{dream on}

I totally went nuts buying image plates.  My husband said I could probably open my own nail salon.  I get a little excessive when I get into something.  Anyways, here's my first try at it.  

tools:

• sinful colors "dream on" (this is a matte nail polish that they failed to label on mine.  FAILED!)
• sinful colors "snow me white"
• gals image plate GA22
• stamp set (i have konad double sided stamp set) 

how to:

• apply base coat.  apply sinful colors "dream on".  allow polish to fully dry.
• quickly as you can: apply sinful color "snow me white" onto desired design on image plate, scrape off excess polish, press stamper straight down onto image, roll stamper onto thumb to transfer the image.  Repeat steps for all nails.  Here's a tutorial to reference.  
• once images are dry, apply top coat.  

{mommy crisis}

This little guy.  The days of his lonely two bottom front teeth will soon be long gone as this momma just discovered his top FOUR front teeth have emerged and soon they will be having their debut.  Rats!  Why so soon??  Every day I hold him tighter and tighter to savor every second of him because time just goes by too darn fast.  I can't believe he's already almost 7 months.  Two months after that he'll be 9 months and then 3 months after that we'll be celebrating his 1st birthday.  WAAAAAAAAH!  Please. Slow. Down. Time.
