Christmas 2011

My boyfriend got me a sewing machine for my birthday/Christmas!!! So excited.  I'll have to do a how to video of me breaking it in!

I love this picture of me and my sister! I'm the one with the broken leg. I made the collage in Picassa from pics I took in early December. That's my dog! She's beautiful, I know.

Inspiration Board

All project obsessed girls need an inspiration board! How else will you know what project you want to tackle next? So, I decided to make one.



The idea, or inspiration, for this project struck me while I was at the dollar store, which in my neck of the woods is known as 99 cent plus. (That name is kinda funny, see, they have a sign that hangs at each register notifying shoppers that everything is really priced at .9999 cents and therefore will be rounded up to nearest dollar).  I came across these cute display boards that were all framed in different colored plastics. There was a chalk board, a dry erase and a cork board.

Let's be honest, I was at the dollar (err... 99 cent store) so I wasn't sure about the quality of a chalk or dry erase board, so I settled on the cork board. As soon as I had, I realized, hey I can make an inspiration board out of this!
