Danny Dino

I recently visited The Utah Museum of Natural History. My favorite FAVORITE part was the wall of dinosaur skulls:


Since then, I've been obsessing about how cool a wall like that would look at my house. I have been searching the internet for some tutorials on how to make a paper mache dino skull. I was expecting a tutorial for something as epic as the life-size Danny Dino head Gus made in elementary school on the Psych episode 65 Million Years Off:


But I couldn't find anything. I found this super rad pic of a cardboard dino head:


 and this other amazing pic of a cardboard dino head:



Both of which I LOVE, but they are not skulls. But then today, after several weeks of periodic failed attempts, I finally Googled the correct words and found a real paper mache dino skull tutorial!! 


It is pretty technical and may be beyond my abilities to create but hey, I found a tutorial! And someday I might actually make it. And I will have the coolest TV room of all time.

Sneak Peek


You guys have heard me talk about my good friend and great photographer Jessica Peterson on here before.  I was lucky enough to do a photo shoot with her and a couple of other really great vendors for a Scenemaker wedding shoot. I don't have real images to share here yet but I'm excited to share a few quick iPhone photos of how fun this was.   I will make sure and share the details when Jessicas beautiful photos are available. 






Guys.  I feel pretty lame about putting that last selfie in there, but probably the hair Soula did is probably the fanciest my hair will ever be. WHOOPS!

cookies!!!

The only thing I care about right now is cookies. I am a sucker for homemade cookies. So today I'm going to post a bunch of beautiful looking cookie photo/recipes (none of which belong to me). Then I'm going to eat a cookie. Maybe this weekend I will try one of these recipes. If you try any of these, let me know how it goes. Or better yet, please bring me one!
