it was a grand opening.

we served cupcakes of course! (decorating cupcakes is one of my favorite things to do!)

We renovated our salon a little, and I loooove the new splash of color.

We had a wee ribbon cutting event to symbolize our new adventure.

Lots of people came down and we gave away sooo many great prizes! I had a great day, and I'm really looking forward to improve my business and build it to what we want it to be.  It's exciting.  Thanks to everyone to came and supported us!

On a more creative note: I feel like I hit the jackpot with whip up!  I was looking for inspiration and I certainly found it.  I love this granny'esque yoga mat bag... I'm going to make it on the weekend.

this tea wallet is brilliant.

and I've been looking for good re-purposing tutorials, and these are oozing with sweetness.

how adorable!! the pants are made from men's shirt sleeves!

so sweet.

and this one is fab too.

sheesh my mind is FULL of ideas, making it hard to shut down and sleep... but boy do I need sleep, after a week like last week.

I'm looking forward to a chill'er week with some:

-crafting for me

-reading time

-beach time

-friends

-cooking at home

-getting ready for a camping trip. :)

Shout out to my sis Jackie in NYC on vacation!! Hope you're having a blast!
