Just call me Martha. Or Jimmy Choo...

Once upon a time, I had a pair of shoes. (Not this actual pair, mine were only about an inch tall and they didn't have an ankle strap.)



And then I saw these!
I really liked them but there were a few things wrong with them.
a) they were cheap which = HURT
b) as cheap as they were, I don't have a lot of extra cash.
c) wouldn't these be REALLY easy to make???

And then... ( I forgot to take a picture before I glitter-dumped them). This is about 14 coats of glitter paint with a final layer of glitter dumping.

Ta Dah!! Party shoes!! I'm waiting by the phone for Victoria Beckham to call and order a pair...

My dream house

and the neighbors. For some reason the snow didn't get them.

This was our Monday night activity with the kids. (they just ate the candy) Good times.

Speaking of dancing...

I am a mild to moderate fan of So You Think You Can Dance and this is one of my all time favs.



Doesn't it just kill you??

My fav holiday

So I've been thinking about this years Halloween costume since about Nov of '08... I try to think of something creative that I can make myself relatively easily. As I was researching, I decided I wanted to recreate or bring to life a classic photo or person that we've all seen and I came up with...The MORTON SALT GIRL!! It was super fun and thanks to my sister for help with the dress (I probably would have sewn it inside and backwards without her...) After that all it took was a little yellow spray paint for my shoes, some construction paper and an oatmeal canister, and a $12 umbrella from Target. So fun.

Most older women got it right away but I did have to explain it to a lot of kids, I guess they don't spend enough time in the kitchen...
