To Blog or Not To Blog...

I've been MIA.  Again.  I'm lacking motivation.  For school, mostly.  I know I'm almost done, but I just can't seem to find the light at the end of that tunnel.  It's really frustrating.

I haven't even had the motivation to create anything.  I made myself a Fourth of July wallpaper, only because I wanted it to match my new case. 

And, as a result, I closed my ETSY shop temporarily.  Knitted items are not that in demand right now.  Who knew?!  You can go to my shop's Facebook page to continue to purchase through Paypal: Becca Itzel Designs.  When I have time and when it gets cooler (ha), I will reopen.  I am actually taking a Computer Science class right now and am learning how to build my own website, so hopefully I can create my own shop site that's all my own.  I'm actually kind of excited about this.

Since I'm considering blogging again I will add some personal stuff here as well.

I joined a group on Facebook to help motivate me to be healthier.  I love it.  With the exception of my best friend, the other women are strangers.  They're awesome.  We all have a common goal and it's to be happy in our own skin.  It's wonderful.  I see a difference in myself I haven't seen in awhile.  I am 3 lbs away from my goal weight and my BMI and Body Fat % are in the healthy range.  I've never been a super healthy person, overall.  I walk every day on campus between classes.  And Texas State is not a small campus to walk!  Add me on Fitbit if you're interested: Becky

The kids are great.  The boys started the summer off with a bang.  They got to go with my dad to NYC.  We have family in the Bronx and they loved every minute of it.  Jackson got along so well with everyone and Caleb got to soak up culture and history.  I hope to take him to DC one of these years.  Izzie is spending time with her father and but will be home within the next week.  I'm glad she is able to feel comfortable here and with her dad's family.

The boyfriend and I are doing well.  We got to have a couple weekends alone while the kids were on vacation.  I really enjoyed the time we got to spend together.  It's rare.  Houston was especially fun because I got to hang out with a couple I went to school with AND see my childhood best friend.  I can't wait to go back. :)

Any way, there's the update on my life.  Hope you're all well.

Desktop Wallpapers

I thought this was a cute idea.
My desktop is now organized & I can easily find the folders I need quickly.  Much better than searching 'Finder' lol.
If you're interested in something similar to this let me know! Thinking of charging $5 for custom desktops. The more intricate the work, the higher the price. But only slightly.



Let me know what you think!



Been a long time..

Hey y'all!
I haven't posted in forever.  Life happens some times.  Like pulling all nighters (or half nighters) for finals, kids involved in multiple things, one kid turning 13 (gasp!), oh..and my house flooding (boo!). But I'm back and am excited to be adding new things to the shop and here.  Here are a few freebies for y'all.

Pineapples..because I'm obsessed.



I'm working with new techniques and I love the way this one turned out. Hope you do, too!


Enjoy!

MLB Wallpapers

I just got done creating wallpapers for all the Major League Baseball teams.  I love the way they all turned out.  Hope you all do, too.  I'm putting them all in one folder. $1.50 to access them all.
Enjoy!
Examples of what I have on my phone:

I have created some more initial wallpapers with quotes to go along with them.  I really like the way the gold "wreaths" turned out.  $2.  Enjoy!

Spring Wallies

I was inspired by today's sunny weather and Lily Pulitzer's fun prints to make my own spring like wallpapers for my MacBook and my iPhone.  All 3 sets are available for $3.  When ordering, please leave the initials you'd like monogrammed.  Thank you!

On a totally unrelated note..

The kids and I took bluebonnet photos on Saturday and I got them back last night and they're just so beautiful! The joys of living in Texas.  Of course, I was suffering from an allergy attack from hell afterwards, but it was worth it.  My friend took them.  She's great at what she does and if you're local, you should check her out: Bella Neela

Here are a couple of my favorites.
