4.17.08



Update: All of my extra INSPIRED class kits I assembled that Donna was selling on her website are sold out. (almost 100 of them!) So sorry if you didn't get one. If you did, please email me if you have any questions about the project!

Hey, Jen Compton... the playlist of the songs I played in my INSPIRED classes is about three posts down, buried in my INSPIRED review. :) (look near the Ipod photo) How's that for getting your attention? lol

Today my sweet friend Jana came to Austin, something we've been planning for quite a while! We met at Starbucks then headed over to my favorite store in the world, Uncommon Objects. I picked up these old chipboard bingo cards and this wonderful red tin box with a transferred old vintage photo on top! I am going to figure out how to do this so we can do it in a class. Absolutely love that look.

After shopping we had a yummy lunch at South Congress Cafe, got dessert at Hey, Cupcake! and finished our afternoon fabric and ribbon shopping at Craft-O-Rama. We had lots of fun! Jana brought her camera so she'll have more photos on her blog. :) I plan to use these fabrics and trims on some canvases soon.

Saturday is Noah's 8th birthday party - Star Wars theme! Having all of his cousins and 6 boys over for pizza, Grandma's chocolate sheet cake, ice cream sandwiches, and a giant moonwalk in the backyard. The weather should be perfect, in the low 80's. We have the Star Wars movie soundtrack on Itunes, so I'm burning CDs of Star Wars music to give out as favors. What boy doesn't need Darth Vader music while light saber fighting?

Off to watch The Office..

That is the coolest party favor idea ever! I may steal it next year when my boy turns 9.
