CSN button review

I got these buttons a few weeks ago from CSN stores, 

and I wasn't so sure about them, 

as I said in my last post. 

But when they came, 

I am in love! 

Check out how many buttons there are!

They are all different qualities, 

from really super awesome, 

to something that I will let my daughter play with. 

I am excited to add these to my sewing and crafting!

I also got a cookie press which is fun to use, 

I didn't think it was hard to use, 

or squeeze the dough out of. 

Since it came with a few decorator tips, 

I am going to have fun with that.

But I plan on using it to inject filling into my cupcakes!

Ummm.... Yummy cupcakes!

Pentel Pastel Fabric Dye Sticks

So I got these cool fabric dye pastels from CSN stores. 

Look at the pretty colors!!

Anyway,

I ordered these Monday, and got them on Tuesday.

Seriously! That is some FAST shipping.

Which is awesome!

Especially since, I don't live in a huge city, actually I live in a little tiny 

'blink and you miss it' kind of town.

So I started to have some fun with these pastels.  

I know my designs are magical. 

I was trying to blend them, 

like pastels usually do, 

these pastels, don't really blend well with your finger... 

But the colors are bight and fun.  

All the instructions say to do,

is color your designs, 

put paper over them and iron. 

So I did.  

Here's what they look like after.  

Just the same.... 

No blending of any sort. 

But check this out. 

When I took another scrap of white cotton and rubbed it over the design,

Color came off. 

Hummmm.....

I washed them, and rubbed some more white cotton over the design.

The same thing happened. 

Just to be clear, I wasn't scrubbing this super vigorously. 

But just lightly running my hand across the design, 

I didn't get any dye on my hands.

I think I would probably use these for:

Wall hangings,

small craft projects where I could but a sealer over the colors,

and

home decor projects that aren't touched a lot. 

That being said, I really do the love the colors, 

but the baby rompers, 

I had planned to use these on 

will have to wait for something else.  

CSN Store Review

So guess what?!

CSN stores wants to do another review with me. 

I am totally excited. 

This second time around I am going to see what fun stuff

 I can find from their store. 

That maybe you wouldn't notice in a store like that. 

Like these:

I am totally excited to try these babies out!

I have some fun ideas already being cooked up in my little head, 

with these awesome colors. 

What about these:

I can almost guarantee that these buttons are not going to be the highest quality,

but I am excited to see what they are going to be like. 

I guess that is why I am doing this review, huh!!

There seems to be lots of fun colors, for different

crafts that I can do with Kay.  

Plus $6.75 for a huge bucket o' buttons?!

Come on...

Last but not least there is:

I have been wanting 1 of these for a while. 

With Kay getting so big and wanting to decorate 

cupcakes and cookies every other day, 

I thought this would be a fun addition to the mess we make.

I'm excited!

To be completely honest, it was a super hard decision, because, 

they have everything!

I was thinking about getting a comfy chair,

like this

because I am sitting on a hard metal folding chair.

I know, glamorous!

Something else I considered,

How awesome would this be to organize all your fabric!?

Seriously!!

They have so many other awesome office desks, 

that could totally be used as craft room tables!

Go check it out!

CSN Shoes review!

So I got my shoes, and I really like them!

I have to be honest, 

I don't actually love them, 

but I wear them.

I guess I have a love hate relationship with these shoes. 

I love the color, 

but the sides of the shoe go so low on the sides of me feet, they look 

silly from my point of view. 

My hubby says they look like they are going to fall off. 

Anyway, 

I love the grommets in the ruffle, 

but some of the grommets are a little smashed and bent.

Easy fix, so I am not worried about that.

I am not so sure on the sizing, 

but maybe I just have a huge long big toe, 

who knows?

But I will say,

 CSN stores did a great job, getting my order done fast, 

and they shipped my order a day early, 

just because it was ready!

I thought that was awesome. 

Head over there are check them out!

My First Review

This is something I am really excited about. 
But what I am not really excited about?


CSN stores asked me if I would review something from their stores and well....
After much thinking and debating, I came up with these shoes.
How cute are they?!


I am excited to show them to you and excited to make an outfit to match!


The hardest part is having to wait until they get here!

P.S. Did you know CSN stores has EVERYTHING?! 
They offered this review to me last year and
 it took me this long to figure out what I wanted
 because of so much selection! 
Go over and check it out!
They have everything from leather briefcase to.... 
shoes!
