Twilight Mom's

We met at the local Mexican joint by the theatre...walked over and then our movie started 45 minutes late. It was all worth it! I haven't stayed up that late since college...and as I sit here working on my 3rd cup of coffee, I know why. We had a blast eating, drinking and being silly! The winner of the New Moon Zippered Pouch was #18... Krissa from Randomness. Congrats Krissa!

Make Twilight - New Moon Freezer Paper Art

My Twilight New Moon inspired freezer paper art shirt...of none other than Edward Cullen! Ok...this really has not become a Twilight blog. Please forgive my geekness...just this week. I do have a little craft though. My friends and I are making our shirts for the movie tonight!

Check out these other ultra-detailed Twilight freezer paper art shirts I found:


How awesome is this? I found this on craftster from LanieKDesigns. She took some time doing this...she's committed!


Scrapcation Getaway did this incredibly detailed Freezer Paper Shirt! Fabulous! She has the how-to here.


Sew Hooked did a gorgeous Cullen Crest Freezer Paper Shirt here. She has the stencil you can download to make your very own.


And for all you Team Jacob people, I found...just this one of the Wolfpack tatoo. also on craftster. Wow! That is some detail!

Don't forget about the New Moon inspired Zippered Pouch giveaway here. I'll be picking a winner tomorrow. Have fun if you're lucky enough to go to the movie tonight!

Lessons Learned from doing a Craft Show

Here are a few lessons I learned in doing my first craft show:


1) Cheez-its, coke and reese cups are actually NOT in the food groups. Bart Simpson lied.


2) Drink coffee at night...ONLY if you want to burn the midnight oil!


3) Don't wait until 3 weeks before a show to get all your product together.


4) Hire your sister as a helper because she is ultra-detailed and can do math! Then pay her with merchandise!


5) Last, but not least, Do NOT do a craft show on the same day as your daughter's birthday party, but if you do...make it a roller skating party and let dad do all the work!

Me & Sherry

I had a blast and met some other bloggers...Heather from My Boys and Me and Sherry from Little Every Day Things.
