New bag... 4:49 PM

I got this tote at Hobby Lobby and wanted to upgrade it a bit so that I can carry the necessary things that I never think about carrying with me for my daughter.

I really wanted to use the pink fabric I had purchased to wrap it.

But I'm not sure If I added too much glue under the fabric or this fabric didn't want to be decoupaged to this kind of fabric but this wasn't working out. You see all those marks of glue seeping through, and then I added modpodge on TOP of it and it looked even worse. So the solution...Buy another one and start over.

This time I decided to use Folkart acrylic paint in #2850 Neon Pink all over and Folkart in #2241 Apple Green on the trim. I added Hot Topic stickers and here's my basic tote.

I still need to finish painting the inside of the handles, maybe even adding some ribbon, hmm don't know how that would look.

Not too shabby... 5:29 PM

I am little by little trying to decorate my kids room and I went with pink and black. So I decided to give decoupage furniture a try. And I went big. I have had this little yard sale ugly little brown dresser for 4 yrs that is in my kids room.
I never thought about spray painting it or decoupaging it or anything until I started to release my inner craftiness.

I went to Hobby Lobby (LOVE THAT STORE) and found this fabric that goes well with the design of the same scrapbook paper I used to make the wall art.

I just cleaned off the dresser and just taped off the part I painted black with FOLKART ACRYLIC PAINT.

I just measured out whatever I was going to need and used MODPODGE to glue it all over.

I also bought this awesome pink fabric I was going to use to update a tote bag and noticed it would look great with the color scheme I was going for in her room so I incorporated it on the drawers, I took off those handles and painted them black, again with FOLKART PAINT. And this is the end result.

In total I spent $9.63
The black/white fabric was $5.49 a yard.
The pink fabric was on sale $4.14 a yard
I already had everything else.

I want one... 9:00 AM

Yesterday we went window shopping and we stopped by a LIDS store and my hubby had wanted to buy a hat that cost $35 bucks and I was thinking well damn if your going to spend that much might as well go big and better. Thinking YEA ED HARDY

and then I seen these..ooh soo pretty!

Christian Audigier does awesome work. Though buying his clothes make you look cool they will definitely leave you broke. Just a hat cost around $70. So one day I will afford a hat hahaha!

Making me cry... 7:23 AM

Well it's obviously been a while since I've written on here. Everything pretty much just revolves work and daycare.. So nothing real exciting to talk about there.

Wait I lied. For a minute there I was having difficulties leaving my kid at daycare. The first 2 starting days that I left her there she left running away from me to go play with all the cool stuff and didn't even give me a second look back so I assumed she would have no problem there.

Then because the way my work schedule is I made the mistake of not being there for a whole week and when I returned that Monday she literally had a melt down. She cried and ran away from me but not into the class room, away from them and entered another classroom and hid behind one of the teachers. I carried her in my arms trying to console her and I walked into her class when one of the daycare ladies just literally grabbed her from me. Which I DID not appreciate her doing.

I think I would have done OK in trying to calm her down before I had to go but it was like a scene out of a movie where a social services lady was taking kids out of there house. My kid was grabbing at my shirt and jacket and when I left I was crying. It made me so mad at the lady and I cried because I had Never seen my kid like that. And then I started regretting going back to work so soon. So I need to take her more regularly so that she gets used to it and they all tell me it's good to start now because then when it's actually time for her to start school she would of be more used to it.

Too much drama... 8:21 PM

Wow It's been awhile since I've been able to blog and I'm on a serious withdrawal :D

Let me tell you it's has been a long time since I have been on my feet for 7 hours a day for 4 straight days.. My feet hurt and I swear they have swollen up to 2 xtra sizes. ewww.. Thank goodness I have Thursday and Friday off.. yea for me!

There has been so much drama there since I've started. Managers and District Managers being fired for suppose stealing, people walking out, the managers threatening the walked out employees that they would make sure they wouldn't get hired at any retail place again, it's just a mess. Everybody talks about everybody, I swear it's like being in high school again. And I work with 30 and 40 year old people..

One store manager is applying to be a District manager and she's rude to all the employees and other store managers. Yea... that went straight to her head and she isn't even training yet. So lots of drama but whatever, I do my own work and keep my private life out of work (but haha share it to the blog world right :D). I don't need this job and I could save my money from not sending my kid to a daycare but I like doing something more productive and my child has a different experience in her life. So I'm hoping I can stay out of the drama till at least one pay period. =)

P.S Cindy from Cindysrandomness.. I couldn't get into your blog if you just give me an email address then I can help you out... :D

I'm a working mama... 6:31 PM

So I have a ^JOB^. I started training today. I think it's going to be a good experience getting back in the workforce..eventually I had to do it so why not know. My little one is ready to go to preschool anyways.

I have to say that I'm glad I'm not working in that same store of the manager who hired me. I was trying to finish my packet and finish watching a training video but I couldn't concentrate because he kept singing..loudly... off key... and in the same room I was in. Very distracting. He kept talking to me and I was thinking to myself.. "Would you like me to finish today or not?"

And he talks about himsel constantly. That he used work at MAC and that he doesn't know why he downgraded. He made his store at MAC the best one in the state, he takes nobody's crap, that he was the best makeup artist ever blah, blah, blah..

And he's mean, he kept being mean to his own newbie girl.. saying that she wasn't catching on right away I mean hello if you've never done that kind of a job before it's going to take a while. He kept saying like "She's driving me crazy".

So yea I'm definitely happy he won't be my manager. My ^ DISCOUNT ^ has already taken affect. yea! Can't wait to get my 1st $ paycheck so that I can start spending it like a mad woman :D
