Say It With Letters Dress Bodice for Hair Clips and Bows
 |
| Dress Bodice from Say it with Letters which trust me the photos don't do it any justice...it is SOOO GORGEOUS! It looks just like a real dress. This is to hang on little girls walls to place their hairbows and clips. |
 |
| The bodice is great to decorate in any color and style a perfect gift for any little girl. |
 |
| The tulle is shiny and soft. The ribbon is satin and the ric-rack is the Disney Tinkerbell roll. |
 |
| I first lined the bodice with batting to help give it that soft look and and deminsion. I used a hot glue gun to glue the items on. I bought everything at Wal-Mart yeah our Wal-Mart still has fabric!! |
 |
| I had so much fun making this and it went together real fast. I love the colors and the texture I can just see it hanging on my granddaughters wall. Shhh a birthday gift for Miss Abigail!! She will be five in June! |
 |
| This bodice can be purchased at Say it With Letters also check out the Say it with Letters Blog. |

Stuck On You Sketches "The Lips of an Angel"
 |
| SOUS Blog Challenge this week using the ever so talented Beggahuna. Using the wonderful papers of Graphic 45 Once Upon a Springtime Collection The picture is of my beautiful granddaughter Abigail who is four. Her lips are red from the lipstick she was wearing playing dress up. She even has a feather boa around her neck. The flowers are Prima and the rub ons are Basic Grey. Tulle around the ring. I inked and stamped the background using the Tim Holtz Distress Inks by Ranger. |
 |
| The wings are chipboard painted then crackled. The pins are Maya Road. Vintage lace and buttons. The pink butterfly is from Wal-Mart. The other butterflies are handmade by me. The title is cut from Silhouette SD. |

| Abigail is like an Angel to us..and I thought this quote fit so well. Angels are direct creations of God, each one a unique Master's piece. ~Eileen Elias Freeman |

She Art Workshop and My First Attempt
 |
| She Art My Take As you know I am always going way dark on my projects Christy Tomlinson A new class starts on April 11, 2011 When you sign up tell Christy I sent ya! So much fun and you will learn alot The quote is by Oprah Winfrey "The best of times is now" |
Hello again, wanted to make a quick post I have a had a few tough days and wanted to share. On Monday I went back to the dentist and had some work done.....no fun! The boy had their science projects due Tuesday. That always seems like a bunch of work for the whole family when school projects are due...lol! They had a fun time with their projects. Amanda went back to her orthopedic appt. yesterday we left early so I could get Cody his BETA induction clothes for last night, he had out grew all his "dress clothes" then we went to Wendy's and had a baked potatoe. We arrived at the doctor office fifteen minutes before the appt. well it was packed in the office, no where to sit and all the children in the office were sitting on parents laps. I was holding the two little boys and they were just becoming more rowdy by the moment.....what was only about 10 minutes seemed like an hour, lol! So I told Amanda I was going to take them back to the van and find something to do, it is a very small town and the Wal-Mart is not even a super Wal-Mart...just a tiny one. When I got to the van, I had locked the keys in it....OMG! It was about 85 degrees and the boys we sitting on the curb, my husband being over 5 hours away called the security man for the hospital and he came to the rescue after about an hour we got in the van. I was so happy I was shaking....now it was 4:00 pm and the appt. was at 2:45. We rode out to McDonald's to get dinner for the boys at home and since Cody had to go to his BETA induction I would be pressed for time, besides it was already too hecktic....lol! Amanda called at 5:00 she was ready to be picked up. We were already waiting in the parking lot. Her news was not so good.....the Dr. said she does need this surgery and this bone stimulator....well if you read my post before this post....they said the surgery is $20,000 and the bone stimulator is $3,200. The school has only agreed to pay $2,500 of this...when it was not her fault...not to mention her career. My husband is having a meeting on Friday....so I will update asap.
On a happier note...my garden is in full swing...I know I need to post pics. I had a blast this weekend at the altered book class (both days) and not to mention some shopping in a huge town! I got a few new stamps and the New Bo Bunny paper Time! Gorgeous papers! I have not even finished my course with Christy but I have a few more weeks to finish! Today I have made it a relax day or otherwise known as a PJ day!! WINK!!! I just needed this break to catch up on somethings .....like my blog!! I was supposed to teach today but I had to call and tell my dear student/friend I would have to make it another day, head hung low but sometimes you just need to catch up on things in life. I hope you are having a wonderful week and enjoying some of this sweeeet spring weather. Hugs to ya! Dawn Gallop
