Welcome to DIY Day! Are you ready to share your latest project?

If you’re new here, every Tuesday we get together to share our newest DIY projects. I’m really flexible about what constitutes a DIY project. A furniture makeover, an outdoor project, a holiday craft, some new artwork…maybe a great recipe?

And we have a fantastic prize this week!

Kelly from Purple Lemon Designs is a long-time sponsor of A Soft Place to Land. Kelly is a super-talented designer and Purple Lemon Designs is full of custom rubber stamps and beautiful stationery items.

Her custom address stamps are adorable. Even your bills will feel fancy when you stamp your address with a monogram. I think these address stamps make an awesome housewarming, wedding or birthday gift.

Purple Lemon Designs is doing something extra special this month. March is congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) awareness month. Kelly is donating 10% of her sales to The Parker Reese Foundation in order to raise awareness for this birth defect. You can help too! Just make a purchase! :)

In addition to all of the address, wedding and business stamps, Purple Lemon Designs also has a whole line of customized printable stationery. If you love the look of personalized stationery, but not the cost, then this is for you! You receive a PDF file of your customized design and detailed instructions for printing your own beautiful stationery from your printer at home! Printable stationery starts at only $5.00!

Now onto our prize!!! One lucky winner will receive a $40 store credit to Purple Lemon Designs! Maybe you’ll use it to purchase a Polka Dot Address Stamp, a Scrolling Bookplate Stamp or a Business Thank You Stamp.

How can you win? Simple. Just link up a post to DIY Day this week and you’ll be entered to win!

Now let’s see those projects! Please…

  1. Include a short description of your DIY project in parenthesis after the name of your blog. This helps people browse the HUGE number of projects. And you get MORE clicks!
  2. Link to your specific post, not the main page of your blog. I HATE having to delete these. It makes me feel like a big meanie.
  3. Link to this party from your post so everyone can get in on the fun.

Kimba Gets a Make-Up Lesson

by Kimba on March 8, 2010

in Real Me

girl talkSo I finally learned how to put on eye-make up! Wanna see? I don’t usually put on makeup in my kitchen but my bathroom was a mess. Just being real. :)

I used Mac Cosmetics in the video, but since this isn’t a Mac commercial, I feel comfortable telling you that you can find similar products and colors at the drugstore. I love Mac Cosmetics but there are perfectly good, less expensive brands out there. Here are the products that I mention in the video:

makeup

Mac Paints Eye Shadow in Stillife (I keep calling this a primer in the video. It’s actually an eye-shadow that I use as a primer.)
Mac Eyeshadow in Chamomile
Mac Eyeshadow in Mulled Cider
Mac 217 Blending Brush
Revlon Liquid Eyeliner in Bronze Shimmer
Cover Girl LashBlast Mascara in Black

Do you know how to put on eye shadow?

Did you see the 11 winners from last weeks DIY Day?

Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith,
having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience
and having our bodies washed with pure water.
Hebrews 10:22
