Tons of Hairspray and Glamor

So my friend Nikki Lee is in beauty school at Regency Beauty Institute. She called me up one day to help her out with a contest she was entering. She had to pick one out of four inspiration photos. She chose the Glamazon look. It looks like an Amazon woman just showed up in the city. So the look is kinda like urban jungle. I love it. We had some help:

Hair and Makeup- Nikki Lee

Photography- Danielle Hillman

Photography Assistant- Lesli Hillman

Model, Clothing and Phot0 Editing- Me, Amy Scott

Here are a few pics from yesterday:

Stanley

STANLEY'S STORY

I just ended a chapter in my life, and that was working in a locally owned and operated pet store here in my hometown. It was quite and experience. Well one day a customer brought this albino fully grown rabbit in the shop that had a crooked leg, and they just didn't want him any more. So another girl I worked with took him in. We put him in the back hall and took care of him for a long time, I would go back and hold him and talk to him almost every day! He was so nice and not jumpy at all.I fell in love. So I asked if I could have him. I had just gotten an out door hutch for my other bunny Waffles and so I had a really nice big indoor cage that would be perfect for him. So now I have this almost cat like bunny just loving me in my room. The sad fact of the matter is that he probly would have ended up being snake food for this huge snake we had named Cleopatra. Now don't be alarmed and think, how mean, how could they do that. Snakes have to eat too, its the circle of life. I'm just glad Stanley wasn't her meal that month!

The Handmade Marketplace

So I bought this book yesterday and I am really excited to go through it. I will be posting from time to time about my process. I am applying it not only to my crafts but my photography and my vintage clothing. I recently started an Etsy but thats it, I havn't done barely any promoting simply because I am not sure how to. We also have the Shreveport Makers Fair which is being put on by TACA. So I bought this book to aid me in selling my products.

The first chapter had a set of questions and i wrote them out and answered them. I know this may be boring and cheesy but I wanted to share.

1.Why do you want to start selling crafts?
I love to create. I want to be able to support myself financially doing what I love.

2.What are my monetary goals?
To be able to creatively support myself

3.What does my idea of success look like?
Doing what I know God wants me to do and glorifying Him while doing it.

4. Do I have enough free time to devote to selling my work?
I feel like I don't but i know I can make time for it.

5.Do I have enough tools to begin selling what i make?
I feel like I do

6.What are your biggest fears?
Getting in over my head and failing

7.Do you have a support system?
YES! My mom and dad, The Wild hearts ( my best friends), and Nathan ( my amazing boyfriend)!

So thats it for now, but I will be back to post more about this book and how it is helping me!
