Fun and sentimental craft.

This craft was inpired by a product in the red envelope catalog. My 3 year old, at the time, and I painted the backgrounds on canvas, the each member of our family took turns making a hand print. the youngest member of our family was 4 month old at the time.

Down the Rabbit Hole...

I friend of mine got married this month. It was a beautiful wedding with an "Alice in Wonderland: theme.. Very fun.. In honor of her obsession with this classic story, I created a wedding gift with a kitchy Wonderland vibe.

The real Princess Bride

My daughter loves princess and loves brides. So on Friday, April 29,2011. I decided to celebrate the real princess bride. Coverage of the royal wedding started at 3am in the west coast. I was excited about the event but not THAT excited. We took advantage of our modern technology and DVRed the event.

The night before, we prepared for our wedding celebration. We made beautiful crowns, so that we match all the wedding guest with their beautiful hats

As the royal chefs were busy preparing a meal fit for a king and 600 guest, I was busy in our kitchen with our culinary delights...PB&J finger sandwiches

Of course, my little princess always has to add her own sence of style. Just like Princess Kate, Skylar has a passion for fashion

Skylar loved the wedding, Queen Mommy was very happy for the DVR. Unfortunately, Prince Sage was not as thrilled with the world event
