Birthdays and more Birthdays!

April is a big month for birthdays in our family and friends!  We have 2 siblings, 1 brother in law, 1 son, 1 grandma, and many friends who have birthdays all within a few weeks!!!  Needless to say birthdays are the main thing on my mind!  I have been slowly learning how to decorate cakes - I have learned that I don't have the steadiest hand, and that I can't write on cakes.  I guess slowly those will come!  My two friends have birthdays a day apart so I made them a cake for our girls night!  I am not creative so I copied a cake out of a Wilton Cake Decorating book - but I was impressed with how it turned out!!!  Pretty good for my first attempt (I am building my self up so that I will attempt it again)!

Now for the next Birthday - My little man is turning 2!  Here is a little preview of the things I have been working on for his party that is happening in about a week!!!

Now I have to decide if my self esteem is high enough for me to attempt a "Mickey" cake of some sort!!  

Spring Time Wreath

One of my friends here in Florida thinks that I have too many decorations - so I decided to start decorating outside!!  I personally think that you can never have too many decorations - life has to be exciting right?  Plus....my sanity is creating things so more decorations it is!!  I got the idea for this wreath here.  I needed to do it really cheap - because I am cheap (and poor) so I got the twig wreath at the dollar store and my 2 friends and I shared some "fat quarters" that were 30% off at the fabric store.  That made the cost of this wreath come down to $2!  YAY!!  Thanks Kacey and Kali for a fun craft day!!
