Wandering Wednesday

Wandering..... hopelessly wandering. Soo, each week I offer you all some great sites to visit. This week I'm only going to offer one... hee hee I have a reason for this...

This is a new up and coming site for a great company. I adore her products. She sells on Etsy but also has created a site, with a gallery, design team, challenges and much more! I love this because whats better than supporting those who put their heart and soul into their products and things we love.. and aren't a huge commercial company.

I decided to just offer one this week.. to give you all the time to go on over and sign up! Join in on the fun.. lets get it booming with all of your great thoughts and projects! I know all of you have some great things to contribute.

There's a bit of a catch.. hee hee. I WANT you all over there. Next month I will be a guest Designer for her lovely products!!! I'm very excited about this! So, I want all of you to head over there.. so you can join the fun with me! Check out her products and even if you can't afford or do not fancy the products help add your work to the wonderful galleries... your questions and opinions to the forums. After you have went over there and created an account give me a shout here... and let me know your name and that you registered. Be sure to share it with your freinds as well!

 I'll have a surprise PRIMA product for those of you who do!!!  As well as the JULY/August issue of Creating Keepsakes!

SNEAK PEAK for Thursday

Ok, ladies... I wanted to give everyone a heads up for Thursday.. For the tutorial I'm going to be doing something that I get tons of people asking me how to make. Sooo, it will be a bit of a longer tutorial.. but super easy compared to how complicated it appears. Here is a list of what you will need to participate as I'm doing it.  Here are some pictures of the ones I have made. You can see they can be made for any theme. Boy or girl birthday, baby shower gifts, and even to coordinate with the seasons! After the picture you will see a list of items needed for the FREE class on Thursday  on ustream. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/sayitsbyu13

Items needed: (You can look at the image and see where each will be used to know what colors you prefer.) You can see that you can make them in about any size you like!

- Styrofoam ball- ( you can also use a half circle.. those floral kinds or what not) The size you use will determine how large your cupcake is. I love them all! Also one 1 inch to 3/4 inch styrofoam ball.
- 1 sheet of felt- you can choose one color or choose to have two diff colors.
- 1 sheet of paper,
- 3-4 laces and or trims of your choice (ribbons are fine as well)
- Hot glue or your fave adhesive
- Paper or cloth Dollie ( If you don't have one.. that's cool.. get a strip of lace and I'll show you how to make one)
- 1 strip of lace for bow by cherry (I prefer sheer but you can do whatever you like)
- Glitter of choice (I have all red cherries but you could so anything!)
- Tag or cardstock to make tag
- Pebbles/Dew Drops... if you don't have these.. no worries... there's lots you can use for "sprinkles"
