Extreme Face Painting 50 Step-By-Step Demos
A few days ago I was contacted about reviewing a super cool face painting book, and I couldn't turn it down. I don't do a lot of book reviews because I don't have a lot of time, but when they are picture books with very few words... well, they fit my busy lifestyle! So as you can see above I have been busy already! I had a blast painting two of my four children's faces within an hour of receiving the book. I am by no means an artist (which probably shows) BUT I would even do this to the … [Read more...]

Anywho, I love decorating for Halloween, and we lost most of our decorations last year, so know I'm rocking some super cute new decor! Take a look at the … [Read more...]

I have been thinking about customizing some ornaments for gifts and thought it would be fun to try heat embossing. This is the result of that … [Read more...]
