***IF YOU ORDERED A SHAPED MYLAR BALLOON - Use the paper straw included to inflate your balloon (or get it inflated with helium at the arty store) - insert it into the balloon, inflate like a normal balloon, then remove straw and press balloon edges together firmly - it will self seal. Follow the above instructions for the tassel portion of your tassel balloon, then simplay knot the tassel tail to the inflation tab on your balloon, or tape it on in any location you like. Once you are done with your balloon, you can insert the straw and press all the air out and store it for another party :) </div>

<br />
1. If anything is a bit wrinkly, you can easily smooth out with your fingers. So smooth out any mail wrinkles, and if it ever gets hit, you can simply re-smooth later on.<br />
<br />
2. I put the tassels on the garland, but you can remove and re-position in your preferred order. See below:<br />
<br />

<br />
3. Now simply trim any extra string, make knot loops, and hang :)<br />
<br />
Please let me know if you have any questions!<br />

You could also use plain school glue and wrap it in an elastic or clamp it with a laundry pin for an hour or so.</span>Pomtree.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04249792445917085200noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2612312880794563758.post-85181708570358444532015-02-02T11:31:00.000-08:002015-02-02T11:31:55.939-08:00Fringe Backdrop Curtain Instructions<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
It is fairly straight forward, but some people like it written down, so here you go!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
1. pick which color you want to be the bottom of your curtain.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
2. Take that panel, and tape or pin one end so the bottom of the fringe is where you want the bottom of curtain to be (floor for some people, table top for some, orhalf way up the wall even if you are just doing portraits). Unfold and pin the other end now.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
3. Take the next color you would like just on top of that bottom one. Pin or tape so the bottom of the fringe just hides the top un-fringed portion of the bottom panel. Unfold andpin other end now.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
4. Repeat until you have built your whole curtain! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
5. Take super cute pictures, have a blast at your event.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
6. email them to me for discount coupons!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
7. recycle your curtain - it is 100% recycled and recyclable!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Just a note that when you receive your package the confetti is compressed for shipping. Take it out of the small bag and put it in a ziplock type bag and SHAKE. Then, SHAKE. Then, SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE. Okay, I think you get the point - to separate the layers of paper, the more shaking the better. The volume should increase by 36 times.</div>

Cut two slits on opposite sides of the circle, this will allow the circle to sit flat in the lanternaround the wire form. Insert the circle, twine side down, through the bottom of the lantern. Flatten with a wooden spoon from the top. You just want to make sure there are no big open holes where the “plug” doesn’t sit flush so the confetti will stay in.</span></div>

My hubby went and bought one of those awful particle board bookshelves at walmart last year. It is awful - you can see the particle board, the white coating is peeling, it just looks like junk. I guess you get what you pay for, right?<br />
<br />
I am working on Milo's playroom, and will also be making that space my sewing area. So I want it to be bright, cheery and full of joy. I need shelving, but that particle board horror is NOT my idea of joy, so I will be re-vamping it!<br />
<br />
Here is what I will be doing to it - rainbow-fying! Ours will have 5 shevles, so we are nixing pink. We already have the tester sized tubs of all our rainbow colors from painting our Pez shelves in our bedroom!<br />

(sorry for the awful yellow tones, this was a quick picture of the sling for a buyer)<br />
<br />
I will post my tutorial when I get the chance to take pictures, but it is super duper easy and I'm sure you can figure itout - hopefully I can add in some tips on small things to make the project easier. I will be using the shelf for my fabric up top, and milos books and toys on the bottom.<br />

<br />
Kevin & I have been on a health kick lately. Broccoli, spinach, kefir, you name it.<br />
<br />
Some nights we don't feel like being healthy. Pizza, nachos, wings, you name it.<br />
<br />
But a funny thing happens when you decide to eat healthier... all of a sudden the wings feel like a brick in your gut, so it seems much less appealing. This week, I decided I could cook our cheat meal instead to cut some of the grease factor in hopes of not feeling ill after treating ourselves.<br />
<br />
Here is what I made!<br />
<br />

Kevin and I are huge chinese food fans, but since moving from Ottawa, we have been cursed by bad chinese food at every turn. This recipe was so good, it's actually the best chinese food we've had since Ottawa. Super sweet gooey yummy chicken, and salty oily rice! It was still a rather heavy meal, be fair warned!</div>

Not my child, not my messy studio, or my husband. Me, and my life beyond motherhood, wivery and work. I swear, it exists. It doesn't parade around all day like it used to, but comes out in wisps and strands occasionally. So here is a wisp and a strand of my true self - I am a pole dancer. Well ... the dance part is debatable. But I learn new triccks and do them on a pole. Here is one I did yesterday. Enjoy!<br />

<br />
My business blog is gone. GASP. I don't want to go into details, but the web developer and designer I used to make my website ran with my cash. I was able to use the blog for a year, but couldn't renew it without her, so a fresh start is forcibly in order.<br />
<br />
It is all at once very upsetting and very cathartic. A blank slate.<br />
<br />
I hope you'll join me for party ideas, DIY madness and some giveaways :) Also, many updates on mommyhood. Many many updates.Pomtree.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04249792445917085200noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2612312880794563758.post-26781016338487253282011-02-25T17:47:00.001-08:002011-02-25T17:47:15.543-08:00Giveaway ExcitementHey all!<br />
