What's your "Signature Series" Fashion Sense or Non sense?

How many of us people watch when sitting in a crowded venue, park or event?We definitely do it at gala award ceremonies or even company parties.Don't get me started at family gatherings when Uncle Bob  brings his flavor of the month -yes I try not to judge yet I'm prone to WHAT WAS SHE THINKING?There's children here! I know that is so wrong yet does it count if I keep it to myself?

Are you a skirt girl? Do you like above the knee,below? Ankle length? I find the older and heavier I am the longer the skirt. If toned would I be more incline to shorting the shirt?When was the last time you wore a skirt? Did it have to be a special occasion? I'm amazed how many woman dislike their knees.

Back in this era no need to worry about the knees. Can you imagine putting these dresses on today?

What about shoes? Do you have the same style you've worn for decades? I'm a firm believer to change your shoe style a few times  a year to symbolize "walking" into a new season. What season are you walking?

Do you have favorite ring or just a wedding ring? I've worn thumb rings for over 20 years now. They are my "SIGNATURE SERIES" a part of my style- I will never change. Do you have a style that is your signature series?

Are you wearing the same make up colors and style from yesteryear? Try changing it up a bit by adding a different color. Start slow with a darker shade of eyeshadow even just adding water to your existing eyeshadow adds a more vibrant color.

When was the last time you wore a dress? Make it a point to play dress up once a month add it to a date night .Unless your very single, like myself, wear  a dress visiting  your local Starbucks, book store or church. Ladies take note, I didn't say at a Taco Tuesday bar night or  while attending your loosey goosey cousins house party. I'm just saying.

Are you a hat girl? Remember to wear a hat outside!Regardless of your age!It doesn't have to be this little number yet something that makes you have good hat hair.   

Casual pants in the summer are cooling . Ladies make sure they are comfortable and the right size.  

Dress up or with casual flats look clean and crisp.

Can you imagine what was going on her head in the summer heat? Wearing gloves to boot! Awe the horror!

Kate could still rock this while pregnant. Where were all the cute  maternity clothes 15 years ago?  

Awe this is contemporary!

Very Presidential!

Carefree and Strong bold colors!

Awe, another too hot to wear out in the fields attire. Even the baby looks miserable!

Love this casual loose look too bad her television doesn't have cable! No wonder she looks so sad!

Here's my "Signature Series" What is yours? if you don't have one create one. Reinvent yourself starting today or next paycheck. Visit yard sales or Goodwill or invite friends over for a Clothes Swap Party'! Hey now that's an idea!

Mount Soledad Memorial - La Jolla CA

My 14 year old Julia and I had to run an errand so we ended up in La Jolla,CA on top of Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial. What a special place to honor our veterans! This is a must stop if ever in San Diego! The locals should make it a point to come and honor the veterans especially this time of the year!

Michael's Blank Tan Cards with Envelopes Upgrade

There comes a time in my head that I do realize I have created an item that will not sell. Either its too plan possibly not enough effort was put into the project or it's just not pleasing to the eye. It can be that way with store displays ,our homes or even a toxic relationship. Where after awhile something we put together is no longer working. Take these 2 cards for example. These cards have been  collecting dust at our  Farmer's Market vendor booth since December 2012. Unfortunately there were more than one therefore  it was time to take notice with revamping  giving them a mini face lift.

Awe I love second chances! We shall see if the revamping works!

This one I completely covered and gave a major face lift and tummy tuck! Major over haul!

Michael's Flower Stamp,Lunch bags & Taffeta Gift Bags

I've been holding on to these lunch bags for about a year acquired them from a yard sale last summer. Not really knowing what to do with them until last night when it came to me I would make them into little gift bags.

Here's a little "flower" cut out purchased at Michael's  .It's tiny and easy to use.

A small rool of "tan taffeta" purchased at a yard sale ,love the neutral coloring since it goes with anything.

Armed  with scissors and extra paper pieces - I was off to create one of a kind gift bags. Inexpensive ones at that!

Here's the finished product 

Pretty simple and basic! Easy on the eye and budget! 

Mod Podge Michael's Blank Book Markers

 I love Book Markers with modern technology I'm afraid they won't  be around in another 10 years. Feels like I'm creating collector items!What do you think?Please tell me I'm wrong!
 Well, I decided to try and create a few to sell at the local Farmers market for Julia's Summer Camp Fundraiser.

Here is the  simple and easy process:  

I began with blank book markers & my ultimate favorite "MOD PODGE"
Notice the book markers on sale! Yeah!  

Added a few supplies from other projects. It's really important to use as many "scrap" pieces as you can. I tend to "save" everything- you just never know when you are going to need it right?

To get my production line going- I mainly concentrated on "taping" my rooster tape on each book marker. You can use them on all for an overall uniform look or  make then totally orginal and only add the tape on a few markers.

It's pretty basic from here on end. This is a cute project for school age kids or even  for  a book club gathering. hey,that would be a great way to bond even designing them to match the theme of the book of the month!

I lined them up like little soldiers all neat and uniform.

Pretty colors! Add buttons or whatever scraps you can come up with.

Once dried they are ready to be packaged and ready for the Farmers market on Saturday!
