Friday

Well, I have been spending the week playing with the layout and banner of this blog. I'm still not sure exactly how I want the banner to look. So I decided to just go with a simple banner for the time being.

My time feels so limited this summer since I am taking a lot of summer school and I start working on Sunday.  But, regardless I am going to be on here and working on projects at home.  I tend to keep myself busy, and that's the way I like it.
Today, I plan on working on homework and going to the library to pick up the book I've been dying to finish.

Happy Friday!
Nicole

*Summer Reading*

 
Here's what I'll be reading this summer:

And Life Goes On..

 As often as you would hate to say it, you make mistakes.  Whether it has to do with relationships or just life in general.  Things happen, and as they happen, you deal with them.  You take them one at a time, find the best possible solution, and move forward. 

 The decisions I have made in the past six months of my life have without a doubt altered my future, as they should.  We are products of our decisions, products of our words, products of our thoughts and feelings.  We are who we are because of the way we live.
I have come to the conclusion that life is not what it's made up to be.  It's much harder.  But with that being said, I am strong.  I will make my life beautiful, regardless of those who try to bring me down (and honestly, the person who brings me down the most is myself). 

I only wanted to share this because I want the world to know that I'm done with all of the things and people that don't add happiness or beauty to my life.  I'm moving forward into a new section, a new chapter - if you would prefer to say, and it's going to be great.

Thank you to all my friends and family who read this.  Thank you everyone who doesn't know me personally, but understand and support my words.

I will be posting much more in the future.  But right now, I need to grab a latte and pack up my apartment.

My Fleetwood Zig Zag

 I found this machine at a thrift store and fell in love with it right away! It is so pretty!

Between summer school and my social life, there has been little time to get on here.  But I will make an effort!  We are planning on having lots of cute stuff done by mid June!

Happy Saturday!

Want to Order Some Eggs?

We are still taking orders for ceramic Easter Eggs!  Please send orders to yellowcatstudio@hotmail.com!

Because of the massive requests we've had for eggs in the last couple days, we've decided to create a new system for ordering.  You can order in THREE ways!

Please send your orders to yellowcatstudio@hotmail.com.

1) Customize Your Eggs- you can choose both the pattern and color of each eggs.  You can also personalize them with names. You can order as many, or as few, as you would like!
Here are the patterns we have:

 (From Left to Right) Scattered Daisies, Central Flower, Scattered Tulips

(From Left to Right) Vines, Tulip Lines, Dots

Along with six designs, we also have seven (7) colors to choose from!  The colors shown above: purple, orange, blue, yellow, teal, pink.  We also have a light green, which is shown the sets below.

Here's how an order would look:

Hello, I would like 6 eggs:
1 pink dots
1 teal tulip lines
1 yellow vines
1 blue scattered tulips
1 orange central flower
1 purple scattered daisies

With custom orders, you can also personalize them with names.  Here's how an order would look:


Hello, I would like 6 eggs with the names:
Dave - green
Pat - purple
Ben - orange
Nicole - pink
Bill - blue
Charlie - yellow

Personalized eggs, we will add small decorations to make it look festive and pretty!

You can order a combination of names and patterns, just please be specific about your wants!  Be sure to include the color to each egg as well!

2) Order a Set - Here are a few sets we have done in the past.  If you want a more simple way of ordering, just choose 1 or more of the sets below.  All sets consist of six (6) eggs;  One of each color (expect for teal and green, there will be one or the other) and one of each pattern.

Here are the sets to order from:
SET 4 (below)

 SET 5 (below)

 SET 6 (below)

 SET 7 (below)

 SET 8 (below)

 SET 9 (below)

Here's how an order would look:


Hello,
I would like to order set 5 and set 8.

3) Variety Set - Here's the easiest way to order!  Let us do the work of picking  the eggs for you!  We will include one of each color and one of each pattern.  Of course, since we have teal and green, we usually only put one in a set.  Please specify if you would prefer one or the other. Then wait for your surprise!

Here's how an order would look:

Hello,
I would like a variety of 2 dozen eggs!

Dresses I wish I had

I love these dresses!  Spring time always makes me want to show some leg and prance around in a little dress! 

P.S.  I received my make-up from E.L.F (as seen here), and I LOVE most of it.  The only product I have been disappointed in was the waterproof pencil eyeliner.  The tip was very hard and it was not easy to apply.
My favorite product so far is the bronzer.  I have a very light skin tone, so it's hard to find a bronzer that looks natural.  The healthy glow bronzer in 'Luminance' is perfect.  It gives me just the right amount color!
