Look What I Made!
Naked tutu pictures! Oh, how I have missed my tripod and DSLR camerachild. For info on how you, too, can make a lovely tutu, see this tutorial!

Procrastination Tips: Holiday Edition
So if you, like me, belong to the highly exclusive club of the People Who Like The Rush Of Doing Things Last Minute, you may or may not have already sent out festive seasonal greetings to your beloved friends and family. I’m betting you belong to the “may not have” camp, and that you will continue to think about it until, say around the second or third week of January (hey, better late than never, right?), and then shrug and say “next year, FOR SURE”.
Well, no more. With the help of this super easy website, you too can send beautiful holiday missives of cheer to your highly appreciative and amazed family (sorry, I must have woken up in an extra sarcastic mood today).
It seriously took 5 MINUTES to make the card. I chose my template, uploaded a charming picture of our sexy mugs (can you tell it was the 104th one?), customized the 3 lines of text by adding our names, and BAM. Of course, we had problems finding the 4×8 photocard paper that HP assured us existed, but I have reason to believe you can find it at Walgreens. Or you can buy 8×10 semi-gloss photo paper, and cut them out yourself. Oddly, I enjoyed that part.
With the help of your handy label printing skills, I would venture to guess that you could have around 20 of these bad boys in an envelope and ready to go in around an hour or so, provided you got all of the supplies BEFOREHAND.
They may even look something like this:
So get to it! Surprise your family and show them how far you’ve come. And come back in about a week or so for help on getting those thank you cards out before your grandma writes you off forever.

DIY: Light Boxez!!
So I made this awesome light box to take pictures of my jewelry, since that is the only thing holding me back right now from actually putting my bling up for sale. It was very easy and only took about an hour!
I found this website very helpful. I used white tissue paper for the sides, and used duct tape to reinforce the edges. Now I just need to find some bendy lamps for lighting and I’ll be good to go! Oh, and something a little prettier to hang said bling from.
I’m also emailing these pics to Freya at Fish Nor Fowl to submit for her weekly challenge. I’m really enjoying her stuff right now so I want to contribute!
