Lordy Lordy, look who's 40!!
My brother in law turned 40 yesterday! We had a party for him this weekend. I decided to add a little humor and here is what I came up with.
The cake is carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Yummy! The dirt is crumbled cookies and the rocks are jelly beans!

Jewelry Box and Earring Holder
My daughter was sick yesterday so I got to be a stay at home mom for a day! And I LOVED it! It got to take care of my little girl, do some deep cleaning that I have been wanting to do, and CRAFT! I have a whole long list of to do crafts from following all of the wonderful blogs that I do! :) For the life of me, I cannot remember which blog that I found the jewelry box re-make idea, but I did see the earring holder from here!
So I got to mark 2 of them off of my list! Yeah!
Jewelry Holder...
First, I started with a frame I just had!
Then I painted it black!
I had some old placemats that I thought would be perfect! They have a pattern on them similar to burlap - and since I had them, it was FREE! So I cut out a piece and stapled it to the back of the frame. Then I drilled a couple of holes and pulled ribbon through and tied knots. I had a couple of flowers in my scrapbook supplies and thought they would look cute on the frame as well!
Then I simply put my earrings through the little holes and hung it in my bedroom! I love it!
Next was to revamp this tired jewelry box. 
All of the furniture in my bedroom is black, so I went with the black theme again! I liked the idea of adding fabric to the glass and went with a deep red to match the red accents in my bedroom. I also had a little burlap flower in my stash and added that and a pearl to the front for a little girly-flare!
This is the inside...
And here they are together in my bedroom! Love them!! And better yet, I spent absolutely no money! Yeah! I LOVE stay at home mom days!!

I LOVE SPRING!
Spring is my absolute favorite season - BY FAR!! I love all of the colors, the sounds, the weather getting warmer, the sound of lawnmowers, the smell of BBQ's...and the decorations! Here are a few that I have done for the spring time this year!
These flowers I made for my girls - this weekend we are having a spring "photo shoot"! They will look so good with their Easter dresses!
My attempt at modeling them! Man, I need to do my roots! :)
My spring wreath on the front door! I love it! So welcoming!
And you cannot forget my little stitchery made just for easter time!
I made these this past weekend! I love my Cricut! (I also used the Cricut for the live, laugh, love frame behind it!) I love the colors!!
So bright, lively...and well...springy!!
HAPPY SPRING TIME EVERYONE!Thursday, March 18, 2010
P P P Poker Face!
This cake was made for my step-kids, grandpa, who is very sick wtih cancer. At such a sad depressing time in the lives of all who know and love him, his family wanted to have a party to celebrate with him and not be focused on the sickness. He is an avid fan of the poker playing! So I was given the suggestion of maybe making a sheet cake into a poker card...well I cannot just do a poker card! :) I had to challenge myself and for Rich, I needed to make something that was cool! I decided to make a hexagon shaped poker table with cards, chips and dice! The kids helped in making the poker chips so they could be a part of it too! I think it turned out pretty good and the look on all of their faces was worth it! My step-daughter picked out the cake flavor and wanted to do the funfetti - so we did that and added a filling of coconut cream...tasty!
