Jacob's 5th Birthday

My son just turned FIVE!!! I can't belive how fast its been! Five years ago, Hubby and I had NO idea what to expect! I'm so glad to have family and support... the first year was the hardest, thanks to all who have helped me! It's truely a blessing to have a child of your own! Okay back to subject, we didn't have a big party for him this year. It was just my hubby's parents and his siblings with their kids.

He wanted a GI Joe party but I had to tell him that we wasn't having a BIG party. He says as long as he gets something GI Joe then its ok. LOL! This is a few goody bags a made for him and his cousins with their name on it. Their names were printed in green camoflauge pattern. Inside I just had a few candies and a GI Joe mask.

Well, since it was just a small gathering, Jacob wanted to just make a cake instead of buying one. I told him I'll TRY to make one! This was the best I could do! =) Then Jacob covered it with sprinkles. He said "Mom, its ok if its not perfect, its just a cake" Oh how I love him!!!

(Next to cake was GI Joe cake plates)

DIY Flowers!!!

LOOK AT THESE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS!!! Aren't these just darling!?!

Head on over to Maya*Made to get the full tutorial!!!

 I just love how many different projects you can do with this!

This would also be great to make a mini flower to use as a cupcake topper!

I finally got those scissors!!! Hehe! Got it from Michael's at the Martha Stewart section, and used the 40% off coupon! yay!!!

Sneak Peek: Max 1st Birthday

My sister had asked me to do an invitation for her son's 1st birthday. At first, when I made the invitation, she was just going for a blue/green/brown color theme, but then a few days ago she changed her mind to throw a football party. Luckily, I can still use these colors! =)

These are the cupcake toppers. Since these were already made, we're still going to use this. But I could have made a football topper version. This will do! hehe..

NEW!!! Coming soon to Etsy

So I just got this NEW Zebra crochet band! I'm sorry that I still haven't added anything on Etsy yet. I'm not sure when I will be able to, but in the meantime if you are interested in anything or any questions, feel free to email me,  I can reserve a listing for you. The smaller pictures are with 4" red flower clip and the other is hot pink. This Zebra band is great with ANY color!!!

Baptism Banner

A banner I made for my sister's son for his Baptism Reception that was held a couple months ago. I totally forgot to post this picture!

His colors were blue and green AKA my sister's favorite color. His 1st birthday is coming up soon at the end of this month...Stay Tuned!!!

Christmas Cupcake Bites and Cake Pops

I made this for my In-Laws as a small Christmas Gift. I forgot to take a picture of the finished product but I had a few small Christmas baskets and placed about 12 pieces of this inside and then wrapped it with cellophane.

I didn't know which colors would look together so I mixed them up. =)

I guess after making so many "cupcake" pops, it was harder for me to make these regular cake pops in ball form! This should've been easier for me!

As for these, these were just on the table for the kids to grab and eat. I think I made them so many times that my kids are tired of it! Hehe!

If you didn't see my earlier posts about these cupcake pops and want to make them...visit Bakerella to get the full instuctions on how to make one!

Wedding Favor Box

Wow!!! It's almost been a YEAR since my brother's wedding! My daughter was still a newborn at that time so I was occupied with her and being a bridesmaid that I forgot to take pictures! Of course they had a photographer, so I was glad to see this picture when my brother and his wife came to visit recently. (They live in another state). This is the favors I made for them. The box was from Michaels Arts & Crafts. Inside were See's candies...Love those candies!!! Sorry the picture is a little grainy...I took a picture from his photobook..hehe

Now I'm excited to be doing my brother-in-law's wedding invitations and favors for this comming April!!!
