Bleach Pen Dress – Henna Design
Hello All!
I got this simple navy blue cotton dress for $0.80 from the thrift store! It was a great buy, but a little plain for my taste. I saw some tutorials for bleach pen decorating, so I went out and got a few Clorox Bleach Pens at the supermarket.
The bleach comes out as a paste and since I’m a henna artist, it easily translated into a medium I am already comfortable working with.. pierre kory ivermectin 🙂
I did one side at a time. I put a piece of cardboard between the two layers of the dress as I carefully squeezed the bleach onto the dress. I just free-handed the design. no planning involved here.
I let the bleach sit on the fabric for 5 minutes then immediately washed it with cold water in the tub. Then I ran it in my washer on a quick spin so it came out slightly damp, but not dripping wet.. and repeated the process until it was all done!
I just feel like the design I did made it into a permanent piece of henna art! safe ivermectin dose rabbits

Tiffanys Themed Bachelorette Party
Hello everyone! If you have been wondering why I have been pretty silent these past few weeks is because I have been in my studio preparing to throw my sister’s Breakfast at Tiffanys themed bachelorette party . I have been planning this party for 3 months which game me a good amount of time to devote to all the DIY touches . We had about 15 ladies that came and we all had so much fun! I can’t share all the details since it was a BACHELORETTE party, but it’s safe to say we all had a rowdy time 😉  We stayed at the Marriott  suite here in Ypsilanti and  had a car service drive us to The Wurst Bar for a very special Drag Queen Bingo that I arranged. Then we headed back to the suite for party games, dessert, drinks & more entertainment.  The Tiffany’s party theme was so much fun to add fun touches to.
Here are the pictures I can share:
Breakfast at Tiffanys party DIY dessert table
I assembled each of those little Tiffany blue favor boxes, wrapped ribbon and tied them. Inside were rings from Wholesale Fashion Square  that everyone wore . A party favor that everyone can wear and enjoy after the party is really important . The 4 Tiffany blue champagne flutes filled with white Jordan Almonds.

I ordered the Tiffany’s boxes and bought white stain ribbon and tied each of them after I placed the rings inside on their ring holder.

Tiffanys dessert table cupcake display
I added edible luster powder & pearls to the cupcakes and desserts. Â I also added those lovely diamonds to every table surface . The cupcake toppers I made with my handy circle cutters and printed some icons I made in Photoshop off the computer, glued them together with a blue toothpick in between them and viola!
Tiffanys blue alcohol drink – made with Vodka and something blue hah
Tiffanys blue alcoholic drink mix – yummy! I added my turquoise necklace to the top to add more flair to the drink dispenser. The martini drink glasses really were a big hit. I added a little tiffany’s blue ribbon to them.
Here’s what I bought for the Tiffany’s Blue Bachelorette Party theme:
I did a few watercolor paintings to hang up around the hotel suite – I gave this watercolor chandelier to my sister.

My son turned THREE this past weekend and he loves LEGOS so we threw him a themed lego birthday party! Here are pictures from his lego birthday party . We had our good friends Spiderman and Superman show up, too!
For decor I did a balloon wall where the kids got their pictures taken with Spiderman. He also signed autographs for everyone.

To hold the forks and spoons I made a lego silverware holder with my son’s Legos.

For activities I printed blank Lego minifigures and set out crayons for all the kids / adults to color their own figure. They could also hang them up in the corner to display

Another activity we had was Guess How Many Legos Are in This Jar ! Everyone took a guess and wrote their name.. whoever was closest without going over won a $10 Target gift card. There were 1,245 Legos personally counted by ME.
And each kid got Lego Minifigure Crayons by CrayonMeCrazy off Etsy
