I'm back...

from vacation that is. Marc and I went to Lousiana to visit some of his relatives down there. My mother in law came with so that was interesting. Lousiana was...well, HOT. The food was good but it was really hot. Since my last post I have been busy thinking up a name for my little business and I think that I am going to use 'The Littlest Detail'. What do you think?? it's cute, it's catchy. I like it. My sister got married on June 20th and I promised I would share some pics of that so here they are: The first one is of the bouquet I made for the bridesmaids, in the pic is my sister, the bride.Here's a pic of the brides bouquet, my sister LOVED how this turned out with the bling and the wrapping treatment on the stems.

Here's a close up of the embossed vellum overlay on the bridal shower invites.
Here's the full shot of the shower invites.
Here's the inside of the tea length wedding ceremony programs.
and the outside of the ceremony programs.

yep..I'm gonna do it.

I'm gonna start my own small business.  I'm not sure what I'm going to call the business itself but I am going to call myself a Party Detailer specializing in invitations, party favors, and gifts.  I've been kind of going back and forth with the idea for awhile now and I'm just gonna bite the bullet and do it.  After helping my sister pretty much do everything for her wedding- I thought ya know, I can do this and make MONEY!!!!!  I'm not gonna be one of those OUTRAGEOUSLY priced handmade things people, I just want to make unique things for people that they can't find anywhere else.  So I'm gonna do it.  I had a blast helping my sister with her wedding odds and ends and just want to do it now.  So wish me luck! If you have any suggestions or questions please let me know :)  I'll post some more pics of the projects we made for my sis' wedding soon!!

Good Morning All!!!  I have been a spoiled little girl...well at least my hubby spoils me.  I broke down on Thursday and bought an iMac- yeah I am in LOVE!!!!!!  So I have been playing around with alot of the features and since my iMac has a built in camera and video camera.  I took a few pics here is my fav......  

I also FINALLY cleaned out my other closet in my craft room and now just need to make a top for my new sewing closet desk.  Next on the agenda??  Get another white pantry cabinet for my overflow of stamps and paint my room green.  :)  We'll see how motivated I get.  I will have to try making a tutorial video sometime with my new toy!!!
