Inedible Cuteness :)

I make cupcakes a lot! But sometimes my creativity is channeled in less edible fashions.... 

One lovely Winter day I was wandering through Joann's, minding my own business when I was struck by a moment of brilliance! 

So one thing about me: I'm cheap! VERY cheap! Like "Don't spend eight dollars all at once!!" kind of cheap. 

So pretty bobby pins like these: 

Well.... I don't really spend that kind of money. :P 

So I improvised! 

Plain bobby pins

Oh! Shiny!

My best friends

There is very little you can't do with a little bit of bling and a lot of tacky glue! (well actually there's just very little you can't do when you have a lot of tacky glue! :D)

Little bit of glue

Just a little bit of glue does it, and I was actually very pleasantly surprised by how well the jewels stay on! :) 

And they actually work!!

Yay! So that's the end of that! 

Here's another crafty project (that I actually did today, not half a year ago!) 

Graduation is right around the corner and I'm FINALLY getting excited for it. Probably just because I finally realized that it can involve craftiness. 

Anyways.... Today I made a mailbox to sit on my grad table and hold cards! Okay, correction: I didn't actually make the box. It was already made. And stripy. And bright. With hearts. Basically something more suited for a middle schooler. It was cute, but not really me. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of what it looked like before, or the renovation process. :( But I have pictures of the finished product!! :) 

It's a little bit ridiculous how excited I am for this one little mail box! I absolutely LOVED making it! The process wasn't frustrating at all! Oh! Also, I think it is worth mentioning that I have officially overcome my fear of fire. Somewhat. But I burned paper edges today and didn't cringe every time I set something on fire!! :) So basically, life is a success! 

The End! :)
