I saw this great idea on <a href="http://pinterest.com/angck/for-the-home/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> for storing small amounts of paint in baby food jars to use for touch-ups. I finally did it, but re-used my kids' empty milk cartons from "free lunch at the park". I simply peeled off the milk label, washed out the carton, and labeled them with a sharpie- all important info, including which rooms they match. Then I swiped a little dab of the paint on my finger to put on the lid. SO simple! <br />

I am hoping this works out and keeps the paint fresh. The nice thing about this is that they are small enough to store inside the house in a cupboard or on a shelf for quick, easy access whenever you need them. Also, inside they are in controled temperatures so the paint doesn't freeze or bake. Yay! Thank you <a href="http://pinterest.com/angck/for-the-home/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>, for a great idea!<br />

You can go different ways with that theme, like "Rock-Star Diva", "Barbie" or "Fashionista". We called ours a <span style="font-size: large;">"Diva Dance Party"</span>.<br />
I found lots of ideas on Pinterest, of course; then added a few of my own...<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Diva Invitations</b></span><br />
I made the invitations myself with inspiration from <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/poshnchicprints/5416150437/" target="_blank">one I saw</a> on Pinterest. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifWb3kYs515v2DPiS2Y-z0Qs6yyLzO5kEFmlyaSVHvEwz6Ieeu7vQTC6lN4D3G137gX2NVety1XWiHiDKhyphenhyphengpyMAEqCeD-9YmETc4uKKK-SAHng976goIl12FaVN0qM_MpuHHN-K3Q2p4/s1600/covered+up.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifWb3kYs515v2DPiS2Y-z0Qs6yyLzO5kEFmlyaSVHvEwz6Ieeu7vQTC6lN4D3G137gX2NVety1XWiHiDKhyphenhyphengpyMAEqCeD-9YmETc4uKKK-SAHng976goIl12FaVN0qM_MpuHHN-K3Q2p4/s320/covered+up.png" width="247" /></a><br />
I have a wonderful, easy, and inexpensive program called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Encore-21560-Scrapbook-Boutique-SB/dp/B003M6DB8C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1373258193&sr=8-1&keywords=scrapbook+boutique" target="_blank">Scrapbook Boutique</a> that I use to make invitations and scrapbook pages. I love to google free and inexpensive digi kits online, to use for my projects. I found <a href="http://enlivendesigns.us/blog/tag/free-digital-paper/" target="_blank">this zebra one</a> while doing the Diva invitations.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Diva Cake</b></span><br />
My good friend, Joanne H. did the cake. (I can do simple cakes, but Joanne does the beautiful, fancy, professional kind.) It's a chocolate cake, iced with white buttercream, and black fondant for the zebra stripes. Mmmm... It was diva-lishous!!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Diva Decor and Party Supps</b></span><br />
I got the table covering, plates, napkins, cups, and pink serving bowls at Wal-mart. The rest came from Hobby Lobby. I made the chair-back cover years ago, and the "Birthday Diva" sash is from Hobby Lobby. I made the "Happy Birthday" banner myself with 12x12" scrapbook paper, black ribbon, and letters printed off the computer.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found these darling little paper "purses" at Hobby Lobby, so I dressed them up, each with a personalized "thank you" tag and a handmade flower clip attached. (I made the tags with Scrapbook Boutique; and the clips from dollar store flowers, double-pronged alligator clips from Sally's, and black feathers & jewels from Hobby Lobby.) Inside each "purse" I put a candy bracelet & a few other small candies (all from the bulk section of Winco). *Girls will add more to their purses during one of the games... </div>

Upon arrival the party guests got to choose a "purse", and I wrote their name on it with a black sharpie. (We then left them on the counter for later.) With my tween daughter & niece and 2 teenage nieces helping, we split the girls up to do their nails, a little makeup, and glitter spray in their hair. </div>

I had found a <a href="http://www.birthdaypartyideas.com/html/dress-up_parties_18.html" target="_blank">few games</a> through Pinterest that I thought we might play, but the timing was perfect for just one of them. "Pass the Purse"... A BIG HIT with these little girls! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In this game, all girls sit in a circle on the floor with their little "purse" favors in front of them. They pass the purse while music is playing, (like "hot potato"). When the music stops, the one holding the purse gets to choose one thing out of it to put in her own "purse". I had enough for one each of 4 small favors: a nail polish, a lip gloss, a colored fake-hair attachment, and a little note pad.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hobby Lobby- purses, hair attachments, note pads. Ross- nail polish & lipgloss. *I should've gone to Burlington Coat Factory instead for the nail polish & lipgloss. Was just there and saw more for less $! Oh well. These ones were cuter anyway! </div>

After 12 years of my comfy life as a stay-at-home-mom, the economy left us in dire circumstances; and I had to jump back into the working world. Only this time, as a working MOM. It has pretty much "rocked my world" these last couple years, and I had to put blogging [and myself] on the back-burner. :(<br /><div>

Life is crazy as a working mom, and the "juggling act" sends my anxiety level sky-high for 9 months. But I have no room to complain... My husband has a good job, our 4 children are all school-aged now, and I work for the school district doing something I love. (I'm a sign-language interpreter.) It's one of the BEST outside-the-home jobs a mom could ever have (working the school schedule). I feel SO very blessed! </div>

I'm loving my summer break, and working my tail off to get caught up on all the things I've neglected for the 9 months I work. (Last summer I was recovering from hysterectomy surgery, so maybe I'm really catching up on 1 year + 9 months of neglect.) Needless to say, I have tons of <span style="font-size: large;">organizing</span> to get done this summer, and I've been working on it every chance I get (between birthdays, baptisms, family reunion, camping, errands, playdates, and keeping my kids on top of their daily responsibilities). I've got lots of things to post on this blog, but my family and home will always take precedence. Hence the reason I've not posted for a long time. </div>

The DIRTY windows drives me nuts!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its been awhile since I attempted to clean them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I found a solution to this problem: make some Window cleaner!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have posted the recipe for you below(I got it from <a href="http://www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com/2012/04/streak-free-window-cleanerno-wiping-or.html">here</a>):</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 bottle (3.5 oz) of Jet Dry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4 Tbl. Alcohol</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/4 cup Ammonia</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/4 cup powdered Dishwasher Soap (I used Walmart brand)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 gallons HOT water</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dissolve the Dishwasher Soap into the Hot water. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then add the rest of the ingredients into a plastic bucket or tub. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 1: Spray the window with the hose</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 2: Wipe the window down with a microfiber 'mop" in the cleaning solution</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 3: Spray with the hose again. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Air dry. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">**TIP:</span> I found that I had better results when I used a <span style="font-size: large;">squeegee</span><br />
to remove the excess water instead of just letting it air dry.</div>

I thought this ornament was so beautiful. <a href="http://blog.betzwhite.com/2009/12/felt-ogee-ornament-tutorial.html">Go here </a>for a great tutorial.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had some leftover Christmas fabric to use. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cut some felt (I used felt and corduroy) 5"x 5" square. Glue them together with "HeatnBond".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I made my own template so it would go faster when cutting. I used a very sharp box knife.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You could stitch them together at the points but I used "Liquid Stitch".</div>

I had some extra wood to make these <b style="font-size: x-large;">Christmas Countdowns.</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I spray painted them red, drilled holes for the fabric ribbon and cut little squares(2"x2") for the chalkboard to write the numbers counting down. I used Martha Stewart's recipe(1 cup flat paint + 2 TBL. of unsanded tile grout). The Behr "sample" containers make a great amount, its flat sheen & you can add the grout to it.<br />
For the chalk: I drilled a bigger hole in these balls for the chalk to sit in. We just hot glued them on.<br />
They just had to add vinyl, ribbon and glue things on. It was a great activity!<br />
