The Winna is!!!

The winner of the contest was Si out in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She was the
only one who actually entered. I'm happy someone did, I would have
been a sad panda lol. So Si did post on her facebook when she got the
goodies and loved them. She requested that I send more hi-chew candy
in the next contest we throw and wins lol. She loves the shirt as do
numerous others who have been buying them. Thank you all for your
support it the brand. I will be looking for your continued support in
the future as some of the changes I have been trying to make come to a
head. Alright I'm off I have some outfits to post in the next blog
along with a trend forecast and what you can look forward to masa
yumes fall 2011 looking like. Bwah ha ha. Happy Halloweeeeennnnn!!!

The top 2 are my husband's pumpkins and the bottom one is mine. I'm big on tradition Halloween is my favorite holiday. My husband didn't use to be real big on the pumpkin carving, then I've noticed the last couple of years, he's really diggin it. Last year (in my archives) he did some really eillabrate(sorry about my spelling) pumpkins. This year he's gone amuc! He's doing four and is looking for a perfect green light for his michigan state inspired pumpkins. I love how excited he gets about it, and I can tell he's trying to stay calm lol. So I did an headless horseman and made 4 batches of my beloved pumpkin seeds. This year I did the regular ones I do, and a spicy batch. Both oh so yummy. The hubby is working on one of his msu pumpkins as I type. I will post the winner of the contest in the next entry. Sorry I didn't put it up sooner. Only one person won and they know who they are lol. I've been very m.i.a due to trying to get this studio worked out. Hopefully I'll have news for you guys on Tuesday evening. Let me tell you it's driving me nuts lol. So I hope everyone has a safe and great Halloween! Talk to you soon, doves.

Taking Leaps off the Edge of Fashion

Fabric for my coat!!!

Hello! I have been trying to blog all weekend with a new look attached, but it was just not working, along with the browser not letting me bring up blogspot. SO finally I am able to do both. Upload a new look and a quick word. It was so much hotter than I would have liked it to be today, it was crazy hot. It was pretty outside however. I got up early to meet with the lady who photographed my wedding. Love her! She took over 600 pictures and everyone of them amazing, I'm so happy with them. Next I plan to make a cool album with them, but she has expressed in interest in doing it for me, so that might be what happens :). She was super cool and easy to work with, and all around I'm happy with the results. So in doing amazing, I've asked her to take pictures of the surprise I have coming when it's finished. I'm so excited! So here's my look from today.

At church this weekend I was delighted to find out that a friend of mine starting a beauty store in China. It's like Clinque (or any makeup line of your choosing) but in a stand alone store. I'm soooo proud of her. She's incredibly bright and nice, I'm happy for her. Today went by pretty fast for a Monday...Tuesday...I mean. I don't know why I thought it was Monday hahaha! How's everyone else's week look! Lots of stuff to do? Alright, I've procrastinated long enough, I should get back to work. Don't forget to follow on my facebook and twitter. I will be doing a contest soon, and I don't want you to miss it.

work and play

Today is gorgeous outside. This will always be my favorite time of the year. Fall is just awesome on all fronts. So today is more of a work day with lounge wear. I do have some a few errands to run and I will get on that when I'm done watching Popeye the Sailor Man lol. While out shopping with my mom and grandmother the other day we came across a bin of $5 movies at walmart. In there I found lots of old movies that I probably won't find anywhere else and some old time cartoons that I will always have a special place for. So I will be inside most of the day working with Masa Yume, trying to bring out that surprise that will most likely happen early next month, and doing a wix website til I can link my domain to it. I have painted my nails, worked on the fall 2011 line, and now to make some tea on the quick break I'm taking away from the computer.
