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,
