Welcome to my little Blogging Corner of the World. I started this blog in September 2010!. Thank you for visiting my quirky life with pictures, budgeting tips, foodie recommendations, make up favorites and more. They say we should find our niche and stick to it. My mind doesn’t work like that because I like all the things. I have a feeling there’s many just like me.

10 Simple Things for my Summer Bucket List
Julia is off to summer camp next week and returns in August. What? Did someone say August?Didn't summer just start?
Here's my 10 More Things to add to my Summer Bucket List. It's never too late to start.
3. Take Julia for a Mani & Pedi. We can sacrifice a good meal for luxury right? She hasn't had one in years. I figure it will symbolically set her on the right path for High School.
4. Eat more veggies. Wow this is starting to sound like a New Years Resolution! My friend is selling vitamins, another Face Book Friend those wrap things, another sells a Nerium Cream to make me look younger. I'm starting to think I may need a turning 50 overhaul!
5. See another sunset by the beach. This picture looks like little alien orbs invaded my photograph.
6. Do something with my new vintage button collection. Button rings? Attach to picture frames or paperclips? Or add to bobby pins.?
7. Organize my purse more often -I change purses enough you would think they wouldn't get so messy! I just heard our church Skyline will be offering a Dave Ramsey Financial University! I'm so excited! I actually put the class in my prayer request card a few months ago! This will help get my wallet in order.
8. Make use of all my cook books by at least picking one and working with it. I love the old Church recipe cook books. Here are some samples I would love to try!
Notice there wasn't a comple meal? More like appetizers.
10. See #9- I'm enrolling this fall hoping to attend Southern California Bible College. It's less than 10 minutes from Julia's High School. I will be majoring in Christian Ministries.
There you have it a pretty basic list. Do you ever create a 1/2 way New Years Eve Resolution List? Or add to an exisitng bicket list? Do you even create a list?
My Julia has grown up with list-it's pretty routine. If not I tend to be all over the place!
Here's my 10 More Things to add to my Summer Bucket List. It's never too late to start.
1. Get Julia a new phone. Is she really the only one who walks around with a cracked phone?
2. Take "Baby" to get her nails done professionally. She cringes and turns white when she hears my Baby come hear voice while holding clippers.
9. Make it a point to read my bible daily. I do now yet I have really need to make time so it doesn't feel like an interruption. I have to create a routine. Make it a priority.

Payless Shoe Sale I'm a size 4 ,Daughter an 8!
How can it be I wear a size 4 when my 14 year old wears a size 8! Shopping at Payless the other day there were so many styles to choose from in the size 8 category yet the size 4 section screamed toddler area. Don't get me started on high heels! My choice of dressy shoes tend to be the Mary Jane Easter Sunday look! Not fair I say! Anyone else have small feet? 
Plain Jane Black
Size 5
I wanted this fuchsia and black pair
Nope! Had to settle for this sexy number .....
...so I have to wear thick socks yet hey they were $5.00 and with the BOGO sale they were $2.50 ! I need to be grateful -I know.
Origami Owl Jewelry - Vision Board
Have you heard of Origami Owl? It's custom jewelry lockets and tags you design yourself.
I decided to go with the diamond lockets with a few of my favorite charms creating a "vision" board I wear around my neck as a reminder to honor my dreams -keeping me focus!
Hoot Owl: I plan on selling Origami Owl Jewelery once I am allowed to fly.There is actually a waiting list to sell! Sounds popular or what?!
Faith: I'm going back to school and majoring in Christian Ministries.
Camera: I would love to get a better camera this season!
Coffee Cup: I'm volunteering at the Skyline Church Coffee Shop and would love to make a coffee drink without any help!
Travel Luggage: Would love to travel and do missionary work once Julia (14) graduates.
Green Accent Stone: Want to eat better. More greens -salads.have a healthier season.
Lips: This one was a gift from Origami Owl Corporate office welcoming me to the DESIGNER IN WAITING Team!

Vintage Covered Buttons in Mermaid Butter Cookies Tin
There's something about covered vintage buttons. Not sure if its the texture,colors or overall look-I love them! I saw Mermaid Butter Cookies Tin from Denmark yet written across was "Wade Covered Buttons". Low and behold I opened the tin and found this! Score!
Now what should I do with them? Any suggestions?
