It's mostly, "eeeeeek!.... I'm bumbling my way through this, but I'm trying my best and I'm having a BLAST!!!"

I am in my 4th month of weekly Level 1 Lindy lessons. I'm determined to get really good at this, because it brings me so much joy. Even just watching the really experienced dancers gives me life!

edit: grammar

My favorite part so far is the hand-lettered sign. I did a lot of research on Mexican hand-lettered signs!

The mini Spongebob figurine is from the Five Below set. The aquarium just looked so lonely and boring so I added the figurine and the message in the bottle thing. The aquarium was definitely the weakest idea.

Still loved the set though!

I just finished my little bakery! (Lulu is my dog, sorry if there's fur in your fondant!) I bought this kit online and changed it up quite a bit. Acrylic craft paint and scrapbook paper were used extensively. The cakes and baked goods are made from polymer clay and tiny foam cylinders I found at a craft store. Decorated with paint, nail art decorations, beads, ribbon, etc. The pink cake stand bases are golf tees!

I've included what the kit is "supposed to" look like. (last 2 pics)

Just bought this 50's inspired dress that I'm in love with! I'm planning to wear it for a vintage/vintage-inspired pageant. This is for the "evening/cocktail" portion.

I know I need to shorten the hem and cinch that waist!

The shoes were just what I had nearby and I know they're too boring. I can't do really tall or skinny heels. Would a mule heel look best? How about something that looks like a strappy dance shoe?

I like the idea of gloves but am wondering if wrist length would look better. And would dark green look better? I'm thinking I could custom dye some white ones.

I know this jewelry is too plain (it's what I already had on). What are your suggestions for type of jewelry? Should I bring in the dark green color? Is it too much if I do sparkly?

Hair: would a little pill box/fascinator go with this? Maybe a sparkly hair comb sweeping back over one ear?

I would appreciate any ideas! Thank you!

This was a prison-style tattoo that was almost 30 years old.

In case anyone wants an idea of how much I've spent: I paid $706 for 6 treatments.

It was $226 for a 3-pack with Spectra laser (Groupon deal).

$480 for a 3-pack with PicoPlus laser (Black Friday deal - 20% off).

The tech who has been treating me told me (when I was asking about the Black Friday deal) that if it wasn't gone by the 2nd 3 pack, she'd keep treatment going until it's gone. I don't have a ton of faith that they'll stand by this since it wasn't in writing, but if they do it, great!

These were clearly new/unworn but must have been stored wrong. I wore them for 10 minutes inside my apartment and the inside liner just disintegrated. I paid $50 for these and "accepted" them before I wore them. I'm really hoping they let me return them for a refund. Waiting to hear back from CS.

I bought a different pair that give off the most embarrassing little fart noise when I walk. Ughhhh I'm so done!!

She has a sensitive tummy so I couldn't give her a cheeseburger like I would've liked. I made her a chicken "cupcake" with natural peanut butter used as frosting and to write with.
