Late Again

It was my little munchkins birthday yesterday and I didn't get around to announcing a winner. So here it goes. The winner is...Islay I will put your magnets in the mail on Monday! I hope you enjoy them! Have a Happy Halloween!

Whatever Happened To...?

Do you ever wonder what happened to your favorite reality show winners? Well I was surprised to find out that Jay McCarroll's (winner of project runway season 1) recent project was designing quilting fabric for FreeSpirit Fabric. And it is really quite darling. Check out a couple of my favs.From his Woodland Wonderland lineAnd his Garden Friends line

P.S. Today is the last day to enter the giveaway!

And the tutorial is...

I know. I know. This was supposed to go up on Monday. I really needed to take a break from all extra curricular activities though, and tend to a few things closer to home. I also had a hard time figuring out what to post about. I kinda wanted to do something Halloween inspired, but it is getting a little late for that. So instead I decided on something useful for your kitchen. I had some cloths Pins left over from the last tutorial so I decided to make some magnets. Sorry for repeating cloths pins, but they are easy and cute. So here it goes.

CLIP MAGNETS

MATERIALS
Cloths Pin
2 Craft Magnets (Not too strong, level 3-5)
Scrapbook Paper
Pencil Scissors
Mod Podge

DIRECTIONS
1. Trace with a very sharp pencil around cloths pin, and cut out.
2. Spread layer of Mod Podge directly onto cloths Pin.







3. Place strip of paper over Mod Podge.







4. Spread a second layer of Mod Podge over paper. Let dry 15-20 minutes.






5. Glue magnets onto back of cloths pin. Let dry 15-20 minutes.

Not My Favorite Ending...

I loved the Project Runway finale... but I wish the winner would have been Korto. She was my favorite from the beginning. I must say though I'm just happy it wasn't Kenley. Here's the big question though. Did she or didn't she rip off other designers work?
If she didn't she must be a mind reader. What do you think? Take my poll to the right.

Postponed

I was supposed to post a new tutorial tomorrow. However my sweet Mom is coming to visit and we are going to be out and about having a ton of fun! So I'm postponing it until Monday Oct. 20th. So check back then.

What Have I Been Working On?

I've been typing, cutting, gluing, stuffing, sealing & addressing these invitations for an "S is for..." themed 1st birthday party. I couldn't be more excited.We will be dinning on sandwiches, salads, salsa (& chips), sweets, and soda. We will be playing Simon Says, I Spy, and Sock Mania. So if you are coming over be ready for a super fun soiree!

I got this idea here

Miss Pickle Bottom

You know the ones. The beautiful diaper bags that every stylish Mom seems to be carrying around these days. The ones with the gorgeous Oriental inspired prints. The bags that are so easy to throw on like a back pack and jet out to go shopping.

Well I don't have one of those.

Oh I do have a Petunia Pickle Bottom. Mine is just a little different(click here to see a picture). It's green wool. It could also be described as a "guyper" bag. My DH loves it. And you know what I love it too. Well a few months ago it broke on me. Needless to say I was a little disappointed. You know what though. I called and talked to the company. I spoke with a lovely lady and she said all I had to do was send it in and they would either fix it or replace it. Now that is what I call customer service! So if you are trying to decide on a Diaper Bag for an upcoming new addition to your family I would have to recommend a Petunia Pickle Bottom. Not only will you look oh so chic carrying it but they are a great company!

The Dissappearing Eye Hair

This is my eye (I made it small so that I wouldn't scare anyone when they pulled up this page with a huge creepy eye). I used to have really nice perfectly shaped eyebrows and really nice thick eye lashes. Over the last few years though they have become thinner and thinner. I have stopped plucking and shaping them because I'm afraid they are going to fall out and never come back. I know I should be using an eyebrow pencil but I'm lazy. I really don't want to add another step to my make up regime. What I really want is my stinking eyebrows back (I'm not so worried about my lashes if all else fails I can get extensions someday). So the question is does anyone know of a way to grow back eye brows. Take a certain vitamin or mineral? Anything? Or am I stuck for the rest of my life with ugly thinning eyebrows? HELP!

The Latest in Headbands

So everyone has been blogging lately about Ban.Do headbands. They are gorgeous although I'm not sure if I have the guts to actually try them out. I'm not sure I could pull them off. It would have to be worn to the right event with the right outfit. Anyway I just wanted to let you know of some other sellers who make similar styles.

Sew Sephine

The first one is my favorite however this last one might be a great starter for someone who is a little timid like me.
