Quilled Flowers


These quilled flowers are a really cute decoration to any project. I recently used them on my Mother's birthday card. They are really easy to make and look great. 

Step 1-

Choose your inside color of the flower. I chose pale yellow. Taking the quilling paper, wrap it around until you have it in a tight circle.  I actually used a toothpick, because I do not have a quilling pen. A pen would make things more tighter and faster also. Add a small amount of glue to keep the circle together.


Step 2-

Cut out the quill paper for the inner petals. You can buy them already to use, but I just cut them out myself. Very easy to do. Then you wrap the middle petals around the inner circle. Again glue the ends.


Step 4-


The last thing to do is press out all the petals. It ends up looking like a neat little flower.

Coming Soon....


Product Review- Clarisonic Mia Skin Cleansing System

What is the Clarisonic Mia? It is a revolutionary face cleaner! And it's so cute!!










I have been using this system for over a year now and I absolutely love it! Yes, it is a bit expensive. This made me do a lot of research before I bought one. Every review that I read was positive, so I thought I would invest in buying one. I am so glad I did. It is worth every penny.

My skin is very oily and I always felt that no matter what cleansers I used, my face still felt not quite clean. I am very religious about cleaning my face too. Whenever I decided to buy one of these cute little cleaners I shopped around and found that you can get some pretty good deals on them if you look hard enough. I got mine for about $100 dollars.

You can also go to clarisonic.com and sign up to get auto-delivery on your head brushes. They automatically ship out a new one every three months. If you sign up for auto-delivery you save a few bucks too! I love it, because I do not have to think about re-ordering. They just show up!

This is the best product. If you feel like you are not getting your face all the way clean, give this cutie a try!

Ring Making


Just a little jewelry wire and a Swarovski crystal. Not too bad for my first try. The small on is about an inch long and is amber in color. The larger one is about 2 inches long and is a deep red.

I'm a sucker for these Valentines!
























What a cute way to have your child hand out their Valentine!

This is cheap and easy!

Just take a shot of them holding out their hand in a fist. Before I had them developed I edited the picture to say a Valentine message and added a few hearts. After developing, make a small cut above their fist and below to insert the sucker.
