Portland Blogger Meet-Up

March 16, 2012 3 Comments Uncategorized

I’ve been enjoying getting together with other Portland Bloggers for a few months now.

This past February we had a wonderful meet-up where we chatted about blogging and our lives.

We also had the chance to do some crafting! Parties and crafting….my kind of day!

{Real Party} Activities for a Fancy Pants Party Pt. 2

March 15, 2012 1 Comment Uncategorized

DIY Eye Lash Bar

I thought it would be fun for people to dress up for the party—go a little glam! So, I put together a simple fake eyelash bar for everyone to enjoy. The big important thing to do here is make sure that it is safe and people aren’t sharing items that go near their eye. Ewww…

Supplies:

1. Fake Eyelashes (found mine for $1-$3/set from Target in their Elf line)

2. mascara (I got several two sided mascara wands for $1/piece from the Target Elf line—I then put a sticker on each side so we could tell which side was used)

3. Eye shadow applicators/ liner brushes -OR- makeup application Q-tips

4. Eye shadow

5. Black liner (you can get several pencils or use a cream liner)

6. Sterilized tweezers

7. Make up remover and cotton balls

8. Sterilized eye lash curlers

9. Directions

10. Mirror

These little eyelash sets from the e.l.f. line have a curler and a pair of tweezers. Great idea!

I also put out rubbing alcohol and often went in

and sterilized the tweezers and eyelash curlers.

Monthly Photos: 7 Months Old

March 15, 2012 1 Comment A Well Crafted Kid

Someone is 7 months old now!! He has two teeth on the bottom and one almost out on top. He is crawling around all over, although it is still a little funky mix of army crawl and scooting. He can sit up all by himself. He loves to chatter about saying, “Mamama,” “Dadada,” and “NyeNyeNye.” I don’t think he realizes what he is saying, but he loves saying it! He takes naps in his crib about 3 times a day. He now only wakes 2 times at night (well, at least for the last week)!

He is a happy little guy!
