trip through Europe! My best friend and I booked our flights last night, so I've been in a frenzy trying to pin down some other reservations :) Very exciting...
We'll be flying in and out of Dublin, and the tentative plan is to get to Scotland, England, Amsterdam, France, Germany, Italy. We have 28 full days, with 2 days for flying. If anyone reading this is from one of those countries, any insight into what we really should see would be phenomenal! :)
All right, enough about those summer plans, and onto what's new in my Etsy. Click on captions to see more pictures of each!
So, those are some of my newly listed items :) It's been great fun making them and even seeing them around right now is fun! I do have a May promotion going on in my shop, and I'm thinking about having a promo in June as well, before I leave for my backpacking trip.
Hopefully my next post will be more exciting :) Love you all.... Happy Hump Day!

Mas Spring Cleaning, Por Favor!
HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO! In lieu of an exciting day (complete with sunshine) I decided to be a little productive on Etsy. I've added a promotion to my Etsy shop for the month of May. Any purchase made from my shop in May will come with a free handmade gift (also made by me!) It can be just about anything! I'll make sure that it fits in with the theme/color palette of what was purchased, but it will be fabulous, I promise.
I've also added a SALE section to my shop. I've been making so many things (that I haven't added yet) for spring, so I decided to try to move some of my other items by lowering the prices of 16 things! Necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc!! Here's some of what is on sale:
Feel free to check out my SALE section here! I'll be adding new items soon! I just need to take some pictures, but I did make some rings, hair combs, and headbands today! Just in time for spring! Warm weather, cute warm-weather clothes, colorful accessories... I really can't wait! Happy Happy Thursday to all!
