Legoland Grapevine is AWSOME! Unfinished Project Wednesday Light Box

Last Monday My friend Jeanette and I took the kids to Legoland Grapevine. They all had a great time! Roger...age 2 loved it so much he had a tantrum when it was time to leave. The other children were also sad to go and begged to visit again. The picture above shows a photo of Lily, Madaline, and Lucia in Legoland's automated Mini-Land diorama of DFW. If you look closely you can see the American Airlines Arena, and Reunion tower in the background (it has blinking lights).  We had SOOOOOO much FUN! If you haven't had a chance to go it's well worth the trip. My only complaint about it is you have to go through a little tour of how Lego bricks are made before enjoying the play area and interactive portions. Our tour guide was not that interesting and it was hard to understand what he was saying because he spoke so quickly. Nor was he all that enthuiastic (a requirement for keeping the attention of small children). They make you wait till your time slot to go on the tour and only then can you really enjoy the exhibits and play area.

As for Unfinished Project Wednesday...Ive been a little slow getting to it today. I'm working through an online tutorial on building a photo light box; which I will detail tomorrow. Ive modified the instructions to use translucent corrugated plastic sheet instead of foam board and am also creating different backgrounds for my light box to give me a greater range of display options for my Etsy listings. I was supposed to be done with this project last night, but unexpected detours (as usual) have me behind schedule. I'll post the details on it tomorrow for all to see and use.

Tell me what projects you intend to finish today!

July 4th Fasinator and Accessory Party

To prepare for 4th of July we decided to have our Fasinator Party early. So last Friday my sister Charlotte, my mother and I brought all our supplies to her house and made fasinators, brooches and hair clips.
Here is a peek of the things we made!

Pocket Box Template

I have been looking for a better way to package stud earrings, vintage game cards, and other small items from my Etsy shop. I usually just wrap them really well in tissue and put them in a padded envelope for shipping. It's not very pretty but it's functional.
Last night during our bi-monthly game session I drew up a pocket box template in PhotoShop (there is lots of down time between turns so we socialize and mess with our laptops).
Here are 2 versions one; with a colorful honeycomb pattern and one that's undecorated. The back of the box has 4 slots in it for holding a business card. Approximate box size: 5" wide x 2.75" tall x 0.5" deep.
The plain box in the first photo above was printed on some scrap cardstock it will not have the inside image when you print it from the images below.
