Dirty Thirty

I apologize for my hiatus. I had to take a small break while working through some things.

I have been dying to showcase Lee's Dirty Thirty! I have been working so hard on all the small things for the party. It was extremely hard not to show them as I went, but it was a surprise party so it was have ruined it.

It is so difficult to keep things from Lee and to surprise him, but I finally pulled it off for his Dirty Thirty...

Hope you enjoy....

I had so much fun putting everything together for the party. It was hard to make sure he didn't see all my little crafts. Good thing, he rarely ever goes into my craft room. I also had lots of help from my mom to store some items.

Crafty Scale Back

I'm Back! I know I said I'd see you on the 20th, but I had a lot of catching up to do along with the fact that the last few days have been an emotional roller coaster.

Unfortunately, I do not have a craft for you today, but I do have pictures from our amazing trip to Europe! I do have some unfortunate news though. Due some circumstances as of lately, I need to scale back on my craftiness. For now, I will only be posting a few days a week instead of 5 days. I need to put my job hunt in full gear and on top of that I need to scale back on my JoAnn's and Michael's shopping sprees. Hopefully the job hunt will not take too long and I can get back to my 5 days a week posts. Wish me luck ;)

Hope you enjoy some pictures from our trip....

Ah, Paris!

I'm am so excited to show you my Sew Cute Project today! 

One, because I am in love with it and had so much fun making it. 

and Two, because this is my last countdown to Europe post.

We leave tomorrow!!!! I can't even believe it's here! 

I have been giddy all week and now we are down to the last minute details.

So, I had a friend recently that got the cutest bridal gift,

and I thought, hmm... I could make that. So I did!

It's a undergarment laundry bag. Her's had a bra and panties,

that had two sections on it. One for wear, and one for wash. 

So here is my take, Paris style =) 

 

Hope you enjoyed! I will be signing off for a bit since I will be out of the country! (Man, I love saying that)

See you back here on Monday the 20th =)

I 'Mustache' You a Question

MIA

So I must apologize for being MIA.

Again, my excuse is more hours and more goodies.

Plus there is so much to be done before EUROPE. We leave Thursday =) 

I also must apologize that I do not have a How-To today.

Only some pictures of a bridal shower cake I made this weekend.

I also did some cookies and cupcakes for my Sister-in-laws birthday, but I haven't been able to upload those yet, so I must save those for another time.

I was thrilled with the outcome..

Its chocolate cake with cream cheese icing... my favorite.. yum...

I must admit that I made more than enough icing,

so that I would have leftovers ;)

Shh... don't mention it to my Personal Trainer Husband.
