I have owed my friend Shawna a cuff for  an embarrassingly long time.    It's hard to make stuff for her because we get together and create art all the time... and she's so talented in her own accord, so I feel kind of silly making her stuff.  Hence the procrastination. So I decide for Christmas (yes, I realize it's nearing the end of January) that I would make her a cuff.  I spent forever

I am seriously considering recreating my 2007 Christmas Village Album set.  The first set I made as a revenue generating project because we really needed the money... but I regret selling it ever since.  I design these albums from conceptualizing the shape of the album, down to every fine detail.  They are truly one of a kind...  well, with the exception of my Gingerbread house, as a well known

I am DESPERATE to reclaim my garage...  so I am liquidating the remaining inventory of Rowdy Rocker Bags. My company took on liquidation of these bags for the Rowdy corporation as manufacture seconds.  Each bag started with minor flaws, which have been either corrected or noted to the buyer prior to purchase.  Most of the bags are in perfect condition, but are still sold at "second" prices.

When I read a really good book, I take notes and then tack them up where I will see them often.  I couple years ago I read The Last Lecture, by Randy Pausch.  These are some of my notes, and my Cam-isms. Criticism: When you're screwing up and nobody says anything to you anymore, that means they're giving up on you.  When you see yourself doing something badly and nobodies bothering to tell you

This summer I set a few goals...  See the original post here. 1. 50 "mens" push-ups in a single set. 2. Ten Chin-ups 3. get back to running 5k a day. And do it all before the end of the summer.  Summer official ends on September 23rd at 5:04am...  That means I'm running out of time.  This is all about accountability: 1. I can currently do 25 mens push-ups...  With 30 days to go I'm pushing

While I was in McCall, ID visiting my favorite antique store I came across a beautiful antique silver fork.  I bought it..  so I could make a fork bracelet.  I've been dragging my feet because I've never made a bracelet out of silverware... and I really wanted it to be good.   First I cleaned all the tarnish off, then headed out to the garage, and the bench vise.

When I was a senior in high school I was soooo tired of school.  Probably because it got in the way of boys, and dating boys, and looking at boys, and shopping.... so I looked good for boys.  And then there was work.  I worked from the very day I became legally able to hold a job.  At least 24 hours a week year round.  Yup, I was one of those girls who wasted all of the opportunities available

Sometime I begin to feel like the lady at the circus spinning plates.  It's mesmerizing and beautiful, but she never looks away.  Always spinning.

At one time... long long ago...The plates all started neatly stacked.

Lets face it, having a successful direct sales business can be challenging, but everyone has the opportunity to be successful.  A new direct sales business is like an infant that must be nurtured and grown in a supportive positive environment.  If you join up and expect buyers to flock to you without putting forth much effort you may find yourself discouraged and feeling like you've been misled.

I am willing to admit that I have a problem.  I seem to be addicted to the finding out the absolute worst that could have happen... First..  I have to go into detail about my last few weeks... because I'm a drama queen and I can't help myself. I got sick.  I had the flu.  :(  no fun.. but honestly other than that I didn't feel overly sick...  really tired, aches and pain, cough... typical flu

Do you ever feel it? That feeling like you could have... should have done better? Letting people down. You know, NOT the I'm just not going to try feeling... But the feeling of trying your best, feeling like you've done your best in the moment, but then after.... Seeing that you really could have done more... could have done better.  But now it's too late.  And you've missed it. Sucks sucks

So maybe it wouldn't be particularly effective to send large women's underwear to people who make me crazy, but sometimes....  man alive, it sure is tempting. There are days I need to have more patience and forgiveness for people.  Especially the ones who lie and cheat and steal....  Because.... aren't we all guilty of those sins to some degree at some time in our lives?

I've been all over town buying up all the best vintage necklaces, and jewlery findings....  I should have initial postings in my Etsy store (which has not been created yet) by Sunday night.  I am so excited... and nervous. In an effort to expand my color pallet I am making necklaces and naming them after my friend's color style..  Because my friends have GREAT style. I have also decided in

Sometimes I get a bit down and feel like everything is dark, and dreary.  It becomes all I can see. When I first wrote this post I was in that place.   I had convinced myself it had been dark for so long.  It's not a good place to be.  Now, I am in a better place, and I have revised most of this now that my vision is not so narrow.  I wrote out some of my timeline. 2007:  Pretty care free.

Which equals about 984 hours till Christmas Eve Subtract sleep at a realistic 7 hours per night, because I don't know anyone who actually gets 8 hours. 697 hours till Christmas Eve Minus the time we take to get ready in the morning, and time to get ready for bed at night: I'll be

That's what it feels like anyway.  The race to Christmas.  With so much to do and not enough time to do it. And me...  incapable of turning down a project. And so this morning I made a flower for my necklace. And this evening I will make about 30 more.  More to come....  Including my return to Etsy. xoxoCam

The Dress first. I LOVE to sew.  Sometimes I forget that I love to sew because I never have time for it.  When my daughter was born we gave her a special blessing and I made her a beautiful baby gown, the really super long old vintage style.  And so when she decided to be baptized I really wanted to make her a dress. In my limited time, I found this pattern.  It was close to what I wanted,

Here's a sneak peak, but you'll have to check over at Express the moment if you want a better look!This weekend: Camping. Then I seriously owe Teresa Collins... Seriously. And I've gotta make Jennica a dress.xoxo Love ya, Cam

This evening a friend of mine asked me, "What was your favorite part about Australia?"No question. Ali. My Best Friend, my Bestie, my Most Favorite Friend in the whole wide world.I wish my Ali lived next door, or even in town, even 200 miles away, or 500 miles away... but no, she's about 13,000 - 14,000 miles away... and really what's a 1,000 mile difference when your talking about that kind of

Check out what I made for Scarlet Lime as the guest designer for July:I am absolutely in love with this necklace. Favorite project of all time. Go check out the inspiration page at Scarlet Lime to see the details. While you're there be sure to check out the kits. They are amazing. Christy has such an eye for color and pattern. If you want one, be sure to get on the waiting list as they sell

I am so excited! I NEVER order swim wear online... truth is I rarely ever order clothing online. I have a hard enough time with fit in the stores.. seriously.. I've had three C-sections.. so things are not as "firm" or "high" as they use to be... But I saw this suit and I loved it so much I ordered it..It arrived in the mail, and the fit is GREAT!!!

My son Noah had his end of year, 4th grade, Orchestra Concert. It was so cute. All the kids were dressed up, and well mannered. Noah did great... Mostly he just looked handsome and studious.They played a lot of songs....I hope he keeps playing. My family did not grow up with music. My sister took piano lessons for a few years in elementary school.. and totally hated it. I had about 6 months

This is a tough post.I wish I had a fine way with words, but I don't. My writing is a little boring, full of grammatical errors and typos... and generally does not portray my thoughts and feelings very accurately...I have tried to figure out how to start this post three times now... writing, and erasing, and writing and erasing...

Every day at Brave Girls camp involves a low impact walk.The walks not only get us out and moving after all the stationary art projects, but they increase our metabolism so we can enjoy all the really amazing Brave Girls food.Fabulous opportunity for some introspective thinking.. or real bonding with other Brave Girls.Excersise gets those endorphines going. The walks are always so refreshing.((

Brave Girls Camp can be summed up in one simple statement:Life and Art retreats.And ohh...
