SCENTSY EGG TUTORIAL

I went to a Scentsy Party a couple of weeks ago and purchased a Scentsy bar in Lilacs and Violets...Lilacs are my fav flower ever!!!

Anyway Yesterday I thought " man I wish I could put my scentsy in my car" So since then I have been trying to think of a way I could put my scentsy in my car without it spilling in my floors/seats and without haveing to go buy the scentsy circles...

And Easter inspired me so here is what I came up with:

*SCENTSY EGG*

Ok, so it might be a bit corny, But I think its cute and its is so going in my car!

It shouldnt beable to leak or bust open, and it is bright and fun and just in time for easter, I could see this being used in all kinds of easter, baby showers, wedding showers, etc.. I think you could also use toy vending machine capsuls like these

(my original thought)

Either way would be super cute!

Well here is my tutorial for the Scentsy Eggs:

First you will need some supplies:

scissors

hot glue

easter egg or capsule

ribbon

tack

Scentsy

First you will need to poke a little holes using the tack, in the top of the egg so the scent can get out,

while yoru at it poke a larger hole in the center of the top for the ribbon

Next  you will cut your ribbon to desired length

( i made mine pretty long because I want it to slip over my rearview mirror)

Slide the ribbon thru the hole you punched in the center

Tie a knot in the end of the ribbon so that it wont slip out of your eggs hole.

Cut a piece of your Scentsy bar off and place it inside your egg.

Now you just need to seal it closed, I did this by hot glueing a ribbon around the seam so that it overlaped both edges so It could not come open.

Finally I just decorated it witha bow and a small crystal... You can get as fun and creative as you want to with it.

Im sure your next question is how is it going to get warm enough to melt and smell, Well my plan is for the sun to do that for me.. Because I dont know about you but it gets pretty hot in my car during the summer. Im not sure how this is going to work in the fall/winter months but Im sure my heater vent blowing on it will keep it toasty enought to produce scent...

So what do you think of my creation??

p.s. if you have any questions about my tutorial feel free to email me or leave a message!

I created it and now I have no idea what to do with it!!

Have you ever created something thats just to freakin cute, cool or awesome but then have absolutely no idea what to do with it??

Well, thats exactly what happened  to me just a few moments ago..

I created this awesome little fabric flower wreath!

But its to small to really beable to use it!

But isnt it cute, I do think it would be perfect for a cute little playhouse door!!

Maybe I will save it for Destinys Birthday, as we do plan to build her a cute little play house.

If you want to create your own all you need is some scrap fabric, metal ring,some small jewels/buttons/beads and some know how on fabric flowers. It was very simple.

If you dont feel like making one or dont have the stuff, But would really really love to have one, I have plenty of supplies to make more.

after 5 1/2 yrs Im ENGAGED!!

Wow,

I can't believe Im officially ENGAGED!!! YAY

Im no longer just his girlfriend... Im his fiance and future WIFE.

I have waited along time for this.... and Im so excited I cant contain myself!!

Isnt it GORGOUS???

I absolutely love it...

We have set the date for

SEPTEMBER 2012

Havent officially picked a day yet, Im thinking around the 14th.

So now all I have to do is figure out what kind of wedding I want, I was never the kind of girl who dreamed of the day she would get married... and Im not the center of attetion type, Im also not a very affectionate person to anyone but my daughter and my Fiance....Something about hugging other people, even my parents/sibling just feels very awkward and uncomfortable.....as well as public affection... Im not the one your gonna see in the store or parking lot giving kisses to my future hubby.... to me that is just priviate.... and for the most part he feels the same..

So Im just not positive on all the details yet, but I only have 3 reasons for not wanting the big traditional wedding..

1.) I dont want to have to ask my dad to walk me down the isle...Awkward!!

2.) I dont want to have to kiss Johnny infront of everyone....Embarassing!!

3.) I do not want anyone crying or getting emotional or hugging me....Unconfortable!
So a vacation/wedding in Las Vegas at a cute little chapel sounds pretty good to me, But then Johnnys family and most of mine wouldnt want or be able to attend, so that is probably out of reach.

Reasons why I do want a regular wedding:

1.) Picking out the dress

2.) planning and having a party worth dressing up for

3.) Getting Gorgous

and most importantly

 Seeing Johnny in  a suit or at least all dressed up..

( A suit may be to much to wish for...lol)

But whatever kind of wedding I choose, I know I want it to be Pink and Brown,

I want a Pink dress for sure, and I would like it to be outside. I will probably have to break the wedding down into 3 parts:
 the actual ceromony
dinner/reception
and a after party

Because most of my family are pretty religous (church of christ) and Johnnys family is your typical african american family, In other words our familys have 2 totally different ways of celebrating and I want everyone to be happy.
The Ceromony will be all me!
The dinner/reception can be for everyone and the After party can be more for his family and those of mine that arent comfortable with the dancing and music.

So how soon should I start planning??

O, and we plan to have out second child next year too, So some how I have to get this all worked out...

I've been M.I. A lately!!

I cant believe how long a I have let my blog go with out any kind of post! Im so sorry! Life has been so crazy around here, First I hurt my back and have been unable to do anything exciting, then I opened up a small shop in a local craft mall to sell all the goodies I make, I also have been doing ALOT  of craft shows lately, Finally my poor little car went KaPoot and we had to buy a new car, It was our first time ever buying a new car so it was a experience in its self, Plus my mom keeps me pretty busy on the weekends with yard sales and "treasure hunting" Its truely amazing what you can find.

Anywayz,

April is my birthday month so I have compiled a list of fun tutorials and even some great giveaways pertaining to Easter and my Birthday. I will also be keeping you updated on things that Im making and doing. 

I cant believe Im about to be 25...yikes!..lol
