Time, time, time

For the past few months I've constantly felt like I don't have enough time.
I find myself thinking "I wish I had time to do that," every single day.
 
I want to do yoga,
I want to swim,
I want to start scrapbooking,
I want to read,
I want to finish the projects I've started & start new ones.
 
I've decided to stop complaining about not having the time for things & to make time.
I just wrote out all the things I would do if I had time, & then I fit them into my schedule.
With everything written out like that, I actually feel like I have alot of spare time!
No more excuses, it's time to do the things I want to do!

21'st Birthday!


Ok, even though my birthday isn't until June I've already gone way overboard planning my party.
I can't help it, I get too excited about things!
If you hadn't already guessed, it's going to be 90's themed (since I was born in the 90's!)
Which means tacky bike shorts, Nsync, Britney Spears & bubble tape! I AM SO EXCITED!
I've decided to order some custom print fabric from Spoonflower so I can make my own costume!
Along with the black splatter pattern above, I've made two other possible fabric designs!

I may be alone on this, but geometric shape prints definitely take me back to elementary school!


& another paint splatter, I couldn't decide between black & white, so I made both!
The white is kindof bad though, it's the first one I made & when it's tiled for the fabric you can see a definite line on the right edge. But I can fix that! 
I'm going to order samples of each since I'm having such a hard time deciding! 
I'm making slap bracelets for the gift bags (those are 90's right?!) & I'm splattering glow in the dark neon paint on the fabric for them! 
Since I'll be in Colorado the week of my birthday, I'll have it the Saturday that I get back. Which means I wont have time to make a cake! Unfortunately I'm too much of a control freak to let any of my friends make it for me, so I think this year I'll have to order on from a bakery.
But at least that means my cake will be near perfect! 
I'm obsessed with this cake I found on google, I literally show it to everyone I talk to!


This one with the furby & gigs pets is really neat too!

I know I'm going way overboard with the splatter thing, but I just really love the idea of my outfit, invitations, cake & party favors all matching!
The coolest part is that one of my employees is in a band & offered to play 90's covers as a birthday gift!
Really the whole band is just stoked they get to dress up in awesome 90's clothes c;
We were also thinking of having a slip n slide, but that seems a little bit too high school cliche. 
But then again it IS a 21st birthday AND it's 90's, two thing allowed to be outrageous!
Ah! I just can't wait!
