EASTER 2012

New Cupcake Toppers!

For all you photographers out there, or anyone who loves anything "vintage",

I've added some sweet new cupcake toppers to my ETSY shop!

A SUPER SPECIAL DAY

I've tried 3 times to try and write this post but it's been hard to put into words

the special day we got to be a part of on Saturday...

So...the best thing for you to do is read this post, written by my BFF...

then come back and look at the rest of the pics! :)

Rissa thought we were all at the beach to celebrate her mom's birthday.

This was one of the last pictures I took before she finally noticed David and realized what was happening. I LOVE David's silliness in the background!

She was truly shocked and surprised to see him...but she gave him a huge hug.

I'm not sure what he was saying here but she was captivated!

I think it might have been something sweet...

This was her reaction when he got down on one knee...

Rissa's whole family was there and I think this was the moment after the proposal

when they finally remembered everyone was there! :)

While David was proposing my sweet little girl was writing about love in the sand...

Celebrating with mom...

It was so cute...within minutes of the proposal they were texting and facebooking and calling friends.

I loved that David was taking a picture of the ring to share with everyone....

I think this is my favorite picture of the day. Laurissa was SO HAPPY...

My kiddos think Laurissa and David are the best thing since sliced bread

so they thought the whole thing was pretty cool!

Thank you, Rissa and David, for letting us be a part of your amazing day!!

We love you both!

A giveaway!

If there is anyone still reading this silly blog, my BFF is hosting a giveaway on her blog for my cupcake toppers. Head on over and enter!! :)

Simply...this, that and the other!

Happy...VALENTINE'S DAY??????

Well, since my last post was titled "Gobble Gobble" I guess it's been a while since I've updated! We are doing great and loving life with a Kindergartener and 2nd grader. I have a lot of updates and pictures to post about...hopefully I will get to it some day...but for now I wanted to post a few pictures of my new favorite project, mustache valentines!!

My sweet little Kindergartener decided she wanted to do mustache-themed valentines for her classmates. (Brother was going to do them too then decided Star Wars sounded much better!) I thought I was pretty clever to come up with my idea, then I started seeing mustache valentines all over the internet and realized they've been done many times before! So much for originality!! :) We put our own little spin on things, had a blast making them together and LOVE the way they turned out!

We started out with these awesome cookie cutters that my hubby gave me for Christmas...

My very talented cake-decorating sister-in-law gave us some homemade pink fondant to use...

have you ever seen such cute, pink mustaches?

We made our sugar cookies...

...and used some yummy buttercream frosting to "glue" the fondant to the cookies...

Here's my cute little helper...(LOVE THOSE FRECKLES!)

The tags...

(My favorite part, the packaging!!)

Bagged and ready to go!

There is a place on the back where she will write her valentine's name.

This was such a FUN project! I LOVE the way they turned out!!

GOBBLE GOBBLE!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I am loving...

My daughter in this "hat"...

These pics that Miss B took of her brother...

...and freshly baked cookies and a friendly game of Monopoly...
