    (A Southern Beauty Shop Mystery #2)

    Berkley (Prime Crime), February 2011
    304 pages

    From the Publisher:

    Audrey Faye sashays into Violetta’s Salon looking for stylists for the Miss Magnolia Blossom pageant. Hairdresser Grace Terhune’s opportunity quickly turns into a nightmare with anti-pageant protestors, angry mothers, frantic contestants…and then, a very dead Audrey. The murder weapon was a nail file, making Violetta’s manicurist, Stella, the prime suspect. Now Grace must find the real murderer before she is polished off permanently.

    Quick Thoughts on This Book From Julie:

    This is another time where I jumped into a series – this is the second book of the series but the first one I read. I'm looking forward to reading book one! I was able to connect with the characters right away and read the book quickly! I love the fact that in typical beauty pagent fashion there are pleanty of protestors, lies, affairs, and sabatage! Lots of fun and humor – a book you'll enjoy reading!! 🙂

  • Taming the Sponge Dauber Monster

    One of my favorite Stamping tools are my Sponge Daubers (see them online). But organizing them always seems to be a problem for me – They seem to pop up everywhere. Every time I open a drawer, pull out a project basket, or put away stamp sets it seems a few daubers fall out at me!

    The other day I picked up some great boxes – PERFECT for organizing my daubers.

    ETA: Many of you have asked where I found the boxes – I found them at a vendor fair. I was able to find a similar box on Amazon here – Sponge Dauber Storage Box

    The .pdf of this chart is available on This Blog Post.

    I printed up a chart to assign each spot a color (and but a fresh new set of daubers to fill the box). It holds 40 daubers – so this box gets the entire main color collection for SU. I picked up a second box for the In Colors and any other dauber needs that pop up.

    IMG_3213

    and of course – because I'm me – I had to make the boxes a little prettier 🙂 So I decorated the tops w/some Designer Series Paper

    IMG_3218

    I used Temporary adhesive to hold the DSP and color charts into the lid – that way I can change up the paper with whatever my current favorite is!

    And just so you know I'm not kidding when I say I LOVE my daubers – I couldn't even get my photo box put up before using one of my shiny new daubers
