Monster High Party Theme
My daughter is obsessed with Monster High. She will be turning 5 in late October and I'm gearing up for her Monster High/Halloween Birthday Party. Since Monster High is a bit creepy I think it will mesh perfectly with the Halloween theme....don't ya think? She wants to dress similar to Clawdeen Wolf, but she says she wants to keep her blond hair. This is good because when I put the Clawdeen wig on her it looked as if she had no eyebrows and I don't think I could successfully draw on brown eyebrows without her looking something like MOMMY DEAREST! Ha! Some of the costumes are a bit in-appropriate for a 5 year old so we're going with our 'little girl' friendly version that I found online at Children's Place and my daughter LOVES it. I did end up removing the sparkly top of the outfit because it was a bit Christmasy so I bought a black shirt instead. She really looks cute in it! Happy October all!!!

My NEW Craft Space...
If you've known me over the years you may have noticed that I like to
change things often. From my shop banner to my living room
furniture...to even rooms in my house. I think it all stems from moving
quite a bit...17 times in 34 years. {Geez...it looks even
worse when I type it out.} Well I've done it again I've moved my craft
room to it's original space...where ELB all started.
I painted the walls gray to contrast with the white vaulted ceilings. I also ripped out the carpet and painted the floor a light gray with concrete paint and sealer. I also made my craft desk using pre-made white shelving and closet organizer shelves.
I found these super simple and modern desk at target for $20.00 each and the chairs were $9.00 each. This is my kids' art/homework station. They LOVE their space and are always creating something. They are both crafty like their momma!!
This is how I store all of ELB's items. I pre-make just about everything, seal it and organize them here in these storage containers, which are actually sock organizers for drawers. They work really well for my products and getting orders out is a cinch!
So we will see how long I stay in here! For now I'm just going to enjoy it!

Back in the CRAFTY Swing of things...
Hello there! Geez it's been awhile since I've been on here. My ELB shop is back up and running so please take a minute to check that out. I'm no longer teaching preschool as my littlest one is off to Kindergarten and now I'm a full fledged stay at home crafter and school volunteer. Needless to say my plate is still full and I like it that way. I have some projects I need to blog about and I look forward to reading all my favorite blogs too. Life is good!
