What a busy weekend! I cannot believe I have to go back to work tomorrow. I still have so much I want to do. <br />
<br />
Wizard Comic Con is in 2 weeks and I still have a few things to finish up - pillows, totes, pouches! I'm pretty excited for it though. I'm hoping it's busier than last year and I have faith it should be because it can only get better. I mean, it's Wizard, it has to!<br />
<br />
We've also been working away at wedding plans - suit shopping, deciding on favours, collecting prizes for the stag and doe... I have become officially excited recently for the wedding and the events that come before it. Don't get me wrong, I was excited before and I have been waiting to marry my best friend for quite some time now. But the wedding is close to 3 months away! I've become giddy with excitement. I guess it also helps that things are finally coming together and I'm starting to see how everything is going to look.<br />
<br />
And I am so excited to get this dress in the mail:<br />

Purchased from <a href="https://redvelvetshop.myshopify.com/">Red Velvet Shop</a> - I highly recommend checking out the other dresses listed. They're pretty amazing and I'm sure they will all be gone soon!<br />

But this has lit something inside of me that makes me want to really push my creativity to the next level:<br />

Jaelin was born Thursday, February 17th at 2:18 p.m. She's beyond adorable. I've visited her twice now and I cannot believe how quickly I've fallen in love with her. She's tiny and has so much blonde hair on her head. I just about melted when Adam was burping her and she literally curled her hands into fists and rubbed her head into his chest to get comfy and close her eyes. I'm excited to watch her grow and be the best aunt possible.<br />
<br />
And as usual, I've been baking up a storm. I've had birthday parties and baby showers to attend and all of which require some form of cake -<br />

<br />
Kitty Egg Upcycled Crayons - I have to buy these for my future niece! This is the description:<br />
Explore the different sides of the Kitty Egg to make different strokes (use the ears for double lines and fine points and the sides of the body for broad strokes). Each Kitty Egg is made from 7-8 non-toxic crayons with no paper wrappers or broken stubs to worry about. Kitty Egg Crayons are made to be long lasting and durable!<br />
<br />
Who wouldn't want to buy these?!? They're adorable and made from recycled crayons.<br />

Talk about putting my week at a stand still. I have things to do body - stop acting up!<br />
<br />
So I was introduced to an extremely cute and sweet blog recently:<br />
<a href="http://agirlnamedastrid.blogspot.com/">http://agirlnamedastrid.blogspot.com/</a><br />
<br />
It's hard not to get sucked into her posts and lose an hour or two of time.<br />
<br />
And to top it off she made a Christmas <a href="http://agirlnamedastrid.blogspot.com/2010/12/little-or-rather-large-post.html">post</a> with gifts she got... and she got one of my zipper pouches and a favourite one of mine too!<br />
<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">This makes me so happy! I have seen my bags on strangers' shoulders at Fan Expo before. I've done that show so many times now that it's normal to see someone using one of my bags that they bought in previous years. But this is the first time I've come across something of mine online ^_^</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Except for the stomach pain, I'm enjoying relaxing with the kitties, listening to Peggy Lee. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

I have an image in mind and I hope I'm not dissappointed. I'm looking for either a knee or tea length dress and I want amazing shoes! Coloured shoes! Preferably a buttery soft yellow, which so far, has proven to be difficult!<br />
<br />
I have been admiring pictures online however...<br />

But that doesn't mean you can't order a thing or two for yourself, right? <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bellisal.etsy.com/">Lisa</a> has kept updating her etsy over the last couple of weeks. She has some super adorable things in store...<br />
<br />

I highly recommend checking her etsy out... and keep looking in the new year because she's planning on updating pretty frequently!<br />

I'm currently taking the fondant class, which is by far my favourite. It's actually incredibly easy using fondant and it's the easiest to make compared to buttercream and royal icing.<br />
<br />
For my last class, this was my final cake...<br />

I also was experimenting with cake recipes and flavourings for buttercream frosting. I made some mint-chocolate cupcakes last weekend and they were so yummy! <br />

How crazy is that?<br />
<br />
I'm actually heading to the U.S. tomorrow - I know, I'm nuts! - to do some Christmas shopping with family. I have to admit, I'm extremely excited! I can't wait to see all the stores and malls decorated.<br />
<br />
On etsy today I came across a very awesome shop, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/CreativeAbubot?ref=seller_info">CreativeAbubot</a>. I absolutely love everything! <br />
These are not real cupcakes... but decorations, how cool is that?<br />

One gift down, so many more to go... I want to buy a lot of handmade gifts and make a lot of handmade gifts. I have ideas in my head but I've been so preoccupied that I haven't actually sat down to look through etsy or figure out my own projects.<br />
<br />
Tonight, however, after spending a couple of hours on etsy I have found some possible gifts but also found some things I'd like for myself.<br />
<br />

<br />
I came across this post tonight on <a href="http://www.abeautifulmess.typepad.com/">abeautifulmess' blog</a>:<br />
<a href="http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/11/if-not-now-then-when-.html">http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/11/if-not-now-then-when-.html</a><br />
<br />
It really hit home for me. I will admit, I haven't actually tried to follow my passions and dreams full-time. I don't fully know what it's like to be broke and to feel defeated because I'm trying to live out my dream. But, honestly, it's something I do want to do. I want to focus all my creative energy on my passions and loves in life. I know working a normal 'day' job is still a requirement. I always want to contribute part of my paycheques to our household and savings. Working these day jobs, however, are hard when your heart isn't in it. They wear you down, but as of now, I want to start moving ahead with taking over the world with <a href="http://bellisal.etsy.com/">Lisa</a>. I want to focus on my creative projects and start expanding. <br />
<br />
One thing we've done is created a group on facebook:<br />
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Miss-Belle-Sparklegirls-Craft-Posse/149478788429517?v=app_169505045786#!/pages/Miss-Belle-Sparklegirls-Craft-Posse/149478788429517?v=wall">Miss Belle and Sparklegirls Craft Posse</a><br />
Come check us out! We're keeping it up to date with craft shows we're doing and etsy updates.<br />
<br />
Also, I'm working on updating my etsy completely. Just tonight I listed a few geeky pillowcases I had leftover from FanExpo:<br />

<br />
I also have some geeky stockings to list this week as well so keep an eye out for them! Most of them are one-of-a-kind!<br />
<br />
Night!<br />

I'm not quite sure. Life just came crashing down on me and I think I finally feel like I have control again. The inspiration is flowing, routine is happening again, and I'm feeling like me.<br />
<br />
What's new in my life? Well, Hamilton is no longer 'home'. Me, my man, our kitties and toads all moved to Welland. The city is beautiful. Our window faces the canal and I can't even describe how gorgeous the trees have been this fall. <br />
<br />
I've also been going through jobs like crazy... I can't seem to find anything I like. So to compensate I'm still crafting and selling, and now taking cake decorating classes at night! The creative outlets seem to help keep me sane. <br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The newest announcement, though, is that I'm engaged! My man proposed... he got down on one knee and presented me with the most beautiful ring. I was speechless, and even now sometimes I'm still speechless. I have a wedding to plan over the next 9 months and I have so many diy ideas to try. The best part is looking at him and knowing that this is it forever. I'm marrying my best friend. It's an amazing feeling. </div><br />
Well, I know pictures are the easiest way to catch up so here's a small photo dump....<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">I have so many ideas and plans that I want to work on. I have sewing projects I want to try, baking and decorating ideas that I'd love to get better at, and just more creative projects I want to undertake. No more sitting on the sidelines waiting for things to happen in front of me! I believe I finally have the courage to start pushing forward in both my personal and creative lives. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Myself and 2 close friends just celebrated birthdays. The last two weeks have been full of gifts and sweets! <br />
<br />
I got the second season of Golden Girls for my birthday and I have been flying through it. At this point in my life, stressed from moving and a new job, I am ready to move down to Miami with 3 of my best friends.<br />
