My Newest Projects

The other day I worked on these two cups.
 Front and Back
 Front: I Run          Back: So I can eat chocolate

This first one is what I call my Inspiration Water Bottle. I got the idea from something someone posted on Facebook. I thought it would be great to have something to remind me of why I run. And honestly, my reason isn't really because of chocolate (Although I do love me some chocolate!) But you see, about 2 years ago I started running because my husband bet me I couldn't. I use to HATE running. Now walking......I loved! I could do it all day long, but as soon as I would start running I would get crampy and uncomfortable. But 2 years ago it was different. I LOVED it. Maybe because when I use to run I was a teenager and had better things to do, but now I'm a Mom of 2 and found it was my "ME TIME". My husband would watch the girls and I would run/walk a mile. Then run a mile, then run 2 miles, 3 miles, 4 miles until eventually I ran my first race in November. A SIX MILE RACE! I was hooked and loved the feeling of leaving it all behind. I was able to think in peace and quiet (which with 2 small children is almost non-existent in my house). So all of that to say my bottle will say "I run.......to have some peace and quiet". Because although I love running, life tends to get in the way and I put it on the back burner a lot. So seeing this sitting out will help remind me of why I love it.
"If the shoe fits" Wine Glass


The other glass is a wine glass. A SHOE wine glass. Every woman loves her shoes, right? This one has "If the shoe fits" on one side and an adorable high heeled shoe on the other. I actually have over 20 different shoes I can use. I love them all! They are so cute!!
