There should seriously be a word called returnaphobia. I just went throgh my credit card statement and added up everything that I need to return in order to see what I REALLY owe... I have about $220 tied up in merchandise that needs to be returned (Michael's, Dillard's, Wal-Mart...) and I'm too petrified to do it. So I googled it...
Turns out I just have a social disorder. Go figure.
Thanks Google!
Yeah, this is about the way I feel when I have to do it.
Oh my goodess it has been forever since I've updated and I apologize to my lonely 2 followers. Between having surgery and getting my tutus made I lost track of my blog!
ONWARD!
I have been creating tutus for the halloween season for little kiddos! Adults too! Take a look at my creations:
If you're interested in purchasing one please visit http://www.mylittleqtpie.etsy.com/ and even if you don't want to, check it anyways and let me know what you think!

I know! Can you believe it? I actually finished something I said I would start! This isn't the best picture, but it is all I had while sitting at work.
My next mission is her cake. I want to try something is very much on the difficult side for me, but I find this to be a great time to justify spending $$ on baking utensils I could possibly need in the near future.
I found this WONDERFUL woman named Janell on the internet. She has a blog and made a 9 minute video on how to make a topsy turvy cake.

Now, I don't believe I will make it as well or as tall as she does. Who knows? My fondant might turn out crap and I will have to use buttercream icing. But, she has blessed us with all of her cake, icing and fondant recipes and I bow down to her skills.
I must try this. I have to. I could discover a talent that I have!

I just finished designing Annie's bridal shower invitation and I am pretty proud of myself! I don't know how well the print quality will be, but I don't really care. I am adding a piece of sheer (shear?) paper over this and tying it with green ribbon.
Let me know what you think!
I ended up having to delete the blog post before this one (about exercising) because I'm not sure I will be able to complete my bootcamp due too other circumstances!
Although I LOVE this boot camp and I recommend it to anyone that needs a change of scenery, pace or if you don't have a membership.
My trainer is named Sam and he is a giant, graceful gazelle. Seriously. A big man that is light on his feet. It is scary.

They have other locations and they do offer co-ed. So if you are interested, I would definitely recommend you taking a looksies.

As a full-time employee I have extremely too much selfish me time on my hands. I found this new website that has me intrigued.
You can create your own collages, which are called “sets”, with your own theme. The application is very simple to use and all you have to do is sign up! So far no porno mail...
It is more or less a marketing scheme to show off fabulous, expensive clothing and accessories, but a ton of fun to design. Once you are finished you can "Publish" your set where other people can see your design and vote if they like it. They also can point on an item that is appealing to them and it will tell you the designer, the cost and a website where you can find it. Some of the items are actually inexpensive. I kept going astray visiting many different other designer websites that I should seriously keep my nose out of.
Anyways...
I designed around three of these “sets,” but since my computer is busy being a creep I can only show you one.
Now bear with me. This was my first one and it takes awhile for my creative juices to get flowing.
I added some yellow tint to it using the plain ole' program "Paint." I think it gave it some flare! Because of my lack of creativeness this took me about an hour and a half to create. I was playing the "I want that, no I don't" game for a good hour of that time. And yes, I get paid at work today.
In my fraught attempt to pinch a free Amy Butler purse pattern I discovered she already was kind enough to share some of them on her website! I thought I would share with you all just so you could probably beat me to a project that I will not get to until a get a bigger paycheck.
TADA!

I figured the Business Cards look cute enough that I might give them a try if I can decipher the million instructions it comes with. Who am I to complain about too many instructions? With my lack of creativity and useless hands, I NEED countless instructions along with pictures to understand even how to make dinner.

Since it has been over a month since my last post and I still haven't started my creative projects like I had hoped, I'm blessing you all with another recipe that Matt and I use on a weekly basis and always hits that pizza craving I always get.
You will need:
Pita flatbread
Can of tomato sauce
Canned chicken/or cooked chicken breast
Low-fat mozarella cheese
Italian seasoning
Red pepper flakes (if you want)
Any veggies to your taste (i.e. mushrooms)
Bake on 350 for 10 minutes!

I came across one of the most easiest, yummiest, (and healthy) quick chicken meal that I can't get enough of. All of you mommy's will like this as well!
I didn't take step by step pictures this time, but I think it is pretty self explanatory and you couldn't go wrong!
1 lb. chicken
1 bottle of light or fat-free italian dressing
1 c shredded wheat
(we used the large wheat in the cereal box)

Forgive me for the lack of style on my page because I am apparently XML challenged, but my creative side just sparked and we must make haste!
My mother and I have been eyeballing this latest headband fashion and I have found two beautiful, vintage flowers on eBay that would look absolutely amazing on a headband.
Okay, so maybe I nabbed the idea off of Etsy, but they weren't vintage flowers. They were strange bird feathers that just looked completely bizzare. I decided to go with a little bit more of a classic, but funky look that even I would wear, and I don't do headbands. 
Now, all I must do is hunt down some comfortable, wide-width headbands and viola! Cuteness all around.
If I find out my mother snatches this out from underneath me with her fancy skirt making ways, I will steal them from her.
smiles,
Olivia
