Celebrated friendship with my gals with a fabulous Galentine’s afternoon tea where love, laughter, and sweet treats took center stage! Enjoyed an elegant spread of heart-shaped tea sandwiches, scones, and desserts, all paired with a selection of delightful teas. This cozy and festive event was the perfect way to celebrate the love of sisterhood. 💕☕✨
Take a look at my Valentine’s designs made with my Cricut Maker! I breathed new life into wine glasses, wine bottles, mason jars, whiskey bottles and pillows, turning them into festive masterpieces. I also crafted elegant wreaths and charming wall décor, and even transformed my hanging candles into Cupid’s dreamy cloud of hearts. And for the grand finale – I gave my Christmas trees a romantic makeover, turning them into whimsical Valentine’s trees!
The 97th Academy Awards are tomorrow! I managed to watch 15 of the nominees this year, including all 10 Best Picture nominees. Overall, I’d call this a down year for movies, but there were still a few bright spots. Here are my picks (not predictions, mind you) for this year’s awards:
Dune: Part II
Sci-fi is my favorite genre, and the well-regarded Dune book franchise is one that I’ve tried to get into but just couldn’t. But the films? Impeccably made. Director Denis Villenueve and cinematographer Greig Fraser have catapulted themselves into the conversation of best in their respective fields. And plot-wise, this was an improvement on its predecessor. Much like Oppenheimer last year, no other Best Picture nominee comes close to Dune in sheer spectacle. For that reason, it’s my top pick.
For Halloween 2024, we brought an enchanted twist to a classic fairytale! I became an eternal Sleeping Beauty, awaiting true love’s kiss from my devoted, elderly Prince Phillip. Check out how we crafted my spooky Aurora look, transformed Phillip into a timeless charmer, and created eerie Maleficent props for a Haunted Castle themed party.
Target Field, home of the Minnesota Twins, is a thoughtfully designed, open-air ballpark nestled in the heart of Minneapolis. A far cry from the sterile confines of the old Metrodome, this purpose-built stadium combines modern amenities, local flavor, and retro charm to create a space that truly celebrates baseball – and the community that surrounds it. With its skyline views, signature limestone architecture, and spirited fan culture, Target Field stands as a worthy cathedral for Twins Territory.
We threw an epic watch party for The Rings of Power Season 2 premiere—complete with elf, dwarf, and Harfoot-inspired bites and a quest-worthy hunt for the 20 Rings of Power! As Nori and the Stranger, we fully embraced our Middle-earth roles in costume and in spirit. From lembas to every kind of ringed munchy, the evening was magical from first sip to final scene. Check out the photos and videos—we promise, it was one party to rule them all!
I converted my Daenerys costume to Rhaenyra by adding dragon scale mail armor, dragon clasps, and a Targaryen belt to the black dress as well as 3D printing a new crown. I wore it for our House of the Dragon Season 2 finale party.
We had an amazing time hosting a watch party for the House of the Dragon Season 1 premiere and Season 2 finale. We hosted a Game of Throne premiere party for the final season of GoT and of course reused the Iron Throne I built for this. I’ve 3D printed new dragons, eggs, swords and crowns to add to our collection.
