p.s. I found my white paper lanterns for a great price at The Paper Lantern Store. I went with the 10 inch lanterns, and they were a nice quality and the perfect size.

spring church party 2011
Please forgive my recent absence ... things have been busy around here! Last night we had our annual spring celebration for the women's organization at my church. I had a lot of fun with the decorations this year - the theme was light-oriented, so we went overboard with lanterns, twinkle lights, and etched candle votives (75 of them!). And of course, lots of pretty flowers. You can never go wrong with flowers.
It was a special evening with delicious food, a fun atmosphere, and lovely company. And I'm not kidding on the food - our dessert bar included vanilla bean creme brulee. My mouth is still watering!

etched owl glasses
For my owl-obsessed friend Sonja's Christmas gift, I etched a set of owl glasses.
Glass etching is one of those simple, satisfying projects that anyone can make with the right supplies. All you need is glass etching cream, vinyl or contact paper, glass to etch, and if you're smart - protective gloves. I cut the owls out of vinyl on my Silhouette Cameo, but you can definitely do it by hand if you are patient. Apply the vinyl to the glass and etching cream on top of that. The etching cream will work wherever it comes into contact with the glass. Wait the recommended time, then rinse off the glass. That's it!
