It's now or never...

...well, I guess I can't procrastinate any longer. I've been a little nervous about doing this, but like the title says, it's now or never!

I opened my Etsy shop and there are some items now posted.

My very first GRAND OPENING! Yay ME!

CURRENT MOOD: CURRENTLY LISTENING TO: NOTHING

So exhausted...

...I was very good today! Monday's are usually my gym days and that usually means from the moment I wake up, I'm trying to think of all the excuses for me NOT to go, that would fly with my Tammy, coworker. (We have a buddy system going and since she's really into going to the gym, I demanded that she MAKE me go with her - which she REALLY does and I usually have to be veeery creative in the excuses I come up with). Anyways, Tammy wasn't able to go to the gym tonight and I was like, 'Yes! Free evening for meeee!' But you know what? I went anyways! So good for me...I feel skinny already...

Now onto the point, I got home and went straight into the scraproom to get going with my new little babies! Can I tell you that The Mister got home from class and found me in my room with my jacket and my running shoes still on?! HAHAHAHA, three and a half hours after I got home, I was so focused I didn't bother doing anything else. The Mister leans against the door and he's all like, 'Gonna stay awhile, or are you heading back out?' Meh, what does he know...

I want to talk about my little creations some more, but I'm completely wiped from staring so intently at them...I had to get down really close and I think I'm almost going cross eyed from looking at the little pieces for so long...LOL. So here you are, if you're like my you're just loco for photos anyways...

Lucy in the Sky So Blue	Big Purple Dinosaur
Teal My Heart Away	Vivacious Violet
Rose of Sharon	Vivacious Violet
Lovely Lavender	Just Peachy
Seafoam Bridesmaids	Black Humbugs
Blue Bayou	Mellow Yellow
Candy Floss Pink	Galactic Grape

...and I hate to do it, but I guess I will also mention that for the most part, as far as I know, the names (JewelPops, SugarPops, etc. and the packaging) are copyrighted to me.

Sorry I'm not posting more talk...just very tired and I've been promising The Mister I'd come to bed in like, five minutes - and that was an hour ago...

CURRENT MOOD: CURRENTLY LISTENING TO: NOT A WHOLE LOT

Introducing...

...Sugar and Scraps - my new Etsy store! *cheerleader herky* Yaaaay...ME!

As you already know, the micro beads have been a recent success on the boards and I've been having a fabulous time altering them and making them even prettier! I tried a little bit of this and that and got:

I got to use my Sakura Stardust and Metallic gelly rolls on the beads and I coloured them in full, dotted them and swirled them. I'd like to you to meet SwirlyPops, SwissPops and SolidPops. They used to have the name Skittles instead of Pops, but you know, since I don't really own that name, I thought I'd better bite the bullet and find a new one already. Pops courtesy of Nicole! I was having some problems with these, because even after they looked dry, once I tried to pick them up, the pretty much stuck to my finger. I'm working on a different alternative to make these possible and will hopefully have some pictures to show for them tomorrow!

But without further ado, my new pretty little babies:

Is it bad that I am COMPLETELY, and I mean COMPLETELY in love with these? Guest, please meet SugarPops, SugarPops, meet lovely guests. Now that I've got a bit of a system going, they're taking about twenty minutes to half an hour to make and then to package. I made and printed out the stripey paper all by myself and printed the title from my inkjet.

I haven't listed them on Etsy yet as I was hoping to have a few more on hand in case I actually get any orders.

I am SO excited!
