<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Hello everyone!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">I'm so excited to show you my new business cards!! I had them delivered through<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.vistaprint.com/" target="_blank">VistaPrint</a>, and I was
able to design them in a "DIY" fashion through <a href="http://www.picmonkey.com/" target="_blank">PicMonkey</a>. I absolutely
love PicMonkey. I used their photo-editing abilities back when they were
PicNik, and they are still just as user-friendly. My header, Facebook Cover, and Etsy
Banner were all created using PicMonkey. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">I knew I wanted to create my own business cards with my own
"NoWayMommyCrafts" flare. I first did a quick Google search for
"DIY business cards with PicMonkey" and came up with Heather's
tutorial from <a href="http://www.desperatelyseekingsanity.com/2013/07/07/how-to-make-your-own-business-cards-with-picmonkey" target="_blank">DesperatelySeekingSanity.com</a>. She does a great job
explaining PicMonkey and what she did to make her Business cars. Even if you’re
a seasoned PicMonkey user, it’s always nice to have a "step by step"
to keep you on track. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Heather mentioned a different printing company for her business
cards. I actually had a coupon from VistaPrint, so that was the best route for
me! Overall I'm so pumped to have my business cards ready to go! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Last night I got to put them into use! I provided the desserts for
an Open House: Brownie Pops (Turtle, Andes Mints, & Rocky Road),
Puppy Chow, & decorated Sugar Cookies. Although I don't usually create
edibles for events (to much of it being a cake decorator for seven years) I'll make
exceptions every once in a while. I did, however, use last night as an
opportunity to advertise my Etsy shop. And business cards are always a
necessity for quick advertisement! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It’s Monday
again! I hope you had a great weekend. Here at NoWayMommy’s, we have had a
hectic go of the last four days. I’m sorry Wednesday didn’t happen. My handsome,
little, <s>stubborn</s> boy decided after Mommy made his Super costume that he
didn’t want to be Super Man anymore. Now usually I would tell him that he has
to stick with the choice he made, but his cap decided to make a disappearing
act. In other words, my Wednesday was spent searching for a last minute Iron
Man costume. And of course he was a cute little Iron Man!</span></div>

<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">In my last blog update, I told you about 365 day challenge.
And of course, the day after, I lost my camera charger. A week later I found
it! Yay, for the recovery, but unfortunately my hard set goal took a turn. I am
still dedicated to my 365 challenge, but I'm going to start over in November.
For sure for sure! I've also decided, if for SOME reason I can't take a picture
(much like this past week), I will make them something pretty for that day and
then take a picture of it later. Long story short... listen to ramble on about
how I feel guilty for breaking this super dedication to myself.. bah! </span><br />

On a
happier note: I was able to take my son to a local farm we have here in
Missouri (because yeah we've got a lot of them). The great thing about this
particular farm: they open their farm up to the public from September to
October. They have a barn to pet the animals: horses, goats, pigs, bunnies, and
more. Then they have a fence to see turkeys, roosters, and chickens. A huge
corn maze (note: if you allow your three year old to lead you through a corn
maze, be prepared to stay in there for an hour), a hay ride, and a huge pumpkin
patch. My son also got to play in a huge pit filled with corn kernels; it was
almost sand like, really cool!</div>

checking out your local farms, and seeing if anything like this is happening in
your community. It will have you appreciating the food you purchase, especially
when you see how much work it takes to grow, plow, inspect, transport, package,
and then have it arrive in the store ready for you to consume. <o:p></o:p></div>

On a
completely unrelated note:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
I am planning
on starting a craft showcase! I want to use a different product from a certain
company and show you all the uses. Vague much!? Yes it is! But I’m not 100%
ready for the big reveal, so look forward to my post on Wednesday for all the
information!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
Have you
been to your local farm? If so, do you have a story to tell or anything to add?
I’d love to hear it! Thanks for coming by!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Welcome to my new blog!</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">A little about myself (and what you can expect to see)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm outgoing, crafty, crazy, a little OCD, kind of a perfectionist, and a mommy. I crochet, scrap book, paint, sew, cook and I'm a DIY fanatic!</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I have 3 cats, a puppy, the most amazing parents, a sweet </span><strike style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">irritating</strike><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> loving boyfriend, and the best son! I love life to the fullest. I know its not perfect, but that's what makes it fun! Thinking of all the people and what I love most in life actually is what lead me to rethink blogging.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This actually isn't my first blog. I've actually had a few. I've always had a problem in the past with the goal I want to set for a blog. I've blogged about being a mom, about just crafting, and even about being a student. The problem I ended up having: those are just aspects of my life. I can't pick a certain part of my life to talk about, instead I've decided to share all aspects, because they're all important to who I am.</span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I have recently decided (or re-decided) to take part in the <a href="http://captureyour365.com/" target="_blank">365 photo challenge</a> (she has an amazing website that's really inspiring). I've tried in the past, but I didn't have a goal in mind (Are you seeing the trend in my life? lol). And then the inspiration occurred: Christmas is approaching, and because my son & boyfriend gave me the sweetest card <strike>after he pissed me off</strike> saying I love you, I've decided to take a picture everyday that says or displays the words "I Love You". By this time next year, a year worth of I Love You's, will be an amazing Christmas present! </span></div>
<div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I'm so excited to get started! I've already taken my first picture!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: center;">This is the card my sweet boyfriend gave me to </span><strike style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: center;">make up for</strike><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: center;"> show me he cares! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Basic Goal: take a picture with "I Love You" somewhere in the scene. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">If you have any ideas or inspiration let me know! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Thanks for coming by! And I hope you come back again to see all the crazy craftiness I have in store! </span></span></div>
