Intergalactic

I had been so excited for August 27th this year, the day when Mars was supposedly going to be the closest its been to Earth in thousands of years. I wanted to throw an outer space-themed party complete with spiked Tang, and silver space balloons.


I recently found out, unfortunately, that this event already happened in 2003.

*sigh* So much for our imaginary trip to the Red Planet!

Crafting - Humongous Paper Roses!

Alright, these are just too fun not to post.

I'm on the daily craft email list from Martha Stewart, and today's craft was how to make these enormous crepe paper roses. It's a little odd that I like these so much, because fake flowers are usually not my thing. But, for some reason, these are different...


Editorial assistant, Morgan Levine, makes and sells them at her little online store, Amble Through Bramble; however, she gives a great video tutorial on how to make them. They're a little time intensive, but I think they would make great centerpieces at a dinner party or wedding reception (think three clustered in a short, wide vase).

*swoon*
