make up and jewerly!

I have run out of yellow ink.
If you saw the House Warming stuff at House of 3, you’ll know why!
We had a great ‘turn-out’ to the house warming, and have decided to extend it… we’ll be leaving our projects and videos up on the home page.. we’ll keep the party going by showing off a project-a-day all week in the ‘create’ section of the  website. (today's project is also here) So watch for fun ideas, and quick project-printables (like these lists and -look for the cute calendar on Rhonna's blog) that will top the fabulous backgrounds that Rhonna designed especially for the House Warming!  Thank YOU for joining us.. for checking out the House, and making yourself at ‘home’. It was really cool connecting with you, and learning about what makes your HOMES! It was seriously awesome. Look for a contest announcement from House of 3!! sign up for the House of 3 newsletter to make sure you don't miss anything!
Can you believe it’s March!? Ok, big things are starting to SNEAK up on me, and I have to be really serious this week about finalizing all kinds of details… workshops, trips, designs, etc. all the sudden, WOW… it’s march. This needs to be a serious week for me.
I want to kick off March with some fun features on my blog here, and giveaways…as well as announcing some dates of where  I will be, so maybe you can join me!

at our home...
Capri is on a makeup kick/obsession. She loves watching me put on makeup, and I didn’t realize that she was gathering data: how to apply lipstick, what to do with those brushes, how to get mascara open, and where I store my makeup!  She could possibly be a budding makeup artist! Look at her creation! THIS IS WHAT SHE DID TO CONNOR!!! (this photo is of Connor.. Capri did the applicatioN!  i was noticing in the comments that people thought that this was a photo of Capri!..she still has her long. amazing curls!)
This was done with mac lasting liquid eyeliner… and good news, it’s LASTING! This happened approx 24 hours ago, and it still wont’ all come off. We have scrubbed, soaked, exfoliated… to no avail! And I JUST caught her with a lipstick holder and 2 of my ‘summer’ colors, are now colored all over the inside of the tub. Drat. I guess I should be watching them! LOL.

Today I have chosen to feature my dear friend LIZ EATON… I have had the pleasure of working and playing and traveling w/ LIZ, and she is so cool! She is pregnant with her second baby, and still managing to follow her bliss and create all kinds of stuff. She is just super creative, and has a really unique style…here is a peek into her studio.

She lives in Mesa, close to my Mesa house. Anyway… Liz’s first love is making Jewelry. She even has a degree in it from ASU! In fact, all you ladies out there with ‘she’ rings…they were made right here in Liz’s studio!  When Capri was born, I think it was Emily that commissioned a bracelet just for her, and as Capri grew, Liz had to add in some extra ‘links’… she still wears it every day, and I love it. it says, “Capri, She is loved”.  (so true).

this is kinda what capri's looks like up close:

 I have a couple of this same style of bracelet, and I love them-simple and easy to wear… Liz is offering one winner a piece of CUSTOM designed jewelry- anything on her ETSY site, with WHATEVER you would like…  i LOVE these.. a LOT:

want to know what i would choose?? probably this:

So here is the question: what would you choose? … maybe just one word ? maybe a short quote? Maybe a mantra?   just post a comment and I will be selecting a winner WED morning! Thanks LIZ (I miss you… eat some Mexican for me.!)

WOW! my oldest daughter Emily would FLIP over anything from that site. She's a jewelry fanatic. I'd go with something personalized for her. Thanks for a chance to win!

[Heather Awsumb]

Personally, I'm loving the flower pendant in the pic. I'll have to dream up something good.

[Yvonne]

Wow, I think I would choose one of those she rings. I love the book and keep it on my desk for inspiration. (thanks Heidi!) I would love to have a little she on my finger, just to have it with me through the day;)

[tracy]

I love the flower too but I also like the little squares necklace. Not sure if what I would choose really would need/require a word?!It is March 2, and the word I supposedly adopted for 2009 was achieve, however, I have taken that nowhere...yet.
It is my 40th Bday today though if that counts for anything!

[Anne Thompson]

Oh my goodness, the flower for sure!!! So adorable!!!

[Carla T]

wow!! gorgeous jewelry. I would definately get something with my kids names on it!

[miss h]

I loved her "6 BE's". But if I had to choose jewelry, I would choose the "Be Brave". Your story about Capri and the makeup is too funny. I only have two boys, so I don't have that problem...

[Julie Johnson]

Such beautiful jewelry...I would totally love to put my "one little word" on a necklace to have it with me all the time!

[Sheri]

I would choose the square pendant and engrave 'i am loved'. my husband and i just celebrated (on Feb.26) our 26th anniversary and i am definitely still loved by this amazing man. so i feel those three words have great meaning to me now & always.

thanks for the opportunity heidi...love your new house of 3...it's giving me lots of ideas...can't even sleep at night...my brain just won't shut off!

[Marlene Moore]

I just checked out her site and absolutely love the stacking hearts necklace it is so fun and funky looking.

[mickey]

wow, absolutely, positively would choose the flower. Gorgeous! But all her stuff is. The hilarious thing is I have her bookmarked, and just visited her blog last night for the first time in a bit. I went back to get caught up, but how did I miss that she is PG?? Her little boy is adorable. Yay for Liz!! :o)
Congrat's on the good turnout for open house. I'm off to visit your links.... :o)

[Marlene Moore]

I just checked her Etsy site and love the stacking hearts necklace.
So fun and funky.
I had to re-post this as my original seemed to disappear !

[ruth]

something with a heart and the word 'surrender'......love it!

[Mickey C.]

well, I posted a reply but it didn't put my name. And now I don't see my post, so maybe I did this wrong?? :o-

Anyhoo, I'd choose the flower. It's fab!! Totally my favorite by Liz. I love her blog and just visited her on it last night. How did I miss that she is expecting #2 now??!! Woo-hoo. She's amazing, and I adore her work. Good stuff!!
Congrat's, Heidi, on the good turnout at your open house. I'm off to visit it via your links. :o)

[Kristie]

I just checked out her site...everything is so gorgeous it would be hard to choose! But I'd have to go with something with *Dream* on it...my official word for 2009.

[Lorrie]

I would pick the stacking hearts necklace, I love it!

[Amy Nabors]

i think i would have the words 'fear not' on it. or 'imagine, create, dream'. oh there would be so many possibilities. :)

[Kate]

Such a great artist...thanks for sharing her work. I can't wait to explore her pieces a little more.

[TRACEY HESPE]

I would love the fortune coin pendant that says LIVE LOVE LAUGH and the inscription on the back to say "20 years strong" as it my 20th wedding anniversary in April. Thanks for this opportunity.

[rebecca k]

I love the necklace with the 2 circle tags for kids names. I have two kids and would love to have a necklace with their names on it.

[Becky W.]

Love the flower!!! Way too cute!

[Tamikko Gordin]

I would get a bracelet with my kids names on it. Great jewelery. I also love the 'Just Be' necklace and 'Enjoy the Journey', both great sayings to live by.

[laura j]

wow! visited the etsy shop and loved each piece....so hard to decide...scrolled up and down and back again, then I realized there was a second page! oh no, how can i pick just one?! I do love the organic flower pendant...it's so beautiful!

[Jenny Young]

I love the "initial" necklace. The sample she shows in her Etsy shop would work just fine. J.

[linda thompson]

Oh my gosh, I would LOVE to own a Liz Eaton original!
It would take forever for me to choose... because I adore all her creations.
I attended one of your appearances at the Lucky 13 store where you brought your baby Capri. Soon after I found out you were pregnant again and I did the math and figured you were barely pregnant at that appearance. Anyway, Liz was holding Capri that night.
It was fun meeting you both!
