Cinco De Mayo Fun

So I went with the fam to the Cinco De Mayo Celebration out in Chandler, AZ. Mainly to see the Chihuahua dog run. We took some pics of  the dressed up Chihuahuas. People are very serious about their love for these little doggies. There was a photo studio set up outside to take photos of your “baby” beloved dog. Like I said – some seriousness going on here! The dog photo’s were $8 and people where lined up! I think the line was longer for that then for the tamale stand – what?!

This one belongs to my sister

Hawaiian Version Pooch

True Cinco De Mayo style!

I also had to partake in the holiday spirit a bit by getting on the trampoline bungee thing! A crane system pulled you up to about two stories high and would release you to bounce down onto the trampoline located below you. The first pull up I have to admit my stomach dropped a bit but after that it was a really fun two minute ride. I tried with everything I had to do a flip while up in the air but the core muscles just aren’t there. Those damn teenagers who went before me made it look so easy.

Trying with all my might to do a flip

I thought I would expand on the Modern Manor invite by posting several pictures of the inside of the space so folks could get a better sense of how fabulous it is. The boys have really amassed a lot of goodies! It is a fun place to just look around – kind of like a modern museum filled with well loved, used goodies! So stop on by and join us for  a toast to celebrate. Hope to see you there!

Crafty About Town

This weekend offered two fun crafty events in downtown Phoenix. I was at both demoing the YUDU. The first was the Coffee, Cookie, Crafts event at Braggs Pie Factory. Many vendors were selling their wares, kooky pinatas were hanging from the ceiling, there were cookies from Urban Cookies and demos from crafty types.  The second event was the Swap-O-Rama at Trunk Space. Folks came out to this one with their used clothes in hand ready to re-work them. Then we screen printed on the new garment. I made an apron out of a tee shirt and my buddy Sarah made a fun Princess dress for the short one, who came along for the day. Check out the tee-shirt apron how to over on Lovely Lula. After the Swap sewing and screening we went next door to Sweets and Beats for a candy treat – yum! We had a really good time! Yea Phoenix for getting Crafty!
