Ways to get organized-Part 1: DIY $5.00 makeup displays

 HI:D
So I have been trying to organize my room lately. I of course went straight to Pinterest! I found some really cute ideas! I got inspired (as always) and decided to get crafty. I didn't want to spend a lot of money so I headed to the dollar store to get all the things I needed to make these cute displays:)

 (Please excuse the picture quality)
I bought all of this at Dollar Tree. Four glass candle jars,a candle stick holder,and some colorful beads.

 I filled up the round glasses with the beads and stuck my brushes in it.....

 I hot glued on of my square glasses to the candle stick holder....

 I wanted one to be higher than the other;) Then I filled them with beads.

 I made the labels with a paper bag and my stamp kit.

Very simple and very cheap! This project only cost me $5.00 to make!
Have a great day!

Merry Christmas Photos!!!

Too early for Christmas photos?? Well, maybe but it can't hurt right?? I had to bribe my sister with candy,but she relented to let me use her as a model.;) I got some great props at the Dollar Tree and I just had to try them out!

 I was on top of the fence with my leg laid across it just to get this angle! I'm glad the nearest neighbor lives through the woods down in a hollow.!

 One of my favorites!

 (she was looking at the birds,and I told her to hold still;))

 I told her to be herself in her expressions,so she did in these two pictures;)

Love her! Thank you to my sister Hannah for being a very patient model.

Feminine Friday:Nail Tutorial

 For today's Feminine Friday I have a nail tutorial for you! I have seen a design like this somewhere. Either through the blog world or on Pinterest;) By the way....I believe every woman in the U.S.A. is addicted to Pinterest now. I know I am! So anyway,I'm naming this tutorial Notebook nails. The name would better fit if I had used white as the base,but I liked the teal better:)

 SUPPLIES:
Wet n Wild megalast salon nail color-teal and comes with a manicurve pro brush.
French manicure white polish-with a fine tipped brush
Red nail polish-I used color workshop. Use the standard brush or you could use a toothpick.

 Step 1: Start off with your base color. Mine was the teal in this case. Make sure your nails are fully covered and dry before you move on to the next step.

 Above:WetnWild megalast. Gr8t stuff!
Step 2: Use your fine tip brush and paint on your white lines. Three lines on each finger.

Step 3:Using your standard nail brush,make your heart with your red polish. Paint two dots and then use the side of the brush to finish out the bottom of the heart.
Hope you guys enjoyed this!

Photo shoot: Fairytales

I mentioned in a previous post that I had done another photo shoot. Well this is it! My theme in this one was a fairytale,mystic,theme:) Enjoy!

 A little confession here......I am wearing fake eyelashes;) I only wore them for the pictures:p Not out to town or anything. Don't worry;)!

 This one turned out a little too blue. I'm not sure why???? I'm sorry about the lack of posts lately. I just started a new job so it has been rather busy!

You can't see it really well but if you look close you will see a ring in the picture. Bonus points if you spot it!!!

I glitzed my ipod case!!

I love sparkly things! If you visit my Pintrest you'll see! So I kind of got bored with my Jelly Bean ipod case,so I decided to do something about it. I choose my colors for the sparkle and took off!

Sparkled Ipod Case

 So pretty!

 This is the front of the case....

 and here is the back.

 I painted my case purple and covered it with a polyurethane(you don't have to use this step) I wanted the case to match my stones.

 Then I took the glue gun and attached my gems. Alternate colors;)

This was the finished results. Cute!
Have a great day!
