Hello....
Its been quite awhile since I have blogged and mainly because usually when I blog its just me rambling on about something probably no one finds worth talking about except for me. LOL which i am used to, but sometimes just dont feel like excerting the energy to blog.
Anyways, today i feel differently...
Lately i have come across a few things that I not only love but have become a teenie bit obsessive about.... i tend to go overboard on things I LOVE ! So I thought i'd share some of them and maybe they too can be your obsession/interest too! I have decided to take those obsessions a step further and make a goal with them or in relation to using them... ( that way i dont feel as bad about them :) )
1) Instagram- its an app for iphone, ipads, or ipod touches. it allows you to take a picture from your phone or device and put a filter on it and it makes it look like an old polaroid. Now not everyone puts filters on there. i have learned there are a lot of people who put their images taken from other cameras on there and use instagram as a way to share. You can follow people, they can follow you. its like facebook but with cool photos. I am following a few people who have cute pets and poor Skuttle has had his little picture taken way to much (yes i am obsessed with skuttle too duh). He is a good sport though. ok my goal on here is to not go overboard cus i could post a picture of skuttle every hour and I'm sure that would annoy the heck out of people.... so my goal is to not be so obsessive lol. Here is an example of one of my posts http://instagr.am/p/LWTo2/?ref=nf me playing with my future nephew on the merry go round!
2) Pinterest.com- its like a giant peg board of ideas and where to find them, from crafts, to recipes, to house stuff, design, travel, clothes, hair etc... without having an actual inspiration board taking up space. You can also follow your friends and let me follow you and see what you have "pinned". I even have an owl pinboard because well yes thats another obsession here lately. My goal for this one is to try at least one new recipe a month. Hopefully 2! I would like to try one dessert and one dinner recipe a month. I've also found other blogs from surfing on it for hair styles, party ideas, cooking etc that i have started following too. Can you say snowball effect?
3) Diaper Cakes and baby stuff- No i am not preggers or planning on being anytime soon!!! and when i say anytime soon i mean years people... BUT with a best friend having a baby (she's in labor right this second) and a future sister in law having a baby ( she delivered last friday), the idea of a new little boy and little girl in my life got my creative juices flowing! My mom and I made a diaper cake for my friend and it spiraled into a whole lot more. We started a little business called Emmy Sue Diaper Cakes and Gifts. We make all kind of stuff and lately we have made some really cute stuff. Whenever we have had a new project I become obsessed with finding the right decorations for the cake, the right colors, the theme, etc.... I am sure most of you know this already if you are my friend on facebook, but if not.... check us out on facebook or on our website. http://emmysuediapercakes.weebly.com/ Hopefully as time continues we get more projects and we can make each one unique. My goal for this one is to just keep looking for new projects. My mom and I have a lot of fun doing this together and it meets my desire to make really personal gifts! I'd love to be a party planner so maybe this will open some doors to helping people plan small gatherings.
4) my wardrobe- ugh i'm obsessed with how bored i am with it! i wear the same stuff all the time to work, when i go out. Partly because only about half of my closet fits me right now, but with working out during lunch and getting back into my old ways that should change soon! I've decided if i meet my weekly goals to reward myself with something small ( frozen yogurt, that gossip magazine at the cash register-another obsession) etc.... In addition i decided to start small and i am going to add at least one new article of clothing to my wardrobe each month. I should have been doing this all along, but i dont. so starting September... at least one new item.
Anyways, so those are my latest obessions. Hopefully these goals i have set will stick. As i try new recipes ( crafts too hopefully) and wardrobe items... i'll try and blog about those too!!!
Enjoy your week!
