As we (ladies) all know finding a ‘girlie’ camera bag that doesn’t cost you the same amount that your (digital) camera did is nearly impossible. I actually found one that I liked, but at check-out found out they only ship with-in Canada! Argh! So I was back to square one when I found this blog posting so I thought I’d give stenciling a try. I had a camera bag that we had bought a while ago, but mainly used for our video camera and it was just a plain black bag so I thought “why not stencil something on this?” Well. didn’t quite work out how I thought it would. I’m not sure if it was the nylon the outside of the bag is made out of or the wonderful Texas humidity or both, but the paint came out sticky and even adding an extra 30 minutes to the required one hour waiting period didn’t help. Then I saw the Sharpie commercial and the light bulb went off! I went looking for a white sharpie…they don’t make a white sharpie! I decided to go with silver and it turned out to be a good choice.
So here is what my bag looked like before:

and here is my camera bag in progress:

The runes can be found here. I blew up the runes I wanted then cut them out and traced them with the sharpie because I am definitely not good at drawing free hand. lol I haven’t decided what to put in the middle. I was thinking I’d put the Cullen Crest there but I’m not sure it would come out right. I’ve got some other ideas I’m mulling over so this is definitely…

My son came to me last week with this magazine and said 'mama can you please put this somewhere' I thought it had just fallen off the magazine rack in the bathroom while he was brushing his teeth or something. So before we left that morning I put it back and that evening when it was time for him to take a shower he saw the mag again and said 'mom! Why is that magazine there? It's freaking me out!!' so I asked him what was making him freak out and he said 'that lady on the front, her face!' Sorry Gwen but you're freaking my son out! FYI on last month's cover was Jessica Simpson he had no problem with her! Lol

Or for today What She Wore Wednesday. I was running late this morning so I didn’t get to post this until now because of course son’s homework, cleaning, and oh yeah a lil nap came first. So here is what I wore: the top is from notations, I bought it at McClurkans which is no longer around and I’m wearing my Levi’s 515’s and Steve Madden shoes, which I found at Ross (I ♥ that place). A side note to the shoes I’m wearing, if you plan on being on your feet most of the day I do not recommend wearing these. I don’t know if that goes for all of his shoes, but I was constantly taking these off. So there you have it short and sweet today or I guess I should say tonight.                                                             

Have a great night!

Hello all! It's Wednesday! Finally! Seems like it took forever to get to this day for some reason or maybe it's just because I'm dreading Friday and Saturday. lol Well in honor of  yesterday being the first official day of

Fall, I decided to wear this lovely ensemble. I'll start at the bottom because, well hello, start with the shoes! Or in this case boots. These are yet another great budget conscience find: Payless!! Brand is called Lower East Side, so I can close my eyes and pretend I'm in NYC with my twitter peeps Sue Ann, Tangie and Michael. I'm once again wearing my mom jeans by Lee Rider, my top I bought from Dillard's and finally my long draped cardigan by Chaps for Kohls. So there you have it, my Ode to Fall.

I was hoping to read Vampire Diaries before the season premiere on the CW, but I was finishing up a book and didn’t get to it before the premiere so I watched the show first and thought it was ok. I wanted to know what was up with the crow since of course everyone i’m sure was thinking “isn’t that suppose to be a bat?” and if Elena really did have a psychic friend and if Damon really does bite someone and how they lived...
My friend Cari loaned me the book and I was finally able to start reading it, I had asked her some questions but didn’t want to bombard her with too many! Well…I didn’t even finish two chapters and I had to put it down. Elena was getting on my nerves! Book Elena and TV Elena are two totally different people and even the CW people could see that. BE is blond, beautiful and the girl everyone wants to be or be near and she knows it and cries about. Boo hoo for her. She's not getting any sympathy from me. TVE basically in a nutshell is Bella. I’m definitely in the camp that says Vampire Diaries was only made to ride Twilight’s coat tails. I'll give CW credit though, by changing Elena for TV they'll definitely be around longer than if they had stayed true to the book.

I’ll watch Vampire Diaries, but I’m not going to be sad if I miss it. I will not finish reading the book.

Well it's time for another installment of WWSWW! I can't believe it's already Wednesday! Yay! Well today was pretty basic since it's suppose to rain later this afternoon and my job involves walking. So with that in mind I decided to wear my Lee Rider jeans (always comfortable, but close to being 'mom jeans') and my boots that my hubby bought for me from Cavenders, I'll take a close-up pic of those later and finally my polo shirt from Academy, they have their own brand called Austin Clothing Company that's very comfortable and washes very well.
Have a great Wednesday!
