Ventriloquist doll costume

I thought this was a fun idea and it was creepy without all the gore. 

My hair was a lot more ratted out and wild in the beginning of the evening but flattened down a bit by the time I got home and took this pic. Still, overall I am really pleased with how it turned out :) 

The makeup is actually really easy, the hardest part for me was getting the contacts in because I don't normally wear contacts lol.

What do you think? What would you do different? 

Baby shower diaper cake

My first diaper cake.

I feel pretty proud of myself :)

You can buy the head band and tutu at hobby lobby in a kit, so I didn't really come up with this creation on my own, I just followed the instructions lol.

But still.  Go me! Haha.

BUT, now I know the basics to make one for next time :D

Trick or treat footprint craft

I saw this idea on Pinterest and thought it was a cute Halloween craft :) Eli is so ticklish, it was hard to paint his feet lol.

Going out hair

We went to Vegas in May and it was hot.  I was trying to find a way to keep my hair off my neck but still look dressed up.  This was a pretty easy solution.

I just curled my hair using my flat iron, then pinned it all to one side.  Simple :)

Canned food Organization

I'm kind of a food hoarder.  

If I'm shopping for ingredients for a meal, I will usually buy double so that I will have some extra on hand for next time I want to make that meal.  It's a great idea as long as you buy the ingredients that don't expire right away, but it also fills up the pantry fast!

I found this solution on amazon.com, you can purchase it here:

What do you do to keep your pantry organized?

Rolled up jeans and skull top :)

Please pay no attention to the messy room.  Or the crappy mirror selfie haha.  Just notice that dang cute outfit!  I got the top on sale at Deb, and the jeans at Vanity.  The belt I picked up from a vendor at the Sturgis Biker Rally.  I think the heels are from tillys.com?  

My hair

I love this look.  Having the blonde underneath makes it so easy to manage and don't have to worry about embarrassing dark roots.  And when I do my hair curly it makes it more noticeable than when it's just straight.
