Bubble, Bubble.....Something, Something.....

In early March, one of my guild-mates created a Make Up Your Own Spell/Ritual contest.  Haven't been able to come up with anything so far.  But the deadline for the contest is July 8.  So, I should be able to think up something by then.

Last week, I finally updated my cousin's blog layout to something she was happy with.  She also wants me to help her create a facebook page for it.  However, I haven't heard from her since she told me she liked the new layout.  Other than that, nothing much has been going on.  Here's hoping things start to pick up next month.

Time for a Change

Last week, my cousin asked me to help her with her blog.  She tasked me with deleting spam comments and prettying up the blog's appearance.  While I was working on her's, I decided to make some minor changes to my own blog.  From now on I'll be going by Aji LaStrange.  Caffeine's Cafe is now Cafe LaStrange.

Aji was a nickname that I adopted around 10 years ago and that is what most of my friends know me by.  As for the last name, I went with LaStrange because...Well, I am a bit strange.  To celebrate this occasion, here's a crappy picture of a cupcake that I made on MS Paint for a friend's birthday.

Keys!

A few days ago, this picture popped up on my facebook feed.

They're by an online shop called Cloud & Lolly that specializes in handmade accessories.  Out of curiosity, I took a peek at the site for myself.  The items in this shop look both cute and very well done.  I especially took a liking to their key accessories.  I would definitely recommend this shop to some of my friends.  Mainly because of the keys. XD

The Best Part of Waking Up.....

This is pretty much my daily schedule.  Can't start my day without at least 1 or 2 cups of this caffeinated goodness.  I usually take my coffee with sugar and some kind of flavored cream.  Two of my favorite coffee and cream flavors are white chocolate raspberry and red velvet.

Why do some people enjoy drinking coffee so much?  It might be because:

• It helps them wake up in the morning.
• It gives them energy to get through the day.
• It helps them focus on their tasks.
• It keeps them from slapping a bitch. XD

I would love to hear what others have to say about this subject.  So, don't be afraid to leave me a comment.

Pinteresting New Territory

Today, I decided to finally give Pinterest a try.  So far, I'm liking it.  Seems easy to find a lot of things that I'm interested in.  While I was browsing through images of Gothic DIY/Crafts, I came across this.

This probably won't be a project that I'll attempt anytime soon.  But I thought it looked cool and felt like sharing.

Avi Art

Yesterday, one of my guild-mates opened up an art shop in the guild's Goth Shops sub-forum.  Since she needed some art samples for her shop, she offered to do the first two requests for free.  I love avatar art.  Especially when it's free.  So, I jumped on the offer and asked for my avatar to be done.

After going back and forth about the finishing touches, the lovely Galenarie came up with this.

It came out great.  She just found herself a repeat customer. =D

Long Time, No Post

Seems that I have been slacking in the blogging department.  Besides the constant snow and breaking my glasses, I have nothing new to blog about.  It's been a slow couple of weeks.  Need to get to a Michael's or an AC Moore and get some more beads for my necklace project.  Yep, that's still a work in progress.  It will probably take another year to finish it.  Damn my lack of funds.
