My Friday faves..on Saturday morning!!

Okay, I am pulling a Dena, LOL! I'm late for the faves! I pretty much floated through this week trying to put the house back together.....so I really don't even remember this week!!! I am just so glad it's saturday!!!!!

#1 - Hobby Lobby! Okay I know the sadness...not everyone has one of these by them...sorry! But I hadn't graced the doorway of HL for some time, I happened to be in the area.....I got sucked in! They were super clearancing out their housewares - TONS of stuff 80% off. I picked up at least 5 things to alter, LOL! things that were $3 and $4 dollars!!! big score at the HL!!!



#2 - Earth friendly products - Ultra Ecos Laundry detergent for front loaders! I have been using this stuff for the last 6 months and WOW, I really love it - it works great and is free and clear of all those toxic things like phosphates, formaldehyde and Sodium laurel sulfates. the ingredients are right on the bottle...when was the last time you saw ingredients on cleaning supplies???



#3 - Aubrey Organics Sunscreen!!! This will be the first summer since my whole Sunscreen ingredient awareness. awhile back, I was reading an article about Oxybenzone which was an ingedient in the coppertone sunscreen I used. Reading the wikipedia definition(the link) really turned me off to all the major sunscreens on the market and trying to stay clear of the major ingredients in sunscreen that may actually be leading to skin cancer.
Over the winter I researched it a bit more and found this line of Aubrey Organics sunscreen to meet my needs ingredients wise.....but it wasn't until last week on my trip to Costa Rica was I able to put it to use! And let me tell you, this sunscreen was FABULOUS, it totally worked great, I never burned at all and that is saying a ton coming from these whities up in Michigan! And I got the nicest tan!!! So I am singing the praises!!!!!!!



#4 - California Naval Oranges...I have rekindled my Love!!!!! I really haven't eaten many oranges since moving to michgan 13 years ago. But lately I have been able to find the big juicy California Navals and I am happy!!!!

#5 - Cucina dish soap!!!! oh man this stuff RAWKS!!!!! No more Dawn for me!!!!! You ever try and clean a plastic container...with milk in it and no matter how much you wash the plastic it just still smells bad??? well no more!!!!!

Bad Girls Kits - March DT Layouts!!

So, I think everyone knows how much I love my BG kits - but my first month on the Design team..I was extra stoked and wowsers....I am not usually so comfortable with pink and flowers and so much Prima - but it was all just speaking right to me and well here is what I came up with!!!! and you can go here to see all of the Design Team layouts for this month...they will blow you away!!!

This LO of my Willem and my Mom...just love this photo!!! and it's so soft!!! The trim and the Prima papers...the thickers...yummy!!!

This was where I went to town with the embellies and the cutouts - gosh the bling was fun!!!!!

This was for our challenge - to use the fabric in a cool way! Is this cool? LOL! My fabric was dark...black...and had a huge flourish that just stared me down, so I cut it out and went with the fun blues, black, orange and oh my those birdies on the Prima package were adorable!!! This is my brother and some of the boys - giving hugs!

This soon became my favorite LO! I have had this picture of me and DH on my scrap table for 2 years...just waiting for the right product to come along - this specialty Prima glitter paper is FABULOUS and the textures of everthing, the stitched mulberry....all of it just had me flowing



okay, I am not a project person! But here is an area that I plan on working on...this is only the beginning.....cuz I don't know how to alter worth a darn!! And I know this little box blows no one away :) And holy smokes photographing stuff like this is HARD!!!! I'm thinking I need a new lense, LOL!
