Pink, Black and White Baby Shower!

Well its been quite a wile since little Claire was born! Two years to be exact but I thought I would share the pics from my best friend's baby shower when we were anxiously awaiting her arrival! The colors were pink, black and white. I along with our other best friend, Joanna and Jan's sister, Erica hosted the shower at Kitchen on George in Mobile, AL. What a quaint little restaurant filled with so much character. The food is amazing too! Enjoy!

Joanna made the best ever chocolate chip cookies for favors. The bags said "So SWEET of you to come!"















I need a new camera! Pallet Wall & Man Cave Progress...

So last night I was taking pics of the work in progress in the hubs man cave and have come to the conclusion that I really need a camera. I take my pics on my iPhone 4s and they are terrible! I really want to post more pics but feel they aren't good enough for my blog! With that said I'll just add it to my always growing list of things I probably don't need but want. Here are a few pics of the pallet wall he is currently working on. We finally finished the brown paper bag floor too! He left it natural with no stain, just poly on top. He has borrowed my drop cloth curtains, that are way to long for his space, but he hasn't gotten a blind yet and felt like he was on display when he was working on the back wall. :) I think its coming along nice. He wants that cabin/rustic feel. I think he's getting there!

Craft Room Inspiration

So last night I spent hours in my craft room trying to make it cute and organized. I still need to do quite a few things like paint. The loft has nice built in bookshelves and a desk but the desk is not your ideal sewing space. I brought up a folding table last night and put a plastic flannel backed table cloth on it and moved my sewing mache out of my computer space! I hung up some bunting banners that I had left over from my Cotton Pickin Paint Party. I want this space to be fun and colorful. I think the main thing I need to do is paint my bookshelves and desk. They are stained with a dark brown stain and I hate it. It's so drab. I think I will paint them white but give the inside of the shelves a pop of color. I was on LollyJane's Blog earlier and fell in love with this herringbone pattern!  What a neat idea! Here are some of my other favorite craft rooms! I will post pics of my happy space soon!
Happy Crafting!

Paint a bookcase a herringbone stencil, use mason jars, crates and suitcases for storage!

Once Upon a Cupcake....

So a couple of years back I got into the cake/cupcake world and Posh Cupcakes was born! It was fun for a while but working a FT job and running a household didn't leave me for much time to really put into it. Check out my old blog here. Here are a few pics of my work!
