Every Girl Wants to be a Princess

THE ROYAL WEDDING

Most woman like myself have been counting down for months to this event!!

On Thursday Night April 28th, My good friend and Co-worker had a slumber party at her house. While I couldn't spend the night I did go and enjoy the pre-party for a few hours.

Fatima out did herself...it was the best "Royal Wedding" Party in America, Seriously!!

The ADORABLE Couple...Prince William and Beautiful soon-to-be Princess Kate

Absolutely STUNNING

The whole house was decorated top to bottom in red and blue.... All things British, tea, scones, biscuits, Pimms.

THIRTY ONE & ONE

Going back in years....
Jen and I met Darcy in HS when we were about 14 years old = 17 years ago
Jen and I went to preschool together when we were about 3 years old = 28 years ago
I am so lucky to grow older with these 2 fabulous ladies!
31 is the new 21, right? :)

We all have our birthdays within a month of each other.
So last night we celebrated THIRTY-ONE at Javier's in Crystal Cove.

Also, Jacob turns ONE years old on Cinco de Mayo, but I will be in Portland the weekend of his birthday party for Estelle's graduation... so we technically celebrated all four of our birthdays!!

Happy Birthday Girls...here's to many many more birthday's together!!

Key's, Fire and a Glue Gun

(NERD ALERT) I have googled a lot of crafting blogs to look at what other people do, get inspired and because I just like to see how creative and artsy people are.
Well, in one of my blog stalking moments I found a few fun projects with Skeleton Keys....I love them and knew I would re-create it somehow.

This is one of the key projects that I found and wanted to re-create.

First, I found a old book and ripped pages out of it.

Then I had a fun 15 minutes becoming a Pyromaniac and burning the pages.
(Only one page burned to much and I had to drop it in the dog water bowl, other than that no close calls)

Burned edges

NERD ALERT #2: I purchased a glue gun

Back drop is done.

3 keys in place and ready to be glued
(I found the keys at a local antique shop and bought all 3 for about $15)

My very own creation...glued, framed and TAAA DAAA

I LOVE IT, now I just need a wall to put it on!! :)

Farr Family Friday Fun

Tyler visits the O.C...we snuck in a family dinner on Friday night at a local Mexican Restaurant we use to go to a lot.
He has a busy weekend visiting Friends, Going to the Angels game with the boys and Golfing 2 times with my dad!! So this dinner was perfect and just wanted I needed after a very stressful week at work.

A much need shot of Patron Silver... Tyler is having fun and happy, I swear.

See, I told you he's having FUN!!

So are the parents... HA HA

I can never remember the order in which you take a shot of tequila with salt and a lime. My dad taught me a little secret and how to remember the order. He said to think of the Mormons, yes that's right a tequila shot and MORMONS!!!
All you need to remember is = L.D.S
L = Lick the salt
D = Drink the shot
S = Suck the lime
Thanks Dad for the tip and very cleaver :)

Shot number 2, I think?

I can take shots like a PRO - but I might not be very pretty at it!!
haha...good timing on the Pic Mom!!
And so embarrassing, but too good not to share

All you need is Love & A Dog

First off I can't believe that I have actually have been "crafty" 2 times this month .... weird!

After Tyler and Estelle's wedding this summer we took a trip to Bend, Oregon to visit friends. One day we were shopping in downtown Bend and went into this little gift shop. I saw this sign and loved it, however I didn't want to spend the crazy money on it.

So now that I am "crafty" I decided to re-create it.

The good thing about working at an art school is that I managed to get these 2 canvases for FREE!!
2 White 8 x 8 White canvases turned Purple

Stickers in place

Framed and glazed...I'm keeping this one.

Stickers #2 and this I will give to My Brother and Estelle - Also Dog Lovers!
