DIY Disneyland Bleach Silhouette Shirts

I mentioned before we went to Disneyland a couple weeks ago that I’d tell you more about how our DIY Disneyland Bleach Silhouette shirts came out.  So I’ll make good and tell you that they came out pretty great, with one exception.  In all, I ended up making 7 shirts, 4 of which came out wearable after trials and tests that weren’t meant to be tests.  Let me tell you, this was definitely part pinwin and part pinstrosity!

2 Days until Disneyland!

For a 34 year old woman, some would say I’m far too excited to be going to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure with two other 34 year old women – and no kids.  The three of us are varying levels of Disney fans, and the fact is that none of us have been to Disneyland in years.  We have also never been there during the Halloween season with the ride overlays and fall decor.  To boot, I’ve never even been to California Adventure.  So we’re doing this.  IN 2 FREAKIN’ DAYS!

Hitchhiking Ghosts Mason Jar Luminary

With my upcoming trip to Disneyland, I started pinning projects to a new #DisneySide board months ago when my friends & I finally settled on a date.  One of the crafts I came across while scouring Pinterest for Disney or Disneyland related crafts that were more adult was not something I could use for our trip, but something I loved the idea of: a Hitchhiking Ghosts Mason Jar Tutorial.  It looked cool, and I’d bought a vector silhouette file of Phineas, Ezra, & Gus last year, but it was needlessly complicated.  So I hacked it and came up with my own.

Rubber Ducky Baby Sprinkle

Rubber Ducky Baby Sprinkle

One of my best, closest, oldest friends Jennie recently gave birth to her second child, a boy they named Colin Donovan.  I helped her two sisters to plan her first baby shower 5 years ago when she became a mom for the first time with the birth of her daughter Joy, and really enjoyed it.  I convinced her to let me throw her a baby “sprinkle” this time around.  Something smaller, more like a big picnic in her honor.  Ha… I should have known I don’t do anything half-ass!  This will be the first in a series about all the various facets of a baby sprinkle that really turned into a full-fledged rubber ducky baby shower!

OBSESSED with Holo Hues!

OBSESSED with Holo Hues!

With going to Humboldt County for Dominic’s birthday specifically to try out most of the breweries in the area, I wanted to do a beer themed manicure.  I took to Pinterest looking for ideas, but everything was either too complicated for my skill level or not quite what I was looking for.  I did so much research, putting off the actual manicure, that I kind of ran out of time to do it.  So, a simple, solid color would have to do.

Quilted Matte Effect

Quilted Matte Effect

I’ve seen it a lot on Pinterest and I’ve been wanting to do a “quilted” matte effect.  Considering it takes a lot of precision, striping tape, and a steady hand with placement, I keep putting it off.  Recently I put a glossy top coat over Julep Quinn, which is a matte “Satin Finish” polish without thinking, so I figured this would be a good chance to try the quilted matte since the polish really does look better matte.
