New Restaurant!

Hey all - A new cheap German restaurant has opened near The Camp in Costa Mesa called
Valhalla Table! I can not wait to try it since it's in walking distance from my pad! Reviews have been decent on Yelp, but I think it is worth a personal try since you do not come across
German restaurants much around here. Check it out when yo can.

Bracelet How to

Here is a great tutorial posted on OH SO CRAFTY's blog. This bracelet looks
so lovely and you could definitely replace the pearls with an other kind of bead
if you are not into the pearls!

Love This Project

I had so much fun using this tutorial on how to transfer a photo into art
on fabric using household items. It was so easy! I made two pillow cases for my husband,
one with Leia's head silhouette and the other with Han Solo's!

Easy Bird Bath

I have had a big terra cotta pot sitting in my yard for awhile now, so I thought I would take THE NEW GREEN's blog advice and turn it into a bird bath! So easy and so much less expensive, as they can cost a ton! You can even buy great Terra cotta paints at craft stores if you want to freshen up that pot!

I found this FREE downloadable 2010 calendar via Craft Gossip and designed by Gleaux. Just load into printer with some card stock, print, cut, punch a hole in the top of each piece, tie a ribbon through all, and hang! Yeah, a beautiful calendar for the new year!
