these two little girlies are the cutest of friends.

last week, they were both going to be fairies in their dance recital, and being a fairy required special fairy make-up!

so, my friend rebecca and i decided to take our girls to lunch after their morning rehearsals… we all had lunch at the nordstrom cafe’, and then headed right on over to the mac counter.

this was their first time, for both girls, at the mac counter for makeovers. {obviously!}

omgosh. i was rolling. these two cutie-patooties were crack-ups! they loved every minute of it & i was dying at some of their expressions in the pictures!

i will let the pictures speak for themselves:

oh my my –

we are still going non-stop around here to prepare for our yard sale…
less is amore, so we are clearing things out!

i couldn’t resist making this cute cardboard cash register!
seriously, i could make things out of cardboard as a career!
big-time-obsession! {hey, my kids like it – gives them something to play with later!}

i was inspired here, on oh, hello friend blog. then, the same cash register popped up on pinterest. and, as i’ve said before – i love pinterest. best invention this year. have you joined yet?!? if you need an invite, let me know.

soel swap

May 26, 2011

if you are sticking around this weekend {memorial weekend} –
i highly recommend cleaning out your closet today & tomorrow,
then heading over to soel for a clothing/shoes/accessories swap!

we will be headed to southern utah, but if i was here – this is where all my goodies would be going!

EVERYONE is welcome to sell… buy… swap!

the swap takes place just outside the soel doors…it is good to price your items before…
also it is good to somehow distinguish your items from other peoples with your initial on a tag or a symbol etc.

IT IS FUN… and SO nice to clean out your closet and make some money off things you never wear.

diy: goodie bags

May 26, 2011
i will be doing this. because- isn’t this idea adorably brilliant and affordable!?!

if it wasn’t so late, and i wasn’t in the middle of packing… i would start making some right now!


and, think of all the possibilities…

recycled newspaper
wrapping paper
brown kraft paper

so many darling ways these could be done!

however. i would recommend putting the treats in plastic, or a zip-lock bags before the paper goodie bags.
for sanitary reasons.

has anyone ever made these? do you have pictures?

i’m thinking these could be cute for so many holidays & parties!
