Updated Store + Life Updates

I've reopened my online store for everyone to see, I've only added a few resale items that aren't handmade. I plan on adding handmade items but for now while I practice getting better I've added some resell items. These resell items are things I've acquired over time and I hope you guys like them. You can find them at The Lillypad. Also any purchases goes towards supporting my boyfriend and I's home that we will be getting coming May 15th.

Video Games

I've been off of my blog for a while because video games have really taken up a lot of time. I know they sound pointless but honestly I take them pretty seriously with hours of work being put into playing them. I wanted to start recording my video games on my computer so I could start on my youtube channel with something I love. I don't however, have the programs nor do I have the funds to do this and it's frustrating because this is what I really would like to do.

I don't have a lot to say on this blog but I will later on!

Little House of Crafting Product Review

I've ordered a couple times from Little House of Crafting and I love the products that you can get. The shop itself comes with a huge variety of products that you can get, themed or not, and also has a custom option for buttons and magnets. The store also does bulk buy which I think is pretty awesome. The buttons I bought were a custom button and a keep calm button that are both what I wanted and are great quality. The pin on the back was simple to open and shut with very little effort.

Most of the buttons are about $2.00 with the only exception being $2.25 for the custom button. Shipping is $3.00 for 1 button, and since that's usually all I buy at a time I'm not sure if the shipping increases with more items but that's what I know so far. Another thing I like is the fact on each invoice the owner of Little House of Crafting writes a small note.

Awaiting Packages

I ordered something from Little House of Crafting (again) and I'm still awaiting it in the mail. She shipped it on time but USPS is being backed up at the moment and it's a day past the due date for the packages arrival but since it's Sunday I'm hoping I get it tomorrow. I plan on doing a review on the products I got from Toni's store and I also ordered from Shadow Town (...again) and I plan on also reviewing their products, I've reviewed their products once before here on my blog called Snake Ear Cuff this time I was a bit disappointed by Shadow Town because I ordered something that was listed as In Stock but they were out of stock and had to refund me. They haven't removed that product either so no one buy this necklace because they're out of stock although they have it still listed. Hopefully the bracelet I've ordered from them arrives safely and without problems.

I ordered a few things off of Amazon about a week ago that should be arriving in February since they're coming from Japan. I've seen good reviews on this store so I'm hoping that don't just take my money and not give me my products because honestly I'll be pretty mad. I was wondering if anyone would like a tutorial on the candies that I ordered? One if Poppin Cookin Sushi House and the other is Nerunerunerune which I'm super excited to get. If you want a tutorial please +1 this post. 

Not Really Sure

I'm not 100% sure what to think at the moment. I moved out with my boyfriend into his family's home around Christmas Eve and of course there's been drama but it was going good. Then his step-dad (who honestly I hate with a passion but is grateful for letting me move in) comes out and say that he doesn't want to feed us anymore and that we have to fend for ourselves from now on. Honestly, we rarely eat anything here so we don't take up their money, when I get paid from working I buy our drinks and our snacks. The only thing we eat from them is DINNER which is supposed to be a family thing but then they go out and leave us with nothing. They often take everyone somewhere and leave my boyfriend and I here by ourselves while they go out. We haven't had water in about a week now so we all haven't been able to bathe since we have nowhere to go to bathe and the landlord was kind enough to let them go and bathe but they wouldn't take us. They basically are treating us like garbage when they treat their 15year old like he's a prince and I'm barely a year older than him. I understand my boyfriend is 19, he needs a job yes he doesn't need to sit around and do nothing but I'm still a minor. They're basically refusing to feed me and him.

They haven't acted like this before and it's literally all of a sudden. It's putting unneeded stress on us because we haven't done anything wrong besides try to inform them about the fact their 1 and 5 year olds are playing near the top of our flight of stairs with strollers that can roll of the top step, where they're playing, and kill themselves. They are making us feel like we're worthless when we've done nothing but HELP.

Welcome 2014

 I haven't been using my blog much lately but that's simply because at the moment I have quite a bit going on and I haven't really had the muse to blog about anything. I figured now is probably the best time to catch up on what I haven't been doing so be prepared for probably the longest blog post I've ever posted.

1. New Years Resolution

I normally don't do these types of things since they're rarely ever kept but I figured I'd give it a go this year. So my crafting NYR is going to be to update my blog weekly, purchase items from my favorite stores and review that store (there will be one coming up within the next couple weeks) and finally, start reviewing tasty snacks that my boyfriend and I buy from around the world.

2. Holidays!
My holidays went relatively well surprisingly, I finally moved out my moms house and into my boyfriends house where I don't have to buy my own food so that saves me some money. I got a lot of awesome gifts for Christmas including fleece pjs and a fleece throw blanket!

3. Something Bad :(

Few days ago boyfriend, little brother, and I all got held at gunpoint and mugged. My boyfriend is seriously suffering the worse since he's never been in that situation before with nightmares and he keeps feeling the barrel of the gun to his head. I wish I could've done something about it but they would've seriously hurt us or worse.

That's really all I have to say because that's the most that's been happening. I'll talk to you guys later on maybe, hope you guys are having an awesome 2014 so far.
