Reasons To Celebrate

Some exciting news to share today! I received my complementary issue of Somerset Life for having my washi tape box published.
I'm always so thrilled to see any of my projects in a magazine. What a fun project this was covering a shadow box with different types of tissue tape, and then filling the compartments with special trinkets.
To see more details of this box, see my post here: http://artfulplay.blogspot.com/2013/01/washi-tape-shadow-box.html. Also, my friend, Connie Freedman was also published for her Jewelry Box project in the same issue - congrats!
My sister, Diana, was inspired from the washi tape box and just created the box below - it's awesome, just love it!

Next, I'm so proud of my 15 year old daughter, Rachel. She has just reached 40,000 subscribers on her own YouTube channel with over 100 videos: KawaiiSweetWorld...Woo-hoo!!! 
She features baking and crafting videos, and started the channel  just a few years ago. It's just grown so rapidly - it's amazing! 

Rachel also performed this past weekend in a dance show doing a total of 6 tap, hip-hop, and jazz numbers. These were her costumes:
I loved her outfits - it was fun performance to watch and I'm so proud of her too!

Thanks to Stampington and my daughter's creativity and hard work - just reasons to be happy!
