Attitude is Altitude

Does it make you nervous the first time you hold the hand of your crush? The first time your kiddos take a step? Ride a bike? Roller skate?

I love going shoe shopping. Painting my nails. Wearing my engagement ring. Scratching an itch.

It’s handy to wave at people when you are calling them over or just being friendly.

I enjoy clapping until my hands hurt. Jump roping and skipping.

I’m a writer.

Imagine not being able to do any of those things.  Not being able to do pretty much everything you do on a daily basis.

Have you heard of Nick Vujicic? He knows EXACTLY how that is. Nick is a motivational speaker. He was born with NO limbs. As in no legs and no arms. He has had quite the struggle. He has also learned to adapt. Most people do in situations they were born into, but Nick is extraordinary. He is enthusiastic, goal oriented, unashamed, and my inspiration for this blog. Clearly. I watched a little video about him and for a guy who has had it a little harder than most, he has quite the sense of humor. He truly is amazing. Check him out HERE.

Much Love..

A couple handy links

How many of you LOVE etsy.com? There are so many creative sellers! I love browsing the shops. However, I HATE having to click “next” to move on to the next page and sometimes it can take too long to load. In my opinion, if it’s more than a fraction of a second, it’s simply not fast enough. Not with the bazillions of items to view and drool over. Aside from that, I get so much inspiration from so many of the sellers that I sometimes reek of it. 🙂 I get ansty, fidgety, and suddenly feel the need to create and re-create. So, for all of you who are the same, PicClick released a super rad Etsy browser that pretty much allows for instant gratification. There are results upon results of whatever it is you are searching for. Plus all the handy buttons at the top allow you to pick a category. If you keep scrolling, more results will keep coming until there are no more left to view. It’s AMAZING. And at the top, there is even a little slide bar that lets you choose the size of the images. Start drooling Etsy lovers!

And guess what? There is even a browser for Ebay! It works exactly the same way. I’m not crazy about Ebay myself, but those of you who are will seriously appreciate the Ebay browser. Actually, I think this is the first from PicClick.

So maybe this is not directly a post pointed towards inspiration, but I do find Etsy to be a rather inspiring place to chill. That doesn’t count? Sigh. I just can’t win with you 😉 Even still, you will love being introduced to the new way to browse the most amazing handmade shop location.

Happy Etsy-ing!!

Elicea’s Introduction

Hello! First let me say, if you are reading this, don’t forget to subscribe. 🙂 There is an email subscription icon on the right side. Enter your address and you will be lucky enough to receive an email notification every time we post! I’m so jealous of you that I might even subscribe myself…

Anyhow, my name is Elicea. Almost everyone calls me Leece, so feel free to do so. If you checked out the “who we are” tab, then you already know a little bit about me. I’m going to tell you a little more anyways. I know you are so excited!

I’m just a 24 year old girl living in Utah. Go ahead. Ask if I’m Mormon. I suppose you can say I am. I was “saved” when I was 10 years old. Here I am, 14 years later and I dont remember the last time I stepped into a church. I drink very very socially. Like once a year, if that. I do not smoke. I use profanities more than I would like and am currently working to resolve that. I can be judgmental, hypocritical, and mean. But when that happens I try to correct it. I am a lover of many things, including my wonderful fiance, new pets, bright and over-used colors, mis-matched furniture, simple art, interesting books, most things metaphysical, sweet treats, anything crafty, the smell of tomatoes, super hot bubble baths, buttons, and egg cartons.

When it comes to the things I just cant stand, there aren’t many to list. But please keep in mind those things bother me to the point that I feel like punching throats. The things that bring out such violence in me are: loud snapping, Otis snoring, Tim & Eric, flakiness, cleaning up legos, carrying anything at all…. If I think of more I’ll update this.

I am crazy obsessed with love and everything about it. After all, it is an umbrella emotion 🙂

Lately one of the most inspiring things to me have been egg cartons. There are about a buh-jillion things you can do with them and I plan on utilizing them for pretty much all of those things in more. What are these amazing things I can make from egg cartons? Well, that I cannot tell you. Of course, you can always look it up…. but you will get no word from me until I have started completed said items.

In ending, I want to say I am so excited to be doing this blog with my amazing friend Tomi. She is one rad sista.

Check out one of my favorite photos EVER!!!

Peace, love, and all things inspiring –

LEEEEEECE
