Domesticraft Relaunch & Life is Messy Kitchen Launch-0-Rama!



Two exciting EVENTS going on today in my little world!  


1.  I want to remind you guys about the Life is Messy Kitchen Cookbook!  It is being launched TODAY!  Yay Mayi!  It's not to late to sign up for her challenge!

I'm doing Mayi's challenge TOMORROW!  I'm tidying up the kitchen here at my sister's house.  Her kitchen is actually always tidy, it's my craft chaos throw-up all over her counters and table, that I'm having to clean up!  


Sorry, Sis . . . I know you gave me a whole studio to craft in, but it's so pretty that I prefer to keep it clean and use all but 2 feet of space at the end of the counter bar.  (That's how much room I left her)  

So peeps, let's help Mayi launch her awesome LIFE IS MESSY KITCHEN COOKBOOK and have some fun at the same time!


NEXT UP . . .







2.  The re-branding of Domesticraft!  TA-DA!  It has been a bit of a struggle with the whole "downsizing, will these boxes and suitcases ever end??" and walking around like I was on a boat drifting at sea, having to jettison so, so much!  Well, it was just what I needed!  And then, about two thirds of the way done getting the apartment in order, I abandoned my hubs for four weeks!  (with his blessing of course)  So instead of thinking of the downsizing as an ending of sorts, I now call it a fresh beginning!  And who doesn't love that?

I'm in my last week of  visiting at my little sister's house in super, sunny Scottsdale, Arizona!  The weather has been amazing and I so get why peeps would want to live here . . . at least at this time of year!  I've had complete freedom to craft and chat and brainstorm and eat popcorn and m&m's to my heart's content!  CRAFT CHICK BLISS!  

Here is an interesting shot for my Sis, Carol.  I thought her gorgeous jewelry could use a little T-Rex action!  The Jewel Lady
  
I can't even begin to tell you what an awesome time I've had!  So, here's what I came up with and it feels RIGHT . . .  cause I stay up late planning it and wake up early thinking about it!  I am chomping at the bit to get started, ya know?   I'm looking at an official launch date of January 1, 2015!  I've got so much I can't wait to share with you!  Do you have any ideas for me?  I would love your input!  And in case I haven't mentioned it or for some reason you didn't notice . . . I AM SO FLIPPIN' EXCITED!


Also, did you happen to notice my new blog header?  Go ahead, I'll give you a minute to scroll up and check it out.   Stay as long as you like, I so hope you like it! :)  Oh, you're back . . .man, that was fun to do!  I'd forgotten how much I love drawing with my mouse!  I've been going down a lot of rabbit holes with my little mouse lately.

Okay, so here's what I came up with it!  Let me know what you think in the comments, I would so appreciate it.  I am a work in progress and want to serve you, so let me know!

This is what my biz is and what my mission statement, my tagline and my signature look like. 

There's more to do, but I'll take it a day at a time. I'll officially re-launch Domesticraft on January 1, 2015 . . . READY OR NOT!  You know why?  Of course you do.  The pursuit of cute never ends . . . Isn't that GREAT?

      Isn't that T-Rex awesome! My neice bought me a set of dinos at Costco and I spray painted them. They look wicked! It's an amazing paint, so easy and quick. Love those kind of crafts sometimes, ya know? Instant gratification. ♡

    1. OMD! (Oh my dinosaur!) It was such a blast to write and even more fun to play with dinos like they were Barbies! Good times, good times.

      I just went to the 99 cent store with my other niece looking for specific items to spray paint for a photo shoot and nuff random stuff jumped in my cart, after yelling "Pick me, Pick me!" from the shelf! Yes, I feel they also knew, life could be cuter! :) I am in sunny AZ for only a few more short days, but I'm trying to work in another 2-3 weeks in March. My youngest is expecting her 7th child in mid-April and I feel I will need to gear up . . . BIG TIME!

      Craft happy!

    1. Yeppers, having an awesome time! I don't know what I'm going to do without her in person. Do you think I could get the hubs to wear lightweight pink sweaters & Swarovski Crystals or blingy boxer shorts?? Hahahah, not really . . . that is just separation anxiety talking. I'll craft through it!!

      So those Dinosaurs are all over Pinterest . . . LOVE THEM! It was so easy and fun and makes me giggle! I would highly recommend it to everybody!
