33

It is early early early on June 15th. My birthday was only minutes ago. I turned a nice big whoppin' 33. mmmmm 33333333333333 a magic number. It's gonna be a good year.

I'm going to do 33 things this year that I will be proud of.
#1. Did karaoke at my b'day party. What a laugh!

I'll post some pics soon of my neat-o tiki cake and some awesome prezzies.

More shoes

Our friend Carla passes down clothes her daughter has outgrown every once in awhile. We loved these cool red shoes for Miss B, but they were scuffed (like the one on the left), so we fixed them (like the one on the right.)

What do my shoes say about me?

1. I love fun shoes so I must love fun things
2. I prefer practical to glamorous, but still with some flair
3. I'm a little bit punk rock! :P

Unframed

This is a super easy, fast, and cheap craft to do with photos. This would be fun to do with a group of friends, so if any of my local readers are interested, let me know and we can get together ;)

You'll need:
a photo (if you can't order a square one, you can cut down a 4x6 or 5x7 yourself. Mine is 5x5)
Square piece of wood 1 inch bigger than your photo all around and as thick as you want it...doesn't really matter)
piece of scrapping paper the same size as your wood
modge podge or craft glue
double sided sticky tape (I use xyron's cheetah)
sand paper
your finger ;)

1. spread the glue thinly across the whole surface of the wood and then lay your paper on it. Use the edge of a debit card to push out the air bubbles. Use some more glue on the edges if they are peeling back. Let this dry a little bit.

2. apply double stick tape to the back of your photo and place in center of scrap paper

3. Using sandpaper, start scraping the edges of the paper. In a couple of places you might want to sand a little harder to make it look more randomly worn. Also if you want sand the edges of the photo and in different spots of the photo

voila! have fun!

Tiny terrariums

So cute terrariums are sooo last month, but in case you needed an idea of something fun to do, I thought I'd share.

If you are doing it with kiddos, you should really include them on gathering the supplies. I let them each pick out their own animal....though I did kind of manipulate B's decision a little bit...T picked up tiny lava rocks at his grandma's house, B used some from the front yard, we looked for jars at the thriftstore (we got lidded ones because they really wanted to use sand and not moss), neither of them wanted the real plant I had, so we used some plastic pond plants. It took only a few minutes to put them together and they so rock!
