DIY Rapunzel Wig

>> Friday, June 17, 2011 – crafts, Disney, Macey, projects, Rapunzel wig

I loved Disney's new Rapunzel braid they have for sell, but didn't like the $20.00 price tag. So I figured I would make one myself :) It was really quiet easy.

Items needed: One thing of yarn, 2 yellow rubber bands, scissors, purple flowers, purple ribbon, and a hot glue gun.

Me and two of my girls worked as a team. I pulled the string out, Allison would cut it, and then when I walked back to grab another piece of string Macey would hand it to me (which prevented me to have to squat down each time, which was nice)

It ended up being too long, and too thin, so I cut it in half and it was perfect. Sorry I didn't measure how long the string was.

I tied off one end and began to braid it. At times I had a "Tangled" mess (pun intended)
but just go slow.

That's pretty much it. I tied off the end then fit it around her head and tied it together. Add some purple flowers and ribbon and there you go.

O.K. so that's a crappy picture, but I liked how the Toy Story ball is in the background ;)

It Doesn't Take Long...

Adorable Halloween Costume

>> Wednesday, September 15, 2010 – costume, Halloween, Macey

I wanted to share with you this awesome site for everything Halloween...

They have tons of costumes to pick from.

I got this adorable Goldilocks costume the other day.

The details are oh so sweet.

I just love the 3 bears that sit in her pockets.

They are attached so you won't loose them while out trick or treating,

but can be removed after Halloween for your little girl to play with.

I got the size that she normally wears and it fits her perfectly.

The costume is wonderfully made and it comes with the cute little hair bows too.

We go to story time at the Library,

and I think this would be such a cute costume to wear during the month of October.

Check out Costume Super Center,

they have one of the biggest selections in costumes for all age ranges.

They are fast on their shipping and they also advertise free shipping on exchanges.

So don't wait til the last minute to get your costume.

Be ahead of the game and browse through all of their unique choices from infants to adults.

I think you'll find it hard to pick which costume you like the most.

If you spend $30 use the coupon code TAKE30 at checkout to receive a 20% discount.

Once you get your costume, come see me so I can photograph you in the costume ;)

Toy Story 3

>> Saturday, June 19, 2010 – costume, Disney, Halloween, Macey, movie, projects, Toy Story 3

Today we went to our mall to see Toy Story 3 in 3-D. They had activities planned for the kids and a costume contest as well. It wasn't until after midnight last night I decided I wanted Macey to wear a costume. I actually thought it would be pretty easy since my 11 year old was Jesse for Halloween NINE years ago. I had everything I needed except for decorating the shirt. I thought to myself oh, this want take long. And really it didn't except I did this while I should have been sleeping. I think it came out all right. Thank heavens for hot glue guns :) I was very happy that I didn't purchase a thing for this costume! Except for the hat, but I bought earlier that day before I ever had a costume in my mind, and it was only $5.

It amazes me how creative use start to be come at 2 am with less than 6 hrs. to create this all while missing sleep:) I used the kids play money (coins) for the "buttons" and cut/glued paper circles out on top. Some yellow felt, red ric rac, and hot glue I had a shirt. The hat was pretty easy, I just thread yarn through the hat. I had NO white ribbon so I used elastic for the white band.

When I saw the adorable little Etch a Sketch and Mr. Potato Head I knew who had first and second place for the costume contest. I thought Macey had a chance for 3rd but wasn't sure. To my excitement she took 3rd place and received 2 free movie passes to see the movie :) YEAH!! for her.

She had fun playing the games.

3 must have been the lucky number today :) We saw Toy Story 3, Macey is 3, Macey won 3rd place, and in the theaters they gave out prizes if you could answer Toy Story trivia. The question was how many eyes to the aliens have? They picked Macey and she held up 3 fingers and won a 3 eyed alien.

Today was a blast! All worth a sleepless night!

My Pillow Pet

>> Wednesday, January 13, 2010 – Macey, Pillow Pet, Slideshow

Macey with her new Pillow Pet she got Christmas morning.

I've been meaning to take some photos of her with her new pillow. I'm glad I picked tonight. She was sooooo in the mood for some picture taking.

On her own she decided with each new click of my camera she would change her pose.

Watch the small clip I made and enjoy :D

A visit to see Santa

>> Friday, December 4, 2009 – Christmas, Macey, Santa

Just had to make a quick post to show off how adorable Macey's visit with Santa was today. :)

She has always loved most characters, but still you never know. I've been talking to her lately about going and seeing Santa. She got so excited!! I can't believe they let me use my own camera! I didn't have to buy there pics. In fact when the lady asked if I would be buying theirs I told her no thank you so she didn't even snap, LOL!!! I think I want to go back and next time video tape it.

I've got a million of things to be doing so I'll end this post here...

...but not before I show you this.

And then one more!!

Ho Ho Ho!!!

Monkey Business

>> Wednesday, October 7, 2009 – costume, Halloween, Macey

Oh how hard it was to pick the perfect costume for Mae Mae. I wanted "girly" and I wanted CUTE! I wasn't digging the "girly" ones as much as I was the cuteness of this one. :)
