I love Studio 5!!! Brooke and Darin are so nice, and are they that happy all the time? (every time I've talked to them it would be a resounding YES)!!!  Ok so being outside put a different spin on the segment.  I was sweating and not because I was nervous, ok a little from that be we were right in the sun and it was sooooo hot!!! 

The wall and window blew over a few minutes before we started shooting so we were cleaning up broken glass and rearranging the dots it was so funny then my necklace broke and there were beads every where!! The cute camera guys said ok things happen in threes you should be good to go now.

I have the tutorial on the dots that  will be up later today and the book paper chandelier will be up this week along with the sign up for the wreath class, so check back in soon.  Thanks for watching!!!

Party Dots hit the spot!

When you have a backyard party don't you wish you could cover up your fence or blank wall with something spectacular???  This just might be the fix you are waiting for, an easy inexpensive way to cover that wall.

First take a drive down to the local dollar store and grab some hula hoops.  (Please test out the hula hoop in the privacy of your home as your hula hooping skills may have faltered over the 20 years or so since you won that neighborhood hula hooping contest)

There are many ways you could cover these babies, but I'll show you the way i did it, with extra yards of material.

first lay out the material on the ground and set the hula hoop on top of it.  Gather in the edges and tie in a knot.  tuck in any pieces that might be loose and pin if necessary to keep in place.

Turn it back over and pin on your photos.  You can hang a frame with ribbon that i pined to the back of the dot, or just pin on the photo that has been embellished with coffee filter flowers or ribbons what ever your party calls for.

then add ribbon and lots of it,  You all know that I'm not afraid to go a little bit over board with the ribbons.  Just grab 5 or 6 coordinating ribbons and tie them together in a knot. add flowers and pin to the front of the dot.

To hang I just threaded some embroidery floss and pulled it through the top. I will use this to tie on it the 3M hooks that will be on the pillars. Such a cute way to cover the brick and make it sweet to look at.

Done!

I'll post the final tea party photos the first week in June after the shower, so stay tuned.

This is a welcome sign from a party I did last summer come in and play!

New York in the spring

 Getting ready to take the red eye out of town!!! We know  we are not at our best at midnight but that's reality. Lets get this shopping trip started.

Hello New York skyline.  My friend Ash said make sure we look up and so we did amazing!!!

D&D building 14 floors of designer goodness!!!

I love to travel and I love going to New York every year To see my sister and to shop in New York City. But this year my sis had a baby and I knew shopping in the city was out this time a round, so when my dear friend B invited me to go to about 75 design stores ok more like a 100!!! I jumped at the chance to shop material, ribbon, trim, decor, both high end and artistic and even one china town store :).

My favorite part is my dream store and I do mean dream store. I read a book about the beginnings of this store how it dame to be where they found there treasures (Paris) and have dreamt about going to see it ever since. So when B said do I want to go I almost cried!!! I truly could have stayed in that little jewel box of a store for days, or moved in for that matter. But instead I bought antique spools of thread and ribbon little buttons and lots of ideas for projects!

Thanks B for making my dreams come true and for all the other little treats you showed us, like the linen wholesalers where I bought 10 yards of heavy weight linen for my couch redo ( more on that later) and 6floors of heaven in ABC home store my new favorite store!!!! and don't get started on the food Lady M's cakes hello still craving it!!!!

 

50th wedding anaversary

This party was so darling!  My cute friend Toni asked me to help do a banner and one of my coffee filter 3 feet letters (well  numbers in this case).  I loved the colors green and black and lots of silver.

                 ( hard to see the green glittered letters but isn't this so sweet a banner is such an easy way to add color to any wall just use 3m hooks)

                                     (easy little napkin wrap with a straw)

(don't you love my cabinet doors? just add chalkboard paint)

She had a fun candy table with lots of jars of  yummies,  We did a dyed coffee filter flower for the top of giant pixie sticks for a bouquet of darling flowers for the kiddies. 

Toni your parties always turn out so cute!! you can see some of her fun baskets she does for missionary's at missionarymunchies.com
