Some decorating ideas

We could choose a color theme and do everything (including this cute garland) in that color.

How to for garland

This was one on my friends blog.


How to for fortune cookies


Cake Pops for Kristine

I'm not sure if Kristine checks this blog - but if you by chance are Kristine, please navigate away from this page and do not check it again until after your bridal shower. We will probably use it to brainstorm ideas for your big party.
For example: CAKE POPS

We could add a cute tag like this that says whatever we want it to.

And make them whatever colors and shapes we want.

Or we could do something cute like this as a centerpiece with their names - or lovey kinds of words. cute right? (she made these on the martha stewart show!)

These are not appropriate but ridiculously cute so I had to post them.

Check them out on this blog.

Best Carrot Cake EVER!
I made this cake for Easter after I got the recipe from a friend. It is the very best Carrot Cake I have ever had! Tastes even better the day after so you might want to make it a day ahead and put it in the refrigerater or somewhere cool until you eat it. ENJOY! Everyone who had some loved it!

In large bowl:
Beat: 1 1/2 c. sugar, 1 c. oil, 3 lg. eggs
Beat in: 2 c. flour, 2 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tsp. b. soda, 1 tsp. vanilla, 1/2 tsp. salt
Add: 3 c. shredded carrots, 1 c. chopped nuts, 1 can crushed pineapple(drained), 1 c. flaked coconut
You can substitute 1/2 c. applesauce for the oil, 1 egg & 4 egg whites for eggs if desired.
Pour into 9x13 cake pan and bake at 350 for 40 minutes or until done in the middle of the cake.
Frost with cream cheese frosting.

Lets make Tees together this summer

Frames

So these pictures are a little old, but here are the frames I made a few weeks ago. Just thought I'd share. They are so cute and so easy, which is nice. They make for a fast project and an easy gift, so spanks ame and ash.

New Quilt

My down comforter is really too hot to have on my bed here in the summer, so I have been looking forever for a quilt that I liked and could afford. I found this one on sale from anthropologie. I had to track it down to the store in rockefeller, but I finally got it(and free shipping)!

I was rushed but they turned out cute.
This print turned out really cool, especially in a frame, Ame....

I heart Urban Outfitters

These flashdrives are seriously awesome.

Crafting with Marisa

She taught me how to make these cute fabric swirly things that we put on my shirt - cute right?



Sweetness.
I bought this Box die cut for my Big Kick the other day and made these cute boxes to put Easter candy in to give out. I had fun making them. So easy.


When you open the lid you can see the candy under the cellaphane window
made by glueing some real heavy plastic film I got a few years ago at a craft shop, to the underside of the window. I am going to stamp something cute on the inside, too. Just used stickers and stamped bunnies and chicks I cut out and raised up to finish. Fast and fun!


You glue the top window in the back and then I glued one side also, leaving the other side open to fill and open again to get the candy out.
