It’s Sunday after prom and I am spent. Had myself some blueberry banana pancakes and bacon and now am doing some laundry.

Prom — for those of you who don’t know — is not high school prom. Prom in Ames is an awesomely fun night of dancing, drinking and debauchery in which we get dressed up like jackasses and dance our butts off for charity. All proceeds go to the American Cancer Society.

This year’s theme was Party on Bourbon Street: Prom Gone Wild.  So I finally got to wear this masterpiece of sequins and tulle. I painted a mask on as well because there was no way I was going to carry a mask around all night.

Here are some select photos. Enjoy!

This morning I discovered Craft Hope — a project designed to share handmade gifts and donations with the less fortunate.  In light of the recent quake in Haiti, I decided to participate in the Craft Hope Etsy store by donating something for them to sell.

I donated the men’s winter set.  This is the one that I’d knitted for Kasey a few years ago but he didn’t like it, so when we broke up, he returned it to me.  What better way to get rid of an ex-boyfriend gift than by donating for a sale where 100% of the proceeds go to a good cause.

Anyway, if you’re a fellow craftster or artist, you should check out Craft Hope and donate something to the etsy store.
