I’m a big fan of this sappy love song, but this all voice version is sweet. Hope you enjoy.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Winter. What every you do or don’t celebrate i hope you have fun and some good times.
Love you all – Krystal
Yea that’s all this post is about. Just a way to get out my thoughts. So we’re not selling. The market is still going down but it’s dropped to a point where we can’t sell and where it makes more sense to stay. Were lucky we don’t have to sell. Hubby has an awesome job that he loves and is seriously starting to rock at. I went from ok were not selling to…WHAT? we have to sell…to we can’t sell if we wanted to….and finally, oh this might just work out for the best and be the best thing for us. Simply put…all is well and we are very lucky/blessed. Now, i just need to be disciplined enough to stick to my strict budget, and spend smart. I’m even going to start matching coupons with sales to get stuff for dirt cheep. It’s worth my time as long as I’m not working.
I am however starting my own design business. I’m tying in all of the creative things i love but interior design has really become something i have a passion for.
I also love everything athletic. I played a little volleyball growing up here and there but never on a team. I started playing on a local team and I’m having tons of fun. I’m so glad that hubby is out of school and i have evenings again. Half tempted to go back to school or further my education in some way or another. I would love to be a physical trainer. That would be flexible and allow me to be home whenever my boys are home and just do it when kids are in school, and evenings once the kids go to bed. Not too shabby.
I think everyone has this unlimited potential. I’m just starting to see mine and honestly at times i don’t have a clue what my ultimate goal/direction is. I’m just taking it a day at a time and loving it. I would rather try 100 different things in my lifetime then be the most popular this or the best at that. “You never know until you try.” It’s true. Some things i just might not like. Ok, next. I may just find something that i love so much that i…na I’ll always want to try new stuff.
Thanks for listening to my “random” ramblings.
Being Crystal with K i’ve always had fun switching up my spelling. C’s are easily changed to a K with just a slash on the back but what did they ever do to deserve that. Yes this is one of those “need to get some randomness out” posts.
I just wrote a post on Kicking Cravings but couldn’t help but switch the C to a K. I did a doodle the other day of a Roster and couldn’t help but name it cluck-cluck and quickly slashed my C’s. I’ll continue to do this the rest of my life. Krispy-Kreme’s can’t have all the fun. Well fun until you eat more then one. Seriously reading to much of this might make someone sick as well. Anywho. Here’s to being random and having fun.
I had a picture on my fridge and wanted to get some creativity in and here’s what came out. Honestly this one was a big learning experience. I know i need a challenge in order to get better. More particularly, something I’m not good at in order to improve. Simply put not every piece will be the way i want it to be, but I’ll learn…ect. It started with this…
The nose was 1/2 inch too long which thru everything else off. I also struggle with noses, especially when I’m only using one color. Latter i decided to move the nose and mouth up and cover the drawing in oil pastels.
In the end it doesn’t look at all like her but I’m learning a lot. I straightened out her face but forgot to straighten out her ears and earrings. LOL! Kinda fun but…hu? That would be a cool style (one earring and inch longer than the other).
Left eye is too big, left shoulder is too high and angled wrong, red under oil is hard to work with, I like working on darker paper…the list goes on. Either way i had fun and enjoy creating.
Now if i can just go back to the basics and sketch out the angle of the face and line up the ears with the eyes just right then i might have a piece to be proud of. Still getting use to, and loving oil pastels.
I missed the ocean like crazy and i finally got a taste of it and now i can’t stop thinking of it. I’m already saving up for next years trip to the ocean. Here’s some more art randomness.
Started with just this and then i kept going and going and who knows…just random.
Happy Friday!!!

Good relationships uplift each other. Make you want to be the best you you can be. Well I’ve just been inspired to get creative. My two passions in life are anything physical outdoors and art/creativity. As an individual that is what makes me tick…gives joy…bla bla bla you know. I’m going to start doing something creative on a daily basis. I will probably post it once a week…just because of time…or who knows i may get quicker at uploading images. Well computer off time to get creating.
Thanks Stephanie,

Well, we’re off to Idaho tomorrow. We had hotel reservations but when i called a relative to ask if we could come say hi, she basically insisted we stayed in her camper. I love my family. She’s one of my favorite aunts. Every time I’m with her i learn something new, and feel like a better person a better mom. Not sure why i don’t go stay there more often. I could easily see myself raising my family there. Not that i don’t love where I’m now. I just find that most of my fondest moments lately are there. Anywho, I’m excited and the boys will have a blast and we’ll be able to be there for Dan’s cousin as well.
Living on the 3rd floor I always joke that, “At least i get my exercise.” Well, yesterday was definitely one of those days. Now that we are no longer showing our home, selling our home, or moving. I needed to either unpack stuff or re-pack it for a more permanent storage solution in our garage. Last time I left clothes in boxes for too long i ended up with moth bites in most of my cotton shirts.
I Re-Packed all of my “don’t need for at lest a year or more” items in sealed plastic garbage bags inside plastic storage containers.
Living on the third floor is also like having your own stair stepper with out the cost of power and the problem of finding space for one in your home. I must have gone up and down those stairs 20+ times. Definitely feeling that in my shins today.
Now i need to work on my FitnessSurfer re-design. It’s 1 year anniversary is coming up soon and that’s when i want it done.
Happy Summer Everyone

I’ve talked about doing this for a while now, but i need to update my WP version for this site. Because it’s so old that means i will probably need a new them. I’m going to be tying my other sites…FS…RO all into one big random site. I actually try to make categories for the fitness and heath stuff…organizing stuff and by all means the just plain random stuff…which I’m full of.
A Few Randoms:
I bought and mounted a Pull Down Black Out Shade for the nursery. It should help with nap time.
I have a new oil pastel drawing. Messy but different. I’ll share it as soon as i get the chance.
I was thinking about astronomy today. More specifically the suns effect on the earth and humans. My head nearly exploded with theory’s and questions. I’ll elaborate once i find some answers.
So far i’ve only posted old art. On my last vacation i grabbed a $3 set of oil pastels and then found a perfume add in Architectural Design and it turned out pretty good.
As an artist i still have to critique my work. The mouth on this one is a bit off and the right check and eye bone look wrong. I had to guess it because the photo cut that part off. If i had been drawing the face more consistently perhaps i would have guessed better. I could try to work on it and fix it, but i’m going to leave it as is and learn on the next one.
