So the Craft Fair at Beasley Colliseum was a hit!!  We sold tons, but I do have a few things left.

This tin features the saying by Shakespeare...To Thine Own Self be TRUE.

It measures 10 inches tall by 24 inches and stand  off the wall about 1/3 inch.

This tin also has a wire in place and is ready to hang in your home.

If you're interested in either of these...email me and I can send an invoice via paypal or we can do a personal check and will ship as soon as check is cleared.  Don't forget to given me your shipping information.

I also do custom orders.  Is there a saying that you'd like on a tin or board.  I can cut and ship it to you.  Or I can even paint and apply the vinyl of your choice and then ship it to you. 

Sweet Dream Light box night light

Here are the Sweet Dream light boxes that I made. They are a 8X8 inch glass block, with a 35 white light, white strand of lights inside and covered in 2 inch ribbon.

They have 6 year outdoor strength vinyl on the front.  They make great night lights for newborn with all those mid night checks and feedings.

I'm made them to sale at the WSU Mom's weekend craft Fair and in my Etsy shop.  I'm interested in what colors are everyone favorite and which I should make more of.

Valentine's Day cupcakes

I know it's way past Valentine's day, but I had to show you the cute cupcakes that my mom and I made.

My mom was put in charge of doing a cupcake walk at a church Valentine's carnival.  So I was helping her decorate her cupcakes.  So I used a star tip from Wilton (pick one that works best for you, the smaller the less icing in an area, but more rosettes you'll have to do to cover the top of the cupcakes) and made small rosettes all over it.  Make sure you get your icing stiff enough that the ridges from the star tip remain in your icing.  Above you can see that this icing was a little softer than I would have liked, cause you don't have the stiff ridges.   You make rosettes, by starting at 6 on the clock, (so at the bottom) and then squeezing your bag with even pressure and then move the tip to 9 o'clock, 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock and then back to 6 o'clock and release the pressure slightly as you lift. Repeat to cover the entire top of the cupcake.  

We then covered them with cute sprinkles, while the icing is soft, cause it does harden with time.

  

Then we made the cute cupcake picks with Stampin' Up scalloped circle punch and the Love you Much Stampin Set, with Real Red and Basic Black ink pad, and Real Red and Pixie Pink Stampin' Write markers.  We found that we liked the black inked stamp image better and just backed them with another scalloped circle punched from Real Red card stock.  I just had some leftover red grosgrain ribbon from years ago and decided to add the bow to the toothpick that was placed between the 2 scalloped circles!!

Goodie Bag

So I made this gift bag for a gal at church for her birthday.  It was so fun and I filled it with candy!  What could be better.

I used the latest season colors from Stampin' Up Paper with a Designer Series Paper (DSP).  I pulled out the white embossing powder and then colored the background to make the white POP!!  And I can't forget the fun decorative punch edge and white organza ribbon!  It also had a cute Stamp that said "Yummy for your Tummy"  I love it!

Let me know if you want directions on how to make the bag and I'll try to get a great tutorial with lots of pictures!

Pacifier holders

Needless to say....life has been crazy and had tons to do.  I have been doing some crafting of different sorts, but haven't even had time to post any.  So here just a taste..  Pacifier holders.

It took me a while cause I had borrowed the button snap pliers from my mom and had a really hard time getting it to work.  I couldn't figure it out, so I thought that it was cause they wouldn't work with the smaller snap.  So I went and bought my own pliers and then I figured out that I was placing the snap in backwards and that's why it wasn't working.  I know.. I'm STUPID! But at least I figured it out on my own and not having it pointed out to me.  Maybe that's why it took me so long to actually get these completed.

So I really like the playtex pacifier holder (above), cause it's big enough to have 2 snaps, but my little girl doesn't like the shape of them so I had to use these ones and I just tied it to the end.
 For those of you that go out in public a lot and have problems keeping the pacifier from falling on the ground!!  These ARE Great.  I also like that when my little girl is in the backseat while I'm driving.  I can always reach back and find her passy cause I know it's attached to the end!!  Hope you enjoy!!  There is much more on the way!!
