    I immediately knew I had to make something like that.  And its definitely something I would wear.  My goal was to make something fierce and something more subtle.

    Here’s my first. 

    My second. Sorry for the poor quality.

    Overwhelmed

    Sorry for the lack of posts this past week and this week.  I have good things to come but I have been seriously overwhelmed.  Not to mention the wedding photographer is stressing me out.  She is now calling and emailing me non-stop and I can’t get any work done!!!  I told her that I wanted to stab myself in the eye because I am so frustrated with them.  I am funny, I know.

    I’ll be back soon when things settle down.

    This is how I feel right now…

    overwhelmed

    Looking back

    195001203_dcmBP-O

    Married for a lil over 2 years ago and guess what?  I have yet to receive our wedding album.  That’s right ladies… No album.  I have been dealing with the photographers and even involved a lawyer.  Only after I wrote a negative review on weddingwire.com a few days ago did they find the need to apologize and are NOW working with me to make me happy.  I should have written this review long ago!  Its funny how things work right?  To make a long story short, they gave me 20+ excuses on why they weren’t able to deliver.  Not once did they call and update me on the status.  I had to contact them but when I did I was considered to be harassing them.  But I only called them once every 4 months and they were never angry calls.  Just simple, hi, how are you?  whats the update? 

    If you or someone you know lives in Houston, TX or Baton Rouge, LA area DO NOT BOOK Aimeezing Faces for your photography needs.  They are a bunch of frauds!  I could have done a better job with my Nikon D50. 

    I am at the moment speaking with them and have been for the past 2 hours.  They REALLY want to work things out to make me happy and take back my review.  FAT CHANCE!

    Ok I am done venting.

    GOOD NIGHT BLOG WORLD!

    Frame It!

    Another Simple DIY
    Transformed and old picture frame (circa 1990) into an earring hanger.
    First I took out the backing and glass.

    Then used craft glue to adhere the ribbon to the frame.  Added grommets to easily hang earrings or to place studs.  In the picture below I only did one set of the grommets but there are more there.

    Here’s a close up

    Jeepers Creepers

    Some of my friends find me morbid that I made a little coffin.  But its novelty, not real.  Its just for Halloween.  Nothing morbid about that…  Anyways, here’s the coffin and two headstones (the headstones were actually part of the first 2 coffins that didn’t work out so I didn’t waste it).

    I used chalk to write on the headstones.  See how wonderful I am at drawing?!  Not really… I need to redo that drawing.  Used scrap wood and white fabric.  The skeleton was something I bought 4 years ago and I use to hang it on my front door.

    I am going to leave these in the front yard under the large tree.  I am not going to put it out there until Friday since its been raining on and off.  Houston weather… its sunny one minute and cold and rainy the next…

    That’s it for my DIY Halloween decor.  I hope you gals (and guys) have enjoyed!
