I'M BACK!!!

Yes I'm back!! Finally after all the mess with my laptop we got a iMac :) I'm still getting to know her, we are only acquaintances but soon we will be best friends.  I have been on somewhat of a hiatus since my old laptop broke down. I mean a hiatus from just about everything. I've been having crafting withdrawals, not to mention my addiction to Pinterest!!! I mean who is not addicted to that. Speaking of Pinterest, I was recently on there and saw the bast photo props. Well I guess for a back drop. I've seen and heard about these for a while now. I knew they were fairly easy to make, but I did get my tutorial from here. Its pretty simple and easy to follow. I actually made a few to use while I was going to attempt  take my kids spring pictures. They came out pretty decent and I can't wait to make more for parties and to hang over my daughter's bed. Just be sure you do have 8 sheets in each package of tissue paper or else you will have a pretty flat pom pom. I'm telling you from experience, I sent my husband to buy the tissue paper from the dollar tree thinking that 8 sheets was a standard pack. I was definitely wrong. Anyhow let me know if you have tried this or have done it before. There are tons of tutorials around and I actually want to try a few of these:

1. Smile and Wave  These colors look awesome.
2. 36th Street events This would look cool for a mini photo shoot
3. Beyond Beyond This would be great for a party.
4. Pizzazzerie For my love of birds and owls. :)
5. 7 Year Wedding This isn't a tutorial but awesome display.


Well with that in mind I hope that you try these out for you next party, photo shoot, or home decor. I'm on the POM POM band wagon.  Here's how mine came out today.
