San Francisco Super bowl Fun!

GREAT day for a GAME! Especially the SUPER BOWL!

My team since I was a Youngin' is in it for the First time in 18 years!

WHEW!!!!  It's not even real to me!!!! The ALL MIGHTY SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS VS. The Baltimore Ravens. It's going to be intense, and I love it!

I decided since the last time they went, it was a big ol' ordeal in my household.... We are a family that is split down the middle of the Bay area Teams. Half and half... the 49ers and the Raiders. I thought that I'd do up the same for this time, and whip up some Spirit filled fun things for the Big day!!!

First up... Cupcake / Sandwich picks....

I printed out some "SF" Logos to cut out, and tape to the back of tooth picks. Pretty simple, and it adds so much ;)

Next up... My SPARKLY Golden High heels!!!

Before:

Glitter Blasted....

Ready.....

Needed a bit more glitter, so I Glued some more on, and sealed it!

Tule, earring clips, and netting... it's ON!

Adding some SPARKLE!!!!!

never too much!

WAAHHHHH LAH!!!! 

Next... My DIY Nails... Featuring the Golden Gate Bridge Silhouette ;)

I had to spruce up my Earrings too! 

GOOO NINERS!!!!!!!!

Win or Loose, Of Course, I'm Faithful, and FANATIC! HAPPY Game day All!!!!

Congratulations to my Sister! GRADUATION DAY Crafts and Love!

Ok, I've got my jams on, and I'm Ready to ROCK and ROLL!

So, On June the 6th, 2012, My Sister, The youngest of 5 kids, graduated from high school. I remember that time in my life. The WORLD is OURS for the taking. EVERYTHING is in front of you. You ALWAYS heard "Don't take your youth for granted, You'll miss it" of course in MY case, I DID take it for granted, but, I know now, and I'm a better person for it.

I decided to make LOTS of home made stuffs for this special occasion. The story behind our immediate family is that we all took our own paths and left the coop. Whenever something like this happens, Its SO Refreshing to come together and Just have a GRAND ol' time!

I decided to make her some candy lei's and colorful cup cakes, and OF COURSE, whats a Graduations without Cool and Glittered Signage?

First up, the CANDY Lei's....These have been done for YEARS and YEARS. I remember making my other sister these for her 8th grade graduation with chocolate kisses, and they came out FABU!

Here are the supplies:

•Candies (Don't EVER be afraid of color)
• Plastic Wrap
•Gift Ribbon
•Cool Printed Duct Tape

Make your pattern... By Color, Size, etc...

I found that the EASIEST candies to do this with was the EVER POPULAR MAMBAS, because they are Square shaped and ooohhh sooo gooood!

I took the gum balls out of the wrapper and they went nicely.

WAH LAH! Here's the finished... and one for my Nephew, because he MADE it to FIRST grade... I HAD to ;)

Miss BEAUTIFUL and I  showing off her Glory! I added some ZEBRA Duct Tape around some of the candies to SPRUCE it up a bit. You can add touches too ;)

Secondly, Cupcakes... The pictures explain my process, so here goes ;)

Her signage... I went to TOWN with the Glitter, Don't be afraid, other than the fact that there will be PERMANENT Glitter in your carpet, Like mine if your not careful... I got some Foam core at the dollar store and cut the sheets in half, and taped some beach wood to the back for a GRADUATION Picket sign! Check it!

Our Nephew was SO proud!

and Finally, this was my gift to her... Some of my words of wisdom, and a daily Reminder that the World is HERS! 

Love you mamasita!

I for one am SO very proud of my Munchkin, and have all of the hope in the world for a Happy and loving life. CONGRATULATIONS Vicky! DREAM HUGE!

NATIONAL SIBLINGS DAY

This is a Movie NEAR and DEAR to our hearts.

Happy National Siblings day !

I don’t know about you, but today I heard and read that they are trying to make this, NATIONAL SIBLINGS DAY,  as acknowledged as Mothers/fathers day, and I think it’s a Swell Idea. 

Naturally, If you’re an only Child, You don’t Have BLOOD Siblings, however, I believe, YOU make your own... Whether they be cousins, child hood Neighbors, or elementary - to - high  school – to - Adult chums...

Having Siblings is the best thing out there.

 To Me, mine are extensions of what make me the person that I am.

To this day, I talk to AT LEAST one of them EVERY day. Doesn't matter how close or far apart you are in age or distance.... 

They are made up of the same “cocktail” that makes YOU up...

So, Not only today, but EVERYDAY, I’d like to send out some EXTRA special LOVE to my GORGEOUS siblings....
Michael, Vannesa, Andrew, and Victoria Villarreal


They are the PERFECT mix of crazy, Talkative, Jovial, caring, and OUTSTANDING. When we were younger, we lost one of our own, Andrew, and not a day goes by that he is not fluttering around each one of us, making sure we strive for GREAT and happy in this life. I know in my heart of hearts, he sent down Vicky for us as a constant reminder that we only have this one life, so, there is GREAT joy that needs to be made. ANYTIME I need them and they need me, We are there, for each other. We are as strong of a unit as they come, and No matter what, I wouldn't trade them for ANYTHING. 

Support, Love, Happy, and Honesty. 
FELIZ DIA DE HERMANOS!

Affirmations

My Mornings always start off with some sort of Affirmations. 


Has any one ever tried saying Affirmations? A sort of “Statement” of what your life has given you, or what you would like for it to be.
I say them and use them daily in my every day life. They assist me into the person I  am and would CONTINUE to be. 


To grow, and flourish into a better ME.

It gives me MY own hope that this life will be grand and unique. I think I am where I am because of what I believe. In myself. If there is ever any trouble, or doubt, or personal insanity in any aspect in your life, try it. It doesn’t’ hurt. My method is simple, direct, and effective. I wanted to write about this today because I know there are SO many issues and problems in this world, and in our own day to day routines. There is no room for negativity or crazy, (Well, Maybe a little Crazy, but the good crazy)

Here are some things to say (My Method is to say them out loud, it’s More effective)

*This day WILL be GREAT. This day I will Love myself and others that need me
