Emmie had a middle school dance to go to tonight, and it was semi formal in its dress code, so I got lucky and got to make her a new dress! (the pictures were taken at night in our apartment building lobby, so they aren’t great) I had waited a really long time to get…
You guys, this week has been such a roller coaster ride between So You Think You’re Crafty, and Project Run & Play! I want to thank everyone for their votes in both competitions!!! I am on to the finals for Project Run & Play, and I won for my hair clips in So You Think You’re…
