Changes Changes Changes!

So everything changes.  The seasons change, life changes, jobs change.  It all changes.  I have gone threw many changes over the year. 
Last month I had found myself a boyfriend.  One that was the total opposite of what my Husband was.  Well that didnt work out.  I did all that hard work on those valentine creations for nothing.  I got dumped the next day.  :(
Oh well it happens right. 
Well a guy i wanted to date for 3 months said he wanted to be with me.  I wasnt totally sure what he meant so i asked him.  Well then he too changed his mind because it freeked him out.  He didnt elaborate on that. :(
he thought i was being pushy. 
So i ended up alone on Valentines Day!.  Just me and me alone. 

Okay so a week goes by and Mitch the guy that dumped me said he made a mistake and wanted to try again.  Well i figure what the heck i'll go for it.  worst that can happen is he dump me again.  LOL!  Well then the day after i say yes to that.  Micheal the one i wanted to date 3 months ago comes to me and says i want you to be my girlfriend.  AAAAHHHHHH!  WHAT TO DO!!!

well i was way to honest in all of this to both guys.  Mitch turns around 3 days after telling me he was falling in love with me, told me to go and just be with the other guy.  GRRR! 

Worked out for the best i guess.  because everytime i wasnt around Mitch i was always thinking of Michael.  Im thinking my heart wanted to be with Mcheal.  Afterall had Micheal not got freeked out a few weeks ago Mitch wouldnt have been able to have that second chance. 

So my first day of being Single again before i told Micheal i would be his girlfriend.  He came and Picked me up from work.  Now this is the good part.  Michael drives a Volkswagon Bug and NEVER drirves in snowy, icy weather.  So He drove in the worst nasty possible weather for his car the night we had our big snow storm to come get me from work just to ask me personally to be his girlfriend and he handed me a single red rose and said i am sorry for all the trouble i've caused over the past few weeks. 

awww i think i got me a sweetheart.

Valentine Creations!!!!

 So this is the valentine card i made for my new sweet heart.  On the inside i stamped "Too much of a good thing is a GOOD THING!"

 

This is the box cover i made for his box of Turtles candies i got for him.

this is the coupon book cover i made.  isnt it just so cute.

Here is a lil box i made with a window and i added a few peanut butter candies to the inside.  here is the tutorial on how to make it. Box Tutorial hope you have fun with it.

Time Flies!!!!

Wow where does the time go.  Seems as though yesterday I was having my life turned upside down because of upsetting news from my husband. 

I had some wonderful cards sent to me by the Tuesday Teapot chanllengers.  They were all awsome cards and awsome ladies for going out of thier way to send me some cards to cheer me up.  I will post some pics later.

Well 7 months later.  I am still living at my parents.  Had some luck on the job aspect.  I was working threw a temp agency for a company called Sturms packaging dry foods.  That was pretty steady for 3 months.  then it droped to occaisionally going in.  Thats okay though.

I had a few strike outs on some dates.  However i didnt let it get me down because my goal was to stay single for 6 months and let a relationship come naturally with me.

So here is the rest of my update.  December 19th.  Divorice Finallized.  Febuary 7th got myself a wonderful boyfriend.  Still living at my parents though.

As for the boyfriend well he has his own apartment and his own 3 kids to go with it.  So looks like i get a whole package and wont have to worry about the issue of me wanting kids and it not being able to happen like i want it to.  :)  And the kids already met me and told their dad they approve.  They are young though.  the youngest one is a boy and he is 4  the older 2 are girls and are 5 and 6.  if my memory is correct. 

So life is treating me good and i am getting back into the crafting habbit starting off with handmade valentines for Mitch and his kids.  However lost my mojo over these past few months.

Hi Everyone! its time to move on to bigger and better things.

So its been almost a month since I've posted.  Last post was about my crazy neighbor and my husbands health.  Well that's an understatement.

I've been threw quite a few changes over the last month.

#1.  My husband decided to walk out on my tell me it was for a break and it turned out to be permanent.

#2.  Lost my job over my panic attacks

#3.  Husband told me July 4th to make alternative arrangements for myself.  That was his wonderful way of telling me he wanted it over.

#4.  I had to move back into my parents.

#5. Husband wasn't talking to me as to what he wanted regaurding us and our marriage so I took control and decided to file on my own for a divorice.

#6. In the process of it all I have learned that my decision is for the best.  I have learned that the whole 1 1/2 years i was married to him was a total lie.  He's gone behind my back on quite a few things that i cant mention here. 

#7. 3 weeks after he walks out and abandoned me i find that he is dating his best friends WIFE.  Yep he stole his best friends girl.  and that is one of the main reasons he left.  I know it doesn't happen overnight like he claims.

#8. I found out most of our marriage he has been cheating on me and lieing to me about lots of things.

I've dealt with it pretty good considering things.  the doc changed my anxiety meds and the panic attacks have stopped for now.  I feel he was the main cause of them to begin with now. 
The funny thing is the first week he was gone it was one day he wanted it over and then the next day its we can work it out.  and i got sick of the back and fourth.  The even stranger part is that 2 days prior to me finding out he was in love with his best friends wife he was trying to make things work with me and telling me that the marriage fell apart because of him.  And that we should do counseling more for me than anything cuz i need it more, and that he's been faithful to me the entire time. 

Now with all that i know I have a very hard time believing the being faithful part cuz you don't just fall in love with someone in 2 days.  when her husband has told me that they made out weeks ago.  and when i looked on the calender it turned out to be right around the time he had walked out on me.  So I am trusting my gut instinct and making decisions to control my life, and he will NO MORE CONTROL ME.

No more covering with my family for the crappy things he's done to me, or the way he treated me.  No more listening to him complain about my family and just being overall treated like i am last on his list of priories. 

Time to move on.

Sorry everyone! and news on critters!

I want to apologize for not posting as much. 

My husband has recently found out due to a genetic kidney disease his right kidney is shutting down and his left one is severly stressed.  we go to see the nephrologist on the 15th this month and will know more on what is going to happen. 

i have also been apartment hunting as we want to get away from the crazy neighbor that has been threatening us as the law enforcement wont do nothing about it. (thats a long story)  short version.  I asked her to clean up after dog peeing in the hallway and she blew up at me threating to beat me up and what not.  I make a report about it as i dont feel comfortable in my own apartment building now and she admits to 3/4 of my report but because she didnt admit to the threatening part they didnt even give her a disorderly conduct ticket even though law states she should have as she was causing a seen.  Funny thing was the neighbors that seen me telling her to get out of my face told the officer i was the one that told her to watch her back.  and SHE was the one that ran from the officer when the called for her as she was walking into the apartment building.  Yeah if thats not guilty i dont know what it. 


As for our critters.  Well we will be one less critter shorter as far as furry creaters go.  we are getting rid of our ferret tomarrow.  However we've gained a few snakes and a few rats.  I hope they dont prevent us from getting a new apartment. 


We've gained 1 male and 1 female hairless rat.  hopefully to become breeders. 
1 albino burmese python
1 spider ball python
1 albino lavender king snake
and a few more male and females ball pythons.

A few days ago my husband was snake hunting and came across a baby goose.  Well this goose was all by itself lonely sitting next to its baby brother who had died.  Their mom was no where to be seen.  I didnt find all this out til i came home from work and i go walking into my husbands snake room and see it sitting in a 10gal tank with some water in a dish.  I asked him what the heck was goin on, he joking around told me snake food.  Then told me the real story.  He didnt want it having the same fate as his lil bro, so he brought it home in hopes to relocate it with another goose family.  We live right next to a river that has ducks there all the time, so he went and looked and their was a family of geese, and he set the lil goose down and he ran all the way up to this lil family and did some sniffing like dogs do or what ever geese to do introduce themselves and next thing you know they all wonder off into the water together.  So having this lil guy run around my house for a few hours was pretty fun, but boy are they messy creatures.  LOL!

Last night our friend who breed rats for us came over and gave us the female rat we are going to use in breeding.  Well after she was handling it she did not put lotion on and then her neice that was with was playing with the albino burmese, and we've never had a problem before and he's never struck at anyone not even me and i dont handle snakes that often. 
Well within a split second he must have sensed rats or something because she turned and snaped on her and latched on to her wrist and started trying to coil up like he does when they feed.  it took her niece holding the tail my hubby and his strength to keep it from coiling and then me taking a small pen to pry open the mouth and then put some paper towel between her and the snake to get it to release. 
One of the mistaken identy cases.  No damage just a lil bleeding and a few teeth marks on the wrist.  a lil peroxide to wash it out and she was good to go. 
Then i woke up this morning to go to work and find that our spider ball python was out and decided he wanted to explore the apartment.  (i really wish the hubby would keep weights on the tanks.  I hate having to tear that room apart to find them, and its to hot to want to do that now).

As for our dogs well Our mini daschund keeps going into heat, and boy does my chihuahua go nuts. yes we want some lil chiweenies to sell, however my Tootsie(chihuahua) would rather go for her Head and as my hubby calls it Tea-bag her than go for the right end.  Well the other night i thought it would be nice to assist and point the right end in his direction.  Well he started.  the 1st time he was energizer bunny until she snipped at him and ran away.  Well 2nd time was fine and then all of a sudden the were stuck together and Butt to Butt.  Yes one of them got spooked and Tootsie frooze up.  We had no idea what to do, so at 3am we tried calling whoever we could to find out what to do.  As soon as the hubby got the Emergency Vet and they were telling us to just let them be Tootsie jerked and yanked and they were loose.  POOR Lovey, she wasnt too happy after that she ran and hid.   However the next day Tootsie was right back at it with the Head humping again.  All our friends that come over and has never seen a dog do that laugh cuz it is kinda hilarious to a point.  I try to tell him to give her a break but he doesnt let up.  lately i've had to kennel him just to get him to stop.  then its whine wine wine.  LOL!

So we've have qutie the eventful houseful over the past month. 

I will be sad to see my ferret go, however with possibley moving we are trying to reduce the number of pets, so hopefully we'll hear some news on a few of the snakes getting rehomed as well.  The husband loves rescuing them and finding them homes and using them as a breeding project but were getting back up there in numbers again.  so its an all stop on more snakes till were back down to a low number.  :)

Beach Swap.

so its been awhile since i last posted.  Well this card i did for Sam's Beach Themed swap over on Splitcoaststampers.

I cased the card from the Great Impressions Monthly set it came from.

Fairy Element swap.

I Know I haven't had a post recently.  I am negleting my blog.  I don't intentionally do it.  I just havent had anything to post as i am not swapping nearly as much as i used to. 

I did complete a swap that was out of my comfort zone.  Its a "fairy journal element swap."

I usually stick to cards but beacause this was a fairy swap i decided to try it out.  I and found these fairy poppets in my stash of goodies that i have had since probably 2005.  so i diecided to use them. 

then i just did a journal card for another spot with some fairy rub ons.  simple.  And since one of my secret sisters and sent some homeade altered brads with a fairy on them i used them on the journal card.  No letting them sit around collect dust.
