Embracing your Fabulous-ness

fab⋅u⋅lous

The dictionary defines fabulous as" almost impossible to believe, incredible: exceptionally good or marvelous"
How many of us would adopt the word fabulous as a descriptor of our persons? We can accept compliments like "Your dress is fabulous!" or "My you look fabulous"; But try this on for size...
I AM FABULOUS! did you cringe as you read it? try saying it out loud! I wonder what would happen if you made a commitment to say that everyday to yourself out loud .
Would it silence that inner critic that is always throwing doubt into the mix? Would it bolster your confidence in ways you couldn't imagine? Would it cause you to step out in faith to do something you have wanted to do, but never had the courage? Well, let's find out.
I challenge you to 30 Days of FABULOUS-ITY!

CHA Craft SuperShow

Well, this weekend was the first CHA Craft Supershow open to the public and what a great time we all had! The glitter was flying, the paint was squirting, the scrappers were scrapping, and everyone was learning new techniques and getting hooked on new crafts! I met so many wonderful people and even got to chat and have my picture taken with Traci Bautista, one of my all time favorite artsy graffiti divas and Kathy Cano-Murillo, aka "Crafty Chica"who can make glitter your new best friend. What wonderful talented generous women! So, with my creative tank on full I will be putting it into high gear in my studio!! After I get a good nights sleep!

a couple of my many handbag designs

I call this "Flight of Fancy" because it was inspired by a pile of fabrics on my design table, and an afternoon visitor outside my window.

I call this my "Cute As A Button" bag for obvious reasons. It was my first crocheted bag and i just made it up as I worked. I'm pretty pleased with how it came out!
