Angry Birday Party! Robert turns 7!

Hello Everyone! I decided to share some of the Angry Bird Party pictures from my recent 7 year olds birthday party! All of the decorations were made by me or bought from Etsy.

It seems like every where you turned in my house there was balloons, or streamers. I had a friend create the angry birds cake and cupcakes, and then my little sister made some cake balls for her nephew. Stayed with the primary colors throughout the house, tons of paper mache pigs every where! Those took a while to make. I also had golden eggs hidden all around the yard. 

 My now 7 year old enjoyed it, I was trying to figure out the appropriate age at which it is ok to just drop your son off at a birthday party, so I let all of the parents leave their kids and suggested they go get pedicures, or have some time to themselves! It worked out really well, we didnt have any problems with any of the kids! 

In the backyard is where the kids stayed mostly, a slip and slide, a water slide, and a little swimming pool. Along with all of that we had an angry birds crash course with water balloons! We built it out of boxes, and my paper mache pigs became obliterated!

Happy Birthday to my now 7 year old Robert, oh where does the time seem to go? 

The Kitchen has come far!

We are approaching three years of living in our house. I have always loved and hated the kitchen all together, love that its so large, and hate that the ugly cabinets and everything else in it. We have been slowly remodeling, and I just wanted to share with you a couple of REALLY bad cell phone pictures. 

 This is just one corner in my kitchen, but you can see the amazing difference. I used to have a dark, dull and ugly kitchen and slowly i am making it brighter and better! I need to work on my shelf arranging, but i am digging it, what do you think? I want to paint the shelves, and put up a tile back splash, but my husband will need to come off of strike first. Also I am dreaming of a vintage milk glass cake stand for the corner. 

Oh well I am a happy gal for right now! 

What do you think? What kind of canisters should I go with? Or should the yellow ones stay?

Johana's Bouquet

This is a bouquet I made for Johana, this was a rush order, and the only things the bride wanted were "old brooches" she did not want any newer brooches in there. This was an easy task for me, just because i have been collecting brooches for such a long time. I think i did a pretty good job. Her theme is Marie Antoinette and Peacock, I used several cameos and tried to stay with a blue, and purple pallet.
