        Sorry, it took me so long to post these photos. I was lucky I even got the photos I did. My wonderful CF drive for my camera decided to stop working that day and then I had the worst time trying to get my hundreds of photos off the drive. Then it took me awhile to edit the photos as well. I'm still not done with all of them but figured I'd post what I have so far. 
       Anyway, Daniel and I had a wonderful time. I loved wearing my Alice in Wonderland dress again. I got a corset there which is amazing and I'm looking forward to getting a lot of use out of it. I also, got a signed copy of Cassandra Clare's book Clockwork Prince and since I'm currently reading the Mortal Instrument Series I was really excited to snatch the book up for an awesome deal. Daniel got a pocket watch which he's been looking for. I'm hoping to get into the vendors next year so I'm crossing my fingers. I think it would be a great way to get my business out there. 
        It's been slow lately on etsy. It usually doesn't pick up till September but I could use the extra money. I got a lot of ideas from the convention so I'm looking forward to bringing some of that inspiration to the shop soon. I also need to get ready for believe it or not but the Christmas rush. I couldn't believe how busy it was last season and my ornaments went like crazy so I got to stock up on supplies and get to making stuff. 
       Back to the Gaslight Gathering. I love all the costumes I see there. Daniel and I only get to go one day out of the three day weekend but it's always so much fun. There were a lot of Star Wars Steampunk and we know how much I love Star Wars. Also, there was the Steampunk Disney Princesses. Well check out the photos from the convention.

(All photos are taken by me please credit me and my blog. If you don't I will find you hunt you down)

Steampunk Jewelry - Amber Ily's Steamcrafts

 For those of you don't know, I make Steampunk Jewelry on Etsy. I haven't posted them on here yet so I'd thought I'd dedicate a post to showing everyone my jewelry. I love making jewelry. It helps me take my mind of things. The couple that I have posted here are a part of my spring collection. They have a bit more of a shabby chic look to them. Anyway, if you get a chance check out my shop. It's a lot of fun.

What I Wear to Disneyland

 

Disneyland is always my favorite place to go when my spirits are down and I need a day off. I've had a Disneyland season pass since my junior year in high school so almost ten years. I never gets old for me. I try to go once a month but both Daniel and I have been really busy lately and we haven't gone since December. Daniel and I went on a Saturday, which his least favorite day, but when he works Monday through Friday and I work usually almost every weekend I take whatever we can get. I don't really mind the busyness I have a handicap pass due to my really bad knee problem so I really don't have to wait in line most of the time.

 This is a usual Disneyland outfit. Something that has to do with Disney or Star Wars and usually a skirt (cause weirdly that's what I feel comfortable in) and my really ugly sketchers shape ups because I have a bad knee and it's the only thing that feels comfortable walking around all day in. Oh and I have my glasses on, cause I'm blind without them. Somewhere, in my mess of curls is a cute black bow that is keeping my curls out of my face. Also, if you can't see I haven't dyed my hair since December and it looks horrible, I'm going grey even though I'm only 24. 

 

The Haunted Mansion is my favorite ride of all time. I go on the ride at least four times when we go to Disneyland. The hall where all the ghosts are gathering and dancing is my favorite part. I want to live there. 

Daniel and I don't usually spend too much time at California Adventure. Most of the time we go to Tower of Terror and then head back over to Disneyland. However, there are some other new rides that have become a must for me and that is The Little Mermaid, I mean come on, it's the ride! Most of the time there really isn't a line so I love that because you cannot use a wheelchair pass for California Adventure. Also, I love Monsters Inc. and the Ferris Wheel (but only if you go on the swinging side). I haven't been able to go on any of the new Cars rides. Most of the lines are really long still while I would wait my significant other is a little too impatient.
