Not to keep you in suspense or anything, but. I thought I'd FIRST announce that I did decide to do a calendar. You can see what it will look like
HERE*. As of writing this post, it is not yet available to purchase in my shop, but will be later this month. Hopefully sometime next week.
Moving on to relieve your baited breath, to release the death grip you have on the edge of your seat.
The winner
is
ALISHKA!
Please email me to claim your prize. If prize isn't claimed within 3 days, I will, unfortunately for you, have to pick a new winner.
And happy Birthday to Tianna. I love you and think you need to come visit soon. The end.
*Some pictures subject to change from when this first posts. It will be finalized by tonight, though, probably.

For information on a spur-of-the-moment giveaway I am holding, Read On!
Dear friends, family, acquaintances, strangers, guests, readers, and anyone else who happens to stumble upon this blog,
Remember last year, when I created and listed
two (
2) calenders on Etsy? Here is my question: Do I offer calenders again this year? If I do, I need to get on the ball and start figuring them out now. If I don't, well, then, you know. I don't need to worry about getting on the ball for them.
Please leave a comment on this post telling me your opinion. Leaving said comment will automatically enter you to win any one (1) 5x7 print offered in
my Etsy store, or you may choose one that is not yet offered there but IS posted to my
Katria's Creations Blog. For a second entry (Re)Tweet this on twitter! Make sure you include my username (@katrialy) in said tweet.
Deadline for all entries is July 8 at 3:30pm, Mountain Daylight Time.
Take Luck!

I am totally in love with a new movie. Robin Hood. I think I need the soundtrack, and also to see it a few more times before it comes to DVD. And then I'll buy the DVD. (Also, I had no idea who Russell Crowe was/is, other than being some famous dood. So my love of the movie has little to do with him.)
Made the Trifecta an appointment to go PARAGLIDING in two weeks! We will also be going to Timponogos Cave. That makes two goals to check off my list.
Dad and I went and applied for our passports today. Fees paid, pictures taken (awkwardness abounded at that appointment, but you get used to it when you're me). Now we just wait. I am saying goal accomplished.
I finished The Sister's sculpture. Before her birthday. Mission accomplished, and really adorable, too. Take a look at it on my
Other Blog.
I went the whole of Tuesday without speeding
at all. Very hard. Didn't even go 1 mph over the speed limit, as best as I could tell. I think I annoyed a lot of people that day.
I purchased a quilting book at work the other day (with my points, so, really, I didn't spend any money on it. Sweet.). It has a few other projects in it, but I'm super excited to find the perfect fabric to make the perfect quilt. My only issue is that I want to continue in the tradition of hand quilting, and I'm not so sure how that is going to work out. Quilting frames are not cheap, and I haven't the money with which to buy them.
I found a photography contest to enter. Now I just need to take the Perfect Picture.
My car is still clean since I washed it last Saturday. Well, except for the fact that it rained tonight while I was at the theater, so I guess I might need to wash it again.
I have been attempting to spread the word of my Etsy Store, in an attempt to accomplish my goal associated with that. I have also relisted and listed a bunch more photos. Go look. (Banner at the end of this post links directly to my store.)
On that same note, I have ordered some new business cards from Promo Pixie (on Etsy), and judging from the image she sent me, I am going to love them. Word.
I am more than 2/3 done with the blanket I am knitting. Good thing, too, because I'm getting tired of that craft again. Also, yarn lint is getting everywhere.
I keep looking at the doll I have sitting in a box in my office and I think about getting them on display. That's about as far as this goal has heretofore gotten. Maybe tomorrow, before work, I will get a jump on this for reals.
Other plans for tomorrow include seeing The Karate Kid with The Dad and The Sister, cleaning my kitchen from when I made dinner tonight, and going to a job that will soon make me break out in shingles on a regular basis. (That is a story in and of itself, which I am not currently at liberty to blog or even talk about. Especially since I do not yet know all of the details. Someday, though, and probably soon, I will share.)
And, hey. While I'm at it, the basic rest of my schedule for the next week.
Sunday: Church. Presidency Meeting. Visits. Home Teachers are coming over. Need to schedule Visiting Teaching myself. Dinner with the familia.
Monday: FHE, weather permitting, actually sounds exciting. I may go this week, just to give the bishop a shock. No work, thank goodness, thus I will spend a good hour or so cleaning my house. I especially need to dump all the trash and clean someone's poo-box. And vacuum.
Tuesday: Close at work. Same story as always.
Wednesday: Dentist appointment to get my teeth cleaned. Not my idea of fun. Especially considering the fact that it is fairly early in the morning when I'd rather be sleeping. At least I will be able to go home and take a nap, though. Close at work, again.
Thursday: OPEN at work. Weird. Afternoon is currently promising a nice nap. Probably.
Friday: OPEN at work again! Have no other plans, yet.
Saturday: OPEN at work for the third day in a row, but only because I managed to get someone to trade shifts with me. Immediately following work, I shall drive up to the North country. I expect to get into town around 8. Not sure what the rest of the evening entails, except for sleep.
And, there you go. A bunch of side notes to keep you sufficiently satisfied, I hope, as well as updates on the goals I am working on and have already accomplished. 994 days to go! Also, a bunch of random crap about my coming week that you probably could care less about. The end. I am sleeping now.

Hey, kids.
Remember how
I told you I was selling a calendar over at yonder
Etsy? Well, I've got a second option available now! (But I really need at least 2 of the first option to sell. Just sayin'.) You can preview it
here and see it in my shop
here. Also, my first order of the first calendar arrived to day and I have to say that they are pretty awesome!

So, I'm thinking in my spare time (ha, funny) I want to make cards and then list them on etsy. What kinds of cards do you think I should make? Birthday? Blank? Sympathy? Thank you?

OK, people. I've decided (sort of. Vaguely.) which pictures I'm going to offer on etsy. Next question. What size?? Help!
(I kind of expect anyone who commented on the
last post to comment on this post. Don't disappoint me. And, of course, I still welcome input on the
other post, too.)

I thought for sure I had a list of all the free things I've been given since moving to CA, but apparently I do not. This is slightly disappointing as I can't quite remember everything anymore.
But, moral of the story is: people keep giving me things. For free. For example: today I finally made it to the floral shop/design school that I've been meaning to go to for about a month and talked to the owner. He gave me the bouquet he made for his class today, a topiary design he made for his class earlier this week, and some stems of my favorite flower ever (orchids, duh). Also information about the school, but I asked for that and haven't looked over it yet. But I didn't ask for the flowers.
Also, I'm in the beginning stages of setting up
my etsy shop. If you want to see Specific Prints for Sale, then you should probably tell me which ones you think will sell. You should probably tell me that, even if you're not going to buy any from me. Because I've only had one person comment on that part. So here is a link to the last post about that:
Etsy PrintsAnd that's all I have to say about that.

So, I've been thinking about this for a while and I've maybe had a few encouraging comments from some people, but I need help making decisions.
So anyway, there's this place online called
Etsy.com. Maybe you've heard of it ("Your place to buy and sell all things handmade"). Going along with their motto, I've been sore tempted to try to sell some of my photography on their site (I would sell clay things, but I haven't time or supplies for that right now). What I need from you, faithful readers, is input. A) Do I go through with this idea? and B) If so, which prints do I offer to be sold?
This Link includes everything I have posted under the "photography" label. Below you will find a few of my "favorite" images.
