I took my photos in front of this building for the first time. And right at the end, a woman whipped open the blinds in the window right next to me and glared. Awkward.

The other night, I couldn’t sleep. So I stayed up late making these bracelets. And then I loved them so much, I started going through all of my supplies and brainstorming various versions and designs. And then the next day I made Boo run me to Michaels to get more supplies.
and now I CAN”T STOP MAKING BRACELETS.

I can’t help but twirl when I wear this skirt. Its a twirly skirt :)
This is what I was wearing friday when I was called for a quick interview. Its a part time position at a very creative and crafty store. It was pretty hard to walk out of there after the interview and not buy something. Seriously, I wanted everything.

Last time I wore these pants, I bit the dust pretty hard and messed up my knee. Actually, my knee is still kinda purple and weird looking now that the scab is gone. Ha, you can actually see it in photos when I wear shorts or skirts. But anyway, after that incident, I told myself that I would hem the pants so I wasn’t forced to wear my highest of heels every time.
But I didn’t. And I’m wearing my highest heels again. But this time I didn’t fall.Its a miracle.

So, here it is- in all its sparkly glory! I was so excited when Linda and I decided to do this little be-dazzling party. Oh, the possibilities were endless! So I picked up this mellow yellow sweatshirt at goodwill, and dug out that package of rhinestones hidden in my craft bin. I knew I wanted to keep it simple and cute because I wanted something that I actually could wear throughout the fall and winter seasons. But I also wanted sparkle! Obviously, a giant bow seemed very fitting for me. I can’t resist big bows!
Theres not much to explain as far as the process. I laid the rhinestones out first, to get an idea of placement. And then I just started gluing!
I also DIY-ed the shorts. I lived in these jeans for yeeears. And it was obvious because I eventually had two giant holes at the knees. Maybe fine for some, but not exactly my style. SO yeah, I finally got around to cutting them up, and now I have new shorts!

Here we go! Heres the final products from our little BE DAZZLING party:
Linda turned a simple sweatshirt into something adorable with fabric flowers, ribbons, and and a few rhinestones for a little sparkle. Didn’t it turn out just gorgeous?
Jessica from Monster cakes went all out. She not only dyed her hoodie from the original grey, and then sewed on the toggles, hearts and patches herself. Cutest thing ever.
C’est moi. I kept it really simple with some sparkly rhinestones and fabric glue. I originally wanted to go even bigger with the bow, but I ran out of rhinestones. Oops. You can see the rest of my outfit and more on the sweatshirt on Monday.
Did you bedazzle? Don’t forget to email either Linda or I your photo by tonight, so we can post it along with ours tomorrow!

On Sunday, Boo and I met up with my BFF forever, Ashleebear, for breakfast while she was in town (see Ash - I told you I would talk about you!). Ashlee and her boyfriend Gary just got engaged last week - congrats guys! So yeah, the four of us met up and obviously talked wedding planning the entire time. Our weddings are going to be only two months apart! But, yet again I forgot to take pictures. I guess I get so caught up in talking and catching up that I forget I even have my camera on me. My bad.
Afterwards, Boo and I went into Boston for a lovely, late morning stroll. We live in a gorgeous city.
