Leaving for North Carolina...

Hey friends!
I fly down to North Carolina tomorrow for the Donna Downey Inspired Event and I am almost ready to go! My kits were packed and shipped last week, I've taken care of all the last minute details and I am so excited to be going! It's kept me so busy the last month or so. I can't wait to see this whole event in action. And Sharon is going with me to help with the classes. I love seeing her and spending time with her. The whole experience will be well worth all the hard work it took to get ready for it.
I wanted to share my latest creation-this funky Lollipop apron you see below. I have been hoarding my Prima Lollipop flowers for some time and I thought it was time to use them up. I took them apart and mixed them up to create some funky flowers. I added some pebbles to some of the centers too.

I painted the main part with Aqua Acrylic paint, added Lettuce to the bottom ruffle and lathered some "Be positive" Glimmer Glam on the sash. (I was lucky enough to snag a bottle from CHA-hehe)

I originally thought of making a border across the bottom but it didn't look quite right to me. So instead-I have them cascading down the front in no particular order...

This is Jack's good friend Maddie modeling it for me. I had a hard time photographing it without it being shown this way and she sweet enough to help me out. Love this girl!
I think I might wear this to the event over the weekend-what do you think?

And last but not least-my sweet boy Bryan had his First Communion this past weekend. It was a beautiful ceremony and I am so proud of him. He says he's a man now. Not too sure about that but it is a big step in his little life. And I LOVED having him all dressed up-I never get to see that-EVER! He's a photo of my two boys before we headed out....

So that's it for now! I plan to share some photos and stories when I get back.

Wish me luck!

xoxo Cari
