Birthday party madness!!!!

Austins birthday party is in 5 days!! I've got sooo much stuff to get ready, but it's all going to be worth it because it is going to be one kick ass party! :P I'm doing a "bob the builder" theme, and I have been planning it for almost 3 months now! All the kids will receive their personalized hard hats, and tool belts as they arrive. I've got different building/construction games for them to play. I have literally been saving all sorts of boxes for months now and painting them to look like bricks so they can have a HUGE pile of "blocks" for building. All the food is going to be served in the back of dump trucks (lined of course! :P), clean paint trays and cans, and his cake is going to be pretty amazing too ( I am going to be making and decorating it myself). I will definitely be doing a post after the party so I can share the pictures of all my hard work, and of course of all the kids having a BLAST!!

Ombre Hair style

So I've been seeing alot of pictures and what not about this Ombre hair style and I figured I would give it a go. Using any kind of bleach in my hair really scares me (can you say fried hair much?!) but I figured, if worst comes to worst.. I could always chop off the ends. I started by applying bleach just to the very bottoms of my hair, then after about 10 minutes I added about another 2 inches or so of bleach, then 10 minutes after that... you guessed it, another 2 inches of bleach.
 I am really happy with how it turned out.. my ends are a little dry and crispy but after some hardcore conditioning action, it looks pretty good for a first attempt. Will be doing this again, and I will try to post pictures of my own hair this time! :P

This is my hair after my first attempt. I've got a box of bleach and I'm ready to give it a go for attempt number 2!

DIY t-shirt bags!

So apparently I am obsessed with DIY projects today! They are all about t-shirts too! I stumbled upon this project on, once again, pinterest! (latest obsession BTW) I am totally going to try and make some of these, and when i do you can be certain I will be posting pics of them on here! I swear, deep down inside I want to be some kind of DIY queen! The only thing I'm worried about in making these.. is that I am going to be rocking my awesome bag, and BAAAM! my groceries are going to be all over the place! talk about embarrassing! If I can figure out a way to make sure the bottom is super safe and sturdy, I will definitely be making these for myself, friends, and whoever the hell else wants one! I suppose if I do have any grocery mishaps.. they would always make a super cute beach bag!http://www.moredesignplease.com/moredesignplease/2010/6/6/diy-recycled-t-shirt-tote-bag.html

Transforming T-shirts into a tank!

I am totally going to the thrift stores to find myself some cute funky t-shirts and i am doing this until I've perfected it! http://www.crafterhoursblog.com/2011/08/tee-to-tank-tutorial-by-jen-from.html
