Ruby Slippers

So, I have always loved ruby slippers. Red happens to be my favorite color and sparkles...well, they're practically every girls favorite. When I was little, I would watch the Wizard of Oz and every time those ruby shoes came on the screen I would pause the video and admire their beauty. Ever since those days, I have wanted ruby slippers. I have had a few pairs over the years. I even played Dorothy in a production and go a pair just for that, but each pair wore out and so I have been left ruby slipperless...

I happen to be graduating from college soon (I promise this relates), I decided that I needed a great pair of shoes to wear because after all, all you can see in the lovely gowns they make you wear are your shoes. Well....drum roll please....for the past few days I have been working on these beauties....

Update: The shoes worked great for graduation! However, due to some hurried steps when I first made them they didn't hold up too long and I had to chuck them at the end of the day, but they were great while they lasted!

Happy Birthday Love!

So, this one is way late, but my dear sweet husband had a birthday recently...ok...well it was in February. I wanted it to be a special occasion, so I decorated, made a delicious dinner and cake, and even bought him a Kindle Fire! I am such a good wife!

I insisted on putting all 23 candles on the cake, per tradition. :)  Love you sweetie!
