So CUTE!

Lately my little AVJ has been a little HEADBAND crazy. Well...she's a little hair thing crazy lately(wearing 10 hair clips at the same at some point in the day), but especially headbands. Anyway, I found this lady's SUPER CUTE headbands and a tutorial. I'm trying it TODAY! It's gonna be so cute with my girls Easter Dresses.

...sorry for the lack of pictures. They will be here tomorrow. :)

TULLE WILL BURN...and so will your fingers if you aren't careful!

OH! Look at these little pretties! I got the idea here at The DIY Dish. I personally think the people on Studio 5 are just a touch annoying, but they always have cute stuff on their show. Anyway, there are two different flowers on the video, but the part where they show you these kind of flowers is toward the end of the video. I thought it was such a cute flower and it'd be way cute for a hair clip. I used a candle, some tulle, a jewel, and a little matching felt for the back. They were SUPER QUICK AND EASY! I did manage to burn a big whole in the middle of one of my flowers on accident and I burnt my fingernail...oh well what do I need a fingernail for anyway? Its hard to pay attention with 2 crazy girls running around. Maybe I should do this kind of stuff at night?

So...at I Y Faces they are doing a constructive feedback day and I want in on it! I missed out last time because I didn't realize there were only 40 people allowed!


Anyway, I really love this photo. And, while I can take a decent picture, and "fix" it in Photoshop Elements 7, I really don't know what to do with the camera to make it so I don't have to "fix" it if I don't want to.
What are your thoughts? Let me have it!

*forgot to mention what bugs me...the pictures seems to ...I don't know, have a little bit of a purple to it. also, i like photos that are really bright and clear how do I get that look? Do I need to just break down and go get a better lens?*

a good luck kiss

So, I went JoAnn yesterday. Just looking for nothing in particular. I found these funny little lip buttons and knew I had to put them on a little felt shamrock. But, I didn't make it big enough to put a hair clip on the back and...I felt like it needed a little something else. So, I went to Target this morning and saw some rainbow socks for $1, cut them up and made a yo-yo to put on the back. Pay no attention to the quality of the picture..I had to go where the light was. What do you think?

RAAAAAAAARRRR!

Just a little snap from our visit to the zoo last week. The weather was soooo nice we couldn't stand to NOT go to the zoo!
