Toilet 2

To all the concerned ones out there, my phone is back in the living. A bag of rice is just the trick for those things. woot woot.

My Version

I have been following a blog for the last several months for the, Bijou Market, a great site that features local artists, designers, crafters and creatives galore. Well, a couple times a year, they actually have the market, where those who were featured, plus many more, sell there products. I had been anxiously awaiting this market for many months and it finally arrived last weekend. Alyssa and I went and found so many cute things. So many cute things that I can make all by myself. So I didn't buy a thing, instead i went home and got to work. My favorite thing from the market were the bib necklaces. This one in particular:


(It's from this great site, where you can find even more cute things.)

Well, here is my version!



I pretty much love it. I opted for a different sized bow. That's the great thing about making things yourself, you get them just how you want them. I still have so many more things to make! Gotta get workin!

Toilets

I dropped my phone in the toilet today. It's in a bag of rice, being resuscitated. It's still touch and go.

Golly.

Moments

My great friend Erin, passed this on to me today, via her new blog. It was so amazing and emotional for me, so I thought I would pass it on again.

I got a job... for now.

Yes, it's true. After almost a year, I finally landed myself a job. Now, before you get too excited let me tell you, it's a seasonal job and it's part-time and It's at Shopko. Not my dream come true for my career, but it's a job and I am not picky right now. I am excited to have somewhere to go and something to do! I start this on Monday. Wahoo!

I never know what to title these things, so here.

Things are mostly the same here. I had 2 job interviews last week. I try not to feel too optimistic about them, but I do feel like they went better then those in the past. I know that I will get a job soon. I'm trying to use the power of positive thinking. As long as I keep having positive thoughts about getting a job, it's gonna happen.

I also want to thank my family for all their support, specially my parents. They are doing a lot for me, and I seriously don't know what I would do without them. I also want to thanks Alyssa and Taylor for taking me in and helping me so much. I really appreciate and love everyone.

In the meantime, I try to keep busy during the day. A few days a week, I get up early and head to the Provo City Library. I apply for jobs, read my scriptures, and read books about interview techniques and getting out of slumps. So far, it's been really helpful for me. I do better when I am productive and busy. So that is my daily goal.

Yesterday, I didn't have much to do, so I baked lots and lots of cookies. Alyssa took some pics of me making them and the finished product, as you can see.

Next, I am working on my Halloween costume. I bought a dress at Savers (thrift store) and I am making it into something. I won't tell yet, but I will post pics on Halloween. I am pretty excited for a holiday! It will be fun to do something exciting!

I hope everyone is doing well! Love ya! Chels
