Finally, it's done.

It took me over 20 hours to finish it, but I am finally done! Kai's new costume is rhinestoned, and I do mean rhinestoned. Let's see, between the costume and the bracelets that I made. This costume has about 38 gross of rhinestones. Once I started the bodice, I realized that I was going to need more. I had to order another 9 gross. I have about a gross left for any that might pop off. I think this costume just might sparkle, just maybe.


The bodice is completely covered in Jet Black Swarovski's and the colored stones are mixed in.
The skirt is also stoned on top and underneath, although those are spread out a little more than on the bodice.

I made three roses, but I'm not sure if she will use all three. Made one of each color just in case.


I made these six bracelets out of 20ss stones. It took almost five gross of stones for all six bracelets. But boy do they sparkle.
I liked these so much, that I am going to be making 20 of them in lime green for Cover Girl.
Now that her costume is done, she needs to really clean it up in the next two weeks. She will compete it at Encore in a few weeks. Like I said in the post before....MY job is done, it's now up to Kai for the rest.

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

My life through my iPhone 2

Part II of "My life through my iPhone.                    Saturday was the Marcos De Niza Homecoming!  Kassie and Aaron had a blast!  I was able to finish Kassie's ballroom shoes on Sunday. It was spirit week for Corona del Sol and on Monday it was TV character day.  She dressed as Blaire Waldorf from Gossip Girl.  Corona had a bon fire on Thursday, and the Pommies performed a hip hop routine.  Here is a picture I stole from Instagram. On Saturday evening, the kids decided to carve pumpkins.  Here is Nachito and Chanel getting ready to carve. Kassie and her friend Amanda did some carving too!  These may not be great posts, but it's a start. 

Just how long has it been? A long, long time....

Not so much of a Blogaholic. I almost feel the need to change the name of my poor little blog. It has sat here deserted with no updates and no pictures. I think about it everyday, yet I can't seem to find the time to come back to it. My intention for my blog was to document so much of our days and lives. And yet, I have let months go by without one little entry. There is no way my mind can remember everything that has happened since my last post. So much missed. The majority of Kai's 8th grade year, and the majority of Nachito's 5th grade year. Not to mention how many holidays and important events I have missed. Trips and of course Birthday parties. Somehow I need to find the time to record these events, and even if I have to back date them, I will document them at some point. This week is a tough school week for the kids. AIMS testing for both of them. Today they both felt very good about how they did. Nothing much has changed in Kai's world. She still dances, still c...
