my project............

 

 

Next weekend will be our first Paper Crown Glittered Retreat.  The project I will be teaching is this sweet little old fashion undergarment hanging from an old coat hanger with a little hideaway opening under the picture frame to hold a small photo book...........the photos can be added later in the book and if the girls want to use their own photo in the frame it can be added later too! 

 

Our retreat is less than a week and last minute preparations are taking place!  We are so excited!  See all  you who have signed up next week.

kits................

 

 

 

One of the things about teaching classes is trying to remember how you made it and to make sure you have all of the products you will need to complete the project!  I have forgotten plenty of times how I have constructed something and if you have been in one of my classes you will know what I mean.  I try to write things down and take pictures but once in a while it slips up and you just have to admit you forgot! ( and the reason is sometimes you make something for a class sample and the class isn't for 2 months) And many many times we run out of supplies or can't find enough of what we need.  With the retreat coming up it's not just something you can put together in a day.  All of the teachers will agree with me.  It takes a little time to make the kits and to be sure you have made it as easy and our time allowed for the student so they can go home with a complete project.  So this is what my table looks like this week.  It looks like a Shrink factory..........

 

I may be a little slacking on the blog in the next week because of getting ready for retreat but just hang with me and I will try to do my best..........

 

Happy tuesday everyone........

stripes/polkadots/doillies/velvet/ribbon/lace............

 

 

these little legs are back..........these legs have been around for several years in classes.......big, little, nametags you name it and they have been used!  Just something about them make me think fun and girly...........this is just a sneak peek........they will be available saturday May 3 at our Spring Glitter Market!

black and white..........

 

I think I am totally finished with making dolls for a while.  Thought I finished a couple weeks ago but had several gals say they wanted the black and white doodling dolls.........so I got with it and made a few more..........they are all finished and ready to pack away for a few weeks until saturday May 3 Glitter Market at the Paper Crown.  (They will have a limit  1 per customer. )

Each doll is different and hopefully will speak to those who come!  Like I have said in recent posts about these dolls they have been so much fun ( and alot of work).....If you all ever have the chance to take an online class from Danita do it!  She is a fantastic instructor...........

 

 

 

Okay .............hope you all enjoy the weekend and I hope to have a few more goodies next week! Until then create something fun today! 

the first day of spring...........

 

Well it's finally here........we got rid of January and February and now its March 20 the first day of SPRING, and if your like me I am so ready!  This winter has been long and cold...........If you follow this blog you know I am a HOT weather person..........I am always ready for Spring and Summer and I am so excited to start the best of time of the year..........Let's enjoy this together one day at a time!

if you wondered......

 

If you have wondered why I haven't blogged in a few days this is the reason why..........our best friends son plays for OU ( Tyler Neal) and it is his senior year,we had tickets for the entire time and needed a little break ( my husband needed a break) so we headed north to Kansas City for the Big 12!  And let me just say I have never been to that many basketball games in a row in my life.  We got there on wednesday  for 2 evening games............then 4 games on thursday, 2 on friday and the final one on saturday.......so if you count those all up you have 9.......wow!  I think I will retire from being a basketball fan for a while.  No not really but we did have a great time watching and being in the big City!  The weather could not of been any more perfect for walking around and just enjoying being away for a few days. 

I now need to start kitting up my class things for the RETREAT in a few weeks........it will be here before you know it and we are all getting really excited!  Cindy has really gone above and beyond to make this special for all those in attendance.

Hope all of you spring breakers have a fun week......be careful and stay safe!

bracelets..........

 

 

 

 

A few years back I bought these plain black plastic bracelets......not knowing what I would ever do with them until the other day when I was looking for something and came across them.......well as soon as I saw these black little things I knew exactly what to do with them.......so the doodling continues!  My husband asked me the other night what all this doodling was about.........?  I just looked at him and he knew better than to ask me a question like that!  Anyway I have had fun and it has been  more of a challenge because its circular and slick!  Not like on paper or the dolls that are painted!  Anyway this was a fun little project and of course they will be available at Glitter Market!

 

Oh happy tuesday!

the cute little pink car.............

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Being married to a FORD man for over 40 years you never know what may roll up in the driveway!  This cute little pink car is the newest on the driveway...........it's not a show car by no means but it is just an old stock car with really low miles for a 57 thunderbird. It has been sitting in an old warehouse downtown Oklahoma  City for years ! NOw this cute little pink car is sitting in mine!  

 

It's a bright sunny and hopefully warm day here........I am going to go out , enjoy and soak up some sun....FINALLY!

 

Happy Monday.............

glitter/chalk/fur/embossing powder/glue/modpodge

 

 

 

 

With a giant easter egg cookie sitting by the fur, glitter, glue, mod podge, chalk and embossing powder we had it all going on and I'm sure it all ended up flying into the cookie............we all just blew it off and ate the cookie anyway.............

I think this class finished in record time last night.  I got in my car looked at the clock it was 8:00........( Thank You Nan and Cindy for helping me clean up and get out the door). Anyway they all finished and walked away with their cute little easter egg.

 

Oh and by the way girls did any of you notice I had two different earrings on........I just had to laugh when I got home and realized they were not the same.  My husband asked me if anyone said anything  .....?? Oh well you all know me by now and I just laughed to myself........ maybe I will start a new trend! You girls are the best and I feel lucky to have the Paper Crown to teach and  that you all sign up to come.  Thank You!

 

(Shelly and Cathy we left a little fur and glitter in your kits so you wouldn't feel left out)

Thought we needed a Paper Crown mascot.........

 

I am about 95% finished with this batch of DOLLS!  I still have a few little tweeks and little doo da's to add but for the most part they are ready to pack up and wait for Glitter Market in May.  

I am going to go to the next project that I have no idea what!  I need some inspiration..........does anyone out there have anything they want to share...........

 

See you girls tonight in class............it's an all out Easter Egg hunt!  Not really!

 

Happy thursday..........
