Eco Friendly Flip Flops

Eco Friendly American Eagle Flip Flops at Payless

Want to make the world a better place one step at a time? Reduce your footprint with this eco-friendly American Eagle sandal. It features a cute flower detail on the upper straps and a PVC-free, degradable, recyclable ecoFoam outsole with a fun print. Manmade materials.

I just purchased these today.  Right now at Payless they're having their BOGO (buy one, get one 1/2 half) sale.  I'm super excited...i'm hoping more places will start making their flip flops eco friendly.

I Want it Wednesday :: Things I need to help me fufill my dream.

This post is just a list of things that I need to help my little business along and help me with the next four years of my life....college.  My goal is to have a few of these things by the end of this year.  Some of them I will need for school also so those are my first priority products.  I know that eventually I will have what I need but I decided to make a list of everything I need and want that way JUST INCASE anyone was wanting to buy me something they'll know what to buy. haha

Flip MinoHD $229.00

I need this camera so that I am able to video my tutorials.  I want to be able to do tutorials on applying vinyl wall art, crafting, using the cricut.

Wacom Bamboo Craft $129.00

So I've been wanting one of these for a while now.  Sometimes its so hard to work with a mouse.  I definately think this will help out with editing photos and I want to be able to actually draw on my computer.

Yudu Machine $299.00

I have wanted this since the day I found out that provocraft was bringing this out.  This isn't at the top of my list but it's definately on my list.  It took me about 2 years after the cricut came out to get it but I got it.  So I have faith that one day I'll be able to afford this.  I have so many ideas for what I can do with this.

Nikon D60

I've been looking at cameras for about 9 months now.  I think this is the one I finally have chosen.  The next hard part is which lenses to start off with.

Adobe Photoshop CS4  $699

I'm hoping I can get a student discount on this when it comes to buying it.  I have Paint Shop Pro 7 but it just isn't photoshop. 

Apple iMac $3616.00

I've never had an iMac.  I did get an iBook back a long time ago.  I LOVED it.  But at the time NOONE had mac's.  Noone around here even knew what they were.  I couldn't do my homework or anything on it because nothing at school was compatable.  Boy how times have changed.  I WILL own this.....one day.

Canon PIXMA MP980 Wireless Photo All-in-One Printer, Scanner, Copier $249.95

I need a new WIRELESS printer.  The printer I have now i've had for about 6 years probably.  It's still in great condition but way out of date.  I need something that is wireless so that both I and the husband are able to print from.  Plus, if its wireless I can get it away from my computer and out of my work space.  It's taking up alot of room right now.  With this wireless one I can put it anywhere in the room.

Gocco Printer

Well, this is one thing on my list I may never get.  I found out about this awesome machine last spring while searching online for wedding invitation ideas.  I really wanted to purchase one and make my own wedding invitations but at the time didn't have the money to invest in it.  After I passed up the opportunity to buy it I found out that they stopped making it and stopped making the supplies.  You can still find them online for lots of money...but I doubt I'll ever be able to afford to buy one plus stock up on all the supplies. 

I'll probably be adding more to this list later....

I Want it Wednesday

Abby Quilt Set at Walmart

I thought this was super cute and super cheap.  For King Size it't only $64.88.  And it's reversable.. .so it's like two for one. :o)   I wish I knew how to quilt...I'd make my own bed set. :o)

You've got a mission...ready, set, GO!

Isn't she a beaut??  Well...there's a story.. (isn't there always?)  Last spring me and one of my friends went to Indianapolis for some shopping before the wedding.. I basically went to buy some cute cloths and accessories for the honeymoon trip to Florida.  As I was strolling thru "In Love 21" (it's like the accessory store for Forever 21 I fell in love with this baby.  She fit so perfectly on my arm... (okay not really, that damn tie was really annoying on my shoulder..but I didn't care..)  Anyways...I loved the green and blue together... the blue stitching, not to mention the adorable whale on the front..  Anyways..as I walked around the store knowing I was going to buy this thing (it was ONLY $19) my friend that was with me talked me out of it.  She had to bring up that I had just bought a $300 Coach purse and that I didn't need this purse.  Yes, it was true I purchased a $300 COACH purse..but was I going to carry it everyday?? Hell No!! It was $300 I didn't want to damage it.. I needed a purse I could carry all the time...  Anyways... I didn't buy it.. for some reason I listened to my friend.  (I usually never listen to any of my friends, sometimes they don't give good advice. hehe)  Anyways.. so here we are 1 year later and this purse is still haunting me.  I still dream of her often and imagine her uncomfortable strap on my shoulder....oh i have to have her.  I've searched all over the internet... Forever 21 doesn't carry her anymore and I can't find it on ebay or anywhere else...

PLEASE HELP!!! I need her!! 

I want her!! I must have her for this spring/summer PLEASE..

Anyone who can lead me to the purchase of this will be rewarded greatly...promise!!

Oh, and If anyone reading this is capable of making said purse (minus the tie on top) please let me know...that'd be even better... handmade...

For great hair and head accessories check out Kate House

I've known Katie Jo now for probably 10 years....maybe longer.  I met her a LONG TIME AGO online I think at a Britney Spears Fan Club chat or something like that.  I know it had to do with Britney Spears. haha  We're both big fans.  Anyways, we both had livejournals and had alot in common.  Sometimes I told her things that I didn't tell my "real life" friends.  She just always seemed to understand me and never judge me.  That's what I loved about her.  Since then of course online social networking as taken over...we both have a myspace, facebook, blog, twitter, etc.  But we ALWAYS stayed in touch.   When we first met online she lived in California and I lived in Indiana, so I always knew there was probably no way I'd ever get to meet her.  A couple of years ago she moved to a town in Michigan which is only about a 5 hour drive for me.  I'm hoping one day we will get to meet.  She's like my "virtual BFF" but I have no doubt that if we lived closer she'd be my "real BFF."
Anyways, last fall we were talking about how we both were going to be opening an etsy shop.  I was just as excited about her opening one as I was myself.  I knew she had a great eye for detail and was very creative.
I always knew that I would want her to make me something from her shop.  When I saw she was doing hair/head accessories I was so excited.  I gave her a few ideas of what I'd like and she came up with something PERFECT!!!  All her hair accessories are amazing but she knew I wasn't a "girly girl" who would wear feathers, diamonds, flowers...etc.  so she came up with something that fits me EXACT. I love em!!

Green Leaf Headband by kate house

Isn't this amazing???? I LOVE IT!!! Oh wait...it gets better....

Green Leaf Headband by kate house

OMG!!!  When she posted these last nite I fell in love with both of them.  Unfortunately my hubby would kill me if I bought both right now, so I had to pick just one.  I picked the single leaf one.  I think now I am regretting my decision because maybe I like the double leaf one better...i don't know.. I love them both so much..and I'm probably going to end up buying it too! haha  They are so "me."  She did so well picking out the perfect color green and the perfect size and everything...I'm just so happy with it.  I ordered it last nite and she is only a state away so I'm hoping to have it by this weekend so I can wear it when we go out of town. EEEE!!!  I can't wait!!

Anyways, please check out Katie's etsy shop.  Her items are amazing.  Also check out her blog.  She's also a very talented photographer and designer.  Below are a few other items from her shop.

Black and Grey Grosgrain Rosebud Fascinator Headband

Perfect for dressing up!!!

White Feather and Grosgrain Rosebud Clip

Would look amazing on a bride!!

I Want it Wednesday

Love Birds Latte Mug Set of 4 Red

Isn't this so cute?? My two favorite animals...cute birds and turtles.  I love this.  I don't even know if I'd drink out of them because they are so freakin' cute.

Valentine Owl Latte Mug Set of 4 Pink

Oh...then I came across this.  I am NOT a fan of pink but I do love trees and owls... so maybe i'd take this set and only keep 1 and give the other 3 away...either way this set is super cute too.

Turtle Photo Clips Set of 2

These are super cute.  I don't like the pink one but it would make a super cute gift for someone.  I LOVE the green one.  He's green, he's got cute little hearts, and he's got a touch of blue.  He's so cute.

Multi Cross Hatch Stem Large Tote

I know I said that I would never buy another handbag that wasn't handmade...but isn't this bag amazing?? How could I not want this?  One day. . . ;o)

I Want it Wednesday :: Urban Outfitters Edition

DIY Eco Speakers by Merkury

This are FREAKING awesome.  I want these SO BAD.  I love music and art and what better way to unite the two than with eco friendly speakers you design yourself?!?! This was just bumped to #1 on my WANT list. :o)

Birds Pillow by Chris Bettig

As you know I have an obsession with birds...and I'm doing the whole "birds" theme in my craft room/office.  This pillow would look awesome in there.  The colors are so bright and would really look good in there.  I actually wouldn't mind to have this fabric and use it for curtains or other things.

Love Love Love Wall Art

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this wall art.  I've got an inspiration (love) wall going on in my craft room so I could totally see this on that wall...but at the same time I could so see this in our bedroom above our bed.  Hmm..that's a tough one.  But either way I would love to have this.  Most of the pictures on my inspiration wall are about love in some way or another and this one is no exception. I LOVE this.

You and Me by Valentina

Something Good is Going to Happen by Valentina

I was surfing around on Etsy and came across a shop named Valentina Designs. It is artwork by artist Valentina Ramos. After scanning thru her etsy shop I realized I must see more of her work. So I found her blog and website. I fell in love with just about every single item she has ever made. Including an awesome calendar with owls...but it's not in the shop anymore which totally bummed me out. BUT...her shop is still full of lots more prints that I want to put in my craft room on my inspiration wall and a few prints I wouldn't mind hanging up in our bedroom. I of course added her blog to my blog list that I read everyday and plan on ordering some of her prints one day when I get a job...but until then I'll continue to just drool over all her artwork and try to tell as many people about her as I can. She's an amazing artist and I hope she continues to create for a long time. Oh...and my favorite print...I would have to say would be "You and Me." I love the birds, the tree, the colors...everything about that print is AMAZING..and would look beautiful in our home. That will be my first purchase one day. . .

I Want it Wednesday - Etsy Edition

Promise our Planet Pocket Wallet by MercysMark

I love this fabric.  I would love to also have some pillows made out of it and maybe a bag to put this wallet in. LOVE IT!!

Would You Love Me Magnet Set by BlockPartyPress

Ever since I was little I've always been facinated with trees, wood, bark, etc.  I always would draw a tree in almost every picture I drew.  I grew up in a smalltown where their were trees everywhere, I could never imagine living in a city with no trees.  Anyways, I love these magnets.  You can also get this same design in jewelry.

Spouts by Marmar

Speaking of Jewelry I've been looking around for some cute jewelry for the upcoming Spring Season.  I came across this necklace and fell in love with it.  I think it is the cutest thing.  I added him to my favorite's on Etsy and hope when I get a job he will be one of my first purchases.  He just looks so lonely.

Mimosa Laptop Bag by Mareri

I have a 17" laptop that I have a really hard time finding a good bag to carry it in. It's much bigger than I expected when I chose a 17" over a 15" and apparently 17" bags are hard to come by. Well atleast ones that look good. When I came across this one I fell in love. It's amazing. It's got a cute little bird on it so it will look so stylish in my craft room/office and the colors are beautiful. And if your not a fan of yellow, it also comes in a dark blue.

Bright Organics All-Occasion Notes Set by Joyful Abode

I think these cards are so awesome. I love the colors, the designs, everything. I thought these would actually look really cute framed and hung up on the wall.
