All Things Fabulous

Share of the Special Day!

Here is just a share of photos from Blakes first birthday! It was just a small get together we had. And it was perfect! Right when B woke up he went straight for the balloon that was placed at the end of the bed. He then walked down the hallway and was ready to start his day! He opened presents... err ate the wrapping paper. Then we went to town to go to the park. He loved the slide and the swing! Afterwards we went out for lunch and did some shopping. In the evening it was pizza and cake time! The banner and party hat made by me. The cake I put together the night before. Funfetti, vanilla with butter cream frosting. Fondant covered.

Nom, nom paper!

Teacher Appreciation Week

This week is teacher appreciation week and to show mine and Z's appreciation to her wonderful teachers I made these simple little gifts. The water bottle gift seems to be all the rage and I see why. CUTE and easy!! I added both an instant ice coffee mix and pink lemonade. The tags I made from using a svg file on my SCAL. (if you want the file just let me know). I added the other embellishments and glued everything together. For the highlighter tag I got the print out from this lovely site.

Boring to Fabulous!

Have you seen those awesome colorful flower pots?! They have been around for awhile and you can find them in the gardening section of most home stores. Some are ceramic, terracotta or plastic. A few weeks ago I wanted some BRIGHT colored ones too. Sooo I took a trip to my local home depot and looked at the flower pots they had in the gardening section while Z picked up some watermelon seeds and B tried eating the jalapeno packet of seeds...

The prices of the pretty colored containers were just a little to high for me. After all I'm just filling them with dirt! So I headed over to my other favorite section of the store and picked a few cans of spray paint! Love these colors too!! I decided to paint over some plain jane beige flower pots I've had sitting around. I now have pretty colored flower pots too that only cost me a few bucks!
