Hi Everyone!!! Welcome!!
Hope you had a FABULOUS weekend! I got a little crafty & creative with my food photo props this weekend. I was going to wait to share them with you until tomorrow- however I have a VERY EXCITING GIVEAWAY that you won’t want to miss. It goes live tomorrow morning! Be sure to come back & enter. I have teamed up with my dear friend- the FABULOUS Elena on her new venture Daily Mom. I will be hosting this giveaway tomorrow & will also be a regular contributor for her over there. Check it out. She has done an amazing job at putting together a great resource for moms.
So anyhow, the photo props. I purchased some of those adorable paper party straws. But you know- they can be a bit pricey when I am just using them for props. So I decided to take a bunch of straws I had on hand & do a little quick work with the Washi tape. I have collected a few rolls & have been meaning to do something with them. A million different things pop in my head of things to do – I never end op doing any of them. So this time I did. Maybe because it was for photo props- made it more of a priority I guess. 🙂
Some I taped straight down to keep the pattern as it is on the tape. Some I decided to wrap instead- came out just as cute.
As you can see- I have a thing about photographing them.
Could be my love of photographing products. I don’t know- but I couldn’t stop snapping these
So what kept you busy over the weekend??? Can’t wait to see!
Don’t forget to come back & join me on Mondays for Project 52 & Wednesdays for Your Best Weekly

I love this idea. I don’t like paper straws because they get soggy after a while. I want cool straws for parties.
