Craft Group!!!

Okay so I don't have any pictures of today's events but I finally organized a day for some crafters to meet up! I was a little nervous that I would be the only one there!! But 5 people came it it was SSSOO fun! A few of the people were my fellow bloggie friends Wet Paint, Craft Pig,and
Auntie Em. It actually really made my day. It really felt nice to meet people that I've been talking to on blogs, craftster, etc... Especially since they love the same things I do... CRAFTING!!! I was talking to my mom about it and I was like " Yeah I want to do it again tomorrow" hahahah! I pretty much didn't get anything done because I was being a chatty cathy but it was fun to see what everyone else was working on or made! Also I think I could eat The Gypsy Dens Caesar salad everyday of my life.... garbanzo beans and homemade croutons... mmmm.... Does that make me a horrible person for strategically meeting at a place I wanted to eat at??? HAHAHAHA probably... oh well! I can't wait to meet up again! Possibly before valentines day so we can make some cute little sweets! aka... the pin cushion/ scissor bauble I was talking about! hahah!



I really hope we can make this a regular thing!!! I would love to see everyone again and possibly meet some new people as well!!! Hip-Hip- HHHHHOOOOOOORRRRRAAAYYY... (Yes I am that lame)

This is totally off subject but I thought I would add it to this post... other things I am 100% loving right now... is this book, Hello Cupcake



Most cookbooks or craft books I only like half of the stuff... this book... I LOVE EVERYTHING... Every cupcake is SO CUTE!! the pictures are to die for! They are just fun and make me all fuzzy inside!! Who knew a pringle, gumdrop, and pretzel could made the cutest cowboy hat ever!!! I suggest this book if you are looking for cute quirky cupcakes that will blow everyone away!! The ideas in this book are amazing!

Today was horrible and wonderful at the same time. Ol Shwan and I had a DENTISTA appointment! I hate the flippin' dentist! Good news... NO CAVITIES!!! So we got are tartar removed and went to the Gypsy Den, santa Ana swollen gums and all!!! MMMMM.... I don't even know how to explain the Gypsy Den.... its just one of the coolest yummiest cafes I know... The atmosphere is laid back and easy going... the lights are so dim you can hardly read the menus, none of the chairs or tables match, there are persian looking carpets on the floor and random artwork filling the walls from ceiling to floor... like clutter chic! but who cares about what it looks like.... the food is sssooooo YUMMY!!! The salad is my fav... homemade cruotons !!! DELISH!! It was open mic night so we stayed for a few hours listening to Johnny Cash wannabes... it was fun to say the least!!!

I have a few new ideas that I am working on and hope to show you soon! Other then that... I also have a few new ideas for my blog.... Should be great!!!
