J'Adore

I'm not sure why I posted a photo of the Lesser Mouse-Deer other than j'adore.  

So my life has taken a different road than I had expected when I started this blog. I had intended on blogging frequently about my many crafty endeavors. I have made some crafts but certainly not the way I wanted to. I'm still obsessed with Pintrest  and the whole DIY community (Uncovet and Etsy are fabulous!) My lack of posts rests with some unfortunate turn of events in my life (heinous arm surgery in Dec) that have actually led to greater things that I've put off but now am finding again (I once was lost but now am found) My TV Show Home Plate ; a cute childrens book that my cat Meowschwitz and her sister Blu helped me to realize (click on the links for their pages lol)

Theres also my french tumblr ; aboutME; my cookbook with a friend that through this process has become a best friend (check back - we'll have it updated with some exciting news)

Thats just to name a few....and I'm finally away from the area we lived in that was bringing me down! We're on our way back to LA

OFF TOPiC

I've been so busy since I last posted. Its weird even writing when I don't have many readers lol. I've put my childrens book and cookbook on hold (and my DIY obsession for that matter) to focus on my show I've been working on for 3 years! It's called Home Plate....I'll leave some linky links so you can get the little ditty (parents were huge JCM fans)

I think the logo's pretty rad (yes I said rad) 

I'm in the process of making the sizzle reel for the show - pretty stoked to have Bobby Valentine

co-host the sizzle with me. Its been a passion of mine for so long that I can't help but share this information with people and hope they like the idea as much as I do! Sports and Food are two of my favorite things in the world (thats why I'm currently writing a cookbook!)

Best of all its charity driven - if I'm blessed with success I want to pay it forward! So please please please consider donating some money for the sizzle reel....any leftover funds will go to my pet charity (ASPCA - get it with whole PET reference)

Chalk Pen

If you're like me you're obsessed with chalk paint (I like to make my own). I was walking through JoAnn Fabrics the other day (Michael's is better - dang you for being further away) and stumbled upon a chalk pen. I had heard *or rather read* some rumblings about this product on other blogs. Now I have yet to try it out, but I'm wicked excited enough about it to write this post that has nothing no DIY project attached to it lol. 

Pandora's Box

One day I stumbled upon Pintrest and from moment one I was hooked. Here was a way to bookmark every inspiration I needed for things from clothing to DIY'in my life. The best part you ask?! There's no need to save millions of bookmarks onto Chrome that doesn't always send you straight to the item, article or photo you saved it for. Pintrest fixed all of that - you pin a photo and go to your page and VOILA! - it sends you straight to where you want to go. 

I call Pintrest Pandora's Box....its both euphoric and yet addicting to the point where I spend most of my day pinning a craft instead of executing it. BUT it also opened me up to this wonderful world of blogging....

So while I should be doing other things I'm going to enjoy the wide world of DIY'in!
