(aztec lily flower from flickr)After several years
(ouch) I
finally have a website for my jewelry line,
Aztec Lily.
Now, believe me, it's nothing extravagant, just a simple place-keeper for the site I'd like it to be. Since I'm determined to know how to do this myself, it's taking some time, even with all the tools that help me out and promise I don't have to know html and all that other "hard" stuff. So, for now, it's very basic and you'll have to excuse me.--oh, and for some reason when you type the address in the search bar the link says "under construction", but if you click on it, the website will show up.
In other news, I think I'm finally warming up to the idea of this fall thing, even though I still haven't removed these...
...front door...
...back door...yes, the bright colors do look a little out of place, seasonally speaking, especially with the little pumpkin I have displayed near my front door. To make it all worse, I've had the goodies on hand to create my fall door masterpieces for over two months now! Ugh! And to think I felt SO proud of myself when I bought the stuff way before
(I thought) I needed it. Typical me!
But I
have added some fall-ish touches to my blog in the form of some changed font colors and my new banner, courtesy of
Scrapblog, the only digital designing I've yet to try out. (But seriously, you
have to try it out too, it's so easy!) Anyway, I hope you like.
Took a picture of my reflection...
finished painting this jewelry armoire that I started the summer before last (wince)...
sanded this jewelry box that I painted last Fall...
found these baubles in one of the armoire's drawers...
and looked out my kitchen window, surprised (seriously, why does that word have an "r" after the "u"?) to see the moon so near and so early.

Yes and here's the proof...her kindergarten school photo! Wow, how time has flown by.
Oh, but it does feel good to cross each thing out! Something that's not on the list (but definitely something I've been wanting to do) is that I finally finished up my first scrapbook page that wasn't a class sample. In over a year! Well, kinda.
One part of it was a sample for an alcohol ink technique class I taught and I wanted to show how you could take the sample home and apply it to an entire scrapbook page.
See here. So anyway, after I finished that up I started digging into my stash of pages that are finished but need to go in albums,
see here, and ones that are completed class samples but still have no pictures
see here, some of which are at least a year old,
see here. With all these little loose ends I feel like I need to tie up so they will quit nagging at the back of my mind, it's hard to relax and enjoy time to be creative on new stuff, which is all I really wanna do.
When all the world is gray and gloomy you create your own light, that is, Fire and Light...
yes, that's right, the annual seconds sale was this weekend and mom and I went to buy ourselves some little treats.
I bought a few more plates, now I have 8...
...and I bought a soap/butter dish (I'm going to use it for butter). Isn't it pretty?
My oldies, but definitely still goodies, were sitting in the dark cupboard, jealous of all the attention I was focusing on my new stuff so I took them out for their 15 seconds of fame. I have a few more scattered pieces--butterflies, candlesticks, and pieces I use in photos with my jewelry--but cummon, I didn't have all day folks!
