Jewelry Displays

Hello! I hope you are having a fabulous summer.

I finally have the time to work on all these projects that are not school related! This week we celebrated the 4th of July with family and friends. My husband spent most his free time last week off with the guys building a great fire works display. I spent my free time building a display for my Paparazzi business! 

I followed a lady's tutorial on you tube and you can see that HERE. 

My pictures are poor quality because I used my phone. Sorry!

My adventure began with a trip to Home Depot. 

We picked up peg board, vecro strips, S hooks, and paint! 

I ran to Target and bought a garment rack too! 

We had some fun painting the back side of the boards.

I followed the You tube video to set up the displays. 

Then filled them with my inventory! 

Here are some close ups! 

I am so excited to host my first party soon and grow my inventory! 

Each piece is for sale for $5.50. The children's stretchy headbands are 5 for $5.50. 

Hosting an in home party or an online party gets you TONS of free jewelry! 

Everything sells straight from inventory with no catalogs. No waiting! No competing with other consultants. 

I can sign you as a consultant on my team and you can sell yourself! I can connect you to fabulous women to learn more about the group. There is really nothing for you to lose here these fabulous things sell themselves! 

The best part is making other women sparkle.  

I am so excited about my future with this fabulous company!

Celebrate!

Jumping into things again I wanted to share a bit of my life. 

I am married to a very caring, protective, hardworking, and loving man.

This weekend we celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary! We had a bit of a "staycation" and unplugged from the internet for a few days. We had a blast watching movies, playing board games, and having some great conversation. Everything I do would not be possible without him. 

TO honor this time I want to share some wedding photos and date night ideas! 

Enjoy the photos and plan a fun date night!

Coffee Bar Update!

You can see my original coffee bar post HERE. I haven't fixed my menu board yet after discovering the Oops!

However, One day I was looking around pinterest and such for inspiration for mug and supply storage. I knew I loved this idea...

It didn't lead me to the original poster so If you know who this is let me know!

I LOVE the 3 teared look for supplies! I even have a few little bowls just like that so I was excited. I decided I would look around local thrifty antique type shops for something with a bit of character. I hadn't stumbled upon the perfect piece though and I was growing impatient. Okay really, I had hardly looked. But I wanted something NOW! Ha, just so typical me. So I began pondering ways I could make the look myself! Hey, if I can make it myself for free... WHY NOT?!

I then saw this idea... 

Image from somewhere on This Site

I love the cups on the platter! Actually I love the everything in the picture. I knew I had a platter I hardly used too! So my wheels got spinning... 

I had also seen people make layered trays and cake stands by gluing inexpensive pieces together. So I thought maybe I could find something cheap in a store and make it.. 

I decided for now I'd grab my platter and then keep looking. So off to my kitchen I went to grab that bugger. I opened my cupboard to see my cake stand sitting on top of my platter. 

DUH!!!

Seriously, I should have thought of that. I took the two pieces but did NOT glue them together. My cake stand sat firmly on top and since it is the only platter and only cake stand I own I wanted to be able to use them when needed. 

The results..

Now, I will keep my eyes out for the the perfect piece so these pieces can easily be used for entertaining or Birthday cakes. This cake stand is special to me and I would hate for it to take a beating. However, for now this works great! I'm sure when we move (hopefully in the next few months..) The whole space will be entirely different anyway! 

Seriously, look around before you spend any money. You might just score some great storage. :) 

Love!
