S3: E8 Stuck on Stickers

-

I'm not sure if I talked about this before, but as a kid I had sticker commitment issues. I loved stickers, don't get me wrong, I just didn't want to use them. What if I didn't want them in the spot I put them in forever?! Sticker books helped and I filled plenty! I am sure I still have them all somewhere, along with probably tons of unused sheets.

It's funny that as adults we still love stickers! Whether we put them on our cars, water bottles, laptops, and notebooks, we will buy them. Currently I have a stack of them that don't have a committed spot to go on yet. What am I waiting for?! Regardless, with my Cricut, I am now able to make my own, which is dangerous. 

Before I had that easy access though, my best friend requested a Mario themed sticker (3 years ago, no joke) and I just got to it a month or so ago. I wasn't confident enough of doing it justice when she first asked. Over the years I have been able to push myself and learn new techniques so I asked if she still wanted it and whipped it up. Since the wait was so long, I decided to create some bonus ones for her, too!

When we went to Disney for our 30th birthdays, we got Dole Whip and her cashier told her it was "on the mouse" which was so cute! That was such a fun and core memory I decided to make magic with that. Then along the lines of ice cream, I came up with a Monsters Inc. themed one with Mike Wazowski and it says "EYE SCREAM" which I thought was pretty great. I may continue to do that idea with other characters. Stay tuned!

Lastly, I made one for me because it IS me! While working at LEGO, I had a mini figure on my apron that looked like me and I decided to turn her into a design. Now I turned her into a sticker! She can go wherever I decide to put my Lizzie McGuire inspired cartoon of myself. Who wouldn't want various Marilyn inspired stickers?!

I keep saying this, but I want to reopen my Etsy shop, and now I have plenty of new ideas and creations to add to it! I actually have two more I am currently working on and am super excited about. Let me know if there are any requests you have and I promise I won't take 3 years to fulfill it!

S2: E10 Let Go

-
Image
I have always had a hard time with changes throughout my life. Even though it is the one constant thing to happen. But as I get older, I am realizing how much it is needed and I have been embracing it. Life would be boring if everything stayed the same. Imagine where we would be today if things didn't change and progress.  Two years ago, I was in need of a new car REAL BAD. My Ford Taurus was good to me for my first years of driving, and more. It got me here and there, but eventually, it was time for something different. Me being me, I felt bad having to get rid of it and thinking about all the good times driving my friends around and going to fun places. But it wasn't even safe to drive anymore... no power steering, the floor was rotted, my door wouldn't shut in the winter time, needless to say, I had very low standards when looking for a new one. Now I have my Nissan Sentra and I love it SO MUCH! There are so many new features that I didn't have before, and the overal...

S2: E9 Yogurt Cup

If you know me at all, then you probably know that my all time favorite show is Boy Meets World. Clearly, because my whole brand is even based off of it! One of my favorite moments in the show is when Eric and Cory go on a road trip together. What Cory doesn't know is that for Eric, this isn't just a trip. He decides he isn't going home afterwards. Along their travels though, they come across the World's Largest Yogurt Cup, which they must visit! There is even a Parade of Sprinkles that Cory checks out, but doesn't get the memo about wearing goggles to protect his eyes. 😂 (Images found on Google from the show, I do not own the rights to them - sharing for visual purpose) I feel I am a lot like Cory Matthews in many ways, but one being how I would be just as excited for this random iconic monument. My dream is to visit all 50 states and I would hope to find as many of the "World's Largest" things along the way! SADLY, this one was just made up for the ...

S3: E9 Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year

"Never apologize  for how you feel,  for how you hurt,  for how much you love." I'll be honest with you. I feel like I have been in a bit of a slump the past 2 months. Waves of loneliness, FOMO, fear in general, being different or having unique interests, the constant comparison and not being where I "should be" in life. All of it is valid, but this is MY YEAR.  In honor of my 30th back on January 19th, I decided to do something fun for myself on the 19th of every month this year - so far it's been a success! July is my "half-birthday" month and I thought it would be a good time to step back to appreciate all the good/positives that have happened since my birthday rather than get stuck in the slump. Being my own Valentine, throwing myself a party, seeing Hamilton... ...Grilled Cheese Weekend, Free Cone Day, a cute/confident outfit.... ...reuniting with friends, Crumbl Cookie adventures, Nostalgia Fair... ...Immersive Disney Experience, flowers from...
