One Skirt

Posted on April 27, 2012 by

There is a fashion challenge going on over at Fresh Modesty right now, you have to wear one skirt for three days with different tops and accessories. I thought it would be fun to participate with a skirt that I don’t wear enough!

The three blogs that are hosting this are:

Fresh Modesty

What I Wear, What I Do and Why I Did It

Day one:

   

I’ll have to post some closeup shots of the buttons on this skirt, they are amazing!

(Oh yeah, the t-shirts in the first picture are from plopping… oops!) 🙂

  • Skirt: Goodwill
  • Top: Kmart (sale)

Stacked Magazine Bead Earrings

Posted on April 18, 2012 by

I found a project on another craft site that used magazine beads to make some earrings, so I decided to try making up my own magazine bead earrings! I really like how they turned out, and I already had some magazine beads made so it was a quick and easy project.

I was looking around today for jewelry making inspiration and found all sorts of good stuff on several websites. I decided to try making some of those “cluster” necklaces that have a bunch of beads or charms at the bottom. Here is my inspiration:

      

Mine are a little more colorful, I guess I’m in a spring mood.:)

Oxford Pumps

Posted on April 4, 2012 by

I have been admiring oxford pumps online for a long time, I don’t know why I like them so much but I do!:) They are all so expensive (at least too expensive for me!) so I have never thought about owning a pair. But I found a pair at Goodwill for $4.99! *squeal*

Report Dinah shoes from Amazon = $84.55

Adrienne Vittadini = $87.99

Christian Dior = $880.00

My Goodwill oxfords = $4.99

Wilton’s Cake Leveler

Posted on March 15, 2012 by

I just wanted to share one of my favorite tools for cake making, Wilton’s Cake Leveler! You can buy it Here for only $3.49! You can use it to level off the top of your cakes (my cakes always used to crack because I never leveled them) or to make thin layers of cake. I recently made a chocolate birthday cake using the leveler to make thin layers of cake with chocolate icing in between them.

Beautiful Photoshop Forests

Posted on March 9, 2012 by

I’ve seen a few photos of “pink woods” and other colorful forests on Pinterest, most of them are not real. There are plenty of beautiful trees in all sorts of colors, but hot pink or bright blue are probably not real. I wanted to share how they are made so you can make your own “pink forest” without having to travel to the wonderful location that doesn’t exist.:)

This is my starting photo of a wooded trail:

And this is after I’ve worked on it…
