Warm & Bright Idea



Love the warm glow of fairy lights during the holidays.

These floral lights are so easy to make.
Just pop out the centers of fabric flowers
and insert the the mini light bulbs.

Even though these are beautiful all year
Now is the time to grab unique
light up branches and string lights to make them.

Warmest Wishes To You !

Some People Are Born With Glitter In Their Veins

I am of which, am one of those persons.


Do you sprinkle the sparkly stuff all year long ...
or do you keep it to just the holidays ?

To all the gluttons of glitter
or sparkle suppressed

This one's for you.

I think my favorite place to twinkle is in unexpected places.

Check out these darling gilded suede boots paired with denim.
You can do this yourself ... & easily.
Just mask off with masking/blue tape, generously brush on some Sobe craft glue,
and sprinkle on the glitter, immediately remove the tape, let dry & go be chic.


For champagne sipping nails,
here's a trick I tried last year and can't wait to do again.

Just apply a little nude or sheer pink tone nail polish.
Clearcoat and while wet, sprinkle on a little glitter.
( I like Martha Stewart's fine gold available at Michaels ).
Once dry, clear coat one more time.


For the glamour girls on our gift list
who wouldn't want these hangers ?

Spraypaint a wood hanger with gold or silver paint
generously coat the wood part with Sobe glue or any other thick clear drying white glue.
Cover in gold or silver sequins ( glitter's big sister ).

Just to show, sometimes a little glamour doesn't cost a thing.


Hope you enjoy &

Stay Sparkly,
Lisa
