Your new Avon Representative

At a loss of options for finding a makeup that I really actually liked and that I could afford I asked my coworker to order me some Avon Mineral Foundation purely because it was inexpensive. For some reason I always thought Avon was cheap makeup for old women and I am, to be honest, a cosmetics snob. Buying from the shelves at Target or Wal-Mart was never acceptable to me. I guess that goes back to my years at Clinique. However, once I received my new foundation I was pleasantly surprised. I loved it and it didn't break the bank! I was wrong about Avon, it wasn't just for old people, it is for me too!

I loved the product but that wasn't enough for me to consider taking it on to sell. I have been down that road before, selling Pampered Chef. It was so time consuming which is something I don't have the luxury of having extra. It wasn't until I found out about Avon's new Mommy and Baby line coming out this April that I was convinced. Tiny Tillia has the most adorable products for babies and toddlers I just couldn't resist! I am now an Avon Representative and the way Avon is structured it isn't time consuming at all. No parties or travelling required, just me and a catalog.

Mirror Makeover

Finally! Time to update my guest bathroom! For my first project I updated the old boring mirror with some glass tile. It turned out amazing! What you need: -Sand paper (80 grit) -1" Mesh mounted tile -Painters Tape -2 part clear Epoxy Glue (I used 2.5 tubes of gorilla glue) -Unsanded Tile Grout (and grouting supplies) Step 1 : Lightly sand the edges of the mirror. Be sure only to sand the area the tile will be covering. You only need to scratch it up a bit to be sure the glue adheres. Step 2 : Cut the mesh on the tile to the desired boarder size. Mine is 3". Be sure to trim the edges of the mesh as close to the tiles as possible. Step 3 : Mix 2 part epoxy. Be sure to read the directions for the glue! You won't want to mix all of it at once or it will set before you are able to use it all. Apply glue to the back of the tile and position on mirror. You have a few minutes to adjust the tile positio...

Harry Potter Crib Mobile

A good friend of mine, whom is a huge Harry Potter fan, welcomed her son Stryder last month. As a baby gift I wanted to make her something with a Harry Potter theme for the baby room. I made Harry, Hermione, Ron, Snape, a snitch, Hedwig with Stryder's invitation to Hogwarts and the crests for all 4 houses with felt, glue, stuffing and thread. I purchased an already mobile on clearance and took it apart covering the hoops with a new fabric and replacing the ribbons to sew the figures onto. The only thing I was unable to do was find a music box that I could program with the Harry Potter theme song. The project took quite a bit of time but was an great way to create a personalized gift on a budget. Jameson had fun playing with the little figures. He used them as shadow puppets and when he found out they weren't for him he asked me to make one for him. So we introduced Spiderman to the Harry Potter gang :)

Wood Growth Chart

This project is a little late. It is something I have planned on doing for the last 3 years and just kept putting off. Finally after my youngest son ripped the paper chart we have I decided I had to get something more permanent. I have seen all kinds of different options on Pinterest that were all simple enough to make but I just could never find one that really struck my interest. So combining a few different ideas I came up with my own. I planned to make a tutorial out of this but it took a lot of trial and error before I finally got it complete and I'm not sure I could tell you all the steps it actually took. I will tell you how it ideally would have gone. If you want to try to take this on make sure you do a trial run on a scrap piece of wood! I started by measuring out the ruler and marking every inch. Then I took a router with a round bit and routed out the lines. This surprisingly was the easiest step of the whole process. I...
