Glow-in-the-Dark BOO

I must admit that I was skeptical about Martha Stewart's glow-in-the-dark glitter at first.  After using it, though, I am a proud supporter!  The bottle was so easy to use, with the easy-pour lid, and the glitter was just right for the coverage I needed.  I painted BOO onto a plastic pumpkin with Mod Podge, then poured the glitter on top.  
VOILA!

Articles of Faith Book

A while ago, I came across a huge poster with the 13 Articles of Faith (from the LDS Church) in a closet.  I didn't really have anywhere to hang it, but decided that it would make a fantastic book.  My five year old daughter has already memorized the first three Articles, but would really like to know the rest.  The only problem is that she can't read fluently yet, and thus needs photos to help.  I had a book from Bare Books in my supplies that was perfect for the project.  The book was so easy to make!  I simply cut up the poster, put an Article of Faith on the left page, and cut up pictures to match each Article for the right page.  My daughter is ecstatic about the book.  I'm excited to have a wonderful addition to our Sacrament Meeting bag for Sundays!

wingflash designs GIVEAWAY

I am so excited to be hosting this giveaway!  Today's giveaway comes from wingflash designs, a jewelry store owned by my high school friend, Laura, who is unbelievable talented.


wingflash designs is a tiny, one-woman-run jewelry business in Tucson, AZ.  Owner/Designer/Jeweler Laura Kepner-Adney has been making jewelry since she was five, but only started marketing her work in the past three years, after apprenticing for a jeweler in New Zealand.  Her goal is to make pieces that are practical enough for everyday wear, but classy enough for a night out; she says, "I design jewelry that looks equally sexy with a shovel and a cocktail dress."  

Laura has generously agreed to giveaway this stunning necklace:
It is a shark tooth electroformed with 24k gold, and a ruby, hanging on a gold-plated sterling silver chain.  The necklace retails for $120.  
What I love about Laura's jewlery is that, not only is it absolutely beautiful, it is completely unique.  I'm quite jealous of all of you who are eligible to win--I wish that I could enter!
