The best job ever and the coolest friends that I ever had were when I worked at a restaurant called the Heartthrob Cafe. It was in downtown St Paul, Minnesota and was so fun! Today we had a get together to catch up and reminisce. This is one of the many good things about facebook, finding people that you wished you never lost contact with. So, today my post is the buttons that I made for this event. We had 'flair' that was a lot more fun and cool than a restaurant chain that I will not name here. We danced and sang birthday songs. The girls wore poodle skirts and we did all of this while wearing in line skates. We were a crazy family and honestly this was one of the best times in my life. Ahhh...memories. In the time spent there somehow the button machine came into my possession. In honor of our gathering, of course I had to make pins. Here are also two murals that I painted at the restaurant. Let me tell you they were tricky! The murals are on glass and when
A while ago, my mom gave me this jar and I shuffled it around the house trying to figure out what to do with it. It came to me last night. With the bathroom decor leaning towards tropical, I decided to fill it will shells. These are also something that I had collecting dust in the house. Now, filling a jar with shells isn't just dumping them in there and saying OK that looks good, no you need to show off the cool ones and fill the middle with the average ones. It took me two tries to get it the way I wanted it to look. There is a neat shelf in the bathroom that I had already decorated with shell frames, they were discount store finds from a few years ago. I centered the jar and then on put my wedding cake topper on the lid. I will get into my wedding stuff in some later posts, but the theme was obviously of the tropical nature. I love painting and drawing and everything else, but it is really fun when you can quickly make something that is simple and fills a void in your home. :)
