23 Things About Me

I saw this on another blog, and thought it was a really cool idea. So here it is 23 Things About Me (that you may or may not know). The original blog was 25 Things, but since I just turned 23, I thought I would do that many instead!

1. I love to shop. 
2. My favorite sport is Lacrosse, specifically Men's (I mean I was a team manager for 6 1/2 years)
3. Criminal Minds is absolutely my favorite show. I watch repeats often. 
4. I have many knitting projects going at the same time. 
5. I like my beads and yarns organized by color, but yet I hate to clean. 
6. I prefer sour candy over chocolate. 
7. I've donated my hair twice for cancer patients. (once for Locks of Love and once for Pantene Beautiful Lengths), and I hope to do it again once its long enough.
8. I love giving presents, handmade ones if possible. 
9. Summer is my favorite season. 
10. I love to support local handmade artisans. 
11. I love to drink tea, and lots of it. 
12. I have and use a lot of post-it notes. 
13. I am a fan of gory movies (SAW series anyone?)
14. If I could be barefoot always I would love that. 
15. I've been known to make just frosting to eat.
16. I want to learn how to sew (again)
17. I would pick going somewhere warm over somewhere cold in terms of traveling.
18. Flea markets are so much fun to go to (see #1)
19. I am a psychiatric nurse and I love what I am able to do. 
20. I have a collection of handmade mugs (the larger the better, see #10 and #11)
21. I would love to have my own store someday (with my mom of course). 
22. I am not a morning person...unless you count staying up until its almost morning as a morning person.
23. Lastly and most importantly, I am thankful for everyone and everything that I have in my life, they are what made me who I am today. 

Crickets...

Maybe that't what you have been hearing as I have not posted here for over a month. Well since my last post, I have moved into my own apartment and have started working as a registered nurse. It has been a busy couple of weeks, but my schedule should be a little more set now that my normal hours start soon. Thankfully these hours allow me time to be able to make jewelry! So much that I have run out of wire, and am waiting for my order to come in.

I treated myself to a light box from Cowboy Studios, that way I have no more excuses about taking pictures of my new jewelry because of lighting issues. It has arrived, but I have to go and get lights for it. Now it is just a white tent. I am planning on getting those ASAP.

Also over the time that I have been silent, I helped my mom (Treasures & Trinkets) with two shows that she did, one at Drummer Boy Park in Brewster. I only was able to help one day because I was working the other two, but it was great to be able to have that one day to be her check out girl :) The other was over Labor Day weekend and it was a lot of fun. Her next show is in November (I will be posting about it when it gets a little closer). She makes some really great polymer clay jewelry!

Until next time, hopefully with new photos and more updates!

Yet another blog post with updates

Yes, I have been silent yet again on this poor blog, but there have been legitimate reasons.

The first: I graduated from college. Yes, it is hard to believe that four years have gone by so fast. Unfortunately I still need to keep studying because I will have to take the NCLEX exam in order to become an RN which I will be taking this summer.

The second: Not as great news, my Nana passed away. I was able to be with her which I really wanted to do, so I am very thankful for that. She was my inspiration for becoming a nurse, and I will miss her very much.
