Well, we didn't get the blizzard, but I'm still sewing ;)
I always forget to take before pictures, but with these two, I think it's pretty easy to picture in your head.

Kid's Party InvitesIt's party time at our house again, this time for our 5 year old who requested an UP themed party (as in the movie UP from Disney/Pixar). Here are the invites for the kid's party - after designing and printing them on cardstock I cut a slit at the top of the roof, slipped in the ribbon from a helium balloon, and tied it on the back.

This is the first one I've had a chance to photograph though :)
Simply a tee that looks like it shrunk weird (thrifted) so I took and added a touch of a ruffly skirt and since the v-neck was way to low for her, I added in a section with ruffles there too :)

Course that meant new decor for the new space and a shoestring budget to do it on.
Good news is - I did it all for about $100 (except for prints)!!!! Bad news?

In lieu of birthday gifts, our kids get mini-trips with mom and dad (no siblings allowed). Last weekend we went on Jazlyn's trip - to see Romeo & Juliet ballet! We stayed in downtown Denver (she's not stayed there before) up on the 12th floor (a big deal to her!).&Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10411195560168283703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2895497030386354566.post-31142152873273682212011-03-02T12:35:00.001-07:002011-03-03T10:29:04.126-07:00You did KNOT make that!Oh YES I DID!!!
