do you want to hear something nuts?

Aug 26, 2011

 WE'VE BEEN PUBLISHED!!!!
 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All because of this necklace that i made out of my favorite ruined tee shirt!


i was digging through the 99cent patterns and clearance fabric at Joanns the other day and thought "hey, i wonder if Altered Couture came out yet.."

i was excited to find that not only had the magazine come out but my project was mentioned on the cover! THE COVER!
 i felt like a major doofus when i let out a yelp in the middle of Joanns... i promptly texted these 2 pics to anyone who cared and then peed my pants.. {not really actual pee}

there she is..... so nuts.

eek.
coolest part is this project was in the company of some of the most gorgeous stuff, seriously amazing art, you wouldn't even want to wear some of it because you wouldn't want to ruin it... check it out here

update ... sorry i wasn't super clear, i was totally involved in all of this... they contacted us and asked if they could use the necklace and if i wouldn't mind parting with it for a few months... i even wrote the article {i sincerely hope they caught all spelling mistakes! :)} they sent me my own copy of the magazine but i saw it in the store before i recieved mine... thats why i was surprised..  we are hoping to continue to work with them on other projects because this was just too much fun!

  2. Wait one minute, girlies...are your names/blog given any credit for your inspirational idea?  Or did I miss seeing it on the cover or in the article?  Such substantial braininess should be substantially rewarded and aknowledged!  As you would say..."I love your guts!"  xo

  5. Did they give you credit? They should have contacted you and asked if they could feature your project. When you are featured, they should send you a copy of the magazine you are featured in.

  14. thanks love! honestly our entire family is pretty petite  i am only 5'2" and our mom is still a very small lady after having 7 kids so its probably more likely a genetic thing... that being said, we are all very healthy eaters, none of us like sweets, we all dance, instead of stress eating we are all the "lose your appetite" type... and i personally don't eat dairy {gives me nasty migraines} i have  noticed that since i quit dairy those 5 lbs that would come and go just dont come any more.... i do have a friend who is super fit and has great tips and tricks on her blog http://csperriton.blogspot.com/ shes kind of amazing and she is a nutrition and exercise counselor {way more qualified than i am to give you tips} :)

  15. Congrats! :)  I, of course, had no clue, BUT, was leafing through @ Barnes & Noble....the first thing I noticed was "Make a fabulous necklace with only 2 items."  Flipped to that article......and was like, "Nuh-uh...I've already seen this!"  Was super excited for you guys! :)  Awesome!
