Hey everyone! &amp;nbsp;I know I have been MIA for quite some time now. &amp;nbsp;It was a much needed break with all of the different events that have happened in my life. &amp;nbsp;I am hoping to make a come back and get back into the blogging world once again.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Today I wanted to introduce you to one of my best friends, Megan, and her awesome Etsy Shop - &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MaebirdsCanvas?ref=top_trail"&gt;Maebirds Canvas&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;She has some amazing pieces in her shop that would make great Holiday Gifts for family and friends...especially if they are WINE lovers...this is the perfect shop for you!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
First up is my favorite...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DYv5HITZMAY/ULi_uCiLOMI/AAAAAAAAEP8/xmMwHPzUVvE/s1600/il_570xN.401947947_s1l9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DYv5HITZMAY/ULi_uCiLOMI/AAAAAAAAEP8/xmMwHPzUVvE/s640/il_570xN.401947947_s1l9.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
This painting is absolutely amazing! &amp;nbsp;The &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/116669996/red-and-purple-wine-painting-14-x-18"&gt;Red and Purple Wine Painting&lt;/a&gt; is done on a 14 X 18 inch canvas. &amp;nbsp;She can work with different colors to match any room, but how fabulous would this be for any wine lover in their kitchen. &amp;nbsp;It is modern, colorful, and has geometric design to it. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
If this one is just too big for you or you want something a little more simple, check out these two smaller canvas pieces.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/116672232/red-and-purple-wine-and-grape-paintings"&gt;Purple and Red Wine and Grapes Painting&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_m9SLNOKWso/ULjATeE7HjI/AAAAAAAAEQM/e3e3GoGpeIU/s1600/il_570xN.401957009_it8b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_m9SLNOKWso/ULjATeE7HjI/AAAAAAAAEQM/e3e3GoGpeIU/s640/il_570xN.401957009_it8b.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
These two pieces sit on 6 X 6 inch canvases. &amp;nbsp;They incorporate the wine theme in the bold purple and red colors. &amp;nbsp;Once again, she is able to work with any color scheme you choose. &amp;nbsp;The pair of these would go great above a wine rack at home.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Check out Maebirds Canvas for many more fabulous paintings! Don't miss out on a great opportunity for a fabulous Holiday Gift for loved ones.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Missed you all and I'm glad to be back in action!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Over the weekend on my project kick I decided to do a makeover to the much needed black ugly candlesticks that were on my living room table. &amp;nbsp;They were being used as decor in our living room, which the color scheme is neutrals - browns, tans, light green accent. &amp;nbsp;These black candlesticks just didn't go.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-puNshEQnc_k/UA69iGmGDCI/AAAAAAAAAoY/E2yL7slwWjs/s1600/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+041.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-puNshEQnc_k/UA69iGmGDCI/AAAAAAAAAoY/E2yL7slwWjs/s400/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+041.JPG" width="266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
First things first, these needed to be painted...plain and crisp white!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mnyJjLzwLEk/UA69_QAh4fI/AAAAAAAAAok/1hmorywnpMw/s1600/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+042.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mnyJjLzwLEk/UA69_QAh4fI/AAAAAAAAAok/1hmorywnpMw/s400/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+042.JPG" width="266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_qCE58dkeKk/UA6-AEJtEdI/AAAAAAAAAos/c-R_OLP1Usw/s1600/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+043.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="background-color: white; clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_qCE58dkeKk/UA6-AEJtEdI/AAAAAAAAAos/c-R_OLP1Usw/s400/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+043.JPG" width="266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I used a white matte spray paint, which took several coats, and covered it with a clear glaze to give them a nice shine.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Now it was time to decide WHAT to put on top of these candle sticks. There were three small round light green candles that sat on them before...they were old, never used, and just looked grungy. &amp;nbsp;GOODBYE CANDLES.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I wanted to do something clean and natural looking - the pottery barn decor magazine I had just looked at popped into my head and I knew what I wanted to do. &amp;nbsp;I wanted to decorate sytrofoam balls with fabric, ribbon, and burlap.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I started off making two of the three balls with the following materials...I still wasn't sure what to do for the last so I waited until the first two were done. &amp;nbsp;The lace ribbon was for one and the tan fabric was for the other.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;BALL #1&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;LACE:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I cut both types of lace into the following size strips.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
For the white longer lace, I started with one end and rolled it into a flower shape while gluing sections to the bottom as I went along.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HHzNT45aSkQ/UA7BYzYpblI/AAAAAAAAAps/bhXZrrjL22U/s1600/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+049.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HHzNT45aSkQ/UA7BYzYpblI/AAAAAAAAAps/bhXZrrjL22U/s400/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+049.JPG" width="342" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;as you move around the lace, bunch and glue to the bottom as you go&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UUN_l-Ya-Ks/UA7BZV1i8SI/AAAAAAAAAp0/ys39eoJeHGc/s1600/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+050.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="373" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UUN_l-Ya-Ks/UA7BZV1i8SI/AAAAAAAAAp0/ys39eoJeHGc/s400/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+050.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;a nice little white flower&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I followed the same technique with the larger yellow lace. &amp;nbsp;I first folded it it half horizontally, then with the open ends facing up I bunched and glued.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rqANLux8Oug/UA7B19Ka94I/AAAAAAAAAp8/2LhMHaBOzYE/s1600/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+051.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="286" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rqANLux8Oug/UA7B19Ka94I/AAAAAAAAAp8/2LhMHaBOzYE/s400/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+051.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I made about 6-8 flowers out of each color of lace and then attached them to the ball. &amp;nbsp;I did this in groups so I would only cut as much lace as was needed.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M4d1og8uaM8/UA7CHOxQIkI/AAAAAAAAAqE/xrALe7ukaGE/s1600/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+052.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="293" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M4d1og8uaM8/UA7CHOxQIkI/AAAAAAAAAqE/xrALe7ukaGE/s400/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+052.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Finished ball #1!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LquouajZL8Y/UA7CHnD11zI/AAAAAAAAAqM/lJL1sICHvgg/s1600/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+053.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="343" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LquouajZL8Y/UA7CHnD11zI/AAAAAAAAAqM/lJL1sICHvgg/s400/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+053.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9I-tNl7Dxzg/UA7CIaVYd6I/AAAAAAAAAqU/QVMTuEZuJxQ/s1600/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+054.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9I-tNl7Dxzg/UA7CIaVYd6I/AAAAAAAAAqU/QVMTuEZuJxQ/s400/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+054.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;BALL #2&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;FABRIC&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
For the second ball, I used a quarter of fabric that I had gotten from Joann's. &amp;nbsp;I cut the quarter into half and then half one more time (4 sections). &amp;nbsp;I folded each section into smaller squares - about 12-16 out of each section. &amp;nbsp;They don't all have to be the same size.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F6rLEP4Ee8M/UA7DYIPR-AI/AAAAAAAAAqg/EKNRlFSQJHo/s1600/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+055.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F6rLEP4Ee8M/UA7DYIPR-AI/AAAAAAAAAqg/EKNRlFSQJHo/s400/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+055.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
This was super easy and fast...take a square and push your finger in the center. &amp;nbsp;Put a small tab of glue onto the ball and push the center onto the glue. &amp;nbsp;Repeat with all the squares making sure they fit up against one another not to leave any sytrofoam showing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Ball #2 is complete!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Simple yet fabulous!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tPoU2nE8xl0/UA7D4dyrhuI/AAAAAAAAAqo/hqH37fKz-xQ/s1600/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+056.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tPoU2nE8xl0/UA7D4dyrhuI/AAAAAAAAAqo/hqH37fKz-xQ/s400/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+056.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;BALL #3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;BURLAP:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
After some thinking I decided to cover the last styrofoam ball in burlap rosettes. &amp;nbsp;I had just a few strands of burlap left over from a previous project so the scraps would work perfectly for this. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
To make a rosette, follow this fabulous &lt;a href="http://www.craftaholicsanonymous.net/fabric-rosettes-tutorial"&gt;tutorial&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;You cut your fabric into long thin strips then glue and twist your way around as you form a rosette flower.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Ball #3 is finished!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S0Kv91i13eM/UA7GACETVDI/AAAAAAAAAq8/z-o7Y1fMnYs/s1600/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+059.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S0Kv91i13eM/UA7GACETVDI/AAAAAAAAAq8/z-o7Y1fMnYs/s400/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+059.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
ALL THREE:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dDTHpKRdJfw/UA7GOETokvI/AAAAAAAAArE/f5aN2_DyGxc/s1600/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+061.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="280" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dDTHpKRdJfw/UA7GOETokvI/AAAAAAAAArE/f5aN2_DyGxc/s640/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+061.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Now put the fabric balls on top of the candlesticks and you have a beautiful new decoration!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

On Friday I posted some fabulous tutorials that I wanted to try out over the weekend. &amp;nbsp;Well one of them was some new artwork for the house and I succeeded!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I found this great tutorial on Pinterest of Crayon Art. &amp;nbsp;How unique and awesome! I love the combination of colors that were used here and the result of the wax on the canvas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7fwQK8aO9VM/UA1PY7sqANI/AAAAAAAAAmM/kzr6P1P_1uY/s1600/211880357439492779_mfu4IZL6_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7fwQK8aO9VM/UA1PY7sqANI/AAAAAAAAAmM/kzr6P1P_1uY/s640/211880357439492779_mfu4IZL6_c.jpg" width="188" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/268104984037613055/"&gt;via&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Following the steps found in this tutorial, I created my own masterpiece:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wOJEw4lSibM/UA1RRqwDM8I/AAAAAAAAAmo/4X0bWiKUH9k/s1600/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="312" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wOJEw4lSibM/UA1RRqwDM8I/AAAAAAAAAmo/4X0bWiKUH9k/s400/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+017.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;STEP 1:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Collect your materials...crayons, hot glue gun, cardboard, canvas, and hair dryer.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B4OjbdGhI18/UA1ReI81JsI/AAAAAAAAAmw/Ce_HTIbG7AM/s1600/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B4OjbdGhI18/UA1ReI81JsI/AAAAAAAAAmw/Ce_HTIbG7AM/s400/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+002.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;STEP 2:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Pick out your colors and line them up in the order that you like.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;STEP 3: &amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Glue them down on the cardboard once you are satisfied with the order.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lfSyWq3DPGs/UA1STHSceSI/AAAAAAAAAnM/7kkZmypFy5w/s1600/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lfSyWq3DPGs/UA1STHSceSI/AAAAAAAAAnM/7kkZmypFy5w/s400/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+005.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;STEP 4: &amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Set up your area...the cardboard I used was flimsy, so I had to tape it to the wall. &amp;nbsp;I put an old sheet behind in and on the floor because the wax does splatter. &amp;nbsp;Hang the cardboard so the edge of the crayons hang over the tip of the canvas.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vhDQv9CoOjI/UA1Skr7AxdI/AAAAAAAAAnU/-tbfU6BIR_4/s1600/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vhDQv9CoOjI/UA1Skr7AxdI/AAAAAAAAAnU/-tbfU6BIR_4/s400/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+008.JPG" width="266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;STEP 5:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Start blow drying...I used HIGH power at first to get the crayons heated up at a quicker pace. &amp;nbsp;I held the dryer over one section at a time until they started dripping then moved to the next. &amp;nbsp;The power of the dryer will blow the wax in various directs, so you need to play around with where you hold the dryer in relation of the crayons depending on how you want the wax to fall.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rdxsAyJn23Y/UA1TMAuAP4I/AAAAAAAAAnw/IEd4K-7rNNk/s1600/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rdxsAyJn23Y/UA1TMAuAP4I/AAAAAAAAAnw/IEd4K-7rNNk/s400/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+013.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VPXgQhTh1LU/UA1TMz0xzBI/AAAAAAAAAn4/DCXukWEmGiM/s1600/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VPXgQhTh1LU/UA1TMz0xzBI/AAAAAAAAAn4/DCXukWEmGiM/s400/Home+Decor+Projects+7-2012+014.JPG" width="266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
As you can see some of the crayons came off of the cardboard from the heat, so it is good to keep your hot glue gun close by.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
This takes some time to get EVERY space covered, so have patience. &amp;nbsp;I ended up flipping my canvas to help speed up the process.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
It is&amp;nbsp;definitely&amp;nbsp;worth all the time and effort though...it came out SO cool! &amp;nbsp;I wish I would have used more blues and less brown since the brown colors overpowered most of the others, but I still love it!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I have been super busy these past few months with weddings, showers, trips, and just lots and lots of activities. &amp;nbsp;I am excited to stay home this weekend and CRAFT! &amp;nbsp;I have a "to do list" of crafts I've been wanting to make for awhile but haven't had the time...I am hoping to at least get two if not all of these done.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;WALL ART&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I love painting and making something special out of a blank canvas. &amp;nbsp;It is very relaxing and I enjoy it a lot. &amp;nbsp;I have been wanting to fill up some empty wall space recently so I better get to painting!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
LOVE for the kitchen!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I LOVE owls. &amp;nbsp;They seem to be everywhere now from home decor to fashion. &amp;nbsp;These pillows are ADORABLE. &amp;nbsp;Not only would they be a great addition to my SweetP Portfolio, but they would make a cute decorative accessory on our guest room bed. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I have made a couple make up bags before, but of course I want more - a girl can never have too many bags :) &amp;nbsp;My sissy is also wanting a new make up bag so I want to make one for her.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I love all the different designs and shapes that you can make them in...a must is that it has to be BIG with a wide opening so you can fit all your larger essentials.&lt;/div&gt;

I have SO many plastic containers and glass jars sitting in my craft room just WAITING to be used for a project. &amp;nbsp;I have painted many of the glass jars for various things, but it's always fun to try something new. &amp;nbsp;I came up with an idea&amp;nbsp;in lieu&amp;nbsp;of my sissy's birthday today.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
A chalkboard canister!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ANYcMYtDCbM/UAgIo8mLCcI/AAAAAAAAAjg/LRCYIX5PGcA/s1600/Chalkboard+Container+009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ANYcMYtDCbM/UAgIo8mLCcI/AAAAAAAAAjg/LRCYIX5PGcA/s400/Chalkboard+Container+009.JPG" width="265" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Since my sissy lives in Columbia, MO I was not going to be able to see her today for her special day due to work. &amp;nbsp;I wanted to send her a fun package of goodies that she could open on her b-day. &amp;nbsp;I always like packing practical things, but also a nice homemade surprise. &amp;nbsp;What better way to pack up some awesome goodies in a plastic container that she can reuse as storage for something else!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Clean out your container REAL good to remove any&amp;nbsp;residue&amp;nbsp;from the contents it previously held.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PlooLCMfp-Q/UAgJKksSH5I/AAAAAAAAAjo/0F6hY-fZ7Pw/s1600/Chalkboard+Container+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PlooLCMfp-Q/UAgJKksSH5I/AAAAAAAAAjo/0F6hY-fZ7Pw/s400/Chalkboard+Container+002.JPG" width="266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Using freezer paper, parchment paper, newspaper, etc. and painters tape, tape off your area where you could like to spray your paint and cover the rest with paper.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hc2QrV1kTBY/UAgJMFCN3bI/AAAAAAAAAjw/3OyAz2qia7E/s1600/Chalkboard+Container+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hc2QrV1kTBY/UAgJMFCN3bI/AAAAAAAAAjw/3OyAz2qia7E/s400/Chalkboard+Container+003.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Using the chalkboard paint, paint the taped off area. &amp;nbsp;Spray 2-3 light coats, letting each dry fully before spraying the next coat on.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
The finished product! &amp;nbsp;I ended up making another one so I could keep it for myself and use it as craft room storage.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

I filled my sisters canister with a tank top from Target, fun glow stick bracelets and chalk for the front of the container.&lt;/div&gt;

This is such a great fun way to ship gifts with a unique presentation!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Happy Birthday SISSY!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Awhile back I posted about jars that I had painted &lt;a href="http://simplyfabulous-evanne.blogspot.com/2012/06/diy-painted-jars-and-containers.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
This weekend I was able to finish the project and make them into a bathroom storage unit. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
With help from Casey, I attached the silver metal clasps to a slab of wood and hung all 4 jars in a row.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
To do so, place 4 marks on the wood in where you plan to attach the clasps. Pre-drill each of these spots. &amp;nbsp;Taking the metal clasp (one at a time, making sure the adjuster is still accessible) screw into place through on of the notch holes.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Now they hang in the bathroom and are not only so useful but also serve as a decoration piece.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

It's all about the color this season. &amp;nbsp;First it was fun skinny jeans and now its migrated to shorts. &amp;nbsp;I love all the bright fun colors that are out this summer. &amp;nbsp;I currently have two pairs of colored skinnies - red and coral pink. &amp;nbsp;I need to expand and get some other colors and broaden my horizon into shorts for the summer.&lt;/div&gt;

This is another one of those stores that I don't go in often, but when I do they always have something that I want! &amp;nbsp;I love the style of American Eagle - sometimes rustic, rugged, and overall a great style.&lt;/div&gt;

One of my dear friends from college got married over the weekend to her best friend! &amp;nbsp;I have never seen her so happy! &amp;nbsp;You could tell that LOVE was present at all times during the entire weekend...so sweet.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I was SO honored when she asked me to make some signs for her wedding!! She is a graphic designer, so I know she has fabulous taste, but she still asked me which I was so grateful for.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I made a Mr. and Mrs. sign for the back of the bride and groom chairs at the reception:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
A sign that included their name and wedding date:&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
And a "Love is Sweet" sign for their sweets table along with an easel:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
They all turned out really well! &amp;nbsp;Especially the two by the sweets table...everyone loved them!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The bride, groom, and guests all commented on where they were purchased and were VERY surprised when the answer was "not purchased...hand made" &amp;nbsp;:)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This might be my newest addition to ETSY?&lt;br /&gt;
What do you think?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would anyone be interested in buying signs like these for a wedding/party/or simply having in their house?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Today is this pretty momma's birthday!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Both my sissy and I are so lucky to have a fabulous, strong, loving, caring, and FUN mother! &amp;nbsp;She is always there, a great support, and &amp;nbsp;is hands down the best at making any celebration special.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

With the weather being SUPER hot here in St. Louis, shorts is a must have to stay cool. &amp;nbsp;When I'm home or running errands, I want something comfortable to wear. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I have a pile of old clothes that I am saving for "new" projects and happened to have these two pairs of pants/leggings in there. &amp;nbsp;Perfect for making a couple new pairs of shorts for the summer.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Lay out your pants.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Using a pair of shorts measure the length.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I used my serrated edge scissors to cut the correct size. &amp;nbsp;It leaves a fun pattern and will keep the fabric from fraying.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Pair 1:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gKSn0nIm5SI/T_WU0D0aXuI/AAAAAAAAEHs/ggyYob5yF18/s1600/Grandma's+Funeral+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gKSn0nIm5SI/T_WU0D0aXuI/AAAAAAAAEHs/ggyYob5yF18/s400/Grandma's+Funeral+003.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Pair 2:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Both:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Now I have to new pairs of shorts. &amp;nbsp;They are super comfortable and great for doing yard work or cleaning around the house. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
What a great way to make use of something old you don't wear anymore!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Sorry I have been so absent recently.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&amp;nbsp;It has been a crazy couple of weeks.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Unfortunately, my family lost a very important member last week...our loving Grandma. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yh_no8raOhQ/T_LyM5HgFyI/AAAAAAAAAgU/dn7d0ZuYIes/s1600/P1020834.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yh_no8raOhQ/T_LyM5HgFyI/AAAAAAAAAgU/dn7d0ZuYIes/s400/P1020834.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
She was the ring leader of our family, our support, story teller, and all around a fabulous lady. &amp;nbsp;She brightened up a room when she came in and there was never a dull moment when she was around.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
She was not like most grandmas:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
- she loved martinis and took shots with us at any given time&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
- hear favorite saying was "Don't get old, it's a BITCH"&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
- she would not hold back when telling you what she wanted, how to do it, or what she was thinking at that moment..especially towards her two loving daughters&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

Most importantly, she was very generous, giving, and always there for our family. &amp;nbsp;It was hard to say goodbye and heaven is VERY lucky to have a lady like this up there now. &amp;nbsp;I know she will be with us all the time and watching out for us from afar.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I am semi obsessed with Guacamole. I never used to eat it and now it has become a delicious staple in my life. &amp;nbsp;It is DELICIOUS! &amp;nbsp;I have made it twice now from scratch at home, made it once for a party, and it has been a hit every time.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Here's what I make it with:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
3 - 4&amp;nbsp;Avocados&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Lime Juice&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Cumin&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Salt/Pepper&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
2 Cherry Tomatoes&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
1 cup chopped White Onion&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Peel the&amp;nbsp;avocados. &amp;nbsp;Make sure they are soft at the store if you plan on making this guacamole right away. &amp;nbsp;If they are hard, they are still ripe and harder to peel.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Chop up the&amp;nbsp;avocado. &amp;nbsp;This time around I decided to use my handy Ninja machine to blend together the&amp;nbsp;avocado&amp;nbsp;and spices. &amp;nbsp;It worked GREAT! &amp;nbsp;Do not add the onion or tomato until after the blending is done.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Chop onion and tomato into small pieces.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Add the blended&amp;nbsp;avocado&amp;nbsp;mixture with the tomatoes and onions in a bowl and stir. &amp;nbsp;Add more spices or lime juice for added flavor if needed.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Serve and enjoy!! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
YUM!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
This is a sure hit at any party that all will enjoy! &amp;nbsp;Also a great snack food for outdoor BBQ's or family gatherings.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I LOVE&amp;nbsp;re-purposing&amp;nbsp;what many think is "junk" into something fabulous and useful! &amp;nbsp;I have done a tutorial before of turning some containers into a trio of decorative jars here. &amp;nbsp;Those currently sit on a shelf in my bathroom and are the perfect decor! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I have since been collecting jars and containers to reuse and decorate but haven't had the time to get down to it...until last night!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I have a plan for the 4 jars you see above! &amp;nbsp;I want to attach them to a piece of wood 0 which is why they have the silver clasps around them - and hang them in my bathroom as holders for make up brushes, q-tips, and other bathroom essentials!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I started off gathering by jars up - which had been washed several times to make sure they were free of whatever item they once held. I picked out four colors that I thought were fun, bright, and would go great in the bathroom.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lZak9LhuHxo/T-Mly6kzh6I/AAAAAAAAAdU/DHh-uSZ_GaY/s1600/photo+(10).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="476" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lZak9LhuHxo/T-Mly6kzh6I/AAAAAAAAAdU/DHh-uSZ_GaY/s640/photo+(10).JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I filled each jar with about 4-5 squirts of paint. &amp;nbsp;Make sure to space out your squirts...that way you can spread it around to cover the most space in the jar.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7-SB2svx3v0/T-Ml0hckGKI/AAAAAAAAAdk/HRXxu9LeTHY/s1600/photo+(7).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="478" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7-SB2svx3v0/T-Ml0hckGKI/AAAAAAAAAdk/HRXxu9LeTHY/s640/photo+(7).JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
It takes awhile for the paint to spread. &amp;nbsp;Set the jars on the sides so the paint can flow down the jar...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QKcMtdvnEPo/T-Ml1ZMukoI/AAAAAAAAAds/9AG_6O8npA4/s1600/photo+(8).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="478" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QKcMtdvnEPo/T-Ml1ZMukoI/AAAAAAAAAds/9AG_6O8npA4/s640/photo+(8).JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Roll the jars round a little to help the paint move...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TfP6w7CxNaA/T-Ml2tZbqMI/AAAAAAAAAd0/0WkOj5tldyQ/s1600/photo+(9).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="478" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TfP6w7CxNaA/T-Ml2tZbqMI/AAAAAAAAAd0/0WkOj5tldyQ/s640/photo+(9).JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Set them straight up and upside down to get the paint to cover all areas of the jar. &amp;nbsp;You may have to add in more paint as time goes on.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-swlVStbaBdI/T-Ml3XvhS7I/AAAAAAAAAd8/oR0J5mPQdOs/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="478" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-swlVStbaBdI/T-Ml3XvhS7I/AAAAAAAAAd8/oR0J5mPQdOs/s640/photo.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
It takes an hour or so including placing the jars in different positions. &amp;nbsp;The paint tends to move slowly once it gets spreading, so be patient!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XnH1VQSmWoQ/T-MlzhcoaLI/AAAAAAAAAdc/GrR5vbHkr7s/s1600/photo+(5).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="478" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XnH1VQSmWoQ/T-MlzhcoaLI/AAAAAAAAAdc/GrR5vbHkr7s/s640/photo+(5).JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
After letting them sit upside down for another hour towards the end of the night, they were finally covered!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I didn't have time to attach them to the wood slab and put them up in the bathroom yet...but that is to come!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
While waiting for these containers to spread, I decorated two larger plastic containers for storage in my craft room ...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;TIE DYE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I absolutely LOVE these new shorts from &lt;a href="http://www.shopconversationpieces.com/"&gt;Conversation Pieces&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;They were the perfect item to wear this week while it is 90 degrees here in St. Louis. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&amp;nbsp;The fun bright color is nice for the summer and I love the high waste on them. &amp;nbsp;It is perfect for a business casual outfit to wear to the office. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
The material is super soft, made of Polyester and Cotton, and are super comfortable to wear. &amp;nbsp;They are light weight which is also very nice for the hot summer season. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Ever since Jenni from I SPY DIY has been dipping her clothes in bleach and dye, I have become sort of obsessed! &amp;nbsp;I tried out a &lt;a href="http://simplyfabulous-evanne.blogspot.com/2012/06/diy-bleached-jean-shirt.html"&gt;bleach dip &lt;/a&gt;this week and next on the list is a dye dip.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Here are some fabulous dipped clothing items that I will use as inspiration for my own dip:&lt;/div&gt;

This is a great DIY that is SUPER easy with a fun result!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;MATERIALS NEEDED:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Bleach&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Bucket&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Jean Shirt&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Start off with your jean shirt - or any item you are wising to bleach (shorts, pants, etc).&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tWDzCEOxRI4/T9iSdztBxQI/AAAAAAAAAYw/nFaFToYintQ/s1600/Bleached+Jean+Shirt+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tWDzCEOxRI4/T9iSdztBxQI/AAAAAAAAAYw/nFaFToYintQ/s640/Bleached+Jean+Shirt+001.JPG" width="425" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Pour about 5 cups of bleach into your bucket. &amp;nbsp;If this is not enough, add more until you can cover the bottom half of your clothing item.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9BfLzo5eCxw/T9iSepc9nPI/AAAAAAAAAY4/4Z4BW40MI3Q/s1600/Bleached+Jean+Shirt+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9BfLzo5eCxw/T9iSepc9nPI/AAAAAAAAAY4/4Z4BW40MI3Q/s640/Bleached+Jean+Shirt+002.JPG" width="425" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Lay your item in the bucket of bleach and let it soak. &amp;nbsp;I tied the arms together so they wouldn't fall into the bleach bath.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6DnqaS9v5sc/T9iSfX6uBHI/AAAAAAAAAZA/URCSPtWDtaY/s1600/Bleached+Jean+Shirt+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6DnqaS9v5sc/T9iSfX6uBHI/AAAAAAAAAZA/URCSPtWDtaY/s640/Bleached+Jean+Shirt+004.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Let it soak for at least 30 minutes or more. &amp;nbsp;As you can see it turned dark on me as I was soaking...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PKYrKXR8JdI/T9iSgXS9_bI/AAAAAAAAAZI/T_9X6GebMpg/s1600/Bleached+Jean+Shirt+006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PKYrKXR8JdI/T9iSgXS9_bI/AAAAAAAAAZI/T_9X6GebMpg/s640/Bleached+Jean+Shirt+006.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Once it is white enough, take it out and through it in the wash.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Now you have yourself a cool new bleached out shirt!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kkmlO6mb4O4/T9iShXAXKbI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/qgBNuKid0c8/s1600/Bleached+Jean+Shirt+009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kkmlO6mb4O4/T9iShXAXKbI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/qgBNuKid0c8/s640/Bleached+Jean+Shirt+009.JPG" width="426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I am sporting it today and work and loving it! &amp;nbsp;This dual color is great for the upcoming summer season...it really lightened up this heavy looking jean shirt.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mSffODKO6xM/T9iUmHX4PiI/AAAAAAAAAZc/jYU4rFRsKGQ/s1600/photo+(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mSffODKO6xM/T9iUmHX4PiI/AAAAAAAAAZc/jYU4rFRsKGQ/s640/photo+(1).JPG" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I can't wait to try some more items!! Switch up it and instead of using bleach, dye the bottom half with a fun color! &amp;nbsp;Refer to I Spy DIY blog for more fun bleaching and coloring ideas too!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

This weekend was full of laughter, fun, and lots of girl time with a lot of great friends in KC. &amp;nbsp;We were celebrating our good friend Brandy's upcoming marriage at Bachelorette Party!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
We had a BLAST! &amp;nbsp;We went to Power and Light in KC, bar hopped, and had a fabulous time!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

As I think you all know, I LOVE fashion and I LOVE to shop! &amp;nbsp;I can't say that I do a whole lot of online shopping - it is hard to know what fits and it always looks different online than in person. &amp;nbsp;But I can tell you two online boutiques that I LOVE and will continue to shop at...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Kki La'Rue&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;amp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Conversation Pieces&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I have items from both of these online boutiques and absolutely LOVE them. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-X8v9OAmYJh8/T89YDUE8yvI/AAAAAAAAEFM/ki3ugk5b2Xk/s1600/157958_219676051430559_90893323_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-X8v9OAmYJh8/T89YDUE8yvI/AAAAAAAAEFM/ki3ugk5b2Xk/s320/157958_219676051430559_90893323_n.jpg" width="275" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Kiki La'Rue is a very fashionable online boutique with reasonable prices. &amp;nbsp;They take those items that all women want but can't afford in "expensive" shops and make them available at reasonable prices. &amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I own their Southhampton Linen Pants and absolutely LOVE them!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I brought them with me to the Customer Conference and they were perfect - they are so comfortable they don't even feel like dress pants, but they look so nice...it was wonderful!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
They have fabulous dresses at affordable prices, great tops and bottoms for every occasion, and super cute handbags!&lt;/div&gt;

I own the &lt;a href="http://www.shopconversationpieces.com/cuddle-up-knit-tee/"&gt;Cuddle Up Knit Tee&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and it is one of the most comfortable shirts I have. &amp;nbsp;I sleep it in quite frequently actually it is SO comfortable.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I absolutely love just about every item that Conversation Pieces has to offer. &amp;nbsp;They have so many great basics that I want them all!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
