Cody [My Cousin : By Marriage]

This is for you Cody! [truly] You're the one guy that faithfully reads my posts! I knew you secretly loved having me in the family [its ok if you don't openly admit to it - deep down I know] You wanted it and have asked for it and so here it is....

Readers : Cody is the Tallest one in the Photo [Welcome Cody!]

WHITE 


and only white for my font color....ok so not only you'll have to live withe the aqua color..... but don't worry in small bits and phrases. [what I can't change my style entirely!] and instead of more colors to accentuate things I'll make them BOLD or Italic or UnderLine. I think it'll help fill my creative needs. I might even do big and small fonts [not too small of course!] 


So here's to you Cody! My best blogging buddy [& possibly one of my fave cousins by marriage!! - shh don't tell the others ;) ] 


Yes short sweet & to the point [sorry can't be like this all the times - too much happens ya know!]


All My Love,
Adrianna


Btw: do you know how hard it is to do a post in white color font? [its a daunting task!] & Cody I'm STOKED about your engagement!! 

Seattle & Supercross [We Made it Super!]

So yesterday I gave you the must knows [I know not as exciting as what you're about to read] So here's the trip!


We arrived on Thursday and spent the day catching up on family. And then Because I have an AWESOME uncle he made us some sizzling dinner! It was more a less a kick back and relax evening and enjoy adult conversation [it was quite the stimulating discussion: seriously] 

Pike Place [love it!]

The next day we spent going to the Market [Pike's Place!] and going to the Japanese $1.50 Store [it was wall to wall awesome!] We also snagged some exotic fruits at the Japanese Market [I neglected to take a picture sadly!] But know this the fruit was from all over the world and absolutely delectable! [I recommend dragon fruit to everyone!] We also enjoyed some home cooked Hot Wings that night! [delectable] which of course my Uncle cooked!

Eric, Nola, Uncle Damon [Adorable!]

My Little Nola [so cute!]

Ryan Villopoto [hott!] 

Kevin Windham [just as hott!]

I love his riding gear! [its purple]

Saturday: The main event! Monster Energy Supercross!! It was AWESOME. We went and had lunch at my Uncle's restaurant. Best part about this is instead of ordering a meal he just brought the table samples of everything for us to share. [Best part about having your Uncle as head chef!] You also might think you wouldn't get full but we were stuffed! [literally - best Italian food ever!] Now as for the Supercross we arrived and wandered the Pits [where all the riders buses are at and the booths] This year I managed to spend like nothing compared to last year on Supercross Gear! And I also got some great shots of Villopoto and Windham! Our seats this year were the BEST in the house! I was even interviewed by Mrs. Supercross [you should be feeling jealous about now] She gave me a t-shirt and loved my flower head piece! Ryan Villopoto didn't take first this race but he did in fact win the season!! [right on!] Traffic was so bad we didn't make it home until like 11 but it was worth the day at the Supercross! Yes I do have plenty of photos for this event [enjoy]

Bubba Stewart [he took first]

Best Market Ever! [ever!]

Pacific Ocean [Cold!]

We then spent Sunday [the day we were suppose to go home] hanging around town. We took a trip back to the Market and I got interviewed by some students about the iPad and they paid me $10 [it was sweet!] This time I bought the flowers I wanted [there are NO better flowers than those sold @ Pike's] We then went to Krispy Kreme because they have THE best doughnuts! [there was no way I was leaving with out Fresh doughnuts!] Then the next part was highly anticipated! I've swam in several bodies of waters yet have not been in the Pacific Ocean! Now while I still have not actually swam I did enjoy a walk in the Pacific Ocean [it was indescribably cold!!] We walked the beach for a while and then headed back to my Aunt & Uncle's place. Yep I documented the day! [see? :)] 

Oldest Facer Girl & Youngest! [family]

Hubby & Wife! [love]

The post was really just to share the photos with you and since you couldn't be there to experience now you can experience through photos! [enjoy - catch ya tomorrow!] 


All My Love,
Adrianna

Biggest Supercross Fans [ever!]

P.S. All these photos help you really experience the vacation [& make up for lack of actual photos in previous post!]

Jammed Packed [Lots To Tell]

Current Mood!

So I say I'm back and then I disappear for nearly a month [what's up with that?] I figure I'd call myself out. I promise I've wanted to post just had things that had to be taken care of before I could blog. 

As you can see I've gone through and redone the blog. I've actually settled on this one for a while. [until my mood changes again] And get this you can actually see the words. [well of new posts] 

So what all do I have to say [plenty] Should I back track and break down blog post after blog post or do one jam packed overloaded post? [which will your brain prefer]

There's so much to discuss! Seattle, Etsy [why I changed my blog purpose back] Work, School, my Crafts, and of course the Count Down to GEORGIA!

The Count Down [So on! 11 Days] 

So as for Etsy [this one isn't entirely big news] if anyone has been checking I've not got anything up for sell yet. The truth is I've been busting my butt to finish up ThankYou cards for two separate weddings [250 for one & 200 for the other] In between breaks of each set of Thank You cards I've been working on more and more things for you all to purchase and see. I've also been making my home a bit more homey. 

Vandal Territory [we Kick Butt!]

Home for instance: I making a Vandal plaque to put above the door [so everyone knows this is Vandal Territory!] I made a summer wreath for the door [it even has zebra ribbon!] And last I've made vinyl wall hangings for my sister's moving in this summer! [3 weeks!! & Counting] So stay tuned on Etsy because come this summer[i.e. once I'm back from Georgia] You'll have plenty to browse through and purchase plenty of things to brighten your day, home, and hair! 

School: I've been working on withdrawing [to no avail!] And the news I received yesterday was that I had in fact been able to medically withdraw from this semester!! [wow I'm moving right along with this: no sense overload?!]

We Sell More than iPhone [truth!]

Work has been amazing! [no denying it!] Like a 180! and really I guess that's the most of what I have to say. I won a contest and I'm actually hitting numbers [of course this month they're a little low] But none the less I'm making changes and I LOVE my job and after all shouldn't we LOVE what we do! [you should]

Well speaking of work it's off to work [sell those Phones!] I'll be back tomorrow with more [Promise!] 

All My Love

Necessary Post 2 [Big News]

This post is most definitely necessary [ok not entirely] So the purpose of this post is well its a multi purpose post.

So here it is :

First until I feel comfortable with my background. I'm trying to find something that's me, really me [its not easy I'm incredibly unique!] Anyways I don't want my blog to look like everyone else's I want it to match my personality yet be something that is easy to see the text. So any ideas? Part of the new blog is I want to hear from you [I'm not just saying that - I mean it] What do you want to see? What do you think fits me?

Second any one know how to add all my links? I want to sort of centralize everything to make accessing all of my content easy. I know there's a way to put all links together with out looking like an old myspace page when it  first came out [don't deny it - that's what it looks like with my Facebook badge] 

Third ready for the news? here it is......

We are our own worst critics and it always takes a lot to put our selves out there [ I felt I should preface this] 

Anyways I've been crafting since I was.... [well  forever] I've grown and adapted and developed my holly homemaker talent. And Eric is some what sick of the crafts stacking up around the house so he pushed me to do this..... I'm on Etsy!!! I'm now selling the things I create. 

Here I am [I'm so Excited!]

It's time I put myself out there and stop giving myself reasons not to it. You'll all love it and it's only fair I share [please tell me you love it - I do need your reassurance : I'm so human] There it is. I'm now selling my creations. ABaumCreations. [a Sassy yet Classy Creation] My Etsy page is still being developed but soon you will be able to purchase the things I've been making. I'm even setting up so you can custom order tiles or particular vinyl cut outs/ phrases. [or whatever your heart desires - that my hands can make of course] I'm so excited and can't wait for you to see every thing I'm creating for you!!

I'm off to craft & work on my Etsy page. I just couldn't wait to share that with you all! I've been working diligently the last two weeks on building a bigger stock pile of things for you and I'm just SO Excited!! 

[Now you see why I need help with linking things to my page in a fun & sassy way!]

Thanks for being a part of this with me and for being such great fans!!

All my Love

& Creations

Only one photo because I just didn't want to lose the importance or excitement of the reason for this post! Yay Creations!

Something to Blog About [I'm Back!]

Hello Guys & Gals! [I missed you!]


So if you notice [I'm sure you did!] I'm in the process of revamping the blog [not new but improved]
No longer is this just about the Baumgartner Household. Its going to be about what I've been making [with my crafty little hands] And what I can do for you! So I'm all ears for what you want to hear about. I'll continue to occasionally post things that Eric [love him!] and I have been up to with photos [of course!] For the most part though I want this in some ways to help kick start somethings! 


So where all have I been [that I'm sure is more interesting to you than how I'm changing my blog!] I started school in January like I was suppose to and then if there was something to make me depressed, something to make my tooth ache, or something to forget, it happened to me! [don't worry this isn't a pitty party] I visited the doc lots and went to the dentist in 5 weeks more than I have in my entire life. I missed so much school because of all the doc & dentist visits that I fell behind. [this is sad for me, I actually like school] So I did what I had to, to maintain my nice 3.8 GPA [that's an accurate GPA of mine] And I withdrew...... Not my happiest moment but its what needed to be done. So there you have it. So now what am I doing? I'm working and crafting! 

For Rachel [clearly] When she moves here

One of about 50 Headbands [no joke] 

Crafting ahhhh crafting! I have always been one to create as much as I can out of my own crap. The popular thing right now with America? Well that would be the big flowers in our hair or the over sized headbands. So what am I doing about it [of course I'm doing something] I'm making my own. Not only have I been headband making away I've been making tiles, vinyls, coasters, wall hangings, assortment of cards, wedding presents, home decor, and wreaths [no exaggeration] I've been a busy little holly homemaker [I told you I'd become domestic!] 

House Hunting [there's LOTS to it!]

The only other thing we've been up to here? Well house hunting! I've finally broke, we're going to be here around five years [that's entirely too long!] But its the truth so what can you do. So now Eric and I agree five more years is alot of time to be paying some one else rent [not to mention the amount of money we'll be spending!] So we're looking to buy a house...... If only the house market here sucked like it does in Atlanta, unfortunately in a college town in Idaho it's just not he case.... 

Forgive it [me] it's upside down?

So here we are in April 1/3 of the way through the year.... it's going so fast! And the changes I'm making are drastic ones. I'm changing in my day to day life, eating right, working out, being healthy, keeping a clean house, and crafting my butt off so I thought it was time to start showing that in my blog and making this more about business and home life than about me and my day to day [its mundane anyway] I'll be posting crafty creations, tips and tricks to stay happy [avoid depression - what no one else will talk about it!] & occasionally update you on the Baumgartner House hold! 


Here's to the new blog, a new me, a better you [& a new year? - too late?]


All My Love,


Adrianna
