Hello everyone I have not been on my blog…or facebook… or twitter in a lonnng time.  I’m just recently getting back to ‘routine’ I guess you can say.  Here is where (normally) the person absent would say how busy he or she was.  But not I.  I have been a bum these past months, it’s sad.  Although I have been exercising and keeping up with it lately, that’s one accomplishment!  I also got my driver’s license (finally)! I have been heavily struggling with my Etsy shop I must not be doing something right, or Etsy just isn’t for me unfortunately.  It’s a shame though, I worked pretty hard on it too. 

But anyway, I went to New York City yesterday!  Every time I go (and I know I will sound like a New York City groupie) I feel like I belong there.  I always regret never really applying to the many other New York Schools.  But ahh well.  I crossed (well not exactly, I walked like 3/4ths of the way) the Brooklyn Bridge. It was pretty awesome I must say  I walked half way on the bridge fearless, until my sister told me to look down.  I almost had a heart attack!  I had no idea the walkway was 1. Made from wood, and 2. Had gaps!!! I saw straight down!  I didn’t realize we were very far up until I saw the tiny little people walking down underneath.  I couldn’t believe I was scared of heights >.<  But then I might be on level 1 lol, because I continued to walk in my disbelief about how high up I was.  It was definitely an experience!

After that ‘adventure’ we walked all the way down to Canal St.  I had no idea that was considered Chinatown and how close Chinatown was (even though it is in Chinatown)  When I went with my friends, I thought I was wayyyy out some other place.  I love New York.  I definitely sound like a groupie lol >.< I told my mother about how I felt like I ‘belong there’ and she said “I guess so, You went to New York everyday for the 9 months I carried you” lol.  

But unfortunately, I am back here, it South Jersey.  Blahhh.  I can’t wait to graduate and get outta here!!! lol.  It’s only a matter of time

School is going to start!!!! FINALLY!  I was sooo soooo bored these months (well not totally) but school gives me something to do (I bet two weeks in I’m going to look forward to Winter Break).  I am really excited to go back though.  I really hope I make some new friends and come out of my shell more.  Now my blog is getting boring lol, so I will talk to you lattaaa!  Adios

Speaking of the East Coast weather, IT’S TOO HOTT!!! I am known for hating summer, for this reason exactly, I hate the feeling of being hot. I rather be cold watching movies wrapped around a blanket.. or… err… the blanket wrapped around me. I like snow, although I hate it when it gets under your 50 million layers of clothing when you shovel and it’s so hard to get it out D: But still, it’s way better then sweating just by going to the mailbox to pick up some mail! I also am not a fan of wearing shorts… I always feel so naked wearing shorts, it’s weird I know lol. Capris are ok, but they only do so much. What to do… what to do?

Anyways I am outtie, I want to make some things.. but the motivation just isn’t there. I wish there was some magical formula to make your Etsy prosper lol. I can’t wait for school to start, I am dying in this boredom pot. I hope you have an awesome day

I’ve made some new things and I would like to list them tomorrow morning Check them out

I need to find some people to model my things… since I am VERY UN-photogenic.. it sucks.. but ah well, it’s much easier taking pictures of others rather than yourself

In other news, my business cards came in the mail, like 3 weeks ago, but I’m finally blogging about it :].  They came out awesome!
Right now I am in the process of cleaning out the old computer room and making it into my new ‘work’ area, I’m very excitied! Maybe now my room can be a little more cleaner. I would show you some pictures of the mess we….I made, but that would be embarassing lol, slowly but surely we are getting there!  Anyways short blog, but until next time, cya

I finally have a semi-neat working place for my sewing ‘room’.  Now I am trying to get all the jewelry supplies all nice and neat as well   I really need this, It’s annoying having to look for everything when you want to make something.  Sometimes I just lose the motivation and all, have you ever felt like that?  Lately I have been doing nothing, except moping around… how productive.  Anyways not too long ago I made some ‘mini-tags’ to go on some of my items, My process was design a small tag, print them out in reverse on T-Shirt Transfer paper ( I had the cheap kind ), and then iron it on to some small ribbon, and wa-la! Mini Tags.  I also put Fray Check on the ends to stop the ravelling and yea.  Here are some pictures :

I will also be uploading some new items to my etsy store Stay tunedd!! Have a great day, and if you have any suggestions of any sort, I would love to hear them

I opened my etsy site not to long ago.  I’m so excitied but so axious.  It’s so much harder to promote your shop I find. I see everyone with 8 billion sales and it’s so cool, one day I hope I get like that… But for now, I will be happy with one sale as of now making my total sales amount go up to 2! lol >.< But it’s better then nothing   I’m mostly worried right now.  Like a self consious teen “Do I look ok?  I don’t think he likes me?  OMG someone is talking about me? WHAT DO I DO?” sort of stuff. lol.  I should take my mind off… by making more items. I should yes?  Yes I should lol.  Anyways my aunt bought alot of items from me last Saturday.  I am happy about that, but at the same time I’m like “NoooO!!! I love you don’t, leave meeee!” lol.  I’ve had them for so long it’s sad to see them go, but it’s also good

Anyways I’m off to list some more items and making things   check out my etsy shop when you get a chance!  http://www.neonfaze.etsy.com

PLEASE EXCUSE THE PICTURE QUALITY, I didn’t want to upload big files, and please excuse the styling lol, if I styled each one I would never get around to putting them up D: I’m so slowww lol.

Duckiiieee

The boat ride was fun, although there was really not much to see…

I called myself trying to face my fear of roller coasters… but we never got on one *phew* lol

This begins part 2.. or day 2 rather. We went to the Williamsburg Colonial…uhh… Place? I cannot recall the name But this is the walkway, I thought it was pretty clever because they had little facts of things people didn’t have or tolerated.. for instance one said no television! D: lol and below:

This is where I learned so much! The guy talked forever and we couldn’t sit so my back/legs…er’thanngg was hurting lol. But it was well worth it.

Mankala!! This was in one of ‘houses’ in the (what was called) Slave Quarters.

We then went to the Governor’s Mansion… That place was great!! It was very beautiful and ..and wow, I want a house like this one day.

I wish I took better pictures of the garden, it was HUGE! And so beautiful!

I was obsessed with this, I want it in my garden one day… When I learn to keep plants alive -.-

The next day we went back to the same place, and caught a reenactment of America slowly gaining it’s independence from the British. It was interesting. This was Arnold Benedict.. everyone booed haha

Soo yep, that’s pretty much it… Also is anyone offering free advertising? OR Link Exchanges? Please let me know! Have a good day!

I also entered into a contest! Liption Brisk was holding a contest for Emerging Artists, my submission has been accepted!! Now I need votes, voting will start May 3rd through May 14th! I would really REALLY appreciate the votes. You can vote here: Lipton Brisk Facebook Page. Please don’t forget

As for neonFAZE, I have ALOT of ideas! I can’t wait to get them all started . I also found this fabric shop that is super cheap. IT MADE MY LIFE! I swear I’ve never been so happy in my life.. well that’s a lie.. but you get my point.

Is anyone up for some link exchanges?

Have an Awesome day

So, how was your Valentine’s Day? I wanted to make some things for Valentines Day… but obviously that didn’t happen :/ Mine was cool, I went to go pick up some family to bring back home… now I wish they’ll leave.. haha. just kidding. I went to New York City on Friday, it was awesome… as usual lol. The thing that really amazed me was how close I was to Fashion Week Program.. thingy… I WAS RIGHT OUTSIDE THE TENT!!!!! And this model came out and I was instantly blinded by camera flash -.-…but it’s all good! It was very awesome, I was so excited.. even thought there was really nothing to be excited about :/ I will get invited in one day… haha not.

Also, yesterday, I went to the Jersey Gardens and bought some awesome clothes! And they are definitely different from what I normally wear… but they are great! I will definitely take some pictures… even though I’m not in the best shape to take pictures >.< The camera hates me I swear lol.

I have alot of things planned for neonFAZE I want to start making some tutorials and such, hopefully I succeed, I also have alot of ideas for some products. I hope you guys stay tuned! I also really need to blog alot more frequently Also, if you have any suggestions on anything please feel free to email me

So I made my very first sale a couple of weeks ago! I was very very happy! I hope to make a new sale soon! I also have many products waiting to be listed! I just have to wait for a good day to take some nice pictures of them.

If you don’t mind me asking (since I am new to this) what do you prefer to see on a DIY blog?

Thanks for stopping by and reading (my somewhat boring and all over the place blog haha) Please feel free to link back and tell me so I can link you back too! Have an awesome day! God Bless
