Handi Dandi: August 2011
http://handidandi.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
A blog by Mandi. Thursday, August 25, 2011. This Force Is Strong. Last weekend Gabriel and I went to a Star Wars themed birthday for a friend's daughter's 4th birthday. Gabriel and I were so excited so we kind of went all out. I made Star Wars themed confetti cupcakes. Who doesn't love a confetti cupcake every now and then? I just loved the light saber cupcake picks from Amazon. I might buy some more just to make my own Star Wars cupcakes. I've been wanting to make this recipe from the Star Wars Cookbook.

Handi Dandi: The Jig Is Up
http://handidandi.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-jig-is-up.html
A blog by Mandi. Tuesday, February 19, 2013. The Jig Is Up. After many, many year of making jewelry the same way a different day, I finally tried something new. Hubby bought me this very cool book, Contemporary Bead and Wire Jewelry. For Valentine's Day. It has a lot of cool "recipes" in it for making all sorts of jewelry designs using wire and metal. I've never used either before so I was a little intimidated but Hubby convinced me I was up for the task so I tried it anyway. Another "recipe" involved cr...

Handi Dandi: Staging to Sell
http://handidandi.blogspot.com/2013/02/staging-to-sell.html
A blog by Mandi. Tuesday, February 5, 2013. When I worked in real estate education we offered a class about staging to sell. I did not personally take the class since I'm not actually a realtor. However now I'm realizing how important it is in many elements of sales. Take this tragic photo for example:. This is a photo of one of the best necklaces I've ever made but the photo just makes it look like a blurry mess. Problem is, I'm a photographer. I should know better! Gabriel, 20 months. Do you use models?

Handi Dandi: June 2011
http://handidandi.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
A blog by Mandi. Thursday, June 9, 2011. On May 25, 2011 my life changed forever and I couldn't be happier about it. After 10 torturous months of waiting, this beautiful little guy came into my world:. Gabriel Owen, 10lbs 3oz, 22.5". I love him more than I ever dreamed was possible. Every once on a while I think I'm going to wake up and discover it was all a dream. I just have such a hard time believing he's real. That it's all real. I'm someone's mommy!

And thanks to Pinterest.and my mother's endless paper craft selection.we were able to pull off quite a spectacular day! I chose the cutest sock monkey theme with the colors aqua, red, and white. Every month on the 25th I took a photo of Gabriel in the same chair to chart his growth. I printed out 1 of each of the months and made the cutest clothesline banner of all the photos!

Handi Dandi: My New Favorite
http://handidandi.blogspot.com/2013/02/my-new-favorite.html
A blog by Mandi. Friday, February 8, 2013. I have a strong attachment to everything I make whether it be jewelry or a photo so it's no surprise that every time I make something new it magically becomes my new favorite. My latest creation is no different. I'm always my most creative at 1AM. Hubby and my little man are in bed, the dogs are sleeping, and the house is all mine. I use a bead or charm or pendant to kick off my inspiration then just start "building." I have a beading board like this. My Crazy L...

Handi Dandi: January 2011
http://handidandi.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
A blog by Mandi. Sunday, January 30, 2011. I took part in my first swap in a long time. The Vintage Valentine's Day Corsage Swap over at Sweet Goodness Swaps. The actual goodies will go out in the mail tomorrow so I can't reveal my creation yet but I figure it's ok to show it all package up and ready to go! Haven't decided if I'm going to tackle another swap any time soon, I think I need get my craftiness back with a little practice first so I don't stress out more than necessary!
