Where did the time go!

Been absent for several days I know.
My health has been effecting me and I fell off the vegan/no processed food, no sugar, no butter, no salt, no wheat, no nuts...wagon with the holidays!
Ugh...I should have known better. I haven't been back just yet and I can feel how I actually "don't feel that great" not not eating. Heh, I felt like i was starving with all the NO's to that elimination foods session trying to figure out what I'm eating that I've been so allergic to. Even after a month I was still cheating with a few raw almonds or a piece of toast now and then...I gotta get back on the NO foods wagon.
lol
I'll feel better if not just HUNGRY all the time again!
:P
There must be a TON of foods that I am eating that I don't realize I'm allergic to...meaning veggies and beans. I stopped eating beans but I now think there are a lot of veggies I'm reacting to.
Eating organic is EXPENSIVE!
Mama's gotta sell some flowers so I can still juice my organic carrot and apple juice all day long!
LMAO!
I've been throwing a kale leaf in for more power but it isn't my favorite taste...I used 2.5 pieces before but it was really "I have to get used to this taste" kinda thing so, I'll just do 1 leaf.
Hey, 6 times a day isn't bad.
Started all this in November and fell off this month in the beginning so I'll be back this week.
I just crave the salt I think the most.
Although, this "week" if you know what I mean, I was craving chocolate and sushi!
...yeah, I ate Organic free trade dark chocolate and some eel on a bed of rice.
Geeze, it was everything I hoped for and more...
*sigh*
LOL!!!!

Well, I'm back and I hope everyone had a wonderful New year and boy do I have fun stuff to share coming up!!!

FABULOUS Gift Ideas!!!

So, as always there will be that last minute gift for that HARD TO BUY FOR person!
As terrible as this is...I think a few of my gifts are going to be late!
Eh, I just think of it as it stretches the fun of gift giving!!
LOL!!!

Here are some fabulous items I just wanted to share by some Amazingly talented artist!!!

With this cold weather I can't stop looking at scarves! Anything warm, snugly and stylish! I personally would LOVE to have an assortment of styles to choose from in my drawer so I think this is a great idea for gifting!
Have you seen this beautiful scarf by FoxyGknits? The color is GORGEOUS! Plus, soft and luxurious chenille feels SO wonderful against the skin! ...AND it's ON SALE!!!
Hand Knit Ladies Fashion Burgundy Scarf - Bold and Beautiful


If your person loves photography how about this Fine Art Photo "Roses" As a person that LOVES color beyond words...I ADORE black and white photography. The only 2 large framed pieces I have ever hung in my apartment(s) were both black and white! I just really like the placement and composition of this piece.


This is a new item from BellflowerTextiles and I think it's a marvelous idea for the little artist! I think it's a perfect bag to put coloring books, drawing paper or simply reading materials for your little one! No searching around for the box of crayons when you can have everything in one place and they can feel grown up carrying it themselves! I would have loved one of these when I was little to drag all my drawing stuff around in!
Crayon Tote - Red Posies


Of course I had to share something from my favorite Button Shop GeekDetails
Now, you can't tell me that you haven't had a moment that this would have been perfect to wear?!!!!
C'mon! It's FUNNY!!!!!
If you can read this, you're in my Aggro Range 2.25 inch pinback button


For the Papillon Lovers out there you NEED this! Ok. Maybe not NEED but it sure is SUPER CUTE!!!! Makes me want one or at least I want to pet it! Look at that face!!!!
Papillon


FInally, Talk about GORGEOUS! For the splurge investment gift...maybe for yourself...hey, YOU are WORTH IT!!! Or a super fabulous present for someone you care about... I can't even begin to do anything but drool over the colors and sheer craftsmanship! Amazing!!!!
Peacock Paisley Necklace


As always i LOVE to share wonderful items I find.
This is merely one more post of fantastic items by such a talented group of people!
I'll be sharing more Fantastic Finds so definitely come back soon!!!

Allergic Reactions are not fun!

Sorry I have been AWOL for a while...had an allergic reaction to an eczema cream that has had me miserable for over a week now!
NOT FUN!!!
I can't concentrate!
I feel like I can't sit still because of all the itching all over!
I'm also wondering if the Silicea that my homeopath has me taking is causing my skin to be irritated and inflamed too.
Nothing like wanting to ice my face!

So, I'm going to try and write some interesting posts to make up for my lost time!

So Romantic!

OH!
SO ROMANTIC and PRETTY! I just had to SHARE!
Look what I found over at Style Me Pretty!

I just LOVE artistically creative cakes! It truly amazes me every time I see such craftsmanship. This delicious delight is by Nicki's Cakes
I just took a look through the cake gallery! Just Amazing!!!! I don't know if I would want to eat them!

SHOP OF THE WEEK: Yarncoture

Welcome to the SHOP OF THE WEEK: Yarncoture.

In this shop you will find so many wonderful knitted delights! I love the selection of merchandise ranging from various styles of neckwear all the way to cute Baby slippers and stylish Newsboy hats!
OK. HOW CUTE IS HE in this hat??!!!!!
Cool Cotton Newsboy Hat/Unisex Tan Beige Color


A self-taught knitter, Maryum's passion for her craft is another source of inspiration. "there's always a new technique, stitch pattern, a new yarn fiber, or design to try or learn. I love the way the yarn feels as it glides off my knitting needles or how quickly I can crochet a beautiful flower. I also love the fact that I have been teaching my 2 daughters to knit and crochet, and have even featured some of their finished pieces in my shop! Being able to pass these ancient crafts down to my daughers has truly been a joy! "

I just LOVE these Vintage inspired fingerless gloves!
RETRO - VICTORIAN KNIT CUFFS / In CHARCOAL GRAY w/ Vintage OOAK Metal Button Accents


What I really enjoy is the true variations of styles she carries for neckwear! So many colors and styles! I thought I'd share a few:
I just LOVE orange!
