-Midori Slider Charm "She's Fancy"-

Today I added a new Midori slider charm to my Etsy shop.
I named it "She's Fancy", because the antiqued brass butterfly is all fancied up by her rhinestone chains.

Very pretty and looks great on a Midori with its vintage look!

Hey YOU, this is me...
The 4th of July is just around the corner, one of my favorite Holidays that fills me with patriotism and gratitude for our Service Men and Women!

My husband was in the Air Force and a Gulf War Veteran. For many years we have been active within the VFW and worked on some wonderful 4th Of July BBQ's, party's and dinners for countless veterans.

In honor of them and the season I found some great 4th Of July printables to decorate your home or party with.

Please visit each of the creators sites by clicking on the images to download your print.

Have a happy and safe Independence Day!

-The Fauxbonichi Is My Favorite Now!-

It has been a long while since I added a post to my blog, but I have been working on myself to feel better and become a healthier person!

Managed to lose 42 pounds since last year end of November and I'm still going strong, because I still want to get rid of an other 40 pounds or so.

It is unbelievable how much better I feel already and how much more energy I have these days. My depression and anxiety moments are almost all gone and being around people is a bit more comfortable for me.

I ditched my Filofax and mostly just use my Fauxbonichi and Midori to take notes, journal, plan and be artsy. This year I will buy the real Hobonichi, because I'm sure now that I can justify the cost for one, because I make good use of my Fauxbonichi.

I still love my Filofax and will figure out some kind of use for it, but I just don't have that much to plan like Moms or people with a job have to do. 

I'm a housewife, my daughter is grown and I really do not need to plan out when to wash my dishes. 
It's pretty obvious that when a pile of dirty dishes stares at you up from the sink, that it is high time to fill the dish washer or get the sponge out to wash them! 
I still do make notes here and there about household chores that need to get done, but I don't need to make a huge deal about it in my planner and that is why I love my Fauxbonichi!

It also is way more fun to decorate, do some art or doodle. 
I find it very relaxing and less pressure to keep track of things, plus it feels like there is much less of a rule to plan or journal about your life on a daily basis. 

Not to mention I get to buy great stationary and art supplies like my newest splurge the set of 150 Prismacolor Pencils....Boy do I love them!
