Straight Through My Heart

My boys have a new single. It's a good one, if you ask me!!! But of course I love dance/techno-ey music so I couldn't be more thrilled! Do you agree?

For Jaron

If it weren't for my nagging friends, I would probably never get any projects completed.....I'm not finished w/my bathroom yet but I'm getting closer. So Jaron....here you go....a few pics of my progress....

Five months ago I introduced this project in this post. The paint has been finished for awhile....next I painted frames and added some gold touches.
I love the way these look w/nothing in them but what I have to put in them is even more fabulous--they are French cosmetic ads from magazines in the 50s. Plus then I glittered them--probably my best glitter creation to date! :) (Wow does the possibility of that make your head spin?) I hope to have them up soon....

A few accessories.....I gold leafed 3 cherubs--one on the counter and these two....

....which are completely ruined by this ridiculous light fixture....must fix that too!

And a close-up....I just used a little spray adhesive and the gold leaf stuck perfectly. It's really worth more than it costs....but then again it only cost me 99 cents for a huge pack (from Savers of course).
I am sooooooooooo glad I decided to paint over the first green which now looks apple green compared to this. I love this color so much! And thanks to my sis who finished the painting whilst I was in Australia!

Zoey

My little sweetie is truly the cutest thing ever. Don't you agree?
This is a picture of her at Color Me Mine last weekend--one of our favorite places.

We get to have sleepovers all the time and I must document this so that I will remember it for all of time. Before bed she lays out her clothes for the next day...

That was her 4th of July outfit. Sometimes there are earrings too! :) I must try this myself--it surely would save me a few minutes in the morning. Or maybe I should just try going to bed at a decent hour....

Pop's Wedding

On June 24, my baby sis got married! It was such a fun day (was a lot more than one day actually)--such a fabulous party! Here are a few highlights (some are my photos but the really good ones are from her photographer--Brock Best. Oh and a few are from her bestie Natalie so I can't take all the credit)...
I was the stylist of this one....
A new twist on the oak doors of the temple...


The happy couple....

My family (sadly Carmy & Micah got the chop)...
Mikey, Zane, Zoey....so hilarious!
Carmy wearing Lindsey's shoes....
