Creative Endeavors / VC Totes

« on: January 26, 2005, 04:25:32 pm »

yeh if enough people wanted them and were willing to pay a little more (not $40) but yeh maybe $35 - I could start making the totes - again - i am flat broke and could use any extra money i could get - I was charging like $20 back in the day - but i dont have any of my supplies so it would cost a little more from you guys just so that i could stock up on the materials - and i could make them like that too - but in a tote bag ---
so i will post another thread if you guys are interested please reply and we will work it all out - I would have to say - that we would have to do it in a way like you send me a check and then i will send you a bag because my e-store is down right now --- and i cant really pay to get it up and running at the moment -- but a few people from this site have bought things I have made before and can vouch for quality and such
I would love to get back into crafting If i could afford it - so this would help me so much - and help bring me out of my dept and also help spread VC love... so i would except this challange of bringing VC love to the masses ...

Stephanie

here are some past totes i have made with some comments on them




"Celebrity bags are in over here. The bag is extreamly high quality and is handy for every day purposes such as taking it shopping, to the beach or carrying your books in. I would have to say that I have used it every day since I received it. Thank you to Steph for making it for me, I love that bag. I take it everywhere now. It's really lovely." - Katie W./ Australia

here is a matrix bag i made a few of

Creative Endeavors / empty (poem)

« on: January 17, 2005, 01:24:25 pm »

I wish I were skinny and
I wish I were pretty and
I wish I was cute...
I wish any of that would make me feel better
and help me in life

we all have the exact same problems only at different times

I said you only live once
and with those words my walls came crumbling down
and without ristriction I became a girl again
however I have become more restricted than ever
and i sit on the shore alone with whispers of new beginings
but the tide is washing over me and erasing who i am
i'm drowning - this time there is no one to pull me out
i usually have no regrets - but i wish i had never spoke those words
everyone is owed something from me - and i have nothing left to give
i am frozen - i can't move - i can't be who everyone needs me to be
I need someone to take care of me

Creative Endeavors / My Usual Places (poem)

« on: January 11, 2005, 03:51:23 am »

I'll be in my Usual Places
Singing the songs Ive always sang
I'll be in the usual Places
you can find me there on days like these,
on days where I feel so alone
I'll be where I have always been
Right TherE in Your StuPid LitTle HeaRt
I'll be crying in the corner
SLAP a band-aid on me & heal me UP
Don't bother me
I'll be where I am on days That end in "Y"

Creative Endeavors / Back to Back (Poem)

« on: January 07, 2005, 03:47:24 am »

Standing back to back
I feel our grooves and bodies fit
take your time turning around and just be satisfied with the connection
comfort from your warm glow radiates and fills my spine with chills
standing backwards we see all around and always know what to expect
never thought i would have interest in you.

-Stephanie 5/04

Completely Off-Topic / Car Broken Into and the Rest of my day...

« on: October 15, 2004, 11:06:36 pm »

my live journal entry reposted here as a plea to massive cd collection owners

11:30 pm - oh my how does one like me even stay in once piece
my luck gets worse and worse
my car was broken into this evening for the prize of
a $25 portable walmart cd player with tape adapter (which the adapter was ripped in 2 pieces) and my collection of favorite cd's (about 50 in total)

AHH... people are so stupid sometimes...
grrr
what are they going to do with my local music, rare camp cd's and lesbian rock?
they can't sell that shiz - and they wont listen to it!!!

today I went through 5 hours of audience tapings of the Larry Elder show at CBS for the grand total of $35 for my time
I then met up with Ghisy at Melrose and we hung for a bit and Jessica (stargirl from nh.com and vc.com) came and I met her
I went home to get directions to Sagi (Israeli guy Sara and I met at Friday Night Live)'s Birthday Party in Santa Monica

I went to my 7:30 service at Beth Hillel to find they were already on the Shema and I wasn't even late --- so, then I realized it was a consecration service and they picked me and Susan Silverman out and honored us for being very positive additions to the congregation and religious school this year and gave us both silver kiddish cups - and I didn't even know I was coming to services there until like an hour prior...

after I went to Sagi's party he has wonderful friends and I met Marci and Sara there and we had a blast... Sagi walked Sara and I to our cars and Sara and I noticed my break in....grrr

So I am putting out a plea - I had so many cd's in my car that were stolen tonight - i know it's not right but most are irreplacable and i can't afford to replace the one's that aren't so if anyone has any of the following cd's they are willing to burn and send me - I would appreciate more than you would ever know....

-Sixpence None The Richer (the orange and brown cd w/ waiting room, kiss me, there she goes, etc)
-Fiona Apple (when the pawn)
-Fiona Apple (tidal)
-Indigo Girls (rights of passage)
-Ani Difranco (self titled)
-Ani Difranco (out of range)
-Poe (hello, angry johny, trigger happy jack)
-Veruca Salt (seether, get it back, etc)
-U2 (one, real thing, etc)
-Modest Mouse
-Saturday Mornings Greatest Hits
-Fleming & John (love songs, ugly girl)
-Garbage (stupid girl, rains, etc)
-Josh Joplin Band (superstar, dreams, etc)
-Soup (papasan, leisure suit, etc)
-Jennifer Nettles Band (both cd's)(these bones, at stake, etc)
-Soul Miner's Daughter (both cd's)(halleluah & sacred and profane)
-Camp Newman sings (1998)
-Camp Barney Medintz sing along (2000)
-Twister songtrack
-Great Expectations soundtrack
-Classic Queen
-Queens Greatest Hits
-Cardigans
-Lasgo
-Ian Van Dahl
-Musical Theatre Cd's (i had 3 of these) (background tracks and vocal tracks for altos and mezzo sapranos
-Empire Records soundtrack
-Jagstar (crazy place)

-Vanessa Carlton (Be Not Nobody)
-Tori Amos (Little Earthquakes)
-Julie Silver (walk with me)
-Patti Rothberg (between the 1 and the 9)
-Britney Spears (self titled)
-Britany Spears (britany...?? toxic, everytime)
-Cry Cry Cry
-Delta Goodrem (Innocent Eyes)
-Elton John's Greatest Hits (2 cd)
-Violent Femmes (greatest hits red and black cd- waiting for the bus, blister in the sun,36-24-36, etc)
-Nirvana (MTV unplugged)
-Vanessa Carlton Demo CD
-Jem
-Joss Stone (grrr just got it)
-Hilary Duff (Metamorphasis - just got it!)
-Sarah McLachlan (Fubling towards Ecstacy)
-Sarah McLachlan (Mirrorball)
-Lilith Fair (soundtrack)
-Jewel (Pieces of You)
-Buffy Soundtrack
-Buffy (Once More With Feeling) soundtrack
-Frente! (Marvin the Album)
-Cat Stevens (Tea for the Tillerman)
-Pink Floyd (Wish you were here)
-Rusted Root
-John Mayer (room for squares)
-Michelle Branch (spirit room)

those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head
thank god i took like 3 out of my car last night like dj encore
or else I would be missing those too

also i found a piece of broken cartalidge or broken one in my hand today near my middle finger in my right hand - i need to see a doctor about that

my bad luck sucks... i am seriously misrable - how can one be such poorly in luck ... i have so many positive changes in my life right now why does the negative shit overshadow all the good?

i know this is all material but some of that stuff was very rare and irreplaceable - so if anyone has any of those tracks... please consider sharing them because well i bought them once... i cant afford to buy it all again - that's a lot of money
