What you learn

because sometimes I just feel kinda stupid ~_~

Some days ago I received a convo on Etsy saying this:

I love your products, im doing a facebook christmas giveaway and i was wondering if we could use one of your products to be the prize? 

The money rasied is going to a charity

let me know what you think :)

many thanks

Emma

I was totally glad to be able to help, so I convo her back saying that I would love to cooperate, and she picked my chocochip cookie keychain as a prize. I told her to give me a giveaway link so I can help her promote. She didn't answer, but anyway.
Next day she contacted me again saying that the giveaway had ended, and that the winer was XXX, she gave me XXX's address, and asked me to let her know when I would send the keychain so she can tell XXX that I was going to.
My face: "O.O did I miss something?"

Well, no, she just sent me that message. No giveaway links, no personal information, no "what I'll do with the money". Nothing. So I told her that she hadn't give me any link, and that I don't have any information about her, the giveaway, or the place she's sending the money, that I have no problem donating an item, but that I felt weird with no information about anything. I was just expecting something like "oh, sorry >_< my name is Dalilah Random Perez, and this is my fb account, you can add me if you want! lalala" and nothing else. But no, she just said that she had placed a status on her FB page asking people to send her a private message saying how much money they wanted to donate... and nothing else, again.

I convo her back this morning saying I would send the keychain next Monday, because I will. And after thinking carefully about it the whole day I sent her another message some minutes ago rambling about how dissappointed I was. I don't know ~_~ I just feel kinda used. Maybe she'll convo me back again. But it's ok if she doesn't. I don't care.

I just know I learnt something today. It's better to see it that way than feeling incredibly stupid and be resentful for that.

If you made it this far, thank you so much for reading my boring ramblings, I just wanted to spit that out >_< I'll come with something happier tomorrow, I promise. And if it serves for something, I feel a lot better now ^^

Have a nice day!

Sumomo and the Strawberry Bowl

If you've ever read my incomplete 365 craft blog "A something a day", you've met Sumomo, my tiny amigurumi yellow bunny. Well, that blog didn't last long so if you haven't met her, she's Sumomo (yeah, she knows she's cute :3)

Today my mother in law bought today 2 kilos of strawberries. That's a lot of strawberies! So I prepared a bowl full of them, and when I turned around, I found myself with this. I catched her just in time!

And she kept looking at the strawberries. I didn't know, but apparently, she LOVES strawberries as much as I do ;_; (well, I can't blame her, strawberries are yummy).

 So, I had to give her one! I couldn't help it, she's too cute ;_;

Anyway, I ate strawberries today :3 Now I can eat them with wiped cream, or put them in a cake, or in a tasty strawberry frappuchino~ *sings*

Procrastination: What's your vice?

As I said in some other posts on this blog, I'm a procrastinator. I get incredibly easily distracted over the most insignificant thing. That's why I can't be constant with blogging, that's why it takes me so much to make stuff, and that's probably why I feel the time passes so fast. I try to work on it as much as I can, but usually I fail.

This is what you get when you search "FOCUS" on Google Images. But you get the point, right?

This morning, for example, I was determined to write a post here. My kids go to school in the mornings, so usually that's my free time to make things for myself, like crochetting or taking care of my etsy shop, posting stuff and such. I had a really strong determination to do so.

At 11 in the morning I realized I had nothing of this done, and instead I wasted a lot of time in some random website about random stuff. I was really pissed off because I really wanted to do something useful with my time.

Eventually, I found out I'm not the only one who gets easily distracted. Searching around on some blogs about blogging, I found this website. If you have the same problem as me, do yourself a favor and watch that video:

So now, I'm writing this. Because a video said it xD

No, but really. I'm trying really hard to keep myself away from procrastination, because I love what I do and I feel I could do a lot more if I just wasn't wasting time on poupeegirl -.-

Probably it's to much to ask for, but I hope this helps you too~

Have a nice day~!
