Howdy!!!

Hey Everyone!!!


My name is Ashley & I'm currently living in my hometown somewhere in South Jersey. Yes theres a huge different between South and North Jersey. (Just in case you didn't know) Anywho, I  have a 3 year old son (Bentley), a 5 year old Neo Mastiff (Georgia) and have already found the love of my life (Mikey). Throughout my years I always watched my crazy (I mean awesome) mama craft her ass off like  no other. I always sat in the car so embarassed of her trash picking and thrift shopping, and now I'm that person. Pulling over when I see a treasure, constantly thrift shopping for the next project, and the craft stores cashiers...well we know each others first names. Point being, I love what she's passed down to me, even though I may not tell her that. (Aw ma if your reading this, I love you<3)

But don't get it twisted, I am one bas ass, tattooed, rock loving, rebel that will rip your head off if you said something wrong to me or my family. That being said, I will do my best to be nice on here. Think of this as a therapy session. Hahahaha. Jk. Oh, and I coupon my butt off. So if you're into savings/free stuff, I'm your lady. Got questions as to how I do it? Ask me! I want you all to interact as much as you are willing!

Also, we're military.(Air Force, if you're wondering) Although I am not a huge gung-ho fan of picking up families and moving and deployments and all that, I gotta say it's a pretty cool life. You're kind of on the edge I guess, like all the time! And I've met some really awesome people along the way too. (Who doesn't like that?!) The only times I kick myself in the ass about it is when Mikey's gone. When he's gone everything hits the fan and all hell breaks loose. Fortunatly, I have my family here and a few close friends to guide me through it. (Thanks ya'll, you know who you are) Including Erica's bitch ass. My main roll dog in this new adventure of sorts. I found her at a Tupperware party and come to find out we're like sisters in another life. lol. We are constantly changing our houses, sharing pics of our creations, and bouncing ideas off of each others brains. It's awesome! If you don't have a crafting buddy, get one. It makes it all worth while!

In doing this "blogging adventure", as I like to call it. I'm hoping to help someone that is in their house bored out of their minds make it better. Look at those walls and not be scared to paint them. Know that it's just paint!!! And doing all the cool shit you see online, isn't that hard! Even though it may be rough at times and having a toddler pull at your leg while hanging a shelf is no fun, it's worth it! When someone new walks into your house and says holy shit I love that, your head swells to 5 times bigger and you feel like a god. Haha, okay that might just be me, shut it. 

Join me! Watch my house turn inside out, my hair change to 10 different colors, my son grow, and hopefully watch me marry the love of my life! All from your computer =) (lucky ass)

With love and lots of it,

Ashes.
