A Baby Shower for our Vickie and Olivia

 

 

On Saturday, June 2nd my Mom, Aunt Peggy, and I threw Vickie a baby shower at Peggy and Vince's house. They have a beautiful large backyard so it was a perfect location to have the special event. We did all of the decorations, ordered food from Claros,so yummy, highly reccomend it, and Peggy got the cupcakes from Cupcake Mama's, which were so good. 

Most of the decoration ideas came from Pinterest and we had fun making them.

  Peggy had these hats made.

 

My Mom crocheted this beautiful blanket.

What a great day it was! And so fun to get ready and do the crafting!

Thank you to everyone who came! 

Oliva, I think you have enough stuff now. You can come anytime!

Christmastime around these parts

It's a his birthday!

Rodger turned 26 on the 28th of last month (only 2 more years till the "golden" birthday or is it the "star" birthday.

We went out to dinner with his family on his birthday and then the next night we went out to dinner with my parents. There were cakes and presents.

Pictures from the festivities.

The picture of the girl stretching was not a gift or anything. Just a something that I ripped out of a magazine and forgot to put away (because I am so busy stretching).

The cake I made Rodger. In my head it was supposed to look like a Nestle Sundae cone but it went wrong in a few ways. First the whole cake wouldn't come out of the pan so I couldn't cut it into a triangle cone shape, then the frosting was a lot darker than I thought it was going to be, etc, etc. Good news though, it tasted really good. Like I always say, it's the thought that counts.

I guess there weren't that many pictures.

But fun times were had. And now it has been documented.

And now Rodger is 26.
Just a baby still.

Dream Rooms

These are some pictures of rooms and design ideas from around the web that I like. If only I had a house of my own to decorate and paint as I wish. Maybe just even a room of my own that I can decorate and paint. I would be happy with that. I can compromise on how my house is decorated (Rodger and I have different ideas of what looks good. Well mostly he doesn't care for all the color and old looking stuff I like. I am fine with what he likes) as long as I have a craft room I can decorate the way I want. But if I were to design my own house I would definently want rooms that look like these.

I am not sure where all these pictures came from. Most are from "Design Sponge" and "Apartment Therapy" but I didn't keep track when saving them. However, I got the idea of a post like this from Eliza who is now a homeowner, yeah! Congrats on that, can't wait to see how you decorate. I am sure it will be super cute.

So here goes. (Sorry the pictures are a bit scattered.)

-This one has been all over the Internet but I love the idea of a desk in a closet and I love the color.
