June DIY was a blast!

Thank you to everyone that made it out to this month's Sweet DIY Craft Party.  As you can see, we had a blast designing our own headbands and hair snappers.  Everyone did such a fantastic job working from the supplies provided and creating something uniquely theirs.  Well done, ladies!

As always, the food is fantastic!  Thanks, Sweetspot!

Another sample headband perfect for girls that want to twinkle!

The first stop as our guests came in - the supply table

Most of us decided to hand stitch our flowers to snappers.

This month's Sweet DIY project

Have you already secured your tickets for this month's Sweet DIY Craft Party?  If not, you'll be missing out on another great do-it-yourself project that the Oh!Carousel gals developed just for this occasion.

This month is foofy headband month!  You'll have a general base of stretchy headband material to start with.  But, be thinking about how you want to foof it up to make it glamorous, exotic, or playful. 

What is a Sweet DIY Craft Party?  Consider it a healthy serving of creative atmosphere, a dash of tasty treats for the tummy, and a big ole cup of stretching your imagination to wash it all down! 

We provide the general idea or project theme.  But you get to have all the fun while you design the details, figure out how it all goes together, and actually construct your creation.  Then, at the end of the evening, we snap a photo of your work of art and you get to take home something you probably wouldn't have ever tried making at home.

Oh, and the best part is we clean up the mess for you!  So, we'll see you Thursday, hmmmm?

June Spa Party Update

We're sorry to say that the June Spa Party has been rescheduled for late July.  Tickets will be available soon.  Until then, be on the lookout for some other fun things we're doing to round out the rest of this month...

First up is the this month's Sweet DIY on Thursday, June 24th.  Tickets can be purchased online via Paypal (no PP account needed) on the right sidebar. 

More fun stuff announced soon!

Recap of May Sweet DIY

If you were lucky enough to attend our first DIY Craft Party, you probably had a blast.  We thank everyone who attended and we wholeheartedly appreciate the enthusiasm for that wonderful thing called crafting. 

If you weren't able to attend, its OK.  You can still get tickets for June's session.  We'll be doing fun and frilly headbands this month!  See you then.

How do you beat a warm welcome of treats like this?

Sweet DIY

The Sweet DIY is a Do-It-Yourself Class where you get to learn something, make a project, and then take it home that same day.  This Thursday evening, we are hosting a class at The Fabulous Fabric Shop in Shasta Center complete with champagne punch and delectable desserts from Sweetspot.

The project will be wine charms and coasters made of chalk cloth.  What is chalk cloth, you ask?  It is a material that made to be written on and then erased over and over like a chalk board.

The project is just in time and perfect for summertime entertaining.  In fact, you could even use your newly made stuff this weekend for that Memorial Day barbecue!

The class goes from 7-8:30pm and costs a total of $15.  The class is $10 and then the supplies are $5.  If you have already purchased your ticket but not your supplies, please bring cash the evening of the event.  There are a few seats still available.  Get yours now!

PS: This is an easy project that would be great for moms and daughters or best friends that just need some quality time together!                                               

First Pedi Party

We had such a wonderful, glamorous time at our first Pedi Party last night.  The people were refreshing.  The food was, as always, fantastic.  The shopping was unique.  And our hosts were exceedingly accommodating.  We will SO be doing this again!
