I have to admit I had a hard time with this one. I'm not very good at making things for guys. Just ask my brother or Tyler. I've tried, but somehow rhinestones & glitter make their way onto my projects no matter how hard I try to keep them off. I lived next to Dan while attending USU. He used to bring his guitar over everyday and make up songs about everyone. It was very entertaining. He also made his own shoes (out of bike tires) that he wore most days. I had quite a shoe collection at the time, but I have to admit, I was a little jealous of his. Last spring Tyler and I visited Dan and his family while we were in NYC (they live there... I'm jealous of that too!) We found out that his wife was not only very nice, but is an
excellent photographer as well. I decided I could make some cool magnets with some of her great photography, but there were just too many great photos to choose from.
Dan is a great picture taker as well (He even takes pictures with his kite). So I decided to make them a "Make your own bottle cap magnets kit" The kit includes 8 pre-glued magnet bottle caps, detailed instructions, and a non-toxic resin. This way, they can choose which photos they would like to make into magnets.
While in NY, we also met Hannah & Jane (their cute kids.) I was making Ella some new butterfly/fairy wings (her old ones are almost rags.) and I couldn't resist making a pair for each of them.

Along with matching "garden fairy" adjustable bracelets.

And of course, matching hair accessories.

Above is a picture of Ella getting ready to take off in her new wings. I hope Hannah & Jane have fun playing in their new wings as well.
Thanks for playing my game Dan. I'll put your package in the mail this week.
