In honor of my new CUTE hair-cut...

So, I HATE doing my hair! I hate drying it and I hate messing with it.

I mean, seriously, look at it... Who do I think I am with that LONG hair...

CRYSTAL GAYLE?

I just couldn't take it anymore, the 50 gallon drums of shampoo, the 17 hours of drying it every morning, the flat iron... You can see how a girl could loose it!

So, now I look like this

except not that great nose, the pink fur, the green eyes or the blond part... but other than that, TRY to tell us apart!!

so the self portrait may not be the most flattering way to post one's picture, but you know how I am...
Anyway, back to what I REALLY was talking about...
CUTE!
I've got a cute little collection of goodies from etsy, the shop name is BELOW the photo's

hair clip by: applenoggin

contact case all blinged out by: svajewelry

hello CUTE!! this is from: SouZouCreations

Mmmm-Love these little cookies by: shelikescute

and how stinkin' cute is this pear? by: janiexy

and...

polymer clay fawn pendants by yours truly: chinamommy

Oh my gosh... is this cute, or what?

I'm trying to flood my brain with inspiration and for me, it's by looking at CUTE stuff!!

So check out this CUTE stuff!

glitzy octo earrings by anthropology 

this ADORABLE bicycle built for two by Jenni Horne

I'm in love with bike prints, you can find tons of cute examples on etsy too!

Helen Dardik... always love everything she does! Is this sweet treat picture the cutest ever?

I swear everything she does is magical to me.  Can you imagine your mom making invites to your birthday that look like this?

and this is from Urban Outfitters:

I would love this for my desk, so me!!

These stamps are from Stampin' Up.  Stamps.... so addictive!!

and this... 

I guess because it's PINK it gets to go in the "cute" category (and the sparkly and the glitzy and the EXPEN$IVE category... at $32,999.99, I'll take 2!).

and then this... this gets my #1 Cute vote for today-

Eeeek, I seriously screamed when I saw it!  I've been begging the Mister on a daily basis to build one in the back yard!!  He didn't say "no"... so I'm going to start hand cutting wood shingles for the roof!  I wonder if I can use my cricut?!

Have a GREAT day!!

ok, before I forget: I DO read all your comments (and LOVE them) and I always respond to them, the problem: I respond in my head!  I always wonder if people come back to see if I've responded to their comments- which I sometimes do... but I'm curious: IF you comment, do you come back to see if I said anything?  Just curious... 

and:

a little plug about my BABY HAT DRIVE 

As most of you know, my daughter was adopted from China and I left a little piece of my heart there.  I'm collecting hats to keep the children and babies warm in the winter.  Many live in orphanages that are without heat.

1. make a baby hat, toddler hat, or kid sized hat (you can take the non-crafty way out and buy one if you must)

2. email me at: chinamommy_04@yahoo.com for my address.

3. I'll take care of shipping them to CHINA next fall (I'm shooting for a Sept deadline).

any questions- please feel free to email me!!

Cute gifts...

Believe it or not, I (yes, ME!) was afraid of what that video might bring in so I'm going to follow it up with some cute stuff from Vat19... do you know of this site?

All kinds of cute, weird, unusual gift items...

This GIANT gummy bear only has 12,600 calories so grab 2! haha!  It equals 1,400 regular gummy bears!  My daughter would LOVE this!  If you're not sure you want to go that big, try this one on a stick!

only 88 X's bigger than a regular gummy!

fish soap 

fortune cookie soap

swizzle sticks with mini drinks- cute, hun?!

mini erasers!  I LOVE these and always have- I still have a large stash of Sanrio erasers from when I was a kid!  Darling daughter got a set of mini cake erasers in her Christmas stocking- I found them at Walgreens.  I just saw a bunch of them at JoAnn's yesterday too, if you're looking!

scented pencils... I want these!!  Why?  I don't know, it's not like I write with a pencil very often, but they smell like COTTON CANDY (and other good stuff!).  Thank goodness I have a 6 year old- that gives me a good excuse to buy things like this and Domo dressed as an Easter bunny...remember him from last year?

Also a cool site I found through Strawberry Anarchy's blog

Jellio

this is an ice cream bench by jellio too

can't you see it in your front entry?!  If you're interested, get out your check book because this stuff is EXPENSIVE!!

they've also got a gummy bear chandelier to hang above your ice cream bench!!

Well, I hope all these cute gifts will make up for that video :)  I also am afraid what my little ad thing at the top might start advertising if I don't blog "over" that last post!!

Maybe I should end this post with the following key words...

cute, gifts, gummy bears, scrapbooking, kawaii, jewelry, fashion and all things Hello Kitty!

 Tonight we have a family night for all the kids going to the new school around the corner from our home.  It will open next year for Darlings 2nd grade class.  A school around the corner works SO much better for a mom like me... you know, the one that remembers her glasses aren't on her face 2 hours after she's left for school!  But then again, why isn't SHE remembering her glasses!?

 Have a great Thursday, i'm going to try and accomplish something today...maybe!

Oh my cuteness...

Wasn't real sure what I was going to post about so I started browsing the web & holy cuteness, it was EVERYWHERE!!  Must be a sign...

Oh yeah, olliegraphic has a store (by that name) on etsy, go there for ALL kinds of downloadable personalized cards & stationary items!  She's so nice to work with & has the cutest stuff!  I had her do our Christmas card this year & was in LOVE!

these are 2 of her etsy items:

then... this is what I've been working on:

**little fawn pendants**

what do you think?

I've had this idea for a long time- to make pendants out of fimo clay, that's what I came up with!

Ok, I've got a sick girl home and am going to bleach her and everything else down!

Happy Tuesday friends!!  

Oops... i forgot!

I don't know how I could forget this:
