Tutorial for "Love Notes" Mailboxes

Here is the link {http://emilygiovanni.com/?p=1520} for the tutorial for the "love notes" mailboxes. The only that I would suggest is that you do not have to cut a hole in the paper... just cut it a little more to avoid wrapping it around the flag. Also, you can avoid putting paper on the front and just use embellishments instead. Please feel free to email me if you should have any questions or comments....

I am going to leave you with some more mailbox "eye candy."







Until next time...

For the Love of the Crown...

I have competed in pageants every since I can remember... The earliest pageant that I can actually remember winning was when I was junior high... And then I caught it... What you ask??? The pageant fever!!!

I don't think that I loved the pageant (the competition aspect) more than I loved the crown... Now, don't get me wrong... I was never the type that wore my crown longer than it took for me to take a picture for the local paper... I never carried myself as if I was greater or any less than anyone else... I just had a true love for the crown...

Well, now many years later, I am still involved in almost every facet of pageantry. I produce, coach, and consult with promising pageanteers. I love what I do... But there is still something that brings me right back to the crown... What is that something you ask???? Royalty!!! I think that crowns and tiaras are sooo royal...

While surfing the web for some crown clipart, I found some wonderful sites and blogs concerning crowns.

Your Highness!
