Midori Madness - Dance Edition

This Midori Madness episode is all about dance. My youngest is in company/competitive dance (as seen on Dance Moms lol) and I wanted to make a Midori for all his competitions and just a place to hold all the amazing recitals and events that they do, These kids are like a little family and we both love hanging out with them and they push each other to be better.

You can see the video on my channel here -

I am using this super cute fabric Midori I bought from Love Neen on Etsy her Midori's are so beautiful and she also makes the cutest little key chains - I must get the Unicorn. The tassel is from Haute Pink Fluff on etsy and she make the most amazing tassels in all colors and sizes.

I am using this booklet I made with the Crate Paper Poolside collection for his Duo. This was the fist time Linden has been asked to compete with a Duo and he was very excited. The song is Stud and A Babe and it is perfect for him. He gets to play a nerd who turns into a stud who decides being a nerd is better.  Love it!

Lots of practicing and getting together a costumes and they were ready for their first performance at a retirement home.  They were a big hit and were treated to ice cream after the show,

They had a company recital for all the Solos/Duos and Trios competing this year and seeing them in full costume on stage was awesome. They killed it.

They had their first compeition and came first place in their division. So proud.

Come back next week and I will show you book two - the Pirate edition.

Thanks for stopping by.

New Key Chain

I love making personalized key chains with my Epiphany Crafts tools.  I have made them for friends, family, coaches - everyone except me lol.  

I decided to make one for myself so I printed out a smaller photo of my family and added it into a charm with the Round 25 tool.

I also found the perfect sticker and made a tassel from embroidery floss.

I love it and can't wait to add it to my key chain.

Thanks for stopping by.

Rainbows and Unicorns

I usually make something for my son's classmates/dance mates at the end of they year. His dance friends are always doing the Unicorn in photos - it all started last year when my son made up a unicorn dance move and now they all pose like unicorns its so fun lol.  Here's a photo of some of them:

I had a bunch of charms from Epiphany Crafts so I made a charm that says "Always be yourself. Unless you can be a unicorn then always be a unicorn."

Then I had to think of something to attach the charm to and my son said something with rainbows since unicorns and rainbows just go together.  I had made some fun tassels last month and thought some rainbow tassels would be perfect.

If I had thought it through, that I would have to make about 24 of these I might have decided on something different but since I had all ready started I knew I had to finish them lol.

I really love how they turned out and can't wait to give it to the girls.

Thanks for stopping by.

Gift Bags with a Tassel

I had so much fun making some tassels for my Scrapbook Nerd tutorial this month. They are so easy to make - head on over to their Blog if you would like to see how :).

I added one to a gift bag I made for a friends daughter. So pretty and it's the perfect touch for a fun gift bag.  I also added a gold doily and some pretty stickers.

I made a second bag for another friends birthday this month.  I love the cute banner and balloon.

I plan on filling this one with some candy a little gift card.

Thanks for stopping by.
