Whooo Hoooooo!!

I am so happy to announce that I have been selected to be on the Design Team over at Cookin' up Creations! It is a great site with lots of fun challenges and lots of friendly people. Come on over and take a look...

So excited.....

I have some news...but I can't share yet! Soon Soon Soon!

Vintage Style

 

The girls decided to go through my old dresses in the attic. Yes, I actually wore these when I was in college. I can't tell you how many times the girls said "Mom, I can't believe you were this tiny" Hmmmmmmm. They were pretty cute though!

and this last one was actually my mother's formal dress that she used to wear to Publishing conventions.

As Seen on TV

 

You know those adds for products on TV that always make you say "does that really work?" Well we tried the strawberry growing thing...and even though it really is pretty ugly, it really does work! Izzy was so proud of her strawberries...and would check on them each morning.

Fun with Picassa

 

Just a few seconds of editing and ended up with a really fun pic of the girls!

Myrtle Beach

 

We had a lovely week in Myrtle Beach with the Luty Clan. We spent our time playing on the beach and in the pool and playing lots of cards.

Final Project

Juliet had a final project in her fashion merchandising class which required her to make a dress out of plain muslin. They were allowed to color it and sew or glue it into any stlye they wanted. She dyed her fabric using tempra paint and made all the rosettes around the collar. We decided that it would look much better on a person than the manequin, so we had Izzy put it on.

 

Izzy made a beautiful model!
