I was blogged about! And new soap set

I got blogged, and no its not a new word for imbibing alcohol, someone thought I was funny enough to write about me! Pam who has Pass It On Plates blog decided she would be nice and post not only my picture of my soap but the WHOLE listing...cool huh? I guess cause its funny tee hee hee hee Thanks so much Pam! I told you I would blog about you blogging...so now you can blog about me bloggging about you blogging...or maybe it should just die here??



For more humor, I have paired up the weed and the liquor soap for a gloriously hilarious combination. Get your party on!

GET LIQUORED UP AND GET BLAZED UP!
_______________

















For all the 20 somethings that still think its cool to smoke dope and get drunk then wake up the next morning with an incredibly nerdy man in your bed that smells like cheetos. This is for all the teens that think its cool to tell your friends you "got Blazed" with _______ (fill in the blank cool person in da hood) Now you dont have to wreck your body! Just shower with them, save water, conserve the planet, and get close to someone in a way you never thought possible. Putting new meaning to "getting liquored up". Just dont drop that soap buddy!

My dreads now in color


I now have a rainbow of color in my dreads!


I got blue, yellow, red, green...I am one colorful hippie chick now!

I am in awe of how vivid the colors are. I have not had pretty colors in my hair for YEARS! I love this new look.

My "Loc-tician" suggested this idea one day and I went for it. I am all about color, and besides I havent touched my hair in 4 years or more so its time to do something, right?

You can see on her site all the cool stuff she has done to peoples hair.



Now for more pics!























As you can see here I now have rubber bands in my dreads. They had matted up real bad at the roots and I think it was from me wearing my wool dreadband all the time. So she pulled it apart (ouch!) and put in some rubber bands so hopefully it will behave instead of wanting to make one huge dread...thats what it wants to do obviously!

This dread thing is a long journey, and its turning out to be quite an adventure! Hope you guys like the new colors, leave a comment let me know whatcha think! My freak flag is flying high now! LOL

My latest Etsy Shopping Spree

I had to hit up CrankieDoodles again for more shirts for the boys. I am so so amazed at her work, and the boys need shirts anyways so why not buy handmade! I would rather pay her to make us a one of a kind shirt than give wal mart my hard earned money. I feel warm and fuzzy knowing I am helping out a work at home mama, or someone trying to sell their art to help make ends meet. Thats how I roll (smiles)

Tyler got a Cartman on his shirt, and Justin adores Super Mario so I had a Mario put on his shirt. He isnt here to model it so I did LOL




As you can see Tyler is beyond thrilled with his shirt and I am pretty ecstatic over the mario shirt. CrankieDoodles just freaking rocks!

If your in the market for a hand painted one of a kind t shirt hit up crankiedoodles she appreciates the business a bunch. Her work is amazing this is all done by hand guys. I am still in awe. Oh yeah the paint is machine washable and dryable too. A couple of our shirts made their way into the laundry and even with my badass laundry soap there was no cracking or peeling whatsoever! Thats some good paint she uses too! Thanks a bunch for the shirts Miss CrankieDoodles!! MUCH love from all of us!




Maylee LOVES her Brobee handpainted picture we got as a freebie too!



CrankieDoodles just kicks butt! Where else could you get something as cool as a handpainted portrait of brobee?





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also in the mail today I got a package from Potomac River Goods! Justine started making plus size batik Panties, and of course I was ALL over it. I never ever ever buy pretty underthings for myself so I thought I should splurge.

Justine's batik is a work of art, if you remember the sleeper I got from her back in December for Maylee...I look at it and I am still amazed at her skills in dying as well as batik and drawing. I so admire anyone who can draw because I cant do it! LOL

I would have modeled the panties but I would like to keep my readers and subscribers (smiles) so I just held them up for the camera...then Maylee wanted them, I think she knows they match her sleeper with the dragonfly motif.








Maylee soon grew tired of using my new underwear as a bib and handed them back to me.


I will cherish these purty drawers for a LONG time. I love the colors so much! That dragonfly is so detailed its amazing! I kinda wish I was more brazen...art like this shouldnt be hidden under my skirts LOL

So if your looking for some majorly cool panties PLEASE do yourself a favor and check out Justine's work, she is AMAZING! She can also sew like nobodys business. Her handmade clothing is to die for...go check out her shop if you havent already been there. Potomac River Goods has been around for a while so a lot of you may already be familiar with Justine and her mad skillz and if you dont know her you should! Drop in her shop and say Hi!

So thats it for today. I am so happy I got to blog its getting more and more rare that I actually have time to do it. Lord knows I have plenty to blog about! When I get awesome stuff like this from fantastic shops like those featured I MAKE time to blog. I feel like I have to tell everybody cause I dont wanna keep good stuff all to myself! I like to share. Much love to you all!

Maylees Special Gift From Kreated By Kelly Etsy Shop

I got this package today from Kelly who is the creative genius behind Kreated By Kelly. I love packages from Kelly they make me feel like a rich person when I open them so I tore into the package like a madwoman to see what was inside. Of course I found the beautiful packaging around everything. All wrapped up like birthday presents....so I tore everything apart to see what was inside and I just about fainted! The sheer beauty of these dresses she sent to my sweet baby is exquisite. I am in awe...seriously. The craftsmanship is astounding as always and my little sweetheart looks like a million bucks. I have not went to have professional pictures made of her yet...but i think now is a really good time to go before she outgrows these dresses!

























I wish I could have got better pictures but you know how toddlers are always running around...I thought it was odd that when I took the first pictures Maylee stood against the wall and stood still...It finally hit me that she is acting like me when I have Noor take pictures of my stuff I am modeling! She seen me do this a couple days ago, so she was acting like me. it was so cute when I finally figured out why she was still for a minute LOL



Here she is playing peek a boo in one of her new fancy dresses
















Oh isnt she a doll...Kelly I cant thank you enough for these gorgeous dresses!

Kelly also sent me this wondrous keychain! She just started making these and as soon as I seen them I knew I had to have one! I also got the most incredible pendant...it looks like the flower of life. I have been studying the flower of life for a good while now and I am just fascinated with it! I am so proud to have this pendant that will remind me of this mystery every time I look at it. What a gift!















Kelly is mostly known for her incredible button bouquets and jewelry. She does make clothing, VERY beautiful clothing and its worth a look. She has been making gorgeous patchwork clothes for quite some time now. She is a multi talented lady for sure, bursting with creativity!

If you want to give flowers that will always remain beautiful consider one of Kelly's bouquets. You can check out Kelly's shop by clicking any of the links in this post. They will take you to the main shop or a special section of the shop. Beware before you head over there...its ALL beautiful and makes you want everything there. When I win that lottery I am buying out her shop I promise!

Kelly, I love you SOOO much and I cant thank you enough for your kindness. I hope to return the favor someday. I hope the pictures of Maylee made you smile. When I get those professional ones done up I will post those here too!
