So I've decided to add a new dimension to my blog. I'm going to start sharing some of my crafty creations along with family goings ons. (My friend April T - I can still hear you calling me "crrrraaaaffty".) I guess my real goal is to get something posted more than once every six months.
Yeah, we'll see how well that goes. Tomorrow I start my first ever attempt at a Layout A Day (LOAD) challenge for the month of May. Yes, that is the goal, to create and post online, one scrapbook layout a day for every day in May. I wonder how many days it will take until my children think they are motherless. We'll see how it goes. I'm well stocked with adhesives, paper, embellishments. I've even loaded the freezer with frozen meals. Hmm, I guess I should have put "clean up scrap area" on the list. Someone might have to send in a search a rescue team to find me in a few weeks. Actually, that's almost necessary now.
So here's my first crafty sharing:
This is a headband (with hat) that I made for Miss V. I bought a plain headband at a craft store and wrapped it with black grosgrain ribbon. I then decorated a doll hat with ribbon, bling and feathers and actually sewed it to the ribbon on the headband. Total cost was about $3. I thought that with cocktail hats and feather headpieces making the comeback my Miss V couldn't be without.
Please note - Miss V has informed many a people that her showgirl "costume" is not a costume, but just normal clothes. As for the tickets she's holding, those were not a planned prop. I actually didnt' realize what she was holding until I had uploaded the pics.
