This Ain't Your Mama's Photo Booth Folks: The Mammothbooth!

Happy happy Thursday uncrafters! Today's post may seem like your typical cheesy sponsored post--have no fear uncrafters, I wouldn't do that to your pretty faces!

Today I'm introducing you to a very cool new company and product that I genuinely believe in--the Mammothbooth! I've used it myself and love it.  This product is SO. MUCH. FUN. And it doesn't hurt that the masterminds behind it are some of the nicest people on this planet--they love what they do and put their heart and soul into their work, and it shows.

So here's what it is: a photobooth you can rent for weddings, parties, or a Friday night in (I can't say the thought hasn't crossed my mind...). I know, I know--you know what a photo booth is. But folks, this one is different.  Just take a look at these pictures...those dinky two-person booths got nothin' on the Mammothbooth!

Didn't I tell you?

So here's how it works:

1. You rent the Mammothbooth!, which serves Detroit and Chicagoland, but will travel anywhere! In their words, "We're pimpin' all over the world."

2. They set up the Mammothbooth! with any of their pre-made backdrops--or a custom backdrop! They'll go to any length to make sure your photo booth experience totally fits in with your wedding or party's feel and theme. Can you get that from a regular photo booth? Nope. Plus, they'll put your watermark on all the pictures for ya. Pretty cool.

3. You do your thing--pile as many guests as you can into the shot (which you can see on their high quality screen right in front of yo face), get your mustaches and chalkboards ready, press the button on the remote control and viola! You have a freaking awesome picture.

4. You can take as many pictures as you want. Seriously. And they're all available for download (free of charge!) the next day! SERIOUSLY. Having the Mammothbooth! at your wedding pretty much guarantees that every single guest's Facebook profile picture will be a Mammothbooth! pic.

Just one look at their website and you'll be able to tell just how cool (not to mention funny) these guys are. They were even nominated for an award for creating this masterpiece of a site. You better check it out {here}, tweet at them {here}, and like them {here}. And if you'd be so kind, take a minute to vote for them as best party rental in the Metro Detroit area {here}!

But really. If you do anything to make your life and your parties better today, let it be this. You can't not want something this fun at your next soiree!

 

 Heh. I want to be friends with those people.

A Project is in the Works!

Happy Friday uncrafters! I just wanted to bring you into the know about some of the fun things I've got in store for the blog.  Some serious DIY is in the works, folks.  Here's the backstory: I've never been the type to put in the effort to make my own life prettier.  I'm not naturally inclined to break out the floral-y paper and scissors to make a plain notebook my own, or to make cute little decorations for my room.  I'm aiming to change that.  My goal is to make my room next year as pretty as possible.  Now, I've got two other roommates who probably won't be on board with my style, but I can make my own little corner gorgeous, right? I just feel happier when my environment is stylish, and I also want to do more work!  Here are some of my ideas so far (inspired by weddings, of course!):

I've always been a huge fan of weddings with handpainted signs in pretty fonts, like this one:

Isn't that just gorgeous? My color scheme will be a bit different, but I think you get what I'm going for with the signs.  This work of art will go on the wall next to my bed, in the form of one of my favorite quotes. Here was my first obstacle, though. I am NOT an artist, and my handwriting is awful, even when I try really hard.  So I had to find a way to paint my favorite fonts onto pieces of wood.  My thoughts right now are to use a projector...and I think it will work? Hopefully! If anyone has any other suggestions, let me know!

Here's my color scheme: light blush tones with a hint of sparkle, a little light gray, and pops of blue.  Muh faves.

That will take up the most of my DIY time.  I also fell in love with these blue painted vases from Lauren of Every Last Detail's styled shoot:

So I'm gonna make some of my own.  I'm also thinking of adding some flourishes like paper flowers and pretty ribbon and chiffon braids.  And of course, those will all be put up here for your crafting pleasure.  I haven't started any of it yet, but I'm excited.  I'm also a little afraid I won't be able to bring the visions in my head to life.  We shall see!
