Day 4 and 5...about 10 days late!
Hello all! I know I am very behind. But here it is days 4 and 5 of the blog challenge.
Day 4- Your Parents
I am from Redding, CA and that is where my parents currently live. My mom Suzie is a pharmacy tech and my dad Larry is a plumbing contractor. I miss them a lot and wished that they lived closer to me!
Both pictures are kinda old and I realized that I don't have many pictures of my parents because they are usually the ones taking the pictures! Anywho, I LOVE them and miss them very much!
Day 5- My Siblings
Easy one- I have none!
Tomorrow I will post Monday Must-Haves and coming soon is a giveaway on my cousins blog The Electric Twist. Details coming soon! Happy Sunday everyone!

Monday Must- Haves...and I am WAY behind on the blog challenge!
Hello Everyone! Happy Monday! Obviously I am way behind on the 30-day blog challenge and will be picking that back up tomorrow. I had a great weekend! Friday was my 25th birthday and my parents and grandparents came down from Redding to celebrate with me. Saturday my aunt, uncle, and cousin came up and we went to an AMAZING sushi dinner at Hana Restaurant in Rohnert Park, CA. Best sushi I have ever had!! It was a great birthday and I got some awesome loot from my wonderful family! My grandparents got me a sewing machine! I got all the accessories for sewing, clothes, and books from my parents and my aunt and uncle got me a KitchenAid mixer (a present for Nick too!). I will post pictures soon!! So here are today's Monday Must Haves!

Blog Challenge: Day 2 & 3
Day 2: Meaning behind your blog name
Well...simply put it is the name of my jewelry shop on Etsy. But it was not all that easy to come up with. My original name for my little shop was C3Jewelry. My initials are all C's so it was a fitting name. When I came up with C3Jewelry I did research to make sure that I wasn't stepping on toes and copying someones name. Nothing came up. Then one day in September (7 months after I opened my shop) I got an idea to Google my shop name again. Boy was I surprised! First thing that came up was a lawsuit against a company called C3Jewelry, Inc. Turns out there was a jewelry company selling synthetic diamonds that apparently, were not the best people to do business with. I decided I needed to change my name in order not to be associated with this company. I love owls and I knew that I wanted that in my name somehow. I was also toying around with the word acorn. My boyfriend says "Call it The Acorn Owl." And the new shop was born : )
Day 3: A Picture of Something that Makes You Happy

Blog Challenge Day 1
So, I started my blog a while ago but haven't been doing it that much. Busy doing other things I guess, haha. My cousin Sarah has a very cute blog, The Electric Twist, and a while back she started doing a 30 day blog challenge. I though it was a pretty cool idea, so I am starting my 30 days today! : ) Here it goes...
Day 1: Introduce yourself, post a recent picture, and post 15 interesting facts about yourself.
Well... My name is Cara. I am currently 24 but in 12 days I will be turning a quarter of a century (I have to admit it's a little weird, never did I think I would be 25!) I have a wonderful three year old daughter, Sophia, whom I could squeeze all day long!! I live with my chef boyfriend Nick, who spoils me with yummy food! I love to craft (I am often called the crazy craft lady by a certain someone, lol). I knit, make jewelry, do glitter crafts, and everything in between. My current want is a sewing machine so I can make my little peanut cute clothes!

The Self-Worth Project
In response to the recent suicides by young teens who were being bullied for being different, Tommy Corey (a friend from high school) is doing a wonderful and inspiring project called The Self-Worth Project.
From the Facebook page for The Self-Worth Project:
"The Self-Worth project is an ongoing photo documentation of people and their insecurities. The words written on each individual are a deep, vulnerable and honest insecurity. We are not here to reach out to one specific group. We are here to reach out to humanity as a whole. Your fights, your struggles, your weaknesses. We put everything on the table to show you that IT IS OK TO BE WHO YOU ARE. When you are down on yourself, please remember, you are worth more than you know. To your parents, siblings, cousins, friends and peers. We are not here to preach to you. We are are here to give you a blunt representation of our lives. Let your mind interpret the photograph. When all else has failed, choose love. "
This is an amazing thing that Tommy is doing. Please support him by becoming a fan on his Facebook page!! http://www.facebook.com/selfworthproject
Here are a few photos from the project of people that mean a lot to me. My Auntie Chris, cousin Sarah, and Sarah's boyfriend Thomas.

So, as I said before I am mommy to the wonderful Sophia Grace. She is the most awesome little girl ever and if you know her you now what I say is true : ) My little Sophia is turning 3 on October 20 (already!!) and we are having a circus party for her. She is so excitied and keeps talking about her circus party. I have to admit I am really excitied about it too! So this morning I spent time working on her invitations, making signs, and labels for the party. I am very pleased with how everything is turning out so far. But, it is a lot of work!!! I love planning parties and secretly think it would be so fun to be a wedding/party planner, but there is so much work involved in pulling a fun/cool party off. Anyway, here are a few photos of what will be the treat table and a few works in progress! Come back soon : )
