Not so Perfect but Still Crafty

Yes, I am a crafter, I have an Etsy store (who doesn't right?), I also make 95% of my Christmas gifts, haha sorry fam. But I am so much more than just crafty. I am a mommy, wife, artist, friend, sister, but most of all I am a real person that is not even close to being perfect in anyway. 

The only reason I write this horribly long blog entry is because sometimes I read blogs and think OMG how does she/he do it? How can this person possibly be this happy all of the time? It was bad for my self-esteem, lol. I am not saying I am a total Debby Downer but I have my moments. 

Maybe I am just jealous... I just can't do it all... I can't work full time, get my son to school on time, cook dinner, laundry, doctor visits, vet visits,etc… I’m lucky if my son gets a bath more than three times a week. My life is a jumbled up, unorganized, and a chaotic mess. Trying to be one of those people has seriously sent me to a mental hospital and all for nothing because I wasn't succeeding at any of what I was killing myself to be.

Love this...

There are so many things that aren't awesome about me... I don't like talking to strangers. Not because they're scary but because it's awkward. I mean, is this random person seriously asking me about the weather? And then what do I say? Um yea, I guess it is raining outside... I also really dislike having to entertain people and there are only a few people I know that I can have comfortable silence with... maybe like three. It's not because I don't like people but because sometimes I am just mentally lazy... hanging out with family for too long can put me in a two day coma afterwards. 

Just like I am more than a crafter, I am also more than just grumpy and tired. lol I am a first-time mommy to an insane little manimal… Yes you read that right, man + animal = manimal… He is just getting into his terrible threes.  I am married to the man of my dreams. I hate to brag but it’s true… I won’t go on and on about him now but I have a feeling you will get to know him very well throughout this blog. Crafting is my outlet and I plan on sharing all of my projects with you and when I say all I mean the pretty ones and the ones that turn out not so pretty.

I know it’s so GOD awful cheesy but my family is my reason for everything good I do. It doesn't matter how many times my son throws himself down on floor at the grocery store I would never give up the random kisses, his little arms around my neck, the “I wuv you mama”, or when he calls me "princess mama"... and especially when he sings Lady Gaga in the car.

In this blog I want to share my successes big and small. I also want to write about my past experiences, lessons learned and maybe some regrets. I have no idea where this is going to go. I guess I am just going to wing it. Wish me luck!
