Happy Shoes that once were Sad...

My night time ritual after getting the kids in bed is putting together my outfit for work the next day. I look over my closet, decide what to wear from shoes to earrings. Tomorrow I'm wearing brown dress pants, tan-sort-of-military jacket, mustard color blouse with a bib type of ruffle thing going on on top and a leopard print scarf........the shoes is what i usually mull over for a while. The deal-breaker on the shoes is usually decided if can I walk in these or will my feet be hating me at the end of my shift? Flats are usually my go to shoe and I remembered that I had a pair of satin ballerina flats in a gorgeous chocolate color I could wear! Whoooo! Happy Dance!

Then I realized, that the last time I wore them, the jewel embellishments had fallen out.

I thought about tossing them out and then the lightbulb went on.


l just make something to cover the embellishment. I quickly went through my ribbons and lace from my scrapbooking stash and found something that would work.....then gathered my supplies: glue gun, glue sticks, scissors and brown lace. Made a few lace trim rosettes and glued those suckers on!


So my sad shoes that almost bit the dust have risen from the ashes and transformed into a cute pair of ON TREND flats to wear!
Happy Wednesday Peeps!

It's May already? Where has the time gone? We are almost halfway through Twenty10! I've been playing with paper and glue lately and recently came up with this layout featuring the new Spring Tags from Shabby Shic Crafts! Loving the awesome Springtime colors and cute designs Veronica and Albert have come up with this time around. This silly little picture of me and my daughter was taken from one of those token taking machines that take your picture and the computer "draws" it out on paper. You know the the ones they have at Chuck E. Cheese type of places? Of all the pictures I have, this has got to be one of my favorite ones I have of me and my baby girl when she was about one and a half. A little closer. loving the cluster above the picture.

Hello!

Hi Friends! Can I start by saying that it's been a while since my last blog post? After a long vacation away, this little blog is going to have a comeback. Yay! A new look? Yes. A new topic. Yes and no. Still crafty? Yes. Long gone are my days eating and breathing everything scrapbook related and talking about silly sparkly vampires but my love of creating is still there. That never and will never ever go away. I still love the idea of scrapbooking and creating art. Putting ideas and memories on paper with pictures. Creating keepsakes and using paint, embellishments and stickers to make masterpieces. It will always be a part of me that love. I met alot of really great people throughout those scrapbooking years and still communicate with them daily. But Honestly, truly, I just don't put the time in to it that is required to do it and to do it well. My poor 4 year old might never have the scrapbook his big brother did or a published scrapbook page about him in a mag...
