OH YES She Did


Ok, so I mentioned my girlies have been attending parties and such.


 The latest included dancing...and lots of it.


Girlie did the WORM ~


in that formal dress I loaned her.


HAHAHA, 
oh yes she did.

Random Ephemera Dress




I've got random ephemera strewn about and I love when they come together:










I gave this to my daughter for a recent formal she attended.


With three teen girls...it's ALLL about dresses, shoes and dancing this month.


I'll be an expert with all the ins and outs of pretty & such by the time it's over. ;)


 By the way, you can NEVER go wrong with a classic black dress.

In a pinch, one of my girlies actually used one I wore like, 14 years ago.


It was a classic style and she dolled it up with a belt and jewelry.


It seemed I wore it like, yesterday.


Man does time fly!

Washi & Floral



I was blessed to win a gc to Newton's Nook at the Coffee Lover's Bloghop and I got to use one of the sets here.

Boo Boo Confession





Okay, confession, I fixed this boo boo before actually posting it
recently (but here's the original photo).






(stamp:Verve Words of Wisdom  dies: My Favorite Things Cross Stitch Oval, Avery Elle-ments Dotted Dies)



I couldn't get past the glare rising from the top left chunk glitter.

I know it's not earth shattering, but whenever I looked at this pic I couldn't NOT see it.

I've reorganized my craft space recently, and well,


  YAY ME I found this tool which I lost, like, 

a week after buying it 3 years ago.




It's an adhesive remover.


It's for removing adhesive.


hahaha...miss obvious me~


I've MISSED this little guy.


He helped me get that "what's that smear" off my card.

Even if you didn't notice it, trust me,

it would have mugged one of the innocent cards in my stash.

 Its greedy, sticky hand would have ripped off a rhinestone, sequin or anything else of importance.


Yay for Darnell's super cute idea~

I used to hate April Fool's (it has me all skittish cuz I'm an easy mark), but celebrating BOO BOOS is right up my alley!

Even if you don't have a pic to share, tell the story and show the cleaned up version.
 
We wanna know all the deets, kay?
