Advice. . .

Just a bit of advice. . . when you run out of your bare minerals makeup that you love don't go back to using the old makeup that you used to use - it might make your eyes swell almost shut by the time you get out of bed the next morning - then your face might get really red and become really itchy - and by the time you get to work it might be really swollen - and the school nurse just might give you a dose of Benadryl and then tell you to call the doctor - you just might have to make an appointment in the middle of the day because you feel like you are going to claw the skin off of your face - the doctor just might give you a medication that keeps you up all night - ok so you might get to sleep at 4:30 and then awake to the alarm at 5:30. Remember, these are just some of the "mights" - how do I know this? Let's just say, take my advice. . .

My creations in action. . .

Emily got to wear her Minnie shirt and her matching headband I made her to see the Disney show on Saturday. Isn't she just adorable?!

Easter Wreath. . .

Wow - 2 posts in 2 days and another completed craft project. If only Spring Break lasted a few more days! I had seen this cute Easter wreath on another blog and decided that I wanted to try it. It was very inexpensive to make and really easy! I think it looks super cute hanging on the front door.

Finally, some progress. . .

I've been on Spring Break all week (gotta love working in the school system) and had grand plans to get lots of crafting done. Well, if you know me you know that I have the best of intentions that just don't always happen how I want them to. My bestest friend (yes, I know bestest is not a word but I like the way it sounds!) Michelle always laughs that I work best when only a little time is left. Unlike me, she plans way ahead for everything and it stresses her out that I wait until the last minute. It's Friday, the Friday of the END of my Spring Break, and I got some things done. I have made lots of little bows for some cute little girls, several woven headbands and today I made 2 appliqued shirts. I have been wanting to try applique on shirts for a while and Michelle wanted a cute Minnie shirt for Emily to wear so I decided to try it! I am hooked! It was so much fun and I loved seeing how they turned out. The goldfish turned out to be my favorite but I liked them both! I can't wait to make some more!
