mounds of mail*joy

what a WONDERFUL day. the weather is truly perfect. It's 70 degrees with a cool breeze and SUNNY! omg I'm loving the weather as long as it stays beautiful out. it makes me yearn for summertime. only 2 more weeks! then I can ride my bike to the library, go walking with my dog, mow lawns, repaint my bedroom and all the other things I love so much about summer. :] 2 more weeks...

This weekend was Operation Prom Makeover for ian's sister, Riley. I love that girl seriously. She was GORGEOUS. Renee (ian's mom) asked me to make her jewelry, do her hair, and take photos which i LOVED doing. I ended up making a hairpiece for her too. here's a select few shots from the event:





She was a gorgeous mermaid inspired princess. love it.

Also, this weekend was KNITTING TIME! I finally finished-count em- 3 BOWS! here's a pic of 2 of them that i attached to knitted headbands i made!

I have plans to make many more and put them up in my shop. I think I'm off to get more yarn tonight! Hobby Lobby's yarns are on sale right now and they have lots of choices. I want mango, grey, and magenta. <3

Today in the mail i got CRAZY amounts of happiness. I got my package from Paper crafts regarding the RAK i won. o.m.g. i never expected to get this much stuff seriously. The photo i showed in the last post is a photo of all six winners' prizes together but they SPOILED US. seriously I about died. lol

Also, this little lady was kind enough to send me THIS STUFF from her Mom's scrapbook store and I was excited to receive that package today too!

She got me the American Crafts Backyard Collection, 4 packs of thickers, a uniball signo in white, and some Stickles in a shade called "Mermaid!" How perfect is THAT? Thanks darling dearest!
