Great inspirational quote of the day:

Hollywood Sweet 16!

I love any party theme but the Hollywood theme gets a little more love because you can be as glamorous as you want. I was tasked with making the rep carpet stanchions and "velvet" ropes and a mini step repeat background for a Sweet 16. For the stanchions : concrete, small pie pans for the molds, PCV pipe, caps and sleeves (they might not be called that but you get the point), glitter tape, glitter sealer (it is a must trust me), 7/8" gold cup hooks and a drill to make the holes. For the "velvet" ropes : installation tubes, fleece fabric, red ribbon, and plenty of hot glue 😉

Sleeping On Clouds (Baby Photography)

There is nothing sweeter or more angelic than a sleeping baby. When my son was a baby I could stare at him for the longest time just admiring his little features and waiting for him to smile on his sleep. Little Miss A'Niya Mecole inspired me to make this scene to photograph her sleeping so angelically. I used her changing table and most materials were purchased from my favorite store Hobby Lobby : the sky background (bulletin paper), fabrics, flowers, and clouds (pillow stuffing).

Minnie Mouse banner (revised!)

Ok so I made a Minnie Mouse banner for a friends daughter, but I got an idea to make it better (I am always finding ways to make something better or at least my own). Here's the revised finished version: And here is the original: Much better huh? Glad I visioned another way before I adhered the letters! Additional views: The project cost about $5.00 to make. Materails: 2pk 12x12 black glitter paper from Target (scrapbook aisle)- $0.99 Pink polka dot ribbon from Michael's Craft Stores - $2.00 (on sale) Chipboard circles (packaged as a chipboard book with 5 circles on a key ring) from Michael's Craft Stores - $1.00 ea pink, black, and white paint (on hand) sealer (on hand) gloss varnish (on hand) Aleene's clear gel tacky glue (on hand)
