inspired =]

Dear Munchkins,
Before I begin, let me provide an update! =p Remember when I was talking about how I was walking and a lil birdie did #2...and I was thinking that I would win the lotto...lol...I didn't win =[ I was thinking maybe I would have won since they always say that if you get hit by birdie doodoo, you'll have good luck...lol I realized it's not a guarantee...I guess my luck was that, I had an amazing massage lol and that I got home safely =]

One again, the days have been really busy! I'm always tired but I want to enjoy every minute of summer! The other day I was looking at fashion blogs and was truly inspired by Marisa's "New Dress A Day" http://newdressaday.wordpress.com/ (it is definetely worth the check!) Marissa had created this amazing blog where she takes an outfit that she bought for a $1 and uses her creative and sewing skills to revamp it...she had decided that she would buy clothing worth $365 that would produce an outfit a day for 365 days! It is such a stellar concept as Marisa shares before and after photos! I am truly inspired and have decided to set some direction in my blog and share or create someting each day for a year...

Day 1 of Creativity

These are cards made from scrap paper and lavender card stock =]

something epic...

Little bobby pin barrettes I made =]

Dear Peeps

I've been looking at so many blogs...I'm a little bit of a curious George...it's interesting to see what others around the world are thinking, what they're up to and what they're creating...Some bloggers vent, share their thoughts, feelings, dreams, hopes, aspirations, battles and their creative works, whether it be drawings, photography, fashion, music, scrapbooking etc...I'm trying to figure out what I should post...then I realize why I really decided to start this blog...for me and not anyone else...sometimes I wonder if bloggers are just posting for the sake of getting peep's attention or to just share their works in hopes that someone will notice..at first I think I was trying to show peeps the cards I was making in hopes that peeps will notice...although I'm addressing my postings by Dear _______ I am still blogging for my self lol...just want to work through my thoughts and inspire my own creativity....I love to write, although I'm not greatest as I tend to go on and on...often with no direction...I thought I would write something profound today...something epic! Unfortunately I have brain freeze right now....grrrrrr....I think I'm gonna sleep now....lol...maybe tomorrow will be an epic post =)

Peace and Love,
Carezza

Birthday shoutout to Gee Gee's 29th!

Wish I took more photos =/ I was having too much fun <3

back to the grind

Dear __________ (your name)

The days of summer have been flying! Had a great weekend with the future in-laws in cottage country...swimming, fishing, canooing, eating, and laughing of course! Now it's back to the grind =[ I am so glad I took the monday off to recuperate...although it's not much of a recuperation when I'm trying to catch up with my never ending to do list! The fiance and I are both off so we are going to try to do some more wedding planning...ggrrrrr,,,,,how do people do it? lol we are trying to have a low budget wedding and yet have a wedding that screams, " T.j & Carezza" speaking of grind, gotta get moving =]

<3
Carezza

p.s will be posting some of my cottage country photos

crazy day!

Dear Munchkins,
Today was a bit of a crazy day....I always hear that things happen for a reason....lol I wonder what today's events mean and in the grand scheme of things, what is the reason for today? I was on my way to work, walking, and thinking how my day will go...as I'm crossing the street, I see a cab turning right towards me! I am more than half way across the street when he is coming right at me, I hit his car and he still didnt stop and i did this grand jump to move out of the way and he ends up hitting my lunch bag...my yogurt and full size cucumber flew out of my bag...I yelled at him...I was like "What's wrong with you?"....and in hindsight I'm like what's wrong with me? I should have yelled FFFFFFFFFFFFF UUUUUUU!!! The cabbie just waved...wut the effage!! Then this man who saw what happened said I should call Beck's Cab Company and report that cabbie #68 practically ran me over....I was shaking and couldn't call at the moment. I slowly picked up my cucumber and yogurt and continued on to work...I wrote an e-mail complaint and will e-mail again tomorrow...

As I continue walking...I tripped and almost fell! Not a good thing when I'm wearing a short dress with no tights and carrying 3 bags! lol

My friend, Fatz (I know, some peeps might find that calling my friend Fatz is rude...but her name is Fatima and she doesn't mind that I call her Fatz)..were talking about how we don't like to be around birds because they might do #2 on us. As we were walking towards an urban oasis for our long awaited massages, I felt something wet and hot on my arm....I was passing a tree and a bird that was perched on a branch had decided to do #2 and white ish landed on my arm!...wat the effage...as a result, Fatz had asked me to buy her a lotto ticket...i bought us both lotto tickets! I really hope that the reason all these things happen is so that we could win the lotto!


THEN....after dinner, I went to the washroom and did #1....I flushed the toilet and got splashed on all over my legs!!!!!!!! shhhooootttt! what an effing day right? lol....although it was, I'm actually quite happy as I am now home safely and totally relaxed...the massage I had was amazing! I know I will sleep nicely tonight *yawn*

lol on that note, I'm out like a light....

p.s I am posting some of the stuff I did =]

everyone is creative in their own way =]

Dear Hunbunz,
This week has been passing by so quickly! The weekend is almost here =] Finallement! Today was a great day and I've decided to take the time to share some photos about what's been going on in my life....

Wishing you all a happy Wednesday,
Carezza

p.s if you are in Toronto don't go to Pizza Pizza for the $5.00 Large Pizza coupon, they will not honour it as they claim it is fake! lol

"Making time is a craft worth learning"

Dear lovelies,
It has been a while since I last posted once again. I have many thoughts and photos that I would love to share. I'm at a point right now where I feel like I need to start fresh again or have a blank canvas. If I were to create a post right now with all my thoughts and photos, it would take months to catch up!
In my previous posts, I mentioned that I wouldn't purchase any clothing until after I get married (September 17, 2011) and so far I've kept my promise to myself and it has been working out! =] It is crazy how much clothing I actually have! I am truly blessed and thankful for everything! My lil sissy thinks I'm "ghetto" for not buying clothes for over a year but I feel good about what I'm doing...although it is tempting at times to buy something especially if it's on sale, I can easily refrain from purchasing a clothing item. I am determined to use what I already have.
I've been browsing through so many blogs and it has been a wonderful experience...I love looking at creative and inspiring blogs =] I sometimes wonder if peeps actually stop by mine! lol....I kinda like being a pea in the pod or more like a needle in a haystack...
This past month has been so busy! One of my good friends lil kim, had her Dirty 30 Bday weekend celebration =)
Day 1- Mani and Pedis all round and Dinner...my friend actually treated all 8 of us for a mani and pedi...she refused to take our $$$!
Day 2-Dinner and then dancing the night away and getting home at 4 am
Day 3-Church, dim sum and grocery shopping
teheheheh and now itz a chillen sunday =] Trying to recuperate for another busy week!

looking forward to posting more thoughts....

Peace & Luv,
Carezza
