Rant for the month...

I realized I have given up on blogging lately. For me its hard to write about something every day or every other day. I am not the greatest, but I do love to do it when I can. I am just really focused on getting my Etsy Shop running strong and getting new product to sell. Blogging is just something I like to do in my spare time, its nice, but at the same time it kinda sucks because not many people read my posts now. I want to thank all of the people who follow me and still encourage me to do what I can with my business. There is nothing I love more, than feedback and peoples support!

Right now I am at the point in my life where I am crying out to God for help. I have been struggling with so much and I am so blessed to have a great husband to back me up.
The last few months have been hard for me because I lost a ton of hours at work due to a back injury, not only that but my mom has been off for 2 months and my husband was off for a few days. We have been struggling to pay our bills or even buy ourselves really cheap food. Like right now, I have $1 to my name until thursday...I have never been so scared of how we are going to survive for 6 more days. I know I just have to keep reminding myself that God will supply all our needs!!!
So if anyone reads this, just keep us in your prayers. Hopefully I will find a new job soon, so that I won't have to worry about money problems anymore.



I know that there will always be issues with money but I really don't think that what I have been going through will continue. Right now my main goal is for me and my husband to FINALLY move out of my mothers house. Its kind of hard at the moment seeing as I am really behind in bills that I owe her and now that I don't have much money coming in its super hard. I wish I could explain this situation to everyone so I could get advice but I know its something that I have to just suck up and deal with.


Within the next few months I am going to be working super hard on putting items in my Etsy shop, that way I can have some sort of money, maybe, come in. Please take a look at it and add it to your "FAVORITES" so that you can see all the latest Kreations :)

Thank you!! - Kayla

It's Tuesday again which means it's time for the GFC Blog Hop!

When I want to follow a blog the first thing I look for is GFC (Google Friend Connect), it's so easy and  nice to be able to go and see all of the blogs you follow in one spot. It's really a great tool to have. 

One side note- Did you know you can follow through GFC using your Twitter Account? TRUE, it's definitely an option!

Ok, so let's get to the party, shall we?

RULES are simple:

1. Follow your host via GFC
The First link below

2. Follow your co-hosts via GFC
The Next 8 links below

3. Link up below using your main blog url not a specific post.

4. Make sure to visit some of the blogs in the link up and follow them via GFC 
and if you want to leave them a comment, I'm sure they'd appreciate that as well.

5. Tweet about this blog hop

6. Share about this blog hop by grabbing a button and putting it on your sidebar!

Losing Creativity?!

After this mad Christmas rush of ornament orders I feel like I am now stuck in a not-so-creative world. I feel like I have lost all creativity after all the hard work. I mean seriously what do you do in that type of situation?? I feel like I am stuck doing the same things over and over.

I look at all my stamps and embellishments and just feel like I have done it all before. I don't like creating things that I have all ready made, I don't like making 2 of the same cards unless my customer wants me too. I am the type of person where I want to create the best for my customers. I keep everything low in cost so everyone is able to afford them. All I want is to bring something new to my shop and something that will bring joy.

I think what I need to do is sit back and let God restore me and let the creative juices flow back through my veins ;) Only He can help me, and I know He will. Maybe there is something SO incredibly awesome in store for me that I have to wait a little while longer for.

Just a short rambling post ;)

I am just a little SPOILED!

I was incredibly blessed for my birthday and Christmas this year! I can now say that I am a proud owner of a Macbook Pro! I don't think I could have been happier to get it! I cried my eyes out in the Apple store while my mom told me we were in there for my new laptop. Of course the first thing I did with it was take goofy pictures on Photo booth!



Well now besides getting blessed with one of the greatest gifts on earth, I was also given a lot of gift cards and cash, so with that I got myself a Keurig! I got the one that has 5 different cup sizes and you can program it to a certain time that you want your coffee. I love the fact that there are so many choices like, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, apple cider, iced coffee or tea... 


I am absolutely in LOVE with this thing! SO many options and yummy choices! If you own a Keurig, you know what I am talking about, seriously the best! 

Tell me what your favorite K-cup flavors are! I would LOVE to know so I can try them out myself!! And if you have any advise for me as far as my Macbook goes, please help this girl out! I have never owned one and would love some help! :D

God has blessed me so much this year and I couldn't be more thankful! <3 p="p">

Work = Being Blessed

So I have some amazing news...

This year alone (in 2 months) I sold 10 dozen ornaments! Completely sold out of them! I have so many people still asking and wanting more for after Christmas. Praise God! I had 9 Etsy sales so far and so much more to post on there.

Just a few of the orders I send out :)

I have been working 30+ hours at my first job as a cake decorator and when I get home I work on orders for the rest of the night. So I work about 60+ hours a week. I have had no time for blogging or doing to much of anything else. I am trying my hardest to keep you all updated and coming out with some new exciting things but I just have so much going on.

Just a few of the Owl ornaments I sold

Also, I got a brand new Macbook Pro for my birthday/ Christmas gift this year. I was blessed with it because I needed one for my business since my HP mini broke down. I am still getting use to it since I have never owned a Macbook. So any helpful tips would be nice, feel free to help me out :)

I am thankful for all the business that I have had this year, without it, I wouldn't have been able to buy any Christmas gifts or taken care of some of my bills. God works in such awesome ways! Thank you all for the support and your patience!
