Wow, I just browsed all of your pictures and I have to say you did an awesome job!! I loved everything! My daughters are turning 7 next week, and one wants La la loopsy and of course the other one wants something different, so I am having a difficult time merging the two! Thanks for your wonderful documented ideas! You gave me some great ideas!

I hope the URLs help with the tutorials all being in one place. I think searching for ideas and tutorials took more time then actually making the stuff. And thank you for looking. :)
