A crafty weekend

Once a month, a woman from my church plans a night where a bunch of young women get together and do crafty things at her and her sister's house for a girls night. We've made homemade bagels, apple pies, and other things my brain can't recall at this late hour. Last night was our April "Real Simple" (as the girls night is called), and we made flower barrettes, headbands, hair ties, and/or brooches. They graciously supplied the things to make them, but asked us to bring our own flowers. So, I went to Craft Warehouse and bought some small fake daisies. While I was there I was given a flyer about the make & take crafts they were doing in-store today and they seemed fun, so my mom, sister Josie, and I went today and I made a free beaded bracelet.

Below are some pictures of this weekends crafts! :)


Also, for my educational technology class my prof has us working with Adobe Photoshop, and I decided to download the free trial version on my computer so I could edit my pictures. Let me just say it's about the coolest thing ever...it even has a tool called a "spot healing brush" aka "get rid of blemishes/spots" feature...amazing! So, yes, these are edited photos :) Although I'm a photoshop newbie so I didn't edit much.




This is the headband I attached a flower to.

I added the flower to the above hair tie.
